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.

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 Partnership.

Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.

While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers 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 the Issuers or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If an Issuer or a 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 Issuers, 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 Issuers 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.

(3) Regulation S Temporary Global Note Legend. The Regulation S Temporary Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE, AND THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE FOR DEFINITIVE NOTES, ARE AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE (AS DEFINED HEREIN). NEITHER THE HOLDER NOR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OF INTEREST HEREON.”

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

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

(2) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10,
4.15 and 9.05 hereof).

(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

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

(5) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuers will be required:

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an offer to purchase

and ending at the close of business on the day such notice of redemption is mailed;

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part;

(C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date; or

(D) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note tendered and not withdrawn in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer.

(6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuers shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(7) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or electronically including by PDF.

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

(j) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal

amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, if the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Trustee and in the judgment of the Issuers to protect the Issuers, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge for expenses in replacing a Note.

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

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Partnership in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

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 Issuers or an Affiliate of either of the Issuers holds the Note.

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 either Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or 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 Issuers or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with either 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 Issuers 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 Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the

Issuers 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 Issuers 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) in accordance with its customary procedures. The Trustee shall provide the Partnership a list of all Notes that have been cancelled from time to time as requested by the Partnership upon its written request and to the extent available under the Trustee’s customary procedures. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers given at least three Business Days prior to the date on which notice must be sent to Holders, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) will deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers and ISIN Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers and ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders, provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and any such repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Partnership will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. Any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Initial Notes or other Additional Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be issued with a separate CUSIP or ISIN number.

ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, they must furnish to the Trustee, at

least 15 days prior to the date that a notice of redemption is delivered to Holders (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

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

(2) the redemption date;

(3) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

(4) the redemption price (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 at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot, except that any Notes represented by a Note in global form pursuant to Article 2 hereof will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuers 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 integral 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 15 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuers will send electronically, mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or as otherwise provided in accordance with the procedures of DTC, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be given 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 12 hereof.

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

(1) the redemption date;

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

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the

unredeemed portion will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

(6) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date, subject to any condition precedent set forth in the notice;

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

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

(9) any conditions precedent to which the redemption or notice is subject; and

(10) any applicable CUSIP or ISIN number.

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ names and at the Issuers’ expense; provided, however, that the Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof requests that the Trustee give such notice and is accompanied by a copy of the notice of redemption that sets 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 delivered in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price, unless the redemption is subject to a condition precedent that is not satisfied or waived.

Notice of any redemption of the Notes (including upon an Equity Offering) may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be given prior to a transaction or event and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of the related transaction or event, as the case may be. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ 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, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuers’ discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuers any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In

addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

The notice of redemption, if sent or mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (or such later time as may be agreed to by the Paying Agent or Trustee) on any redemption or purchase date, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers 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. In addition, any investment income, if any, earned on funds held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Partnership.

If the Issuers comply 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 Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. No Note in denominations of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption. (a) At any time prior to June 15, 2019, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes), upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice (except that redemption notices may be given 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), at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the

relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), with an amount not exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Partnership and its Subsidiaries); and

(2) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of each such Equity Offering.

(b) Prior to June 15, 2019, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem all or part of the Notes, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice (except that redemption notices may be given 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), at a redemption price equal to the sum of

(1) the principal amount thereof, plus

(2) the Make Whole Premium at the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

(c) Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Partnership’s option prior to June 15, 2019.

(d) On and after June 15, 2019, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice (except that redemption notices may be given 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), at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:



Year	Percentage
2019	104.625%
2020	102.313%
2021 and thereafter	100.000%

Unless the Partnership defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

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

Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption. The Partnership is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09. Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Partnership is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below.

The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of Pari Passu Debt 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 Asset Sale 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 five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Partnership will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt (on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt surrendered, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale 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, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, 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 Asset Sale Offer.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Partnership will send electronically, or mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail or as otherwise provided in accordance with the procedures of DTC, 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 Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

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

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Partnership defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date;

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

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale 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 Partnership, a Depositary, if appointed by the Partnership, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Partnership, 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;

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Debt surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount allocated to the purchase of Notes in the Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee will select the Notes and the trustee or agent for such other Pari Passu Debt will select the Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a Global Note shall be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require, or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) based on the principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Partnership so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and

(9) 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 Partnership will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, and required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof, or if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than the Offer

Amount allocated to the purchase of Notes in the Asset Sale Offer have been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Partnership in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Partnership, 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 Partnership for purchase, and the Issuers will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuers, 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, provided that such Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Partnership to the Holder thereof. The Partnership will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after 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.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary of the Partnership, holds as of 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date money deposited by the Issuers in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. (a) The Issuers will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers fail to maintain any such required office or agency or fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

(b) The Issuers may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuers of the obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the

Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c) The Partnership hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Partnership in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof: provided that, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall not be an office or agency of the Partnership for purposes of service of legal process on the Partnership.

Section 4.03. Reports. (a) So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Partnership will furnish to the Holders of the Notes (or file or furnish, as applicable, with the SEC for public availability) within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations applicable to a non-accelerated filer (including any extensions permitted by Rule 12b-25 thereof), whether or not required to file reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act:

(1) all quarterly and annual financial and other information with respect to the Partnership and its Subsidiaries that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Partnership were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Partnership’s certified independent accountants; provided, however, such reports shall not be required to comply with Sections 302, 906 and 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act or related items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K; and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Partnership were required to file such reports.

(c) If the Partnership has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then, to the extent material, the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03(a) hereof will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements, in the footnotes thereto, or in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the

financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Partnership.

(d) If, at any time, the Partnership is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Partnership will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.03 with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. The Partnership will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings.

(e) The Partnership and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any Notes are not freely tradeable under the Securities Act, if at any time they or a parent company are not required to file with the SEC or furnish to Holders of Notes and Beneficial Owners of Notes the reports required by Section 4.03(a), the Issuers and the Guarantors will furnish to the Holders of Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(f) Reports by the Partnership or Guarantors delivered to the Trustee should be considered for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Partnership’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any direct or indirect parent of the Partnership provides a Note Guarantee, if such parent of the Partnership files reports with the Commission in accordance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, whether voluntarily or otherwise, furnishes such reports to Holders and Beneficial Owners of Notes or posts such reports on its website, in compliance with the time periods specified in Section 4.03(a), then the Partnership shall be deemed to comply in full with this Section 4.03.

(h) The Trustee will have no responsibility to determine whether the posting of such reports has occurred.

(i) Any failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.03 shall be automatically cured when the Partnership, provides all required reports to the Holders and Beneficial Owners of Notes or files all required reports with the SEC.

For the avoidance of doubt, the availability of the foregoing reports on the Commission’s XXXXX filing system will be deemed to satisfy the foregoing delivery requirements.

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, within 30 days of any Officer of either Issuer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what actions the Issuers are taking or propose to take in respect thereof, but only to the extent that such Default or Event of Default has not been cured by the end of such 30 day period.

Section 4.05. Taxes. The Partnership will pay or discharge, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment or discharge is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Each of the Issuers 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 each of the Issuers 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 4.07. Restricted Payments. (a) The Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07, (i) in the event that a Restricted Payment (or payment or other transaction that, except for being a Permitted Investment, would constitute a Restricted Payment) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in the preceding clauses (1) through (14) of Section 4.07(b) hereof, or is permitted pursuant to Section 4.07(a) hereof or is a Permitted Investment, the Partnership will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment or other such transaction (or portion thereof) on the date made or later reclassify such Restricted Payment or other such transaction (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.07; and (ii) in the event a Restricted Payment is made pursuant to Section 4.07(a), the Partnership will be permitted to classify whether all or any portion thereof is being (and in the absence of such classification shall be deemed to have classified the minimum amount possible as having been) made with Incremental Funds. For purposes of this Indenture, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of an Issuer or a Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

Section 4.08. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) make loans or advances to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The restrictions in Section 4.08(a) hereof will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) agreements as in effect on the date of this Indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements or the Indebtedness to which they relate; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of this Indenture, as determined in good faith by the Partnership;

(2) this Indenture, the Notes (and any Additional Notes), the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the ABL Documents;

(3) applicable law, rule, regulation, order, approval, license, permit or similar restriction;

(4) agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions therein are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

(5) any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock or any other agreement of a Person acquired by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred or such agreement entered into in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred; and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of any such instrument or agreement or any related Indebtedness, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution and other payment restrictions than those contained in this Indenture or those agreements in effect at the time acquired, as determined in good faith by the Partnership;

(6) customary provisions in purchase and sale or exchange agreements, joint venture agreements or similar operating agreements or in licenses, easements or leases or other agreements, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(7) Capital Lease Obligations, operating leases, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 4.08(a) hereof;

(8) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of some or all of the Capital Stock of, or any property and assets of, a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(9) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced, as determined in good faith by the Partnership;

(10) Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(11) any agreement or instrument relating to any property or assets acquired after the date of this Indenture, so long as such encumbrance or restriction was in effect as of the date of the acquisition and relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisitions;

(12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(13) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof in any manner material to the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof, as determined in good faith by the Partnership;

(14) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements, shareholders’ agreements, partnership agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment) entered into with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Partnership or in the ordinary course of business, which limitation is applicable only to the assets or property that is the subject of such agreements;

(15) provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary, or restrictions in licenses (including licenses of intellectual property) relating to the property covered thereby, or other encumbrances or restrictions in agreements or instruments relating to specific assets or property that restrict generally the transfers of such assets or property; provided that such encumbrances or restrictions do not materially affect the ability of the Partnership to make principal or interest payments on the Notes when due as required by the terms of this Indenture, as determined in good faith by the Partnership;

(16) any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was incurred if either (a) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in such Indebtedness or agreement or (b) any such encumbrance or restriction does not materially affect the Partnership’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes when due as required by the terms of this Indenture, as determined in good faith by the Partnership; and

(17) any Permitted Investment under clauses (6), (8) and (10) of the definition thereof.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, (1) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (2) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership to other Indebtedness incurred by the Partnership or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. (a) The Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries 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), the Partnership will not issue any Disqualified Stock, and the Partnership will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Guarantor) to issue any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Partnership and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary may issue Preferred Stock, if, for the Partnership’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would have been at least 2.00 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 Disqualified

Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”) or the issuance of any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described below:

(1) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (including guarantees and letters of credit) under one or more Credit Facilities, provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries thereunder) and then outstanding at any one time does not exceed the greater of (a) $100.0 million and (b) 7.5% of the Partnership’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined on the date of such incurrence;

(2) the incurrence by the Issuers and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Initial Notes and the related Note Guarantees;

(3) the incurrence by the Partnership or its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.09(b);

(4) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (including Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, Attributable Debt, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations) or the issuance by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Disqualified Stock or the issuance by any Restricted Subsidiary of Preferred Stock, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation, repair or improvement of property (real or personal), plant or equipment or other assets used in the business of the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary (whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), provided that after giving effect to any such incurrence, the principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $20.0 million and (b) 1.5% of the Partnership’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined at the time of such incurrence;

(5) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to, extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred (or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock permitted to be issued) under Section 4.09(a) hereof or clauses (2), (3) (other than

with respect to Existing Indebtedness refinanced with the Notes issued on the Issue Date), (4), (12), (13), (18) or (23) of this Section 4.09(b) or this subclause 4.09(b)(5);

(6) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Partnership and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(A) if the Partnership is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, or if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and neither the Partnership nor another Guarantor is the obligee, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Partnership nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this subclause 4.09(b)(6);

(7) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under Hedging Contracts in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;

(8) the guarantee by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to the Notes, then the guarantee must be subordinated to the same extent as the Indebtedness being guaranteed;

(9) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations relating to net Hydrocarbon balancing positions arising in the ordinary course of business;

(10) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of bid, performance, surety and similar bonds issued for the account of the Partnership and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees and obligations of the Partnership or any of

its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to letters of credit supporting such obligations (in each case other than an obligation for money borrowed);

(11) the issuance by any of the Partnership’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Partnership or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that:

(A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership; and

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this subclause 4.09(b)(11);

(12) Acquired Debt incurred by the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that, after giving effect to the related merger or acquisition transaction, on a pro forma basis, either (a) the Partnership would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof or (b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Partnership would be equal to or greater than immediately prior to such transactions;

(13) the incurrence by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness, provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subclause (5) of this Section 4.09(b) hereof to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred under this clause (13), does not exceed the greater of $60.0 million and 4.5% of the Partnership’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets;

(14) Indebtedness incurred by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of the General Partner to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are promptly deposited to defease or to satisfy and discharge the Notes in accordance with this Indenture;

(16) Indebtedness in respect of any bankers’ acceptance, bank guarantees, letter of credit, warehouse receipt or similar facilities, and reinvestment obligations related thereto, entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(17) Guarantees (a) incurred in the ordinary course of business in respect of obligations of (or to) suppliers, customers, franchisees, lessors and licensees that, in each case, are non-Affiliates or (b) otherwise constituting Investments not prohibited hereunder;

(18) Indebtedness issued by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to any current, future or former director, officer, consultant or employee of the Partnership, the General Partner, any direct or indirect parent of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership, or their estates or the beneficiaries of such estates to finance the purchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests permitted by Section 4.07(b)(5) hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to subclause (5) of this Section 4.09(b) hereof to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred under this clause (18), not to exceed $5.0 million as of any date of incurrence;

(19) Indebtedness incurred in connection with any Sale and Leaseback Transaction not relating to the Principal Properties and any refinancing, refunding, renewal or extension of any such Indebtedness, provided that, except to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness is not increased above the principal amount thereof outstanding immediately prior to such refinancing, refunding, renewal or extension and the direct and contingent obligors with respect to such Indebtedness are not changed;

(20) Indebtedness in respect of overdraft facilities, employee credit card programs and other cash management arrangements in the ordinary course of business;

(22) cash management obligations and other Indebtedness in respect of netting services, automatic clearinghouse arrangements, overdraft protections and similar arrangements in each case in connection with deposit accounts; and

(23) Contribution Indebtedness.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (23) of Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Partnership will be permitted to divide and classify (or later divide, classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09 (including in part pursuant to one or more clauses and/or in part pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof). Any

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement on the date hereof shall be considered incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1) hereof and may not be later reclassified.

(c) The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09, provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Partnership as accrued. Further, the accounting reclassification of any obligation of the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness will not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09.

(d) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness, any Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit, in each case, supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount, will not be included. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates 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 respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Section 4.10. Asset Sales. (a) The Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Partnership (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

(2) the fair market value is determined by the Board of Directors of the General Partner if the value is $40.0 million or more and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the General Partner; and

(3) at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets, and, if the Asset Sale is a Sale of Collateral, such Replacement Assets must constitute Collateral. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(a) any liabilities (as shown on the Partnership’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or as would be shown on such balance sheet or footnotes if such liability was incurred

subsequent to the date of such balance sheet), of the Partnership or such Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases the Partnership or such Subsidiary from further liability, or that are otherwise released or assumed;

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

(c) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this subclause 4.10(a)(3)(c) that is at the time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $30.0 million and (y) 2.5% of the Partnership’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets 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.

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale other than a Sale of Collateral, the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following:

(1) to repay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire any Senior Debt and, if the Indebtedness being repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership;

(3) to acquire any Capital Stock of a Person operating a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such Person operating a Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership;

(4) to make capital expenditures in respect of the Partnership’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Permitted Business or make an Investment in Replacement Assets; or

(5) to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business or make an Investment in assets that will be used or useful in the Partnership’s business.

The requirement of clauses (2) through and including (5) of this Section 4.10(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide binding contract committing to make the acquisition, purchase, Investment or expenditure referred to therein is entered into by the Partnership (or any Restricted Subsidiary) within the time period specified in this Section 4.10(b) and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied in accordance with such contract within 365 days following the date such agreement is entered into. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Partnership may utilize such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that constitutes a Sale of Collateral, the Partnership (or the Restricted Subsidiary that owned those assets, as the case may be) shall apply those Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following:

(1) to repay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire any (i) ABL Debt to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) Pari Passu Debt or (iii) the Notes;

(2) to repay any Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Lien on any Collateral that was sold in such Asset Sale;

(3) to make an Investment in other assets or property that would constitute Collateral;

(4) to acquire all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such properties or assets would constitute Collateral;

(5) to acquire any Capital Stock of a Person operating a Permitted Business if, after giving effect to such acquisition, such Person operating a Permitted Business is or becomes a Guarantor or is merged into or consolidated with the Partnership or another Guarantor and all such Capital Stock would be pledged as Collateral to the extent required under this Indenture;

(6) to make capital expenditures with respect to assets that constitute Collateral or make an Investment in Replacement Assets that constitute Collateral; or

(7) to acquire other long-term assets that constitute Collateral and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

The requirement of clauses (3) through and including (7) of this Section 4.10(c) hereof shall be deemed to be satisfied if a bona fide binding contract committing to make the acquisition, Investment or expenditure referred to therein is entered into by the Partnership (or any Restricted Subsidiary) within the time period specified in the preceding paragraph and such Net Proceeds are subsequently applied in accordance with such contract within 180 days following the date such agreement is entered into. Pending the final application of any

such Net Proceeds, the Partnership may use such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) or Section 4.10(c) hereof will constitute “Excess Proceeds”.

(e) Within 10 business days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million (or, at the Partnership’s option, on any earlier date), the Partnership will make an offer (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Pari Passu Debt 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, to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of notes and such other Pari Passu Debt (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after the consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Trustee or agent for such other Pari Passu Debt shall select such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis or by lot (except that any Notes represented by a note in global form will be selected by such method as DTC or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximates pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) but with such adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or other Pari Passu Debt is purchased in part in an authorized denomination, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, upon the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of one of the Principal Properties (any such transaction, a “Principal Property Sale”), then within 30 days following such Principal Property Sale, the Partnership will make a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in Section 4.15 hereof to all Holders of Notes. In the case of any such Principal Property Offer, the notice sent by the Partnership to each Holder and the Trustee shall describe the transaction or transactions constituting the Principal Property Sale, and the Partnership shall otherwise make such offer in accordance with the requirements for a Change of Control Offer. Upon completion of a Principal Property Offer, the Net Proceeds from such Principal Property Sale will not be required to be applied as set forth in this Section 4.10, and such Net Proceeds will not constitute “Excess Proceeds”.

(g) The requirement to make a Principal Property Offer within 30 days following a Principal Property Sale shall not apply at any time if:

(1) pro forma for such Principal Property Sale, the Partnership owns nitrogen fertilizer plants having aggregate capacity to produce 500,000 or more tons of ammonia per year;

(2) after the date of this Indenture and prior to such Principal Property Sale, a Change of Control has occurred;

(3) a third party makes the Principal Property Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Principal Property Offer made by the Partnership and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Principal Property Offer;

(4) a notice of redemption has been given for all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price; or

(5) in connection with or in contemplation of any Principal Property Sale, the Partnership has made an Alternate Offer for any and all notes validly tendered at the Alternate Offer Price and has purchased all notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer.

If the Partnership is not required to make a Principal Property Offer pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of this Section 4.10(g), then all other provisions of this Section 4.10 shall instead apply.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Principal Property Offer by the Partnership or a third party or an Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Principal Property Sale, subject to one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the consummation of such Principal Property Sale, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Principal Property Sale at the time the Principal Property Offer or Alternate Offer is made. A Principal Property Sale requiring the Partnership to make a Principal Property Offer and not involving any other transaction shall be governed by this Section 4.10 and not Section 5.02 hereof.

(i) The Partnership will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Partnership will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Partnership will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with any Affiliate of the Partnership in an amount in excess of $5.0 million (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Partnership or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person or, if, as determined in good faith by the Partnership, no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to the Partnership or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view;

(2) the Partnership delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant; and

(3) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $40.0 million, the General Partner must obtain a resolution of the Board of Directors of the General Partner certifying that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by either a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the General Partner or the conflicts committee (or other committee serving a similar function) of the Board of Directors of the General Partner (so long as the members of the conflicts committee (or other such committee) approving the Affiliate Transaction are disinterested).

(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) any employment, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or plan, or any consulting, service or termination agreement, or any customary indemnification arrangement or agreement, entered into by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, and any payments or other awards made pursuant to any of the foregoing;

(2) transactions between or among any of the Partnership and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Partnership solely because the Partnership owns, directly or indirectly, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(4) contracts, instruments or other agreements or arrangements, and transactions effected in accordance therewith, in each case as such contracts, instruments or other agreements or arrangements are in effect on the date hereof, and any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements so long as such amendment or replacement agreement is not materially more disadvantageous to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the agreement so amended or replaced as in effect on the date hereof, as determined by the Partnership in good faith;

(5) customary compensation, indemnification and other benefits made available to current, former and future officers, directors or employees of the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary, the General Partner or any direct or indirect parent of the Partnership, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance;

(6) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Partnership and any agreement that provides customary registration rights to the equity holders of the Partnership or any direct or indirect parent of the Partnership and the performance of such agreements;

(8) reimbursement of expenses incurred by the General Partner in operating the business and operations of the Partnership, including without limitation payments to the General Partner and its directors and officers as indemnification payments, in each case in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as in effect on the date hereof and as may be amended, provided that any such amendment is not materially more disadvantageous to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the Partnership Agreement in effect on the date hereof;

(9) in the case of contracts for the purchase or sale of Hydrocarbons or activities or services reasonably related thereto, or other operational contracts, any such contracts that are entered into in the ordinary course of business on terms substantially similar to those contained in similar contracts entered into by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with third parties or otherwise on terms not materially less favorable to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole than those that would be available in a transaction with an unrelated third party in the view of the Partnership;

(10) any guarantee by any direct or indirect parent of the Partnership of Indebtedness or other obligations of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary (which Indebtedness or obligation is not prohibited hereunder);

(11) transactions with Affiliates solely in their capacity as holders of Indebtedness or Equity Interests of the Partnership or any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries, so long as such transaction is with all holders of such class (and there are such non-Affiliate holders) and such Affiliates are treated no more favorably than all other holders of such class generally;

(12) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services in the ordinary course of business on terms not materially less favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Partnership, as determined in good faith by the Partnership;

(13) transactions or agreements in which the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an independent financial advisor stating that such transaction or agreement is fair to the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of Section 4.11(a)(1) hereof;

(14) any contribution to the common equity capital of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(15) any transaction with any Person who is not an Affiliate immediately before the consummation of such transaction that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction;

(16) (a) guarantees by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of performance of obligations of the Partnership’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money, and (b) pledges by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership of (or any guarantee by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary limited in recourse solely to) Equity Interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of lenders or other creditors of the Partnership’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent otherwise permitted by this Indenture;

(17) payments by the Partnership (or any other direct or indirect parent of the Partnership) or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any tax sharing, allocation or similar agreement to the extent otherwise permitted by this Indenture;

(18) transactions permitted by, and complying with, the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof;

(19) transactions (other than purchases or sales of assets) effected in accordance with the terms of (a) the Affiliate Agreements, in each case as such agreements are in effect on the date hereof, (b) any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements or (c) any agreement entered into hereafter that is similar to any such agreements, so long as, in the case of clause (b) or (c), the terms of any such

amendment or replacement agreement or future agreement, taken as a whole, are no less advantageous to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries or no less favorable to the Holders in any material respect than the agreement so amended or replaced or the similar such agreement currently in effect (considered together with all such similar agreements), respectively, as determined in good faith by the Partnership;

(20) Loans or advances permitted pursuant to clause (9) of the definition of Permitted Investments;

(21) transactions between the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that would not otherwise constitute an Affiliate Transaction except for the fact that one director of such other Person is also a director of the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, on any such transaction; and

(22) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs and benefits associated with such transactions), not materially less favorable to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated person, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the General Partner.

Section 4.12. Liens. (a) The Partnership will not, and will not permit Finance Corp. or any of the Guarantors to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness or Attributable Debt upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired.

(b) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness, provided that the aggregate amount of Increased Amounts so secured by Liens securing Indebtedness shall not exceed $25.0 million. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock. Further, the accounting reclassification of any obligation of the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness will not be deemed to result in the creation, incurrence, assumption or effectiveness of a Lien for purposes of this Section 4.12.

Section 4.13. Business Activities. The Partnership will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to such extent as would not be material to the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as determined in good faith by the Partnership.

Section 4.14. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Issuers shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of the Guarantors that are Subsidiaries of the Partnership, in accordance with their respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be required to preserve any such corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of the Partnership shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Partnership and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.15. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Partnership to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Section 4.15. In the Change of Control Offer, the Partnership will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date.

(b) No later than 30 days following any Change of Control (or prior to the Change of Control if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control), the Partnership will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee electronically or by first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes as of the Change of Control Settlement Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by this Section 4.15 and described in such notice.

(c) The Partnership will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Partnership will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

(d) On or before the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Partnership will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly thereafter on the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Partnership will:

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

(2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Partnership.

(e) The Paying Agent will promptly after the Change of Control mail or wire transfer to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and so accepted the Change of Control Payment for such Notes (or, if all the Notes are then in global form, make such payment through the facilities of DTC), and the Trustee will authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, however, that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Any Note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Settlement Date.

(f) The provisions described above that require the Partnership to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

(g) The Partnership will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) 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 Section 4.15 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Partnership and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) a notice of redemption has been given for all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price or (3) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Partnership has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment (the “Alternate Offer Price”) and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, a Change of Control Offer by the Partnership or a third party or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, subject to one or more conditions precedent, including but not limited to the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer is made.

(i) In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer and the Partnership, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer in lieu of the Partnership as described in this Section 4.15, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn, the Partnership or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer described in this Section 4.15) to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the applicable Change of Control Payment or Alternate Offer Price plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment or Alternate Offer Price, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

Section 4.16. Additional Note Guarantees. If, after the date of this Indenture, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership that is not already a Guarantor (other than Finance Corp.) becomes a borrower or guarantor under any Indebtedness of any Issuer or any Guarantor in excess of the De Minimis Guaranteed Amount, then in either case that Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and delivering it to the Trustee within 45 days of the date on which it guaranteed or incurred such Indebtedness, as the case may be. Any guarantee shall be subject to release as described in Article 11. Any Excluded Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor under this Indenture.

Section 4.17. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Partnership may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be either an Investment made as of the time of the designation that will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) hereof or represent one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Partnership. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Subsidiary so designated otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b) The Partnership may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

(c) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Partnership as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Partnership giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09 hereof, the Partnership will be in default of such covenant.

Section 4.18. Covenant Suspension. (a) If at any time (1) the rating assigned to the Notes by both S&P and Xxxxx’x is an Investment Grade Rating (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Partnership, the Notes also receive the equivalent investment grade credit rating from another “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder selected by the Partnership as a replacement agency) and (2) no Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):

•Section 4.07 (“Restricted Payments”);


•	Section 4.08 (“Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries”);


•	Section 4.09 (“Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”);

•Section 4.10 (“Asset Sales”);

•Section 4.11 (“Transactions with Affiliates”);

•Section 4.13 (“Business Activities”);


•	Section 4.17 (“Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries”); and


•	Section 5.01(a)(4) (Clause (4) of paragraph (a) of “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”).

(b) After the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Partnership may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(c) Thereafter, if either S&P or Moody’s (or such other replacement agency) downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes below the Investment Grade Rating, the

Partnership and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants, subject to the terms, conditions and obligations set forth herein (each such date of reinstatement being the “Reinstatement Date”), provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist or have occurred under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the foregoing suspended covenants based on, and neither Issuer nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or Guarantors shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the period the foregoing covenants were suspended (the “Suspension Period”), or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the date the foregoing covenants were reinstated, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable suspended covenants remained in effect during such period.

(d) On the date the foregoing covenants are reinstated, all Indebtedness incurred during the suspension period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the date of this Indenture, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (2) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, and all Liens, Investments and affiliate transactions in existence at such time will be deemed to have been outstanding on the date hereof. Compliance with the Suspended Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reinstatement Date will be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07 hereof as though such covenant had not been in effect during the entire period of time that the covenants were suspended and no Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended.

(e) The Partnership shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, specifying (1) if a Suspended Covenant event has occurred, (2) if a Reinstatement Date has occurred and (3) the dates of the commencement or ending of any Suspension Period. The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor whether or not a Suspended Covenant event or Reinstatement Date has occurred or if a Suspension Period has commenced or ended, nor any duty to notify the Holders of any of the foregoing.

(1) either: (a) such Issuer is the survivor; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that Finance Corp. may not consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than a

corporation satisfying such requirement so long as the Partnership is not a corporation (unless a different Subsidiary of the Partnership which is a corporation becomes a co-issuer of the Notes in lieu of Finance Corp.);

(2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture, and the Security Documents;

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

(4) in the case of a transaction involving the Partnership and not only Finance Corp., either:

(a) the Partnership or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Partnership), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) hereof; or

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions on a pro forma basis as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Partnership or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Partnership), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made, will be equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Partnership immediately before such transactions; and

(5) such Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and such supplemental indenture (if any) and any related joinders or other agreements comply with this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding the restrictions described in Section 5.01(a)(4) hereof, any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Finance Corp.) may consolidate with, merge into or dispose of all or part of its properties and assets to the Partnership without complying with Section 5.01(a)(4) in connection with any such consolidation, merger or disposition.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a) hereof, the Partnership is permitted to reorganize as any other form of entity, provided that:

(1) the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger, sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) of the Partnership into a form of entity other than a limited partnership formed under Delaware law;

(2) the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia;

(3) the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all the obligations of the Partnership under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents pursuant to the terms of the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents;

(4) immediately after such reorganization no Default (other than a Reporting Default) or Event of Default exists; and

(5) such reorganization is not materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Notes (for purposes of this clause (5) a reorganization will not be considered materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Notes solely because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (a) is subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (b) is considered to be an “includible corporation” of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(b) of the Code or any similar state or local law).

Section 5.02. Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Partnership in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Partnership is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Partnership” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Partnership), and may exercise every right and power of the Partnership under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Partnership herein, and thereafter (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets), the Partnership will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes.

ARTICLE 6

(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 the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary), other than, in each case, Indebtedness owing to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date hereof, if that default:

(a) is caused by a failure to make any payment when due at the final maturity of such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $35.0 million or more; provided, however, that if any such Payment Default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such Payment Default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(7) failure by the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary to pay non-appealable final judgments aggregating in excess of $35.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy

(b) except as permitted herein or by the relevant Security Documents, any Lien for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes purported to be granted under any Security Document on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value in excess of $35.0 million ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien in any material respect, subject only to Permitted Liens, and such condition continues for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee or Holders representing 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding of failure to comply with such requirement; provided that it will not be an Event of Default under this Section 6.01(a)(8)(b) if such condition results from the failure of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee to maintain possession or control of any Collateral; or

(9) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect, is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee, except, in each case, by reason of the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture.

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

Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) In the case of an Event of Default arising from events specified in Sections 6.01(a)(10) or 6.01(a)(11) hereof, with respect to the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership that is a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Partnership (with a copy to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee) specifying the Event of Default. Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

(b) Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided herein. The Trustee may withhold notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default from Holders of the Notes if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the interest of the Holders 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, if any, 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

103

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 (with a copy to the Collateral 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, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or Change of Control Offer); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Collateral Trustee) may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal of, premium or interest, if any, on the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 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 in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

(2) 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;

(3) 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;

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

(5) 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.

104

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 (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Subject to the following paragraph, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, 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; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to, or deletion or waiver of any of, the covenants described in Articles 4 or 5 or any action taken by the Issuers or Guarantors not prohibited hereunder (other than with respect to actions set forth in the penultimate paragraph of Section 9.02) shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or Section 6.01(a)(2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Partnership for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest 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, 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 compensation and reasonable 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 Partnership (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 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 compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 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 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding,

105

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. Priorities. Subject to the provisions contained in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

First: to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, 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, if any, respectively; and

Third: to the Partnership 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 and expenses, 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.

(v) The permissive rights of the Trustee and Collateral Trustee under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement shall not be construed as duties.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee and Collateral Trustee.

The Trustee or the Collateral Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Collateral Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.08 and 7.09 hereof.

Section 7.04. Disclaimer. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee will be responsible for and each makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, shall not be accountable for the Partnership’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Partnership or upon the Partnership’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee (in the case of the Trustee), and 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 the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of the Notes and the Collateral Trustee a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it is actually known by the Trustee or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Partnership will pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder and under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. Neither the Trustee’s nor the Collateral Trustee’s compensation will be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Partnership will reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee promptly upon

112

request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services as agreed to in writing by the parties. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Partnership and the Guarantors will jointly and severally indemnify each of the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their directors, officers, agents and employees and the Collateral Trustee and hold each of them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement against the Partnership and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Partnership, 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will notify the Partnership promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee to so notify the Partnership will not relieve the Partnership or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Partnership or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will cooperate in the defense. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may have separate counsel and the Partnership will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Partnership nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Partnership need not reimburse any expense or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee through the Trustee’s or the Collateral Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final, non-appealable decision court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The obligations of the Partnership and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee and with respect to the Collateral Trustee, the termination of the Collateral Trust Agreement and winding up of the trust formed thereby.

(d) To secure the Partnership’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium or interest, if any, on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When either of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (10) or (11) of Section 6.01(a) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses

113

of its respective agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.07. Replacement of Trustee or Collateral Trustee. (a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee or a successor Collateral Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s or successor Collateral Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.

(b) The Trustee or the Collateral Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Partnership.

(d) If a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee, the Partnership, or in the case of the successor Trustee the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, or in the case of a successor Collateral Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Parity Lien Debt, may, at the Partnership’s expense, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or a successor Collateral Trustee, which in the case of the Collateral Trustee, must be a bank or trust company: (1) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, and (2) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000.

(f) A successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, and to the Partnership. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee or successor Collateral Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Collateral Trustee to the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee or Collateral Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Partnership’s and Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.06 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Collateral Trustee.

(g) Upon the retirement or removal of the Trustee or Collateral Trustee hereunder, the retired or removed Trustee or Collateral Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any action or inaction of a successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee.

Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee or the Collateral 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 or successor Collateral Trustee, as applicable.

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 $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and each of the

115

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 Note Guarantees) and cure all then existing Events of Default on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note 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 (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture and the Security Documents and to have cured all then outstanding Events of Default (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuers or such Guarantors acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

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

(2) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.10 and 4.02 hereof;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and Collateral Trustee hereunder and the Partnership’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith;

(4) this Article 8; and

(5) Section 3.07 hereof, to the extent that such Legal Defeasance is to be effected together with a redemption.

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

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers 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, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 hereof and Section 5.01(4) 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

116

outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuers 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 Note 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 and Sections 6.01(a)(3) through 6.01(a)(9) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. (a) In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(1) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking firm, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the date of fixed maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to the date of fixed maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions:

(A) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

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

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

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Partnership must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Beneficial Owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax

117

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;

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(5) 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) to which the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound (other than that resulting with respect to any Indebtedness being defeased from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to such Indebtedness, and the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

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

(7) if the Notes are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, the Partnership must deliver to the Trustee instructions to redeem all of the Notes on the specified redemption date pursuant to the terms hereof; and

(8) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

(b) The Collateral will be released from the Lien securing the Notes upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with this Article 8.

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 Issuers 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 and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

118

The Issuers 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 Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers 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, a nationally recognized investment bank or a nationally recognized appraisal or valuation firm, expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)(1) 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 Partnership. Subject to any applicable laws relating to abandoned property, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on or interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their request or (if then held by the Issuers) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease.

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 Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note 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 Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers 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.

ARTICLE 9

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(13) to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes as additional security for the payment and performance of the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder,

120

in any property, or assets, including any of which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a security interest is required to be granted to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or otherwise;

(14) to provide for the succession of any parties to the Security Documents (and other amendments that are administrative or ministerial in nature) in connection with an amendment, renewal, extension, substitution, refinancing, restructuring, replacement, supplementing or other modification from time to time of any agreement in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the relevant Security Document;

Upon the request of the Partnership accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon receipt by the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, of the documents described in Section 7.02 and Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will join with the Partnership in the execution of any amendment or supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. Except as provided in Section 9.01 and in this Section 9.02, the Partnership and the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreement and the 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 or interest, if any, on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, the Note 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, or purchase of, the Notes).

121

Upon the request of the Partnership accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will join with the Partnership in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s and Collateral Trustee’s, as applicable, own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Indenture 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 Partnership will deliver to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Partnership 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. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Partnership with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 or Section 4.15 hereof);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

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

(5) make any Note payable in currency other than that stated in the Notes;

122

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes (other than as permitted in clause (7) below);

(7) waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 3.09, Section 4.10 or Section 4.15 hereof)

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

(9) make any change in the amendment, supplement and waiver provisions of clauses (1) through (9) of this Section 9.02.

In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 9.03. 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 Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, 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 unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

Section 9.04. 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 Partnership, 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.

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

123

Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will sign any amendment or supplement 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 Collateral Trustee, as applicable. The Partnership may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Partnership approves it. In executing any amendment or supplement, the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.02 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Partnership, enforceable against the Partnership in accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE 10
COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

Section 10.01. Security Interest. The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, 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 on, if any, and interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and performance of all other obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors to the Holders of Notes, the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Notes (including, without limitation, the Guarantees), according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Security Documents. Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreement and directs the Collateral Trustee to execute and deliver the same when applicable, in each case, as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, and authorizes and directs the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee, if applicable, to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuers will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Issuers will take, and will cause their Restricted Subsidiaries to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Issuers hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of itself and the Holders of Notes, with the priority

124

described herein and in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens and the exceptions in the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 10.02. Collateral and Lien Priorities. (a) At all times prior to consummation of an ABL Transaction, the Notes and related guarantees will be secured by first-priority security interests in the Collateral (on a pari passu or senior lien basis with any other Parity Lien Obligations), subject to Permitted Liens. At all times following consummation of an ABL Transaction, the Notes and Notes Guarantees will be secured by a first-priority security interest in the Notes Priority Collateral (on a pari passu or senior lien basis with any other Parity Lien Obligations) and by second priority security interests in the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case subject to Permitted Liens.

(b) At all times following consummation of an ABL Transaction, the Credit Agreement will be secured by first-priority security interests in the ABL Priority Collateral and by second-priority security interests in the Notes Priority Collateral.

(c) The Intercreditor Agreement will govern the priorities of the security interests and certain related creditor rights in the Collateral among the holders of the ABL Obligations, on the one hand, and the Holders of the Notes and the other Parity Lien Debt on the other hand.

(d) The Collateral Trust Agreement governs the priorities and security interests and certain related creditor rights in the Collateral among the Holders of the Notes and the other Parity Lien Debt.

(e) In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 10.03. Collateral Trustee. (a) By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders of the Notes will automatically appoint the Collateral Trustee to act as their agent with respect to all matters related to the Collateral and all matters related to the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Trustee will act for the benefit of the holders of:

(1) the Notes; and

(2) all other Parity Lien Debt outstanding from time to time.

(b) The Collateral Trustee will hold (directly or through co-trustees or agents), and will be entitled to enforce on behalf of the holders of the Notes and the other Parity Lien Debt, all Liens on the Collateral created by the Security Documents for their benefit, subject to the limitations and other provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) Except as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated:

(1) to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any Person;

125

(2) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien; or

(3) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Security Documents, the Liens created thereby or the Collateral.

(d) Without the consent of any Holder, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may enter into one or more amendments and/or restatements of the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement (or any new intercreditor agreement or collateral trust agreement on terms substantially similar to the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement (or on terms not materially adverse to the Holders) (as determined in good faith by the Partnership)) to:

(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

(2) increase the amount or types of Indebtedness covered thereby that may be incurred by any Issuer or Guarantor that is subject thereto (including the addition of provisions relating to new Indebtedness ranking junior to the Notes); provided that such Indebtedness is incurred in compliance with this Indenture;

(3) add Guarantors thereto;

(4) further secure the Notes (including any Additional Notes); or

(5) make any other such change thereto that does not adversely affect the rights of Holders in any material respect.

Section 10.04. Lien Priority Confirmation.

Each Holder, by accepting a Note, and the Trustee hereby agree that:

(a) The Trustee and each of the Holders of the Obligations in respect of this Indenture are bound by the provisions of this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement;

(b) The Trustee and each of the Holders consents to and directs the Collateral Trustee to act as agent for the Trustee and the Holders of the Obligations in respect of this Indenture, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement;

(c) The Holders consent to and direct the Trustee to act as Applicable Parity Lien Representative under the Collateral Trust Agreement and Intercreditor Agreement, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in such capacity under such agreements; and

(d) The Trustee and each of the Holders are bound by the Intercreditor Agreement.

The foregoing provision is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the Collateral Trustee, each existing and future holder of Parity Lien Debt and each existing and

126

future representative with respect thereto, the Collateral Trustee, each existing and future holder of ABL Obligations and each existing and future representative with respect thereto.

Section 10.05. Equal and Ratable Sharing of Collateral by Holders of Parity Lien Debt. Notwithstanding: (1) anything to the contrary contained in the Security Documents; (2) the time of incurrence of any series of Parity Lien Debt; (3) the order or method of attachment or perfection of any Lien on Collateral securing any series of Parity Lien Debt; (4) the time or order of filing or recording of financing statements or other documents filed or recorded to perfect any Liens on Collateral securing any series of Parity Lien Debt; (5) the time of taking possession or control over any Collateral securing any series of Parity Lien Debt; or (6) the rules for determining priority under any law governing relative priorities of Liens, all Liens on Collateral granted at any time by the Issuers or any Guarantor to the holders of Parity Lien Debt will secure, equally and ratably, all present and future Parity Lien Debt of the Issuers or such Guarantor, as the case may be, as more fully specified in the Collateral Trust Agreement; (provided, that if provided by the terms thereof or with the consent of the holders thereof, a series of Parity Lien Debt may be secured by Liens (i) that are junior to the Liens on the assets and property securing the Parity Lien Obligations and/or the ABL Obligations (but in no event secured by a Lien that is senior to the Lien securing the Obligations) or (ii) are secured by Liens on assets and property comprising less (but not more) than all of the assets and properties upon which Liens have been granted to secure the Parity Lien Obligations).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership may elect to have any such other Parity Lien Debt rank junior in priority to the Notes and Note Guarantees with respect to the Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may enter into an intercreditor agreement or an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement to subordinate the Liens on such other Parity Lien Debt to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations with respect to the Notes and Note Guarantees on customary market terms or on terms that are not otherwise materially adverse to the interests of the Holders (in each case, as determined in good faith by the Partnership). The Trustee and Collateral Trustee will enter into any such intercreditor agreement or amendment at the request of the Partnership. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to and accepted the terms and conditions of such intercreditor agreement or amendment, to have authorized the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee to become a party to any such intercreditor agreement or amendment, and the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will not be required to seek the consent of any Holders to perform its obligations under and in accordance with this covenant.

The foregoing provision is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each present and future holder of Parity Lien Debt (including the Holders of the Notes) and the Collateral Trustee, as a holder of Liens on the Collateral, in each case, as a party to the Collateral Trust Agreement or as a third party beneficiary thereof.

Section 10.06. Release of Liens in Respect of Notes. (a) The Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be released:

127

(1) upon payment in full of principal, interest and all other Obligations on the Notes or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or defeasance (including covenant defeasance of the Notes);

(2) upon release of a Note Guarantee (with respect to the Liens securing such Note Guarantee granted by such Guarantor);

(b) Each of the releases described in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Section 10.06(a) above shall be effected by the Collateral Trustee without the consent of the Holders or any action on the part of the Trustee. Upon compliance by the Issuers or any Guarantor, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent required by this Indenture and delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 14.04 of this Indenture, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall promptly cause to be released and re-conveyed to such Issuer or Guarantor, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, the released Collateral. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

(2) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes as against any other creditors of the Issuers or any Guarantor (other than as expressly specified in the Intercreditor Agreement);

128

(3) restrict the right of any Holder of Notes to xxx for payments that are then due and owing (but not the right to enforce any judgment in respect thereof against any Collateral to the extent specifically prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement);

(4) restrict or prevent any Holder of Notes or other Parity Lien Debt, the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or any other person from exercising any of its rights or remedies upon a Default or Event of Default not specifically restricted or prohibited by this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement; or

(5) restrict or prevent any Holder of Notes or other Parity Lien Debt, the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or any other person from taking any lawful action in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding not specifically restricted or prohibited by this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Issuers and each of the Guarantors may, subject to compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, but without release or consent of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee or any holder of Parity Lien Debt, conduct ordinary course activities with respect to the Collateral.

Section 10.08. Further Assurances.

Section 10.09. Insurance. (a) The Issuers and the Guarantors shall:

(1) keep their properties insured and maintain such general liability, automobile liability, workers’ compensation/employers’ liability, property casualty insurance and any excess umbrella or other coverage related to any of the foregoing as is customary for companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations;

(2) maintain such other insurance as may be required by law; and

(3) maintain such other insurance as may be required by the Security Documents relating to the Parity Lien Debt.

129

(b) Upon the request of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall furnish to the Trustee or Collateral Trustee full information as to their property and liability insurance carriers. The Issuers shall (x) provide the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee with notice of cancellation or modification with respect to its property and casualty policies before the effective date of such cancellation or modification and (y) name the Trustee or Collateral Trustee as a co-loss payee and/or lender loss payee on property and casualty policies and as an additional insured as its interests may appear on general liability policies (provided that with respect to policies in effect on the Issue Date, the Issuers shall not be required to comply with the obligations set forth in clause (y) until the date that is 90 days following the Issue Date).

Section 10.10. After-Acquired Collateral. (a) From the date of this Indenture, if property is acquired by any Issuer or Guarantor that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest (but only to the extent perfection of the security interest in such property would be required by the terms of the Security Documents in effect on the date of this Indenture) under the Security Documents or a Restricted Subsidiary (including a newly created or newly acquired Subsidiary) becomes a Guarantor (such property referred to hereinafter as “After-Acquired Collateral”), then such Issuer or Guarantor will, as soon as reasonably practical and in any event within 60 days after such property’s acquisition or it no longer being an Excluded Asset or such person becoming a Guarantor, grant Liens on such property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, all of its assets except Excluded Assets) in favor of the Collateral Trustee (and, to the extent such grant would require the execution and delivery of a Security Document, such Issuer or Guarantor shall execute and deliver such Security Document on substantially the same terms as the Security Documents covering Collateral owned by the Issuers and Guarantors on the date of this Indenture including, with respect to personal property, execution of a supplement to the applicable Security Documents and, with respect to real property, execution of a new mortgage or an amendment to an existing mortgage and delivery of each of the documents described in Section 10.11 below and any other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Trustee).

(b) It shall not be a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture if the Partnership is unable to grant a security interest in the After-Acquired Collateral or deliver the items required by Section 10.10(a) with respect to the After-Acquired Collateral within the time frame described in Section 10.10(a) so long as the Partnership used commercially reasonable efforts to do so.

(c) Upon completing its obligations under Section 10.10(a), the Partnership shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that it has delivered and complied with all its obligations contained in Section 10.10(a).

Section 10.11. Real Property Post-Closing Obligations. The Issuers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, with respect to the Principal Properties (each such real property asset, the “Mortgaged Property”), promptly after the date hereof, but in any event within ninety (90) days from the date hereof, the following documents each in form and substance as is necessary or advisable to properly perfect and

130

protect the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee’s security interest in such Mortgage Property: (1) a fully executed and notarized mortgage or deed of trust, assignment of rents, pledge and security agreement and fixture filing (each, a “Mortgage”) encumbering the real property of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors in each such Mortgaged Property, together with such UCC-1 financing statements or other fixture filings as appropriate with respect to such Mortgaged Property; (2) evidence that a counterpart of the Mortgage (and such other documents referenced in clause (1) of this Section 10.11) for each Mortgaged Property has been recorded (or are in form suitable for recording) in all recording offices necessary or desirable in order to create a valid and subsisting Lien on the Mortgaged Property described therein in favor of the Collateral Trustee for its benefit and for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes; (3) a pro forma title insurance policy (each, a “Mortgage Policy”) for each Mortgaged Property, which shall include only those endorsements and affirmative insurance as is customary for the transaction of this nature and which, upon the recording of the Mortgages, will insure the Mortgages to be valid and subsisting first priority (with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral) Liens on the Mortgaged Property described therein, free and clear of all Liens, except Liens permitted by the Indenture; (4) a written opinion from local counsel in each state in which Mortgaged Property is located with respect to enforceability, creation, perfection and payment of mortgage tax with respect to the applicable Mortgage and any related fixture filings, in customary form and substance and subject to customary assumptions, limitations and qualifications; (5) all existing surveys and no change affidavits as may be reasonably required to cause the title company to issue the Mortgage Policies required pursuant to clause (3) above; (6) with respect to each Mortgaged Property, such affidavits, certificates, instruments of indemnification and other items (including a so-called “gap” indemnification) as shall be reasonably required by the title insurance company to induce the title insurance company to issue the Mortgage Policies contemplated above; (7) evidence reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee of payment by the Issuers of all Mortgage Policy premiums, search and examination charges escrow charges and related charges, mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of the Mortgages, fixture filings and issuance of the Mortgage Policies referred to above; and (8) with respect to each Mortgaged Property, a flood hazard determination and, if the area in which any improvements located on any Mortgaged Property is designated a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), flood insurance, with loss payee endorsements in favor of the Collateral Trustee for and for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, to the extent (including with respect to amounts) required in order to comply with applicable law.

ARTICLE 11
NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 11.01. Guarantee. (a) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the

131

Notes or the Security Documents or the obligations of the Partnership hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, and premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Partnership to the Holders, the Collateral Trustee 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) 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 Issuers, 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 Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note 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, the Collateral Trustee 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 Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations

132

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 Note 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 Note Guarantee.

Section 11.02. 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 Note 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 Note 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 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.03. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. The failure to execute such Note Guarantee shall not affect the obligations of any Guarantor under such Note Guarantee or hereunder.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

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

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

Section 11.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. (a) A Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Partnership may not sell or otherwise dispose of, in one or more related transactions, all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than either Issuer or another Guarantor, unless:

133

(1) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2) either:

(a) either (i) the Guarantor is the surviving Person or (ii) the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes, pursuant to a supplemental indenture or such other supplements or joinders to the Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreement, all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Notes, this Indenture, the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the other Security Documents and its Note Guarantee on the terms set forth therein; or

(b) such transaction complies with Section 4.10 hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may (i) merge with a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership or another Guarantor solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Guarantor in the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof or (ii) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company or trust organized under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor, in each case without regard to the requirements set forth in clause (1) of Section 11.04(a) hereof.

(c) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Partnership and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Section 11.05. Releases. (a) The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released automatically and unconditionally without the need for any action by any party:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such

134

transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 hereof;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Guarantor (including by way of consolidation or merger or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 hereof and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership as a result of the sale or other disposition;

(3) (i) if the Partnership designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.17 hereof or (ii) such Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary;

(4) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof;

(5) solely in the case of a Note Guarantee created pursuant to Section 4.16 hereof, upon the release or discharge of the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee pursuant to such covenant, except a discharge or release of such guarantee by or as a result of payment under such guarantee;

(6) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor;

(7) at such time as the Guarantor ceases to both (x) guarantee any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers and any other Guarantor and (y) be an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under a Credit Facility; and

(8) upon such Guarantor consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or substantially all of its properties or assets to the Partnership or another Guarantor.

(b) Upon the release of a Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.05, all Collateral owned by the related Guarantor and, solely with respect to the release of a Note Guarantee under clauses (2), (3)(i) or (4) of Section 11.05(a), the Capital Stock of the released Guarantor, will also be automatically released.

(c) Upon delivery by the Partnership to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one or more Note Guarantees may be released under the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably requested in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(d) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 11.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, or

135

premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.

(b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and the Issuers or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of fixed maturity or redemption;

CVR Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and CVR Nitrogen Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Finance Corp.” and, together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), promise to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9.250% per annum from June 10, 2016 until maturity. The Issuers will pay interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 15, 2016. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; they will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment will

A1-4

be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Issuers or any of the Subsidiaries of the Partnership may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(4) INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 10, 2016 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Issuers. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) At any time prior to June 15, 2019, the Partnership may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes), upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), with an amount not exceeding the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, provided that:

(i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Partnership and its Subsidiaries); and

(ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

(b) Prior to June 15, 2019, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to:

(i) the principal amount thereof; plus

(ii) the Make Whole Premium at the redemption date; plus

(iii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant

A1-5

record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

(c) Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Partnership’s option prior to June 15, 2019.

(d) On or after June 15, 2019, the Partnership may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the applicable date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:



Year	Percentage

Unless the Partnership defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Partnership is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Partnership to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in Section 4.15 of the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Partnership will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date. No later than 30 days following any Change of Control (or prior to the Change of Control if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control), the Partnership will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee electronically or by first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase

A1-6

Notes as of the Change of Control Settlement Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by Section 4.15 of the Indenture and described in such notice.

(b) If the Partnership or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership consummates any Asset Sale, within 10 Business Days of each date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Partnership will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of Pari Passu Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets in accordance with the Indenture to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Debt (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of settlement, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of settlement, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Debt tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Trustee or agent for such other Pari Passu Debt shall select such Pari Passu Debt 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 or its nominee or successor may require or, where such nominee or successor is the Trustee, a method that most nearly approximate pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) but with such adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or other Pari Passu Debt is purchased in part in an authorized denomination, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. The Partnership may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365-day period (as such period may be extended in accordance with the Indenture). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Partnership prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

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.

(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Partnership may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Partnership need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Partnership need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or tendered and not withdrawn in connection with a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer.

A1-10

Lien, subject only to Permitted Liens or (b) except as permitted by the Indenture or the relevant Security Documents, any Lien for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes purported to be granted under any Security Document on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value in excess of $35.0 million ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien in any material respect, subject only to Permitted Liens, and such condition continues for 60 days after written notice by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee or Holders representing 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding of failure to comply with such requirement; provided that it will not be an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(8)(b) of the Indenture if such condition results from the failure of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee to maintain possession or control of any Collateral; and (ix) the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Partnership or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Partnership that is a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. 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, premium, if any, or interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders of Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its respective consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase). The Partnership is required to deliver to the Trustee annually within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Within 30 days of any officer of the Partnership or Finance Corp. becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee a written statement specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what actions the Issuers are taking or propose to take in respect thereof, but only to the extent that such Default or Event of Default has not been cured by the end of such 30 day period.
