Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents 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 will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

Section 2.02

Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

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

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.03

Registrar and Paying Agent.

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

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.04

Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than Parent, the Issuer or another Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If Parent, the Issuer or another Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05

Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

Section 2.06

Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:

(1) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

(2) the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or

(3) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (1) or (2) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (f) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.

Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).

(2) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either:

Section 2.07

Replacement Notes.

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

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

Section 2.08

Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes held by Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary of Parent shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.

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

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than Parent, the Issuer, a Subsidiary of Parent or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, by 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on a redemption date or other maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09

Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10

Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

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

Section 2.11

Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Article 3

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

(b) the redemption date;

(d) the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination).

Section 3.02

Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase pursuant to Article 3 or Section 4.14 hereof at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided that no Notes with a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. 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.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03

Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will mail or cause to be mailed, by electronic submission (for Notes held in book-entry form) or by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, except that 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 discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof.

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

(a) the redemption date;

(b) the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination);

(c) 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 portion of the original Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

(f) Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption (except as set forth in Section 3.04 hereof);

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

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

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

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof requests that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04

Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable (subject to the next succeeding sentence) on the redemption date at the redemption price. Notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of a corporate transaction (including an Equity Offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness, an acquisition or financing transaction or a Change of Control) and any such redemption or redemption notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction (including an Equity Offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness, an acquisition or financing transaction or a Change of Control). 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 Issuer’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 Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Section 3.05

Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

Prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on any redemption or purchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent an amount of money, in immediately available funds, 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 will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest 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 interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer 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.

Section 3.06

Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07

(c) Except pursuant to Section 3.07(a) or (b) hereof, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to July 1, 2022.

Year	Percentage
2022	103.500%

(e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

(f) At any time, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.09 or Section 4.14 hereof, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer, or any third party making such a tender offer in lieu of the Issuer, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 15 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but not including, the date of such redemption.

Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer is required to commence an Excess Proceeds Offer, it will follow the procedures specified below.

The Excess Proceeds Offer shall be made to all Holders of the Notes, and, as applicable, (i) if required by the terms of any other First Lien Obligations, to all holders of such other First Lien Obligations, and (ii) if required under the terms of other Indebtedness of Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, to all holders of such other Indebtedness, in each case containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Excess Proceeds Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and, as applicable, such other First Lien Obligations or other Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and, as applicable, such other First Lien Obligations or other Indebtedness surrendered, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been surrendered, all Notes and, as applicable, such other First Lien Obligations or other Indebtedness, as applicable, surrendered in response to the Excess Proceeds Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer.

Upon the commencement of an Excess Proceeds Offer, the Issuer will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Excess Proceeds Offer, will state:

(a) that the Excess Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Excess Proceeds Offer will remain open;

(b) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(d) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(f) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Excess Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(g) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, electronic image scan, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(h) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, as applicable, other First Lien Obligations or other Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer will select the Notes and, as applicable, other First Lien Obligations or other Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC may require) based on the principal amount of Notes and, as applicable, such other First Lien Obligations or other Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and

(i) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC may require) to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Excess Proceeds Offer on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 4.06

Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

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

Section 4.09

Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(a) Parent will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and Parent will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Equity Interests; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and any Subsidiary Guarantor may issue Preferred Equity Interests, in each case, if the Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio of Parent at the time of such incurrence or issuance, as the case may be, would have been less than or equal to 5.50 to 1.0 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the Preferred Equity Interests had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(A) $1.435 billion; and

(B) (i) if such Indebtedness is secured by Liens on Collateral on a First Lien basis, the Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio (determined at the time of such incurrence or issuance on a pro forma basis and assuming any revolving facility established in connection therewith is fully drawn and without netting the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness) is either not greater than 3.75 to 1.00 or not greater than such Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio immediately prior to incurrence; and (ii) if such Indebtedness is secured by Liens on Collateral on a Junior Lien basis, the Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio (determined at the time of such incurrence or issuance on a pro forma basis and assuming any revolving facility established in connection therewith is fully drawn and without netting the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness) is either not greater than 4.75 to 1.00 or not greater than such Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such incurrence;

plus in the case of any Refinancing of any Indebtedness permitted under this clause (2) or any portion thereof, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums (including, without limitation, tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including, without limitation, original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing;

(3) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Parent and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance of Preferred Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that:

(A) if Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuer, or the Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor;

(B) if such Preferred Equity Interests are issued by the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Preferred Equity Interests are held by Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor; and

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of Preferred Equity Interests, as applicable, by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (3);

(4) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Equity Interests of (x) Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred or issued to finance the acquisition of any Person, property or assets or (y) Persons that are acquired by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into or consolidated with Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (including Acquired Debt); provided that after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), if more than $10.0 million of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Equity Interests is at any time outstanding under this clause (4), either:

(A) if such Indebtedness is secured by Liens on Collateral on a First Lien basis, the Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio (determined at the time of such incurrence or issuance on a pro forma basis and assuming any revolving facility established in connection therewith is fully drawn and without netting the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness) is either not greater than 3.75 to 1.00 or not greater than such Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or Investment;

(B) if such Indebtedness is secured by Liens on Collateral on a Junior Lien basis, the Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio (determined at the time of such incurrence or issuance on a pro forma basis and assuming any revolving facility established in connection therewith is fully drawn and without netting the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness) is either not greater than 4.75 to 1.00 or not greater than such Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or Investment; or

(A) the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount and accrued interest of the Indebtedness so Refinanced and any premiums payable and reasonable fees, expenses, commissions and costs in connection therewith;

(B) the Refinancing Indebtedness shall have a final maturity equal to or later than, and a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than, the earlier of (i) 91 days after the final maturity date of the Notes and (ii) the final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity, respectively, of the Indebtedness being Refinanced;

(C) if the Indebtedness being Refinanced is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantees, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantee on terms at least as favorable to the Holders of Notes as those contained in the documentation governing the Indebtedness being Refinanced; and

(D) if the Indebtedness to be Refinanced was the obligation of Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness shall not be incurred by any Restricted Subsidiaries other than a Subsidiary Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary that was an obligor under the Indebtedness so Refinanced;

(11) additional Indebtedness of Parent and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $100.0 million and (ii) 4.0% of Parent’s Consolidated Total Assets at any one time outstanding (which may, but need not, be incurred under a Credit Facility), including any Refinancing thereof;

(25) (i) Indebtedness of any Person outstanding on the date on which such Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Issuer (including pursuant to the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or is merged into or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount, together with all Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness under this clause (25), not to exceed at any one time outstanding the greater of (x) $150.0 million and (y) 6.0% of Parent’s Consolidated Total Assets; provided, that (A) such Indebtedness was not created in connection with, or in anticipation of, such acquisition and (B) the amount of such Indebtedness is not increased thereafter unless solely as a result of capitalization of interest or otherwise incurred under another subsection of this covenant substantially contemporaneously with such merger or consolidation, and (ii) any Indebtedness incurred to refinance the Indebtedness described in the foregoing clause (i), provided that the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being so refinanced plus capitalized interest and any refinancing expenses associated therewith;

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, (A) the outstanding principal amount of any item of Indebtedness shall be counted only once, and any obligation arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar instrument supporting such Indebtedness incurred in compliance with this Section 4.09 shall be disregarded, and (B) if an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (1) through (25) of Section 4.09(b) or is permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) and also meets the criteria of one or more of the categories described in clauses (1) through (25) of Section 4.09(b), the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, divide and classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09 and may from time to time redivide and reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner in which such item could be incurred at the time of such reclassification; provided that Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the date of this Indenture (and any Indebtedness secured by a Lien that Refinances such Indebtedness) shall be deemed to be outstanding under clause (2) of Section 4.09(b).

Accrual of interest or dividends on Preferred Equity Interests, the accretion of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends on Preferred Equity Interests in the form of additional Indebtedness or Preferred Equity Interests of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09. Any increase in the amount of Indebtedness solely by reason of currency fluctuations will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09. A change in GAAP that results in an obligation existing at the time of such change, not previously classified as Indebtedness, becoming Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09.

(c) Unless expressly provided to the contrary, the amount of Indebtedness of any Person at any time in the case of a revolving credit or similar facility shall be the total amount of funds borrowed and then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in calculating the Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio pursuant to clauses (2)(B) and (4) above, Parent shall have the option to treat any existing revolving facility as fully drawn and, if such Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio is satisfied with respect thereto at such time, any subsequent borrowing or other incurrence thereunder, not in excess of the aggregate amount attributable to such revolving facility and included in such calculation, shall not be deemed as an incurrence of additional Indebtedness at such subsequent time, provided that, with respect to any subsequent calculation of the Consolidated Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness, if Parent elects to no longer treat such revolving facility as fully drawn, any future drawing on such revolving credit facility shall be deemed an incurrence of additional Indebtedness. The amount of Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be:

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2) the principal amount thereof, in the case of any other Indebtedness;

(3) in the case of the guarantee by the specified Person of any Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included; and

(4) in the case of Indebtedness of others guaranteed by means of a Lien on any assets of the specified Person, the lesser of

(A) the Fair Market Value of such asset on the date on which Indebtedness is required to be determined pursuant to this Indenture; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness so secured.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, Indebtedness shall be calculated without giving effect to the effects of Topic No. 815 and related interpretations to the extent such effects would otherwise increase or decrease an amount of Indebtedness for any purpose under this Indenture as a result of accounting for any embedded derivatives created by the terms of such Indebtedness.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Parent and/or the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, (1) unsecured Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral or because it is guaranteed by different obligors.

Section 4.10

Asset Sales.

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

(1) Parent (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of in such Asset Sale (such Fair Market Value to be determined by (i) an executive officer of Parent or such Subsidiary if the value is less than $50.0 million or (ii) in all other cases by a resolution of Parent’s Board of Directors (or of a committee appointed thereby for such purposes)); and

(2) At least 75% of the total consideration from such Asset Sale, together with all other Asset Sales since the date of this Indenture (on a cumulative basis) received by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be consists of cash or Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(A) the amount of any Indebtedness or other liabilities, as shown on Parent’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities or liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the related Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is validly released by all creditors against further liability;

(B) the amount of any securities, Notes or other obligations received from such transferee that are within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash actually so received);

(C) the Fair Market Value of any assets (other than securities) received by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business;

(D) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in an Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (i) 2.0% of Parent’s Consolidated Total Assets and (ii) $50.0 million at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value;

(E) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that Parent and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale; and

(F) consideration consisting of long-term Indebtedness of Parent (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the date of this Indenture from Persons who are not Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary which is promptly terminated or cancelled by Parent.

(b) If Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to all or any of the Net Proceeds therefrom to:

(1) (A) to the extent such Net Proceeds is from an Asset Sale of assets that constitute Collateral, (x) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase any First Lien Obligations, provided that in order to so repay or reduce any First Lien Obligations other than the Notes, the Issuer shall equally and ratably repay (or offer to repay) the Notes as provided either, at the Issuer’s option, under Section 3.07 through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a purchase price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Collateral Asset Sale Offer) to all holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, (y) to make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Collateral Asset Sale Offer) to redeem Notes as described in Section 3.07 or purchase Notes through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions; and (B) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of assets that do not constitute Collateral, (w) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such asset, (x) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase First Lien Obligations, (y) to make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer) to redeem Notes as described in Section 3.07 or purchase Notes through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, or (z) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase any Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor (in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that, in connection with any reduction, prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (1), Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (other than obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility to the extent the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with such Asset Sale constituted “borrowing base assets”) to be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so reduced, prepaid, repaid or purchased;

(2) (A) invest all or any part of the Net Proceeds thereof in capital expenditures or the purchase, restoration or reconstruction of assets to be used by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in a Permitted Business, (B) acquire Equity Interests in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person engaged primarily in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the consummation of such acquisition or (C) a combination of (A) and (B); provided further that any assets (including Equity Interests) acquired with the Net Proceeds from a disposition of Collateral are pledged as Collateral to the extent required under the Security Documents; or

(3) to fund obligations of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary under the Partnership Parks Agreements.

Pending the final application of an amount equal to any such Net Proceeds, Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving indebtedness under any Credit Facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

With respect to any Asset Sale of Collateral, the amount of any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that is not applied or invested (or committed pursuant to a written agreement to be applied) as provided in the preceding paragraph within 365 days after the receipt thereof and, in the case of any amount committed to a reinvestment, which are not actually so applied within 180 days following such 365-day period (the “Proceeds Application Period”) in excess of $50.0 million in any fiscal year shall constitute “Collateral Excess Proceeds.” Subject to the limitations with respect to Foreign Dispositions in this Section 4.10, the Issuer shall make an offer (a “Collateral Asset Sale Offer”) no later than 30 days after the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period to all holders of Notes and, if required by the terms of any other First Lien Obligations, to all holders of such other First Lien Obligations, to purchase the maximum principal amount of such Notes and First Lien Obligations, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis, that may be purchased out of such Collateral Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such First Lien Obligations (or, in respect of such other First Lien Obligations, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such First Lien Obligations), in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest (subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if any, to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the agreements governing the First Lien Obligations in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making a Collateral Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period (the “Collateral Advance Offer”) with respect to all or a part of the Net Proceeds (the “Collateral Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture.

If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes or, if applicable, First Lien Obligations, as the case may be, validly tendered pursuant to any Collateral Asset Sale Offer or subject to repayment exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of a Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion), the Issuer shall allocate the Collateral Excess Proceeds among the Notes, First Lien Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC may require) on the basis of the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of tendered Notes, First Lien Obligations; provided that no Notes or First Lien Obligations will be selected and purchased in an unauthorized denomination. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, any other First Lien Obligations, as the case may be, validly tendered or otherwise surrendered or subject to repayment in connection with a Collateral Asset Sale Offer is less than the amount offered in a Collateral Asset Sale Offer (or, in the case of a Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion), the Issuer may use any remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion) (the “Declined Collateral Excess Proceeds”) for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of any Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

With respect to any Asset Sale of assets that do not constitute Collateral, the amount of any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that is not applied or invested (or committed pursuant to a written agreement to be applied) as provided in the third preceding paragraph within the Proceeds Application Period following expiration of the Proceeds Application Period in excess of $50.0 million in any fiscal year shall constitute “Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds” and, together with any Collateral Excess Proceeds, “Excess Proceeds.” Subject to the limitations with respect to Foreign Dispositions in this Section 4.10, the Issuer shall make an offer (a “Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer” and, together with any Collateral Asset Sale Offer, each an “Excess Proceeds Offer”) no later than 30 days after the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period to all holders of Notes and, if required under the terms of other Indebtedness of Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness), to all holders of such other Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum principal amount of such Notes and other Indebtedness, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis, that may be purchased out of such Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such Indebtedness (or, in respect of such other Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebtedness), in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest (subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if any, to, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the agreements governing such other Indebtedness in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making a Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer prior to the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period (the “Non-Collateral Advance Offer”) with respect to all or a part of the Net Proceeds (the “Non-Collateral Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture.

If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or, if applicable, any other Indebtedness, as the case may be, validly tendered pursuant to any Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer or subject to repayment exceeds the amount of such Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of a Non-Collateral Advance Offer, the Non-Collateral Advance Portion), the Issuer shall allocate the Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds among the Notes and other Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC may require) on the basis of the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of tendered Notes and other Indebtedness; provided that no Notes or other Indebtedness will be selected and purchased in an unauthorized denomination. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, any other Indebtedness, as the case may be, validly tendered or otherwise surrendered or subject to repayment in connection with a Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer is less than the amount offered in a Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer (or, in the case of a Non-Collateral Advance Offer, the Non-Collateral Advance Portion), the Issuer may use any remaining Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Non-Collateral Advance Offer, the Non-Collateral Advance Portion) (the “Declined Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds”) for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of a Non-Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Non-Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.10, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) is prohibited or delayed by (A) applicable local law, (B) restricted by applicable organizational or constitutive documents or any agreement or (C) subject to other onerous or administrative impediments from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law, documents or agreements or impediment will not permit repatriation to the United States (Parent hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts (as determined in Parent’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational impediments or other impediment to permit such repatriation), and if within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, applicable organizational impediment or other impediment, such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this covenant and (ii) to the extent that the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition would have an adverse tax consequence (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so Parent, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates and/or equity owners would incur a tax liability, including a taxable dividend, deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or a withholding tax), the Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

The provisions of this Indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Section 4.11

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) Parent will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of Parent’s or their properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (including any Unrestricted Subsidiary) (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; provided that such transaction shall be deemed to be at least as favorable as the terms that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction with an unrelated Person if such transaction is approved by the disinterested members of Parent’s Board of Directors or any duly constituted committee thereof; and

(2) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments in excess of $25.0 million, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Parent.

(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:

(1) the entry into employment agreements and the adoption of compensation or benefit plans for the benefit of, or payment of compensation to, directors, officers, consultants or employees of Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether directly or indirectly and including through any Person owned or controlled by any of such directors, officers or employees) (including, without limitation, salaries, fees, bonuses, reimbursement of expenses, customary indemnities (including under customary insurance policies), equity and incentive arrangements and payments and employee benefit and pension expenses);

(3) transactions between or among Parent and/or any Restricted Subsidiary (or entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries;

(4) Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 4.07 hereof and Permitted Investments (other than pursuant to clauses (3), (4), (10) and (15) of the definition thereof);

(6) payments made or performance under any agreements or arrangements in effect on the date of this Indenture or described or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum and any modifications, extensions or renewals thereof that are no less favorable to Parent or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary in any material respect than such agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

(7) so long as they comply with Section 4.11(a)(1), transactions with customers, clients, lessors, landlords, suppliers, contractors, or purchasers or sellers of good or services that are Affiliates, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture;

(8) issuances or sales of Equity Interests to Affiliates of Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith;

(10) transactions in which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, deliver to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of this Section 4.11;

(11) transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(12) loans or advances to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, but in any event not to exceed $5.0 million in the aggregate outstanding at any one time;

(13) transactions between or among Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person which is an Affiliate solely because a director of such Person is also a director of Parent; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director on any matter involving such other Person;

(14) transactions pursuant to or contemplated by and payments in connection with, and, in each case, in accordance with, the terms of the Partnership Parks Agreements;

(15) [Reserved];

(16) any purchases by Parent’s Affiliates of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries the majority of which Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock is purchased by Persons who are not Parent’s Affiliates; provided that such purchases by Parent’s Affiliates are on the same terms as such purchases by such Persons who are not Parent’s Affiliates; and

(17) (i) investments by Affiliates in securities of Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (and payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Affiliates in connection therewith) so long as the investment is being offered by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary generally to other non-affiliated third party investors on the same or more favorable terms and (ii) payments to Affiliates in respect of securities of Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries contemplated in the foregoing subclause (i) or that were acquired from Persons other than Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, in accordance with the terms of such securities.

Section 4.12

Limitation on Liens.

(a) Parent will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or on any income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless, to the extent that Parent or any Guarantor permits the creation, assumption or other existence of any Lien upon any assets or property not at such time constituting Collateral to secure any First Lien Obligations (other than Note Obligations under the Notes or any Guarantee) or Junior Lien Obligations, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the applicable Guarantor to, concurrently grant a first-priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such assets or property to secure the Note Obligations of the Issuer under the Notes or such Guarantor under its Guarantee, as applicable, on an equal and ratable basis with the other First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations, as the case may be, until such time as such First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligation, as the case may be, are no longer secured by a First Lien.

(b) Any Lien which is granted to secure the Notes or such Guarantee pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes or such Guarantee (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any release of Liens securing the Credit Agreement).

(c) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, and provided such Increased Amount of Indebtedness is permitted (or not prohibited) under Section 4.09, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.

Section 4.13

Corporate Existence.

Subject to Article 4, Article 5, Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 hereof, Parent shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Parent or any such Subsidiary; and

(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of Parent and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of Parent shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.14

Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase (subject to the rights of Holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive payments of interest on the related interest payment date) (in either case, the “Change of Control Payment”), except to the extent the Issuer has previously or concurrently elected to redeem the Notes as set forth in Section 3.07 hereof. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently elected to redeem the Notes as set forth in Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuer will be required to deliver notice electronically or by first class mail a notice to each Holder and the Trustee at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC stating:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days after the date such notice is delivered, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice, except in the case of a conditional Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control as described below (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Notes not tendered will continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is unconditionally withdrawing its election to have such Notes purchased;

(6) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(7) if such notice is sent prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and describing each such condition, and, if applicable, stating that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the notice is mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuer shall determine that the Change of Control will not occur by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and

(8) any other information the Issuer determines is material to such Holder’s decision to tender Notes.

The Issuer is required to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes required in the event of a Change of Control and will not be deemed to have violated this Section 4.14 as a result of such compliance. The Issuer may rely on any no-action letters issued by the SEC indicating that the Staff of the SEC will not recommend enforcement actions in the event a tender offer satisfies certain conditions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or in the Notes, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer, (ii) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to this Indenture as set forth in Section 3.07 hereof or (iii) the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture are defeased as set forth in Article 11 hereof on or promptly following the Change of Control. The Issuer’s obligations in respect of a Change of Control Offer can be waived or modified with the consent of Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding at any time.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control.

(d) If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid on the relevant interest payment date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.

Section 4.15

Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

(a) If any of Parent’s Domestic Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) guarantees or becomes otherwise obligated with respect to any Indebtedness for borrowed money under any Credit Facility of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in aggregate principal amount in excess of $50.0 million (other than any Indebtedness incurred under Section 4.09(b)(3), (4)(y), (6), (12) (to the extent guaranteeing Indebtedness incurred under any clause referenced in this parenthetical), (15), (18), (21), (24), (25) and (10) (to the extent incurred pursuant to any of the preceding clauses) hereof, then in each case such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee within 60 days thereafter a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth herein. Thereafter, such Domestic Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture. The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit F hereto.

(b) Each Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 4.16

Suspension of Covenants

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture or of the Notes to the contrary, during any period of time after the date of this Indenture that (a) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by two of the Rating Agencies (“Investment Grade Status”) and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.17 and 5.01(a)(4) of this Indenture will be suspended and no Default or Event of Default shall result from any failure to comply with any of the provisions of such Sections (the “Suspended Covenants”).

Additionally, at such time as the above referenced covenants are suspended (a “Suspension Period”), Parent will no longer be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b) In the event that Parent and its 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”) the Notes cease to have Investment Grade Status, then Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events unless and until the Notes subsequently attain Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain Investment Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence).

(c) On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to be Existing Indebtedness. On each Reversion Date, all calculations made of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 will be made as though Section 4.07 had been in effect prior to, but not during, any Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a). For purposes of Section 4.10, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized amount of Net Proceeds will be reset to zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither (1) the continued existence, after the Reversion Date, of facts and circumstances or obligations that were incurred or otherwise came into existence during a Suspension Period nor (2) the performance of any such obligations, shall constitute a breach of any covenant set forth herein or cause a Default or Event of Default thereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, (i) Parent shall not be required to create, or to cause its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries to create, a security interest in the Capital Stock of any Excluded Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary, which shall be subject to the preceding clause (e)), (ii) the Partnership Parks Entities and their Property subject to the Partnership Parks Agreements, and the Capital Stock of GP Holdings, Inc. owned by Parent shall be expressly excluded from, and shall not be subject to, any provisions of this Section 4.17 so long as the creation of a security interest under, or the execution of, the Security Agreement is prohibited by a contractual obligation binding on the Partnership Parks Entities as in effect on the date hereof (subject to the proviso at the end of this clause (ii)) or, with respect to the Capital Stock of GP Holdings, Inc. owned by Parent, is prohibited by the Partnership Parks Agreements as in effect on the date hereof (subject to the proviso at the end of this clause (ii)); provided that Parent and its Subsidiaries may enter into amendments, restatements, supplements or other modifications to the Partnership Parks Agreements and replacement agreements having a substantially similar purpose to the Partnership Parks Agreements so long as, in each case, there is no adverse effect on the Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents in the assets of (x) Parent (other than with respect to the Capital Stock of GP Holdings, Inc.) and (y) Six Flags Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Issuer or any of their Subsidiaries and (iii) only to the extent determined by the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and so long as no Lien is granted in favor of the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement, if the cost of obtaining a Lien is excessive in relation to the benefit to the Notes Secured Parties of the security afforded thereby, a security interest or title insurance or similar item with respect to those assets shall not be required.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, opinions of counsel will not be required after the date of this Indenture in connection with any additional Guarantors entering into the Security Documents or to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in after-acquired collateral owned by such Guarantors, unless requested by the Notes Collateral Agent.

(5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) other than Indebtedness owed to Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, which default is caused by a failure to pay the principal of such Indebtedness at the final stated maturity thereof within the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”), and the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default, aggregates $35.0 million or more;

(6) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by Parent and any Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Parent and any Restricted Subsidiary) other than Indebtedness owed to Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity not rescinded or cured within 30 days after such acceleration, and the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated and remains undischarged after such 30-day period, aggregates $35.0 million or more;

(7) failure by Parent and any Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments (other than any judgment as to which a reputable insurance company has accepted full liability) aggregating $35.0 million or more (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not stayed, discharged or waived within 60 days after their entry;

(8) Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary case,

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(9) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(A) is for relief against Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(B) appoints a custodian for all or substantially all of the property of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary; or

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

(10) except as permitted by this Indenture, the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary shall be held in a judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Subsidiary Guarantor that qualifies as a Significant Subsidiary, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor that qualifies as a Significant Subsidiary, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee in writing and such Default continues for 10 days; and

(11) any Security Document, after delivery thereof pursuant to this Indenture shall, for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a valid and perfected lien, or any of Parent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall so assert, with the priority required by the Security Documents (or other security purported to be created on the applicable Collateral) on and security interest in any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby, subject to Permitted Liens, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Notes Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Notes Documents or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements or take other required actions.

(b) (i) If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and (ii) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 hereof or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.

(c) Any failure to perform, or breach of, Section 4.03 hereof shall not be a Default or an Event of Default until the 121^stday after the Issuer has received the notice referred to in clause (4) of Section 6.01(a) (at which point, unless cured or waived, such failure to perform or breach shall constitute an Event of Default).

Section 6.02

Acceleration.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” and the same shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from the events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer described in clauses (8) and (9) of Section 6.01(a) above, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holder of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture,

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount then outstanding of the Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or principal of, the Notes.

Section 6.03

Other Remedies.

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04

Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05

Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in such Holders’ interest. However, the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, that the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes, or that may involve the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, in personal liability.

Section 6.06

Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(e) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

Section 6.07

Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08

Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (a)(2) hereof occurs and is continuing, without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding related thereto, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including without limitation any amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof), its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09

Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder, by their acceptance of the Notes, to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10

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

Third:  to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

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

Section 6.11

Undertaking for Costs.

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

Article 7
TRUSTEE¹

Section 7.01

Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

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

(1) the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

Note to Draft: Should “Collateral Agent” be reflected throughout? Trustee to confirm.

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

(1) this Section 7.01(c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section 7.01;

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

(e) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

(f) The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 7.02

Rights of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

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

(d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer.

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

(g) Except with respect to Section 4.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of Parent or the Issuer, as applicable, with respect to the covenants contained in Article 4 hereof. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default.

Section 7.03

Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA; provided, however, that the foregoing does not imply (and shall not be interpreted to mean) that this Indenture is or will be qualified under the TIA in the future.) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 hereof.

Section 7.04

Trustee’s Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05

Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee’s receipt of notice of the occurrence of the Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06

[Reserved].

Section 7.07

Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation as is agreed to from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except for any disbursements, advances or expenses as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer will not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer will pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

(d) To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clauses (8) and (9) of Section 6.01(a) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08

Replacement of Trustee.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

(b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to the Issuer and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

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

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

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

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

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09

Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10

Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

If this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA, this Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §310(a)(1), (2) and (5) and such Trustee will be subject to TIA §310(b); provided, however, that the foregoing does not imply (and shall not be interpreted to mean) that this Indenture is or will be qualified under the TIA in the future.

Section 7.11

Security Documents.

By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders are deemed to have hereby authorized and directed the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any other Security Document in which the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, and any Security Documents executed on or after the date of this Indenture. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are not responsible to the Holders for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under any Security Documents, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections expressly granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be expressly granted to it under the terms of such other Security Documents).

Section 7.12

Limitation on Duty of Trustee in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith.

(b) The Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral (except with respect to certificates delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent representing securities pledged under the Security Documents). The Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any representative for the Credit Agreement Secured Parties.

Article 8
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01

Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof be applied with respect to the outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02

Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due, or on the redemption date, as the case may be from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, immunities and indemnities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(d) this Article 8 with respect to provisions relating to Legal Defeasance.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03

Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 hereof and clause (4) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(a)(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (10) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04

Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(a) The Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. government obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable optional redemption date, as the case may be;

(b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

(1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or law;

(2) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance, and will be subject to federal income tax in the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, subject to customary assumptions and exceptions, reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from a failure to comply with Section 4.09 as a result of the borrowing of the funds required to effect such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

(f) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by them with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes over any of the Issuer’s other creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any of their other creditors or others; and

(g) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance relating to the Notes have been complied with.

Section 8.05

Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

100

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06

Repayment to the Issuer.

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

Section 8.07

Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture (other than with respect to the perfection of security interests in Collateral held by such Guarantor, to the extent requested by the Notes Collateral Agent) upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit F hereto and delivery of an Officers’ Certificate.

Section 9.02

With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.07 (regarding when notice of redemption is to be provided), 3.09, 4.10 and 4.14 hereof) and the Notes, the Guarantees and Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a Payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Note held by a nonconsenting Holder):

103

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

(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption (except with respect to when notice of redemption is to be provided to the Trustee or the Holders) of the Notes (except those provisions relating to Sections 4.10 and 4.14);

(d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and a waiver of the Payment Default that resulted from such acceleration);

(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to institute suits for payments of principal of or interest on the Notes on or after the due dates therefor;

(g) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 4.10 and 4.14);

(h) release all or substantially all of the Guarantees of the Guarantors other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(i) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the holders of at least 66²/₃% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may (A) make any change in any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral, in each case, with the effect of releasing the Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral which secure the Note Obligations or (B) change or alter the priority of the Liens securing the Note Obligations in any material portion of the Collateral in any way materially adverse, taken as a whole, to the Holders, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Upon the request of the Issuer and upon the filing with the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and/or Notes Collateral Agent will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or Security Documents authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, unless such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements directly affects the Trustee’s or Notes Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture and the Security Documents or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements.

104

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will mail to the Holders of the Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder consent is required for the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to enter into, or to effect any amendment, modification or supplement to any Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreement or arrangement permitted under this Indenture pertaining to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred and secured by the Collateral under the terms of this Indenture, to the extent such amendment, supplement or changes to the applicable intercreditor agreement are, in the good faith determination of the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, required in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness and are not adverse, in any material respect (taken as a whole) to the interests of the Holders of the Notes; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Trustee or Notes Collateral under this Indenture without the prior written consent of the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Section 9.03

Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

If this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect; provided, however, that the foregoing does not imply (and shall not be interpreted to mean) that this Indenture is or will be qualified under the TIA in the future.

Section 9.04

Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

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

Section 9.05

Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

105

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

Section 9.06

Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent will sign any amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements authorized pursuant to this authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

Article 10
GUARANTEES

Section 10.01

Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

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

(b) Other than as provided for in Article 8 and Article 10 hereof, the Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except pursuant to Article 8 or Article 10 or by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

106

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

Section 10.02

Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03

Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture, or a supplement hereto, will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers (or, if an Officer is not available, by a board member or director) by manual or facsimile signature.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

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

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

In the event that Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.15 hereof, Parent will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

107

Section 10.04

Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor other than any Subsidiary Guarantor whose Guarantee is to be released in accordance with the terms of this Indenture will not consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving entity) any Person other than Parent or the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor concurrently with the transaction (in each case, other than in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof) unless:

(1) the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) is a corporation, limited partnership, limited liability company or other entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia or the laws of Canada or any province thereof;

(2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental indenture, under the Notes and this Indenture and assumes all obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Security Documents pursuant to such amendments, supplements or other instruments required to be filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Lien on the Collateral owned by each such entity;

(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;

(4) to the extent any assets or property of such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) are property or assets of the type that would constitute Collateral, such surviving entity will take such action as may be reasonably necessary or required to cause such property and assets to be made subject to a Lien securing the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in the manner and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected, preserved and protected to the extent required by this Indenture, the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement;

(5) the Collateral owned by the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) shall (a) continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents, (b) be subject to the Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and (c) not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted under the covenant described above under Section 4.12 hereof; and

(6) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than Parent or the Issuer, as applicable) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made shall become a party to the Intercreditor Agreements, to the extent then in effect, by joinder or supplement.

Section 10.05

Releases.

The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be deemed automatically discharged and released:

108

(1) as to Subsidiary Guarantors, in connection with any direct or indirect sale, conveyance or other disposition of the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation) following which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a direct or indirect Restricted Subsidiary of Parent if such sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 4.10 and either Section 10.04 or Section 5.01 or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (including by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation) to any Person other than to Parent, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Parent;

(2) as to Subsidiary Guarantors, if such Subsidiary Guarantor is dissolved or liquidated in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(5) upon Legal Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof, as applicable;

(6) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary which after the date of this Indenture is required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 4.15, the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of all Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the repayment of all the Indebtedness which resulted in an obligation to guarantee the Notes;

109

Article 11

Satisfaction and Discharge

Section 11.01

Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder when:

(a) either:

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

(2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or, within one year will become due and payable or subject to redemption as set forth in Section 3.07 hereof and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable written instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(b) the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Issuer; and

(c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and exceptions) stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; provided, however, that such counsel may rely, as to matters of fact, on a certificate or certificates of officers of the Issuer.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02

Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

110

Article 12
COLLATERAL

Section 12.01

Security Documents.

The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes and performance of all other Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Holders, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, and the Security Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents (upon the entry into such documents), which define the terms of the Liens that secure Notes Obligations, subject to the terms of the Security Documents. The Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent and pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral), each as may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents prior to, on or following the date of this Indenture, and the Security Documents at any time after the date of this Indenture, if applicable, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. On or following the date of this Indenture and subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents) that may be required under applicable law and that the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, maintain, protect and perfect (or continue the perfection of) the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral, all at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors; provided that for so long as there are outstanding any Credit Agreement Obligations, no actions shall be required to be taken with respect to the perfection of the security interests in the Collateral to the extent such actions are not required to be taken with respect to the Credit Agreement. The Collateral will also secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under or in connection with the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the Specified Hedge Agreements and Specified Cash Management Agreements (as each such term is defined in (or substantively equivalent terms are defined in) the Credit Agreement) (or, once the Credit Agreement ceases to exist, any Credit Facility), provided that an authorized representative of the holders of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or the Credit Facility shall have executed (or otherwise be subject to) the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or a joinder thereto (to the extent required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or, if the Credit Agreement ceases to exist, the Credit Facility). The proceeds of any collection, sale, disposition or other realization of Collateral received in connection with the exercise of remedies (including distributions of cash, securities or other property on account of the value of the Collateral in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings) will be applied in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and all rights and obligations of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder are expressly subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Trustee hereunder is subject to the limitation and provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Without limiting any of the rights and protections (including indemnities) of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Indenture, the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees that the Liens on the Collateral are subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and that the Holders shall comply with the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement applicable to them in their capacities as such to the same extent as if the Holders were parties thereto.

111

Section 12.02

Release of Collateral.

(a) The Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Collateral will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under the Indenture or any other Note Obligations under the Note Documents, and the right of the holders of Notes to the benefits and proceeds of the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens on the Collateral will automatically terminate and be discharged:

(1) as to any Collateral of the Issuer or a Guarantor that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or any Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) Parent, the Issuer or a Guarantor in a transaction or other circumstance that complies with the provisions described in Section 4.10 hereof (other than the obligation to apply proceeds of such Asset Sale as provided in such provision) and is permitted (or not prohibited) by the Note Documents, at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition or to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of;

(2) if and to the extent any Collateral becomes an Excluded Asset;

(3) if and to the extent required by the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement;

(4) as to the Collateral of any Guarantor, if and to the extent any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary;

(5) as ordered pursuant to applicable law under a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction

(6) in whole or in part, with the consent of the holders of the requisite percentage of Notes in accordance with the provisions described in Article 9;

(7) upon payment in full in cash and discharge of all Notes outstanding under the Indenture and all other Note Obligations that are outstanding, due and payable under the Indenture and the other Note Documents at the time the Notes are paid in full in cash and discharged (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been made);

(8) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under this Indenture as described under Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof or a discharge of this Indenture as described under Section 11.01; and

(9) with respect to the assets of any Guarantor, at the time that such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee of the Notes as described above under Section 10.05.

(b) In each case described in the foregoing, the Notes Collateral Agent will, at the Issuer’s expense, execute and deliver to the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor such documents as the Issuer or such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and applicable Security Document.

112

Section 12.03

Suits to Protect Collateral.

Subject to the provisions of Article 7 and the Security Documents, the Trustee may or may direct the Notes Collateral Agent to take all actions it determines in order to:

(a) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and

(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents (including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement), the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

Section 12.04

Purchaser Protected.

In no event shall any purchaser or other transferee in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the applicable 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 12 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

113

Section 12.07

Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints, by their acceptance of the Notes, the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture and the Security Documents and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.07. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders by their acceptance of the Notes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents, to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Security Documents, or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

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

(c) The Notes 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, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture or the Security Documents 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 as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture or the Security Documents 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 and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

114

(d) [Reserved]

(e) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.07) and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(f) The Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction, at the Issuer’s expense, to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.07 (and Section 7.07 hereof) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(g) U.S. Bank National Association shall initially act as Notes Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Notes Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents, neither the Notes 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 Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the date of this Indenture, (ii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents, (iii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents, and (iv) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents.

115

(i) If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Notes Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Notes Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Notes Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

(j) The Notes 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 Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(k) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.

(l) If the Issuer or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate so stating and requesting the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the applicable First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the Notes Collateral Agent and Trustee, if applicable, shall (and deemed to have been authorized and directed by the Holders to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

116

(m) No provision of this Indenture or any Security Document shall require the Notes 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 Notes Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Security Documents, in the event the Notes Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the Mortgages or take any such other action if the Notes Collateral Agent has determined that the Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause (m) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

(n) The Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(o) Neither the Notes 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 Notes 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.

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

117

(q) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge by their acceptance of the Notes that neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall 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 Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge by their acceptance of the Notes that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.

(r) Upon the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of a written request of the Issuer signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document or amendment or supplement thereto to be executed after the date of this Indenture, for the purpose of causing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to the terms of the Indenture to be subject thereto, in each case as contemplated by the terms of such Security Document, as applicable; provided that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute or enter into any such Security Document which, in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion is reasonably likely to adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Notes Collateral Agent or that the Notes Collateral Agent determines is reasonably likely to involve the Notes Collateral Agent in personal liability. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.07(r), and (ii) instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document. Other than as set forth in this Indenture, any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents (subject to the first sentence of this Section 12.07(r)).

(s) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture or the Security 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 Trustee, as applicable. Each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, authorizes and directs the Trustee to execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in its capacity as Authorized Representative (as defined therein) and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof and any other intercreditor or subordination agreement.

(t) After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement.

118

(u) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and to the extent not prohibited under any Intercreditor 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 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture.

(v) In each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document or under any Intercreditor Agreement (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or in the case of a release of Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02. If the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(w) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document, in no event shall the Notes 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 Security Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(x) Before the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Guarantors, other than as set forth in this Indenture, it may require an Officers’ Certificate, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 12.07 and Section 13.02 hereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate.

(y) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Notes Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral, except as otherwise set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements.

(z) The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Notes Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity as set forth in Section 7.07, as if references therein to Trustee were references to Notes Collateral Agent.

[FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS]

Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of ________________, between __________________ (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”) [and collateral agent (the “Notes Collateral Agent”)].

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Six Flags Theme Parks Inc. (the “Issuer”) has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of April 22, 2020 providing for the issuance of 7.000 Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 10 thereof.

3. No Recourse Against Others. No director, owner, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary or its Affiliates, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary or its Affiliates under the Note, this Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantees or Indenture for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

4. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

6. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

7. The Trustee. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above written.
