ARTICLE II

THE NEW THIRD LIEN SECURED NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

(a) General. The New Third Lien Secured Notes and the Third Lien Trustee’s certificates of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The New Third Lien Secured Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each New Third Lien Secured Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be issued in registered, global form without interest coupons and only shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the New Third Lien Secured Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Third Lien Indenture and the Company and the Third Lien Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Third Lien Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any New Third Lien Secured Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Third Lien Indenture, the provisions of this Third Lien Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Notes. The New Third Lien Secured Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including, in each case, the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). New Third Lien Secured Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, repurchases, redemptions and conversions, as applicable. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Third Lien Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.07 hereof.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

One Officer of the Company shall sign the New Third Lien Secured Notes for the Company by manual, facsimile or electronic signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a New Third Lien Secured Note no longer holds that office at the time a New Third Lien Secured Note is authenticated, the New Third Lien Secured Note shall nevertheless be valid.

A New Third Lien Secured Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Third Lien Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence and the only evidence, that the New Third Lien Secured Note has been authenticated and delivered under this Third Lien Indenture.

The aggregate principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Third Lien Indenture is the aggregate principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes issued on the date hereof and any Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes issued pursuant to this Third Lien Indenture.

The Third Lien Trustee or its agents shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate New Third Lien Secured Notes for original issue on the date hereof of $[•]. The Authentication Order shall specify the amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the New Third Lien Secured Notes are to be authenticated. In authenticating any Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Third Lien Indenture in relation to such Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes, the Third Lien Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(1) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company in or pursuant to which the Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes were approved, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such certificate;

(a) an Officer’s Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 14.04(i) hereof; and

(b) an Opinion of Counsel delivered in accordance with Section 14.04(ii) hereof and which shall also state:

(c) that such Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Third Lien Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and

(d) that all laws and corporate requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes have been complied with.

The Third Lien Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes under this Section if the Third Lien Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Third Lien Trustee in good faith shall determines that such action would expose the Third Lien Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

The Third Lien Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate New Third Lien Secured Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate New Third Lien Secured Notes whenever the Third Lien Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Third Lien Indenture to authentication by the Third Lien Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights and protections as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Company and/or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03 Methods of Receiving Payments on the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

If a Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company shall pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that Holder’s New Third Lien Secured Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the contiguous United States unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders.

Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency where the New Third Lien Secured Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where the New Third Lien Secured Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) or conversion (“Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the New Third Lien Secured Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents and conversion agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Third Lien Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent not a party to this Third Lien Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, Paying Agent, or Conversion Agent, the Third Lien Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.

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

(c) The Company initially appoints the Third Lien Trustee to act as the Registrar, Conversion Agent and Paying Agent for the New Third Lien Secured Notes and to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.06 Holder Lists.

The Third Lien Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If a Third Lien Trustee is not a Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Third Lien Trustee at least seven (7) Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Third Lien Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Third Lien Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

Section 2.07 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Company shall cause each Third Lien Trustee to keep, so long as it is the Registrar, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Third Lien Trustee, or such other office as the Third Lien Trustee may designate, a register for the New Third Lien Secured Notes (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof being herein sometimes referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Registrar may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of New Third Lien Secured Notes and of transfers of New Third Lien Secured Notes. The Third Lien Trustee shall initially be the Registrar for the purpose of registering the New Third Lien Secured Notes and transfers of the New Third Lien Secured Notes as herein provided. The Company may change the Registrar or appoint one or more co-Registrars without prior notice; provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Third Lien Trustee in writing if the Company changes the Registrar or appoints a co-Registrar.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any New Third Lien Secured Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Company shall execute, and the Third Lien Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new New Third Lien Secured Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in a New Third Lien Secured Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

At the option of the Holder, New Third Lien Secured Notes may be exchanged for other New Third Lien Secured Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the New Third Lien Secured Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any New Third Lien Secured Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Third Lien Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver, New Third Lien Secured Notes.

All New Third Lien Secured Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Third Lien Indenture, as the New Third Lien Secured Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every New Third Lien Secured Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, or for exchange, repurchase, redemption or conversion, as applicable, shall (if so required by the Company or the Third Lien Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer, exchange, repurchase, redemption or conversion, as applicable, of New Third Lien Secured Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to this Section 2.07 or Section 2.09 hereof not involving any transfer, except for any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.12, 3.06, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 4.07 or 9.05 hereof or pursuant to any offer for the New Third Lien Secured Notes which the Company may make to the Holders pursuant to the provisions of any indenture supplemental hereto).

The Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any New Third Lien Secured Note selected for redemption (except in the case of a note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the note not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any New Third Lien Secured Note for a period of fifteen (15) days prior to a selection of New Third Lien Secured Notes to be redeemed or tendered and not withdrawn in connection with a Fundamental Change Offer or an Asset Sale Offer or between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or a special record date and the next succeeding special payment date.

Any New Third Lien Secured Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Note, whether pursuant to this Section 2.07, Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.12, 3.06 and 9.05 hereto or otherwise, shall also be a Global Note and bear the Global Note Legend specified in Exhibit A hereto.

All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.07 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile with the original to follow by first class mail.

Section 2.08 Book Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a) Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary (ii) be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or with the Third Lien Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Third Lien Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Third Lien Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Third Lien Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Third Lien Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Third Lien Trustee or any agent of the Company or each of the Third Lien Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any New Third Lien Secured Notes.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Third Lien Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for New Third Lien Secured Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary, (ii) the Company, at its option, executes and delivers to the Third Lien Trustee a company order stating that it elects to cause the issuance of the New Third Lien Secured Notes in certificated form and that all Global Notes shall be exchanged in whole for New Third Lien Secured Notes that are not Global Notes or (iii) there shall have occurred and be Continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Global Note and the beneficial owner thereof has requested such exchange.

(c) If any Global Note is to be exchanged for other New Third Lien Secured Notes or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Third Lien Trustee, as security registrar, for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article II. If any Global Note is to be exchanged for other New Third Lien Secured Notes or canceled in part, or if another New Third Lien Secured Note is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Note, then either (i) such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article II or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other New Third Lien Secured Note to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Third Lien Trustee, as Registrar, whereupon the Third Lien Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Note, the Third Lien Trustee shall, subject to this Section 2.08(c) and as otherwise provided in this Article II, authenticate and deliver any New Third Lien Secured Notes issuable in exchange for such Global Note (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Third Lien Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.08(b), the Company shall promptly make available to the Third Lien Trustee a reasonable supply of the New Third Lien Secured Notes that are not in the form of Global Notes. The Third Lien Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article II if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

(d) Every New Third Lien Secured Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article II or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, unless such New Third Lien Secured Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.

(e) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Note, shall be the Holder of such Global Note for all purposes under this Third Lien Indenture and the New Third Lien Secured Notes, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Note shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Note will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members.

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

None of the Company, the Third Lien Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent or any Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of Depositary records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any Depositary records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for transfers of beneficial interests in the New Third Lien Secured Notes or any transactions between the Depositary and beneficial owners.

Section 2.09 Replacement Notes.

(a) If any mutilated New Third Lien Secured Note is surrendered to the Third Lien Trustee or the Company and the Third Lien Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any New Third Lien Secured Note, the Company shall issue and the Third Lien Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement New Third Lien Secured Note if the Third Lien Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Third Lien Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Third Lien Trustee, any Agent and any Authenticating Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a New Third Lien Secured Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a New Third Lien Secured Note.

(b) Every replacement New Third Lien Secured Note is an additional Third Lien Obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Third Lien Indenture equally and proportionately with all other New Third Lien Secured Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.10 Outstanding Notes.

(a) The New Third Lien Secured Notes outstanding at any time are all the New Third Lien Secured Notes authenticated by the Third Lien Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by a Third Lien Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, those New Third Lien Secured Notes that have been converted and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, a New Third Lien Secured Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the New Third Lien Secured Note; however, New Third Lien Secured Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(c) hereof.

(b) If a New Third Lien Secured Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Third Lien Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced New Third Lien Secured Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

(c) If the principal amount of any New Third Lien Secured Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

(d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay the New Third Lien Secured Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.11 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice consent or waiver, New Third Lien Secured Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Third Lien Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice consent or waiver, only New Third Lien Secured Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Third Lien Trustee has been notified in writing are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.12 Temporary Notes.

(a) Until certificates representing New Third Lien Secured Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Third Lien Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary New Third Lien Secured Notes. Temporary New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated New Third Lien Secured Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary New Third Lien Secured Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Third Lien Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Third Lien Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary New Third Lien Secured Notes.

(b) Holders of temporary New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Third Lien Indenture.

Section 2.13 Cancellation.

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

Section 2.14 Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the New Third Lien Secured Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the New Third Lien Secured Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof (and the defaulted interest shall cease to be payable to the Holder on

the original payment date). The Company shall notify the Third Lien Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each New Third Lien Secured Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than ten (10) days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Third Lien Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.15 CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing New Third Lien Secured Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Third Lien Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption 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 New Third Lien Secured Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the New Third Lien Secured Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Third Lien Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.16 Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes; Repurchases.

The Company may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Holders and notwithstanding any other provision of this Third Lien Indenture, reopen this Third Lien Indenture and issue Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes hereunder with the same terms as the New Third Lien Secured Notes initially issued hereunder (except for any differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes and, if applicable, restrictions on transfer in respect of such Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that a separate CUSIP or ISIN shall be issued for any Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes, unless the Initial New Third Lien Secured Notes and such Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes have the same terms and such Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes are (a) issued pursuant to a “qualified reopening” of Initial New Third Lien Secured Notes offered hereby or (b) otherwise treated as part of the same “issue” of debt instruments as the Initial New Third Lien Secured Notes, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or another then-recognized identifier is used.

The Initial New Third Lien Secured Notes and Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters pertaining to such series as a single class.

Prior to the issuance of any Additional New Third Lien Secured Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Third Lien Trustee a company order, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters set forth in Section 2.02, in addition to those required by Section 14.04, as the Third Lien Trustee shall reasonably request.

The Company or its Affiliates may directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such New Third Lien Secured Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase New Third Lien Secured Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives, subject to Section 4.05. The Company may, at its option and to the extent permitted by applicable law, reissue, resell, hold or surrender to the Third Lien Trustee for cancellation any New Third Lien Secured Notes that it may repurchase. Any New Third Lien Secured Notes that the Company may repurchase will be considered outstanding for all purposes under this Third Lien Indenture (other than, at any time when such New Third Lien Secured Notes are held by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any Subsidiary of any of such Affiliates, for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Third Lien Indenture) unless and until such time as the Company surrenders such New Third Lien Secured Notes to the Third Lien Trustee for cancellation and, upon receipt of a written order from the Company, the Third Lien Trustee will cancel all New Third Lien Secured Notes so surrendered in accordance with Section 2.13.

It is the intention of the foregoing that the New Third Lien Secured Notes will not be an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code. A prepayment or redemption pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall not constitute an optional prepayment or redemption and shall not be subject to Sections 3.01 through 3.08 hereof.

(e) If any transaction in which the Common Stock is replaced by the securities of another entity occurs, references to the Company in the definition of “Fundamental Change” in Section 3.12(a) shall thereafter instead be references to such other entity.

(v) Indebtedness owed to (including obligations in respect of letters of credit or bank guarantees or similar instruments for the benefit of) any Person providing workers’ compensation, health, disability or other employee benefits (whether to current or former employees) or property, casualty or liability insurance or self-insurance in respect of such items, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement-type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits (whether current or former) or property, casualty or liability insurance; provided that upon the Incurrence of any Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims, such obligations are reimbursed not later than forty-five (45) days following such Incurrence;

(vi) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or any Subsidiaries providing for indemnification, earn-outs, adjustment of purchase or acquisition price or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary of the Company, other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition;

(viii) Indebtedness pursuant to Hedge Agreements;

(ix) Indebtedness in respect of performance bonds, bid bonds, appeal bonds, surety bonds and completion guarantees and similar obligations, in each case, provided in the ordinary course of business, including those Incurred to secure health, safety and environmental obligations in the ordinary course of business;

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be Incurred as Ratio Debt, the Company may, in its sole discretion, at the time of Incurrence, combine, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time combine, divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant; provided that (x) all Indebtedness under the ABL/FILO Facility or guarantees thereof (and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) will be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) and (y) all Indebtedness under the New Third Lien Secured Notes or guarantees thereof (and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) will be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to 4.04(b)(ii), and, in each case of clauses (x) and (y) above, the Company will not be permitted to reclassify at any later date all or any portion of such Indebtedness. All Indebtedness originally Incurred under Section 4.04(b)(xxiii) will be automatically reclassified as Ratio Debt on the first date on which such Indebtedness would have been permitted to be Incurred by the obligor thereon as Ratio Debt. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies, will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.04. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness will not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this covenant.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced (plus unpaid accrued interest and premium (including tender premiums) thereon and underwriting discounts, defeasance costs, fees, commissions and expenses in connection therewith).

Section 4.05 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests, including any payment made in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company (other than (x) dividends or distributions by the Company payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or (y) dividends or distributions by a Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, the Company or a Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities);

(ii) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Company, including in connection with any merger or consolidation;

(iv) redeem, repurchase, exchange or otherwise repay the Old 2024 Notes, Old 2034 Notes or Old 2044 Notes prior to the maturity of any of the New Second Lien Secured Notes; provided that the Old 2024 Notes, Old 2034 Notes and Old 2044 Notes may be exchanged in a debt-for-debt exchange in an amount not exceeding 90% of the Exchange Price provided to the Holders of the Old 2024 Notes, Old 2034 Notes and Old 2044 Notes, as applicable, as part of the Exchange Offers; provided further that the Old 2024 Notes may be redeemed, repurchased or repaid in cash at par on or after April 1, 2024; or

(iv) the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any class or series of Preferred Stock of any Subsidiaries issued or Incurred in accordance with Section 4.04;

(2) the declaration and payment of dividends to the Company, the Proceeds of which will be used to fund the payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company issued after the Issue Date;

provided, however, that (A) on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which Required Financial Statements have been delivered immediately preceding the making of such Restricted Payment either (x) the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company is at least 2.00 to 1.00 or (y) the Total Net Leverage Ratio is no more than 2.50 to 1.00 and (B) the aggregate amount of dividends declared and paid pursuant to this Section 4.05(b)(viii) does not exceed the Net Cash Proceeds actually received by the Company from the sale (or the contribution of the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale) of Designated Preferred Stock;

(ix) the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 3.11, Section 3.12, Section 3.13 and Section 4.07; provided that, prior to such payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value, the Company (or a third party to the extent permitted by this Third Lien Indenture) has made a Fundamental Change Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as the case may be, with respect to the New Third Lien Secured Notes and has repurchased, redeemed, defeased, acquired or retired all New Third Lien Secured Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such Fundamental Change Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as the case may be; and

(x) any Restricted Payment, provided, however, that on a Pro Forma Basis for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which Required Financial Statements have been delivered immediately preceding the making of such Restricted Payment, either (x) the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company is at least 2.00 to 1.00 or (y) the Total Net Leverage Ratio is no more than 2.50 to 1.00; provided, further, that Restricted Payments made pursuant to this Section 4.05(b)(x) may not be used to redeem, repurchase or otherwise repay Old 2024 Notes, Old 2034 Notes or Old 2044 Notes.

(c) For purposes of this Section 4.05, if any Investment or Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions above and/or one or more of the exceptions contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Company may divide and classify such Investment or Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and may later divide and reclassify any such Investment or Restricted Payment so long as the Investment or Restricted Payment (as so divided and/or reclassified) would be permitted to be made in reliance on the applicable exception as of the date of such reclassification.

(d) This Section 4.05 shall not restrict the making of, or dividends or other distributions in amounts sufficient to make, any AHYDO Catch-Up Payment with respect to any New Third Lien Secured Notes.

Section 4.06 Liens.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or Incur any Lien securing Indebtedness on any asset or property of any of the Company or any Subsidiary, except

(a) Permitted Liens; or

(b) Liens other than Permitted Liens on assets that are not Collateral; provided that with respect to this Section 4.06(b), the New Third Lien Secured Notes, are equally and ratably secured (or secured on a senior basis) with such Lien; provided that any Lien that is granted to secure the Third Lien Obligations or any Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to this this Section 4.06(b) will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged at the same time as the release of the underlying Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Third Lien Obligations or such Guarantee under this clause Section 4.06(b).

Section 4.07 Asset Sales.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless:

(i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Subsidiaries, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(1) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Company or such Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are Subordinated Indebtedness) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or Equity Interests pursuant to an agreement that releases or indemnifies the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, from further liability (or are otherwise extinguished in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale);

(2) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Company or such Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted or reasonably expected to be converted by the Company acting in good faith by the Company or such Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received or expected to be received), or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the receipt thereof; and

(3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(ii)(3) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $100,000,000 and (y) 2.50% of Consolidated Total Assets, calculated 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) will be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.07(a)(ii).

(b) Within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days after the later of (x) the date of any Asset Sale and (y) the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale, the Company or such Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

(i) to reduce Indebtedness (through a prepayment, repayment or purchase, as applicable) as follows:

(1) Obligations under the New Second Lien Secured Notes and New Third Lien Secured Notes, including by redemption or by purchasing the New Second Lien Secured Notes or New Third Lien Secured Notes, as applicable, through a tender offer, open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions;

(2) ABL/FILO Obligations and Obligations under any other Credit Facility to the extent such Obligations were incurred under Section 4.04(b)(i); provided that for Indebtedness consisting of a revolving credit facility for working capital or general corporate purposes there shall be no requirement to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; or

(3) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds resulted from an Asset Sale of assets not constituting Collateral, Obligations of a Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor; or

(ii) to make:

(1) an Investment in any one or more businesses so long as such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes or continues to constitute a Subsidiary,

(2) capital expenditures; or

(3) acquisitions of, or investments in, other properties or assets;

provided that such application of Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to each of Section 4.07(b)(ii)(1), Section 4.07(b)(ii)(2) and Section 4.07(b)(ii)(3) is used or useful in the business of the Company or a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and/ or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; provided further that the Company may elect to deem expenditures that otherwise would be permissible Investments, capital expenditures or acquisitions of other property or assets within the scope of Section 4.07(b)(ii)(1), Section 4.07(b)(ii)(2) and Section 4.07(b)(ii)(3), as applicable, that occur prior to the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale to have been invested in accordance with this Section 4.07(b)(ii) (it being agreed that such deemed expenditure shall have been made no earlier than the earliest of (x) notice of such Asset Sale, (y) execution of a definitive agreement for such Asset Sale and (z) consummation of such Asset Sale); or

(iii) any combination of Section 4.07(b)(i) and Section 4.07(b)(ii);

provided that a binding commitment or letter of intent entered into not later than such 365th day shall be treated as a permitted application of such Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment or letter of intent so long as the Company or such Subsidiary enters into such commitment or letter of intent with the good faith expectation that the Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment or letter of intent within the later of such three hundred and sixty-fifth (365^th) day and one hundred and eighty (180) days of such commitment or letter of intent (an “Acceptable Commitment”) or, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Company or such Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within one hundred and eighty (180) days of such cancellation or termination; provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Cash Proceeds are applied, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

(c) Any amount of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not utilized or applied as provided within the time period set forth in this Section 4.07 will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any amount of Proceeds offered to Holders pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(ii) in connection with an Asset Sale Offer made at any time after the Asset Sale will be deemed to have been applied as required and will not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to the extent to which such offer is accepted by the Holders. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $93,750,000, the Company will make an open market offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, to all holders of such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum principal amount of such New Third Lien Secured Notes and Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Third Lien Indenture and the agreement governing such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness. The Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $93,750,000 by transmitting electronically or by mailing to the Holders the notice required pursuant to the terms of the Third Lien Indenture, with a copy to the Third Lien Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of the application period or by electing to make an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds before the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $93,750,000.

(d) To the extent that the aggregate amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes and other Indebtedness tendered or otherwise surrendered in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.07(b) is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Third Lien Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes and Indebtedness tendered or otherwise surrendered by Holders in accordance with the terms of this section exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the New Third Lien Secured Notes (and the Company or its agents will select such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, if applicable) to be purchased in the manner set forth in Section 4.07(h). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. To the extent the Excess Proceeds exceed the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes (and, if required by the terms thereof, all Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness), the Company need only make an Asset Sale Offer up to the outstanding aggregate principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes (and any such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness), and any additional Excess Proceeds will not be subject to this covenant and will be permitted to be used for any purpose otherwise permitted by this Third Lien Indenture in the Company’s discretion.

(e) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the New Third Lien Secured Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Third Lien Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Third Lien Indenture by virtue thereof.

(f) The provisions under this Third Lien Indenture relative to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the New Third Lien Secured Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

(g) The ABL/FILO Facility limits, and future credit agreements or other agreements to which the Company becomes a party may prohibit or limit, the Company from purchasing any New Third Lien Secured Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. In the event the Company is prohibited from purchasing the New Third Lien Secured Notes, the Company may seek the consent of their lenders to the purchase of the New Third Lien Secured Notes or attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Company does not obtain such consent or repay such borrowings, they will remain prohibited from purchasing the New Third Lien Secured Notes. In such case, the Company’s failure to purchase tendered New Third Lien Secured Notes would not constitute an Event of Default under this Third Lien Indenture. If more New Third Lien Secured Notes are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required to purchase, selection of such New Third Lien Secured Notes for purchase will be made in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such New Third Lien Secured Notes are listed (but only to the extent that the Third Lien Trustee has been

notified in writing of such listing by the Company) or if such New Third Lien Secured Notes are not listed, on a pro rata basis or as nearly a pro rata basis as practicable (with adjustments so that only New Third Lien Secured Notes in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), by lot or by such other method as the Third Lien Trustee will deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements, if any); provided that the selection of such New Third Lien Secured Notes for purchase will not result in a Holder with a principal amount of such New Third Lien Secured Notes less than the minimum denomination of $2,000. If all of such New Third Lien Secured Notes are in global form, interests in such New Third Lien Secured Notes to be redeemed will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. No New Third Lien Secured Note will be repurchased in part if less than the minimum denomination of such New Third Lien Secured Note would be left outstanding.

(h) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer will be delivered or caused to be delivered, or in the case of New Third Lien Secured Notes in global form, delivered or cause to be delivered electronically in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days before the purchase date to each Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes at such Holder’s registered address, with a copy to the Third Lien Trustee, or otherwise in accordance with Applicable Procedures. If any New Third Lien Secured Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such New Third Lien Secured Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

(i) A new New Third Lien Secured Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any New Third Lien Secured Note purchased in part will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the New Third Lien Secured Note.

Section 4.10 Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made by a Foreign Guarantor in respect of a Guarantee will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which the relevant Foreign Guarantor is then incorporated or organized or resident for tax purposes, any jurisdiction from or through which payment on behalf of such Foreign Guarantor is made or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having

power to tax (other than the United States) (each, a “Tax Jurisdiction”), will at any time be required to be made from any payments made by or on behalf of the relevant Foreign Guarantor under its Guarantee, the relevant Foreign Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the respective amounts that would have been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

(i) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or the beneficial owner of the New Third Lien Secured Note or Guarantee (or between a fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, partner, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant Holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant Holder is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability company, unlimited liability company or corporation) and the relevant Tax Jurisdiction, other than by the mere acquisition or holding of any New Third Lien Secured Note or the enforcement or receipt of payment under or in respect of any New Third Lien Secured Note or Guarantee;

(ii) any Taxes imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of any New Third Lien Secured Note or Guarantee to comply with any written request, made to that Holder or beneficial owner within a reasonable period before any such withholding or deduction would be payable, by the Company or a Foreign Guarantor to provide timely or accurate information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or beneficial owner or to make any valid or timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any certification information or other reporting requirements (in each case, to the extent such Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so), which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of such Taxes;

(iii) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the presentation of any New Third Lien Secured Note or Guarantee for payment (where presentation is required) more than fifteen (15) days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder or beneficial owner (except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the New Third Lien Secured Note been presented on the last day of such fifteen (15) day period);

(iv) any estate, inheritance, gift, value added, sale, excise, transfer, personal property or similar tax or assessment;

(v) any Tax which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to any New Third Lien Secured Note or Guarantee;

(vi) any Tax imposed on or with respect to any payment by a Foreign Guarantor to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company, unlimited liability company or person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such Holder been the sole beneficial owner of such New Third Lien Secured Note or Guarantee;

(vii) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the presentation of any New Third Lien Secured Note or Guarantee for payment by or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of such New Third Lien Secured Notes or Guarantee who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant New Third Lien Secured Note or Guarantee to, or otherwise accepting payment from, another paying agent;

(viii) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations promulgated thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, any similar law or regulation adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code; or

(ix) any combination of the provisions in Section 4.10(a)(i) through Section 4.10(a)(viii) above.

(b) The relevant Foreign Guarantor will pay when due any present or future stamp, transfer, court or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes that arise in a Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the initial execution, delivery or registration of the Guarantees or any other document or instrument relating thereto (other than the New Third Lien Secured Notes).

(c) The relevant Foreign Guarantor will use reasonable efforts to furnish to the Holders, within a reasonable period of time after the due date for the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld pursuant to applicable law, either certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Foreign Guarantor (in such form as provided in the ordinary course by the relevant Tax Jurisdiction and as is reasonably available to the Foreign Guarantor), or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by such Foreign Guarantor reasonably satisfactory to the Holders.

Section 4.11 Ratings. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause, within sixty (60) days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which the New Third Lien Secured Notes are issued, the New Third Lien Secured Notes to receive a rating, but no specific rating, from two of S&P, Xxxxx’x or Xxxxx Ratings, Inc., or, if during such time none of such institutions shall be rating such obligations, an equivalent rating from another nationally recognized statistical rating agency (as described in Rule 436 under the Securities Act).

Section 4.12 Impairment of Security Interest.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiaries to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action or omission might reasonably or would (in the good faith determination of the Company), have the result of materially impairing the value of the security interests taken as a whole (including the lien priority with respect thereto) with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Third Lien Trustee and the holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes (including materially impairing the lien priority of the New Third Lien Secured Notes with respect thereto) (it being understood that any release described under Section 12.05 and the incurrence of Permitted Liens shall not be deemed to so materially impair the security interests with respect to the Collateral).

(b) At the direction of the Company and without the consent of the Holders, but subject to compliance with Section 9.06, the Collateral Agent and the Third Lien Trustee (or its agent or designee) shall from time to time enter into one or more amendments, extensions, renewals, restatements, supplements or other modifications or replacements to or of the Third Lien Security Documents to, but subject in all cases to the First Lien/Second Lien/Third Lien Intercreditor Agreements:

(i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes in any material respect;

(ii) add to the Collateral; or

(iii) make any other change thereto that does not adversely affect the Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes in any material respect.

Section 4.13 After-Pledged Property.

such New Third Liens to the extent required by the Third Lien Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, and having a third lien priority, subject only to Permitted Liens, and thereupon all provisions of the Third Lien Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to apply to such After-Pledged Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect as the then-existing Collateral.

Section 4.14 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they 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 Third Lien Indenture; and the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Third Lien Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.15 Additional Subsidiary Guarantors

(a) Any Person that becomes an obligor under the ABL/FILO Facility and any Refinancing or replacement Credit Facilities in respect thereof, and that is not an Excluded Subsidiary shall provide a Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 4.16 Maintenance of Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will maintain with insurance companies that the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable believes (in their respective good faith and judgment of the management of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable) are financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance with respect to their properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance which the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, believes (in the good faith judgment of management of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable) is reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and against at least such risks (and with such risk retentions) as the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable believes (in the good faith judgement or the management of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable) are reasonable and prudent in light of the size and nature of its business.

(a) If any Event of Default (other than of a type specified in Section 6.01(e) and Section 6.01(f) occurs and is Continuing under this Third Lien Indenture, the Third Lien Trustee by written notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then total outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes by written notice to the Company and the Third Lien Trustee may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the then outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default arising under Sections 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) hereof occurs and is Continuing, all outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice.

(b) [Reserved].

(c)

(i) If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action; and

(ii) any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Third Lien Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Third Lien Indenture.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Third Lien Indenture or in the New Third Lien Secured Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, in respect of the New Third Lien Secured Notes, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.03 shall, for the first one hundred and eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on the New Third Lien Secured Notes at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes outstanding for each day during the first ninety (90) calendar days on which such Event of Default is continuing (or, if earlier, the date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived as provided for in this Third Lien Indenture) beginning on, and including, the date on which such Event of Default first occurs and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes outstanding for each day from, and including, the 91st calendar day to, but excluding, the 180th calendar day after the occurrence of such an Event of Default during which such Event of Default is continuing (or, if earlier, the date on which such Event of Default is cured or waived as provided for in this Third Lien Indenture). If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as regular interest on the New Third Lien Secured Notes. On the one hundred and eighty first (181^st) day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.03 is not cured or waived prior to such one hundred and eighty first (181st day)), the New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in this Section 6.02. The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.03. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.02(d) or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in this Section 6.02.

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first one hundred and eighty (180) days after the occurrence of any Event of Default described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes, the Third Lien Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of such election prior to the beginning of such one hundred and eighty (180) day period. Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in this Section 6.02.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is Continuing, the Third Lien Trustee may pursue any available remedy (including a lawsuit for breach of contract) to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the New Third Lien Secured Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the New Third Lien Secured Notes, this Third Lien Indenture (including sums owed to the Third Lien Trustee, the Agents and their agents and counsel) and the Guarantees.

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes by written notice to the Third Lien Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the New Third Lien Secured Notes, waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences (including acceleration) under this Third Lien Indenture if such waiver, rescission or cancellation would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a Continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, New Third Lien Secured Notes (other than such nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due as a result of such acceleration, or with respect to the failure to deliver the consideration due upon conversion). Upon any such waiver, such Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Third Lien Indenture; but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

In the event of any Event of Default arising from Section 6.01(d), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any payment default on the Third Lien Obligations resulting from acceleration of the New Third Lien Secured Notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Third Lien Trustee or the Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes, if prior to twenty (20) days after such Event of Default arose, the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Third Lien Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the Holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has otherwise been cured.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

(a) Except as provided for in Section 6.05(b), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Third Lien Indenture or that the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent has an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability unless such Holders have offered to the Third Lien Trustee and Collateral Agent security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Prior to taking any action under this Third Lien Indenture, the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent will be entitled to security or indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses that may be caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

In case an Event of Default occurs and is Continuing, the Third Lien Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Third Lien Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Third Lien Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Third Lien Indenture or the New Third Lien Secured Notes unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Third Lien Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is Continuing or will occur upon notice and/or passage of time;

(b) Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes have requested (the “Requesting Holders”) in writing the Third Lien Trustee to pursue the remedy, which pursuit of the requested remedy may be conditioned upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in the future;

(c) such Requesting Holders have offered and if requested, provided the Third Lien Trustee security or indemnity in respect of any loss, liability or expense (which security or indemnity is reasonably acceptable to the Third Lien Trustee);

(d) the Third Lien Trustee has not complied with, or indicated in writing to the Requesting Holders that it will comply with, such request within ten (10) days after the receipt of the request and the offer (or provision) of security or indemnity; and

(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes have not given the Third Lien Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 10-day period.

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Third Lien Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the New Third Lien Secured Notes held by such Xxxxxx, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the New Third Lien Secured Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) occurs and is Continuing, the Third Lien Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as the Third Lien Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

Section 6.09 Third Lien Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Third Lien Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Third Lien Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Third Lien Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Collateral Agent and the Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes (pursuant to the written direction

of Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes) in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Third Lien Trustee and, in the event that the Third Lien Trustee will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes, to pay to the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Third Lien Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their agents and their counsel, and any other amounts due to the Third Lien Trustee and Collateral Agent under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Third Lien Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the New Third Lien Secured Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Third Lien Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

The Third Lien Trustee will pay out any money or property received by it in the following order:

First: to the Third Lien Trustee and the Agents for amounts due under Section 7.07;

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

Third: to the Company or, to the extent the Third Lien Trustee receives any amount for any Subsidiary Guarantor, to such Subsidiary Guarantor as a court of competent jurisdiction will direct.

The Third Lien Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes pursuant to this Section. At least fifteen (15) days before such record date, the Company (or Third Lien Trustee) will deliver to each Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes and the Third Lien Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Third Lien Indenture or in any suit against the Third Lien Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as such Third Lien 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 does not apply to a suit by wither Third Lien Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in outstanding principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

Section 6.12 Notice.

If a Default occurs and is Continuing and is actually known to the Third Lien Trustee, such Third Lien Trustee shall provide to each Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes notice of the Default within ninety (90) days after it is actually known to such Third Lien Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any New Third Lien Secured Note, the Third Lien Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding notice in the interest of the Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes. In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Third Lien Trustee, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date, a certificate regarding compliance with the Third Lien Indenture. The Company also shall deliver to the Third Lien Trustee within thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute a Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

ARTICLE VII

THIRD LIEN TRUSTEE AND COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 7.01 Duties of Third Lien Trustee and Collateral Agent.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing, the Third Lien Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Third Lien Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) With respect to the Third Lien Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, and at all times with respect to the Collateral Agent (regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is Continuing):

(i) the duties of the Third Lien Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Third Lien Indenture, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Third Lien Indenture and the Third Lien Security Agreements and the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Third Lien Indenture and the Third Lien Documents and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Third Lien Indenture or any other Third Lien Document against the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent (it being agreed that the permissive right of the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent to do things enumerated in this Third Lien Indenture or the Third Lien Documents shall not be construed as a duty); and

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on their part, the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Third Lien Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Third Lien Indenture. The Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be under no duty to make any investigation as to any statement contained in any such instance, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions. However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Third Lien Indenture and the Third Lien Documents (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

(ii) the Third Lien Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Third Lien Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) no Third Lien Trustee shall be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Third Lien Indenture and the Third Lien Documents, as applicable, that in any way relates to the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e) and (h) of this Section 7.01.

(e) No provision of this Third Lien Indenture shall require the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Third Lien Indenture or the Third Lien Documents at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, costs, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in connection with the request or direction.

(f) Money held in trust by the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(g) Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for interest or investment income on any money received by it except as the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company.

(h) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Third Lien Indenture, the First Lien/Second Lien/Third Lien Intercreditor Agreements, and any Third Lien Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent’s duties are ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Third Lien Trustee, any Holder, the Company or any other the Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Third Lien Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 7.02 Certain Rights of the Third Lien Trustee and Collateral Agent.

(a) The Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent need investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action they take or omit to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent may act through their attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care by them hereunder.

(g) Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Third Lien Indenture unless a Responsible Officer of the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such event is sent to the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with Section 14.02 hereof, and such notice references the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

(h) No Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith at the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Third Lien Trustee or Collateral Agent or the exercising of any power conferred by this Third Lien Indenture.

(i) Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent in good faith pursuant to this Third Lien Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is a Holder shall be conclusive and binding upon future Holders and upon New Third Lien Secured Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefor or in place thereof.

(j) Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes at the time outstanding.

(k) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent in each of its capacities hereunder, the Conversion Agent, each other Agent and to each officer, director, employee, agent and custodian of the Third Lien Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Conversion Agent, each other Agent and any other Person employed by the Third Lien Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Conversion Agent and each other Agent to act hereunder, and by such Persons when acting under any Third Lien Document.

(l) The Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Third Lien Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(m) In no event shall the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(n) Neither the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(o) Whenever in the administration of this Third Lien Indenture or the other Third Lien Documents, the Third Lien Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, the Third Lien Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on its part, as determined by a nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.

(p) Whenever in the administration of this Third Lien Indenture and the other Third Lien Documents, the Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action, making any determination or exercising any discretion hereunder or thereunder, the Collateral Agent may seek the direction of the Holders of a majority of principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes and shall have no liability for acting or refraining from acting in accordance therewith or for any delay in acting pending receipt of such instruction.

(q) Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter unless such fact or matter is known to a Responsible Officer of such Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. No Third Lien Trustee or Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have notice of any matter that any other Third Lien Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, has knowledge of, notwithstanding that the institution serving as the Third Lien Trustee and Collateral Agent may be the same or related entities.

(r) The Third Lien Trustee shall not be liable for any act, omission, breach, misconduct or liability whatsoever of the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any act, omission, breach, misconduct or liability whatsoever of the Third Lien Trustee. No Third Lien Trustee shall be liable for any act, omission, breach, misconduct or liability whatsoever of any other Third Lien Trustee.

(s) No Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any other Third Lien Trustee, or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Third Lien Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, the value thereof, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Third Lien Indenture, any Third Lien Security Document or the First Lien/Second Lien/Third Lien Intercreditor Agreements.

(t) No Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Agent will not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto (except as required under applicable law), and no Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto under the UCC, PPSA or otherwise or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Third Liens on the Collateral. The Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Third Lien Trustee and Collateral Agent.

Each of the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of New Third Lien Secured Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with, the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not a Third Lien Trustee or Collateral Agent. However, in the event that a Third Lien Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict within ninety (90) days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as a Third Lien Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Third Lien Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Third Lien Indenture or the Third Lien Documents, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the Proceeds from the New Third Lien Secured Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Third Lien Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent (other than itself when acting as Paying Agent), and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the New Third Lien Secured Notes or any other document in connection with the offer or issuance of the New Third Lien Secured Notes or pursuant to this Third Lien Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. In accepting the trusts hereby created, the Third Lien Trustee acts solely as the Third Lien Trustee for the Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes and not in its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes and the Company having any claim against the Third Lien Trustee arising from this Third Lien Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Third Lien Trustee hereunder for payment.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is Continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Third Lien Trustee, the Third Lien Trustee shall mail to Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes and the Collateral Agent a notice of the Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Third Lien Trustee or written notice of it is received by the Third Lien Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any New Third Lien Secured Note, the Third Lien Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

Section 7.06 Reports by Third Lien Trustee to Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

(a) Within sixty (60) days after each November 1 beginning with the November 1 following the date hereof, and for so long as New Third Lien Secured Notes remain outstanding, the Third Lien Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Third Lien Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Third Lien Trustee shall also transmit all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its transmission to the Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be transmitted to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the New Third Lien Secured Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Third Lien Trustee in writing when the New Third Lien Secured Notes are listed on any stock exchange or any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company shall pay to the Third Lien Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Conversion Agent (in each case, acting in any capacity hereunder or under the Third Lien Documents) from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company, the Third Lien Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Conversion Agent for its acceptance of this Third Lien Indenture and the Third Lien Documents and services hereunder and thereunder.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) notice of any default under the New Third Lien Secured Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.

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

(d) Except as set forth in Section 4.09. Section 10.02 and Article VIII, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder will not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and will not (to the extent lawful) be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein will not (to the extent lawful) be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Third Lien Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Third Lien Indenture, the New Third Lien Secured Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Third Lien Indenture, the New Third Lien Secured Notes, the Third Lien Security Agreements or any other Third Lien Documents; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder, any Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder, the Third Lien Trustee or the Collateral Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor; (vi) any change in the ownership of the Company; (vii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (viii) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

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

in each case, if (x) such disposition is permitted under the terms of this Third Lien Indenture, the New Third Lien Secured Notes and First Lien/Second Lien/Third Lien Intercreditor Agreements and (y) such disposition is not being made for the primary purpose of causing the release of the Subsidiary Guarantee;

100

(ii) if the Third Lien Obligations under this Third Lien Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Third Lien Indenture; or

(e) The release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee and its obligations under this Third Lien Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.02 will not preclude the future application of Section 4.15 to such Person.

ARTICLE XIII

CONVERSION OF NEW THIRD LIEN SECURED NOTES

Section 13.01 Conversion Privilege. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article XIII, each Holder of a New Third Lien Secured Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is in denominations of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such New Third Lien Secured Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 13.01(b), at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 30, 2029 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 13.01(b), and (ii) regardless of the conditions set forth in Section 13.01(b), at any time on or after May 30, 2029 and prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the maturity date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 83.3333 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article XIII, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 13.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).

(b) (i) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 30, 2029, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its New Third Lien Secured Notes for conversion at any time during the five consecutive Business Day period immediately following any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes in accordance with this Section 13.01(b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on each such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day. The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this Section 13.01(b)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Third Lien Indenture. The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in writing, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price) unless a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine (or if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine) the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If (x) the Company is not acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, and the Company does not instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, or if the Company instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination, or (y) the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent and the Company fails to make such determination when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes on any date shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each Trading Day of such failure. If the Trading Price condition set forth in this subsection (b)(i) has been met, the Company shall promptly so notify the Holders, the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee) in writing. If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth in this subsection (b)(i) has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for such date, the Company shall promptly so notify the Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes, the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee) in writing. At such time as the Company directs the Bid Solicitation Agent in writing to solicit bid quotations, the Company shall provide the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) with the names and contact details of the three independent nationally-recognized securities dealers selected by the Company, and the Company will direct those security dealers to provide bids to the Bid Solicitation Agent. The Company shall act as initial Bid Solicitation Agent but may appoint another Person (including one of the Company’s Affiliates) as Bid Solicitation Agent from time to time without prior notice to the Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

107

(ii) If, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 30, 2029, the Company elects to:

(1) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than in connection with a stockholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the announcement of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance; or

(2) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Company’s assets, securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,

then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes, with a copy to the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee), at least forty-five (45) Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its New Third Lien Secured Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, in each case, even if the New Third Lien Secured Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.

(iii) If (i) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 30, 2029, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the New Third Lien Secured Notes pursuant to Section 3.12, or (ii) if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its consolidated assets, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 30, 2029, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, then, in each case, all or any portion of a Holder’s New Third Lien Secured Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the anticipated effective date of such transaction or event (or, if later, the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such transaction or event pursuant to the succeeding sentence) until thirty-five (35) Trading Days after the effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction or event also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Payment Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee) (x) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction or event and in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction or event.

(iv) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 30, 2029, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its New Third Lien Secured Notes for conversion at any time during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2022 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day. The Company shall determine at the beginning of each

calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2022 whether the New Third Lien Secured Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this clause (iv) and shall notify the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee) if the New Third Lien Secured Notes become convertible in accordance with this clause (iv).

(v) If the Company calls any or all of the New Third Lien Secured Notes for redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 30, 2029, then a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its New Third Lien Secured Notes that have been called (or deemed called) for redemption for conversion at any time during the Redemption Period, even if the New Third Lien Secured Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time. After that time, the right to convert pursuant to this subsection (b)(v) shall expire, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes may convert all or any portion of its New Third Lien Secured Notes until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for. If the Company elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes and the Holder of any New Third Lien Secured Note (or any owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note) is reasonably not able to determine, before the Close of Business on the 44th Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the relevant redemption date, whether such New Third Lien Secured Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, is to be redeemed pursuant to such redemption, then such Holder or owner, as applicable, will be entitled to convert such New Third Lien Secured Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, at any time during the Redemption Period. If only a portion of a New Third Lien Secured Note is subject to redemption and that New Third Lien Secured Note is converted in part, then the converted portion of that New Third Lien Secured Note will be deemed to be from the portion of that New Third Lien Secured Note that was subject to redemption.

Section 13.02 Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Subject to this Section 13.02 and Section 13.07(a), upon conversion of any New Third Lien Secured Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 13.02 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 13.02 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 13.02.

(i) All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the Company’s issuance of a notice of redemption with respect to the New Third Lien Secured Notes and prior to the related redemption date, and all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after May 30, 2029 shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.

(ii) Except for any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the Company’s issuance of a notice of redemption with respect to the New Third Lien Secured Notes but prior to the related redemption date, and any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after May 30, 2029, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates.

(iii) If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs (x) during a Redemption Period, in such notice of redemption or (y) on or after May 30, 2029), the Company elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company, with a copy to the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee), shall deliver such Settlement Notice to converting Holders no later than the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date

109

(or, in the case of any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs (x) during a Redemption Period, in such notice of redemption or (y) on or after May 30, 2029, no later than the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding May 30, 2029). If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement with respect to such conversion or during such period and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Physical Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation. Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Physical Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes. If the Company delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be deemed to be $1,000.

(iv) The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

(1) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes being converted a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date;

(2) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the forty (40) consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(3) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the forty (40) consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.

(v) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall notify the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional shares of Common Stock. The Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(b) Subject to Section 13.02(e), before any Holder of a New Third Lien Secured Note shall be entitled to convert a New Third Lien Secured Note as set forth herein, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.02(h) and (ii) in the case of a Definitive Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile or electronic transmission

110

thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates or book-entry statements for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such New Third Lien Secured Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.02(h). The Third Lien Trustee (and, if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article XIII on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any New Third Lien Secured Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Xxxxxx has also delivered a Fundamental Change repurchase notice to the Company in respect of such New Third Lien Secured Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change repurchase notice in accordance with Section 3.12.

If more than one New Third Lien Secured Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

(c) A New Third Lien Secured Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the Close of Business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. Except as set forth in Section 13.07(a), the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Company elects Physical Settlement (provided that, with respect to any Conversion Date following the regular record date immediately preceding the maturity date where Physical Settlement applies to the related conversion, the Company shall settle any such conversion on the maturity date), or on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method. If any shares of Common Stock are due to converting Holders, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.

(d) In case any New Third Lien Secured Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Third Lien Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the New Third Lien Secured Note so surrendered a new New Third Lien Secured Note or New Third Lien Secured Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered New Third Lien Secured Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Third Lien Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new New Third Lien Secured Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old New Third Lien Secured Notes surrendered for such conversion.

(e) If a Holder submits a New Third Lien Secured Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver or refuse to instruct the stock transfer agent to deliver the certificates or book-entry statements representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Third Lien Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Xxxxxx in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) Except as provided in Section 13.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any New Third Lien Secured Note as provided in this Article XIII.

(g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Third Lien Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Third Lien Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Third Lien Trustee in writing of any conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Third Lien Trustee.

111

(h) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if New Third Lien Secured Notes are converted after the Close of Business on a regular record date and prior to the Open of Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, Holders of such New Third Lien Secured Notes as of the Close of Business on such regular record date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such New Third Lien Secured Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. New Third Lien Secured Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the Close of Business on any regular record date to the Open of Business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the New Third Lien Secured Notes so converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the regular record date immediately preceding the maturity date or any redemption date; (2) if the Company has specified a redemption date that is after a regular record date and on or prior to the second Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Payment Date that is after a regular record date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exists at the time of conversion with respect to such New Third Lien Secured Note. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the regular record date immediately preceding the maturity date, any redemption date or any Fundamental Change Payment Date as described in the immediately preceding sentence shall receive the full interest payment due on the maturity date or other applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether their New Third Lien Secured Notes have been converted following such regular record date.

(i) The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Combination Settlement), as the case may be. Upon a conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such New Third Lien Secured Notes surrendered for conversion.

(j) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the New Third Lien Secured Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). For each New Third Lien Secured Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected (or is deemed to have elected) Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

Section 13.03 [Reserved].

Section 13.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the New Third Lien Secured Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 13.04, without having to convert their New Third Lien Secured Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of New Third Lien Secured Notes held by such Holder.

112

(a) If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,


CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as the case may be;

OS₀		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as the case may be; and

OS₁		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as the case may be.

Any adjustment made under this Section 13.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 13.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stockholders rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than forty-five (45) calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,


CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS₀		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

X		= the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y		= the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

113

Any increase made under this Section 13.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 13.04(b) and Section 13.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Company.

(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 13.04(a) or Section 13.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 13.04(d), (iii) distributions of Reference Property in exchange for Common Stock in a transaction described in Section 13.07, (iv) rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan of the Company (other than pursuant to Section 13.11 pursuant to which an adjustment was effected) and (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 13.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,


CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP₀		= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV		= the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 13.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as

114

defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a New Third Lien Secured Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution. If the Company determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 13.04(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,


CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;

CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

FMV₀		= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP₀		= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The increase in the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes during the Valuation Period, references in the portion of this Section 13.04(c) related to Spin-Offs with respect to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. If the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off is after the 10th Trading Day immediately preceding, and including, the end of any Observation Period in respect of a conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes, references in the portion of this Section 13.04(c) related to Spin-Offs to ten (10) Trading Days will be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

For purposes of this Section 13.04(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 13.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this

115

Section 13.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 13.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Third Lien Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 13.04(a), Section 13.04(b) and this Section 13.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 13.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 13.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 13.04(a) and Section 13.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 13.04(b).

(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

116


CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP₀		= the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

C		= the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

Any increase pursuant to this Section 13.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP₀” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a New Third Lien Secured Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,


CR₀		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR₁		= the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC		= the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Company) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS₁		= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP₁		= the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

117

The increase in the Conversion Rate under this Section 13.04(e) shall occur at the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes within the ten (10) Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires, references in this Section 13.04(e) with respect to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender or exchange offer expires and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. In addition, if the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires is after the 10th Trading Day immediately preceding, and including, the end of any Observation Period in respect of a conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes, references in this Section 13.04(e) to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period.

In the event that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer described in this clause (e) but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or any such purchase is rescinded, the applicable Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had not been made only in respect of the purchases that have been effected.

(f) Notwithstanding this Section 13.04 or any other provision of this Third Lien Indenture or the New Third Lien Secured Notes, if the Company has elected Physical Settlement in respect of a conversion and a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a Holder that has converted its New Third Lien Secured Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 13.02(i) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 13.04, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(g) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. If the application of the formulas set forth in clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 13.04 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no such adjustment shall be made.

(h) If (i) the Company elects (or is deemed to elect) Combination Settlement and shares of Common Stock are deliverable to settle the Daily Settlement Amount for a given Trading Day within the applicable Observation Period; (ii) any distribution or transaction described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 13.04 has not yet resulted in an adjustment to the applicable Conversion Rate on the Trading Day in question; and (iii) the shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of such Trading Day are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because they were not held on a related record date or otherwise), then the Company shall adjust the number of shares of Common Stock that it delivers in respect of the relevant Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.

(i) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 13.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days if the Company determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the

118

applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each New Third Lien Secured Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register (with a copy to the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent, if other than the Third Lien Trustee) a notice of the increase at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XIII, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the New Third Lien Secured Notes were first issued;

(iv) upon the issuance of guarantees issued in respect of outstanding securities of the Company;

(v) solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(vi) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(k) All calculations and other determinations under this Article XIII (including any adjusted Conversion Rate) shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share, with five one-hundred-thousandths rounded upward.

(l) If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate otherwise required by this Section 13.04 would result in a change of less than 1% to the Conversion Rate, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its election, defer and carry forward such adjustment, except that all such deferred adjustments must be given effect immediately upon the earliest to occur of the following: (i) when all such deferred adjustments would result in an aggregate change of at least 1% to the Conversion Rate, (ii) on the Conversion Date for any New Third Lien Secured Notes (in the case of Physical Settlement), (iii) on each Trading Day of any Observation Period related to any conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) and (iv) on the effective date of any Fundamental Change, in each case, unless the adjustment has already been made.

(m) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Third Lien Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Third Lien Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Third Lien Trustee shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, the Third Lien Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at its last address appearing on the Note Register of this Third Lien Indenture. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

119

(n) For purposes of this Section 13.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(o) The Company shall not take any action that would cause the Conversion Price applicable to the New Third Lien Secured Notes to fall below the par value of the Common Stock.

Section 13.05 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Third Lien Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including an Observation Period), the Company shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or expiration date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.

The Company shall make all calculations called for under the New Third Lien Secured Notes. The calculations shall include, but not be limited to, determinations of the stock price, the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily Conversion Values, the Daily Settlement Amounts, accrued interest payable on the New Third Lien Secured Notes and the conversation rate of the New Third Lien Secured Notes. The Company shall make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, the Company’s calculations shall be final and binding on each Holder. The Company shall provide a schedule of the calculations to each of the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of the calculations without independent verification. The Company shall forward the calculations to any Holder upon the request of that Xxxxxx.

Section 13.06 Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the New Third Lien Secured Notes from time to time as such New Third Lien Secured Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such New Third Lien Secured Notes would be converted by a single Holder and that Physical Settlement is applicable).

Section 13.07 Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.

(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or changes in par value or to no par value),

(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”, with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one

120

share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Third Lien Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 9.01(p) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (A) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes in accordance with Section 13.02 and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the New Third Lien Secured Notes in accordance with Section 13.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the New Third Lien Secured Notes in accordance with Section 13.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Merger Event and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the New Third Lien Secured Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. If the holders of Common Stock receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Merger Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date, multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article XIII. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes as the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Section 3.12.

(b) When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 13.07, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Third Lien Trustee an Officer’s Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this Third Lien Indenture, within twenty (20) days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 13.07. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes to convert its New Third Lien Secured Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as set forth in Section 13.01 and Section 13.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.

(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

121

Section 13.08 Certain Covenants. (a) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the SEC, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

Section 13.09 Responsibility of Third Lien Trustee. The Third Lien Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Third Lien Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any New Third Lien Secured Note; and the Third Lien Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any New Third Lien Secured Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Third Lien Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 13.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their New Third Lien Secured Notes after any event referred to in such Section 13.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in conclusively relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Third Lien Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Third Lien Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 13.01(b) has occurred that makes the New Third Lien Secured Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 13.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 13.01(b).

Section 13.10 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any:

(a) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.04 or Section 13.11;

(b) Merger Event; or

122

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Third Lien Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Third Lien Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Third Lien Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder at its address appearing on the Note Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least twenty (20) days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. For the avoidance of doubt, no failure to comply with this Section 13.10 shall be an Event of Default unless the 30-day period provided for in Section 6.01(c) has run and such Event of Default shall not have been cured prior to the expiration of such 30-day period.

Section 13.11 Stockholder Rights Plans. To the extent the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the New Third Lien Secured Notes, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates and book-entry statements representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of New Third Lien Secured Notes, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan so that the Holders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the New Third Lien Secured Notes, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock Distributed Property as provided in Section 13.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

Section 13.12 Limit on Company Actions that Increases the Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Third Lien Indenture, the Company will not take any action that would result in an increase in the Conversion Rate by an amount in excess of limitations imposed by any shareholder approval rules or listing standards of any national or regional securities exchange that are applicable to the Company, without previously obtaining shareholder approval of such action.

126

Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Third Lien Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Third Lien Trustee and the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.14.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.14, the principal amount and serial numbers of New Third Lien Secured Notes held by any Holder, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the register of the New Third Lien Secured Notes maintained by the Registrar as provided in Section 2.04 hereof.

Notwithstanding TIA § 316(c), such record date shall not be earlier than the date thirty (30) days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders forwarded to the Third Lien Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the Close of Business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the then outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the then outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Third Lien Indenture not later than ninety (90) days after the record date.

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any New Third Lien Secured Note shall bind every future Holder of the same New Third Lien Secured Note and the Holder of every New Third Lien Secured Note issued upon the registration or transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Third Lien Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such New Third Lien Secured Note.

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular New Third Lien Secured Note may do so itself with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such New Third Lien Secured Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

Section 14.15 Benefit of Indenture.

Nothing, in this Third Lien Indenture or in the New Third Lien Secured Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any Registrar, any Conversion Agent and its successors hereunder, and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Third Lien Indenture.

Interest on the New Third Lien Secured Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this New Third Lien Secured 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 as set forth on the face hereof. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the New Third Lien Secured Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of New Third Lien Secured Notes at the Close of Business on the record date set forth on the face hereof immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such New Third Lien Secured Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Third Lien Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The New Third Lien Secured Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other New Third Lien Secured Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall 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.

Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Third Lien Trustee under the Third Lien Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

Third Lien Indenture. The Company issued the New Third Lien Secured Notes under the Third Lien Indenture dated as of [•] among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Third Lien Trustee and the Collateral Agent. The terms of the New Third Lien Secured Notes include those stated in the Third Lien Indenture and those made part of the Third Lien Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The New Third Lien Secured Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Third Lien Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this New Third Lien Secured Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Third Lien Indenture, the provisions of the Third Lien Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Optional Redemption. On or after the one year anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a part of the New Third Lien Secured Notes upon not less than forty-five (45) nor more than sixty-five (65) days’ notice, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the Conversion Price then in effect for at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending on, and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, at the Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes to be redeemed, plus

132

accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the New Third Lien Secured Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, unless the redemption date falls after a regular record date but on or prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date, in which case we will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the Holder of record as of the Close of Business on such regular record date, and the Redemption Price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes to be redeemed.

In connection with certain Asset Sales, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer as and when provided in accordance with Section 4.07 of the Third Lien Indenture.

Selection and Notice of Redemption. If less than all of the New Third Lien Secured Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Third Lien Trustee shall select the New Third Lien Secured Notes for redemption or purchase as follows: if the New Third Lien Secured Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the New Third Lien Secured Notes are listed as certified to the Third Lien Trustee by the Company, and in compliance with the requirements of DTC or, if the New Third Lien Secured Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered), by lot or by such method as the Third Lien Trustee deems fair and appropriate in accordance with DTC procedures subject to adjustments so that no New Third Lien Secured Note in any unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such redemption. No New Third Lien Secured Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail or electronically or otherwise in accordance with DTC procedures at least forty-five (45) but not more than sixty-five (65) days before the redemption date to each Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than sixty-five (65) days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a satisfaction and discharge of the Third Lien Indenture As long as the New Third Lien Secured Notes are issued in global form, notices to be given to Holders will be given to DTC, in accordance with its applicable policies as in effect from time to time. Any notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. If any New Third Lien Secured Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that New Third Lien Secured Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new New Third Lien Secured Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original New Third Lien Secured Note will be issued (or cause to be transferred by book entry) in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original New Third Lien Secured Note. New Third Lien Secured Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. Subject to Section 3.05 of the Third Lien Indenture, on and after the redemption date, interest, if any, ceases to accrue on New Third Lien Secured Notes or portions of New Third Lien Secured Notes called for redemption.

Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The New Third Lien Secured Notes are in registered form without interest coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of New Third Lien Secured Notes may be registered and New Third Lien Secured Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Third Lien Indenture. The Registrar and the Third Lien Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Third Lien Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any New Third Lien Secured Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any New Third Lien Secured Note prior to a selection of a New Third Lien Secured Note to be redeemed or tendered and not withdrawn in connection with a Fundamental Change Offer or an Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, or between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or a special record date and the next succeeding special payment date.

133

10.	Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a New Third Lien Secured Note will be treated as its owner for all purposes.

11.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.

12.

Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that are a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is Continuing, the Third Lien Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes may declare all the New Third Lien Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company (and in the case of the Holders, to the Third Lien Trustee and the Company) specifying the Event of Default. Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes may not enforce the Third Lien Indenture or the New Third Lien Secured Notes except as provided in the Third Lien Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding New Third Lien Secured Notes may direct the Third Lien Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Third Lien Trustee may withhold from Holders of the New Third Lien Secured Notes notice of any Continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the New Third Lien Secured Notes then outstanding by notice to the Third Lien Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the New Third Lien Secured Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Third Lien Indenture except a Continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

13.

Third Lien Trustee Dealings with Company.

14.

No Recourse Against Others.

Each Holder of New Third Lien Secured Notes by accepting a New Third Lien Secured Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the New Third Lien Secured Notes.

15.	Authentication. This New Third Lien Secured Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Third Lien Trustee or an authenticating agent.

16.

CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the New Third Lien Secured Notes and the Third Lien Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.
