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

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

(ii) there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and a holder requests that its beneficial interests in the applicable Global Note be exchanged for a Definitive Note in writing delivered through the Depositary.

Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in clauses (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any authorized denomination, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.09. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.09, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the events in clauses (i) or (ii) above and pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii)(B) and Section 2.06(c). A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c).

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.

(vii) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 3.04, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

(viii) At the option of the Holder, subject to Section 2.06(a), Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes to which the Holder making the exchange is entitled in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

(ix) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or by electronic transmission or mail.

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or incur any liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) furnishes to the Issuer and the Trustee satisfactory evidence that such Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the Trustee in writing prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”), (c) furnishes to each of the Issuer and the Trustee indemnification satisfactory to each, and

42

(d) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee; provided, however, if after the delivery of such replacement Note, a protected purchaser of the Note for which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such replaced Note, the Trustee and/or the Issuer shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from the Person to whom it was issued and delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the (i) Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar, from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Issuer may require that such Holder pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

Subject to the proviso in the initial paragraph of this Section 2.07, every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07, in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, any Guarantor (if applicable) and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

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

SECTION 2.08 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.07 and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding in the event the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining which are outstanding for consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of Section 12.05 shall apply and (ii) in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making a determination whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes are present at a meeting of Holders of Notes for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be held by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall not be considered outstanding.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement pursuant to Section 2.07.

43

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09 Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form, and shall carry all rights, of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate Definitive Notes. After the preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency maintained by the Issuer for that purpose and such exchange shall be without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor, one or more Definitive Notes representing an equal principal amount of Notes. Until so exchanged, the Holder of temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as a Holder of Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.10 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such Notes in accordance with its then internal policies and customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee). If the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Debt represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.10. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned by DTC to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes, transferred in exchange for an interest in another Global Note, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

SECTION 2.11 Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular Record Date for such payment at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable (and such nonpayment continues beyond the applicable cure period set forth in Section 6.01(a)(ii)) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular Record Date, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes and as provided in Section 6.03 (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein, including any interest required to be paid under Section 6.03, collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

44

(a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 2.11(a). Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which date shall be not more than 20 calendar days and not less than 15 calendar days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 12.01, not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the provisions in Section 2.11(b).

(b) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 2.12 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP and “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP and ISIN numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

SECTION 2.13 Committed Notes.

(a) The Issuer may on two occasions, subject only to the terms and conditions set forth in and pursuant to this Section 2.13 and in Article 9 of the Note Purchase Agreement, issue 9.50% Unsecured PIK Toggle Notes due 2026 under this Indenture in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed

45

(in the aggregate for both such occasions) $50,000,000 (the “Committed Notes”). The Committed Notes shall rank pari passu with the existing Notes and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the existing Notes and shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than, if applicable, with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and transfer restrictions; provided that the Committed Notes will not be issued with the same CUSIP, if any, as any Notes then existing unless such Committed Notes are fungible with such Notes then existing for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committed Notes shall constitute “Notes” under this Indenture.

(b) On any Subsequent Closing Date, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Issuer Order, Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel for the Committed Notes to be issued on such Subsequent Closing Date specifying the aggregate principal amount of Committed Notes to be issued and authenticated on such Subsequent Closing Date and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the conditions set forth in this Indenture and Article 9 of the Note Purchase Agreement with respect to the issuance of the Committed Notes have been satisfied or waived. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate in authenticating Committed Notes.

SECTION 2.14 Junior Subordinated Indentures. The Issuer hereby designates the Note Obligations “Senior Debt” under, and as defined in, the Junior Subordinated Indentures.

(vii) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $1.00 or any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess of $1.00;

(viii) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that a definitive agreement is in place for such Change of Control and the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and that the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such condition shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) (including more than 60 days after the date such notice was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission), and that such Change of Control Payment Date may not occur and that such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied.

ARTICLE V

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 5.01 Notices and Opinions to Trustee.

(a) If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 5.07, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least three (3) days but not more than 60 days before a

Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

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

(ii) the Redemption Date;

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

(iv) the redemption price.

Any optional redemption referenced in such Officer’s Certificate may be canceled by the Issuer at any time prior to notice of redemption being sent to any Holder and thereafter shall be null and void.

SECTION 5.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes for redemption in compliance with the requirements of DTC, or if the Notes are not held through DTC or DTC prescribes no method of selection, on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustments so that no Note in an unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such redemption; provided, however, that no Note of $1.00 in aggregate principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part.

SECTION 5.03 Notice of Redemption.

(a) At least three (3) days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer will send or cause to be sent, by electronic delivery or by first class mail postage prepaid, a notice of redemption to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) whose Notes are to be redeemed at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the DTC, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles VIII or XI.

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

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the redemption price;

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

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

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

65

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

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

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

(ix) any conditions to redemption.

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

(d) At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and expense; provided, however, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Trustee) before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.03, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice, which shall include a form of the notice setting forth the information provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5.03.

SECTION 5.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 5.03 and any conditions to redemption set forth in such notice have been satisfied or waived by the Issuer, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price. Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a corporate transaction (including without limitation a financing transaction) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related transaction. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

SECTION 5.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer will irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

66

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 3.03.

SECTION 5.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1.00 or integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof.

SECTION 5.07 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to the First Call Date, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, upon notice in accordance with Section 5.03, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption (or acceleration in accordance with Section 6.02) (the “Redemption Date”) (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

(b) At any time and from time to time on and after the First Call Date, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, upon notice in accordance with Section 5.03, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the percentage of principal amount set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed (or accelerated in accordance with Section 6.02) during the twelve-month period beginning on February 23 of the year indicated below:

(c) Except pursuant to paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 5.07, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Issuer.

(d) Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable Redemption Date.

(e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.01 through 5.06.

(f) Upon any Acceleration Event, the Specified Premium shall be immediately due and payable and all principal, interest, the Specified Premium and any other premiums or amounts, shall be paid pursuant to Section 5.07(a) (if such Acceleration Event occurs prior to the First Call Date) or pursuant to Section 5.07(b) (if such Acceleration Event occurs on or after the First Call Date) as if the Notes were redeemed at the time of such Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 5.07(a) or 5.07(b), as applicable, irrespective of whether the Note Obligations are paid, prepaid, repaid, redeemed, or otherwise satisfied or discharged (in whole or in part) pursuant to a plan of reorganization or otherwise.

67

SECTION 5.08 Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes under Section 3.05. The Issuer may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

Best Company, has been notified, and has not disputed the claim made for payment, of the amount of such judgment or order; or

(h) Non-Monetary Judgments.

(i) Unenforceability of Note Documents. Any provision of any Note Document after delivery thereof shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against any Note Party which is party to it, or any such Note Party shall so state in writing; or

69

(j) ERISA Events. Any ERISA Event shall have occurred and the aggregate liability to the Note Parties and the ERISA Affiliates that has resulted, or is reasonably expected to result, out of, in connection with or from such ERISA Event and any other ERISA Events which shall have occurred and then exist exceeds $10,000,000.

SECTION 6.02 Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(f) with respect to the Issuer or The Parent Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, (x) the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer may declare, or (y) the Applicable Holders, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable immediately.

(b) If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(f) with respect to the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

(c) If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including an Event of Default under Section 6.01(f)) (each an “Acceleration Event”), Holders will be entitled to the payment of all amounts (including, without limitation, the Specified Premium) that would have been due upon redemption of the Notes if the Issuer redeemed the Notes at its option at the time of such Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 5.07(a) (if such Acceleration Event occurs prior to the First Call Date) or pursuant to Section 5.07(b) (if such Acceleration Event occurs on or after the First Call Date). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if an Acceleration Event occurs, the Specified Premium with respect to a redemption of the Notes shall also be due and payable at the time of such Acceleration Event as though the Notes had been redeemed in full at the time of such Acceleration Event and shall constitute part of the Note Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s loss as a result thereof. Interest shall accrue (at the default rate provided under Section 6.03, and compounding on each Interest Payment Date) on the full aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including on the Specified Premium) from and after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, including in connection with an Event of Default under Section 6.01(f). The Specified Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Holder of the Notes as the result of the acceleration of the Notes and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Specified Premium shall also be payable in the event the Notes (and/or this Indenture) are satisfied, released or discharged by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar means. THE ISSUER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Issuer expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (i) the Specified Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (ii) the Specified Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Holders of the Notes and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Specified Premium; and (iv) the Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this clause (c). The Issuer expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Specified Premium to the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to purchase the Notes.

70

SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies.

Prior to the Disposition Date, at any time when an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or (f) exists, interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall accrue (x) on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding at a rate that is 2.00% per annum above the rate then borne by the Notes and (y) on overdue interest or other amounts at a rate that is 2.00% per annum above the rate then borne by the principal outstanding to which such interest or other amount relates. From and after the Disposition Date, at any time when an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(f) exists, any overdue amounts shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at a rate that is 2.00% per annum above the rate then borne by (in the case of such principal) such amount of principal outstanding or (in the case of interest or other amount) the amount of principal outstanding to which such interest or other amount relates. Any additional interest that accrues by virtue of the operation of this Section 6.03 shall be payable in cash on demand and, to the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 2.15.

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

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

SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Required Holders by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, (a) waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on a Note or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended or modified without the consent of each Holder affected, in each case, which may be waived with the consent of each Holder affected and (b) rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (2) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, premium, if any, and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, including any additional interest required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.03, (4) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and advances in accordance with Section 7.07 and (5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (e) of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

71

SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. The Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Notes or, subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any actions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall receive indemnification satisfactory to it against all losses, claims, costs, liabilities and expenses that may be caused by taking or not taking such action.

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

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

(ii) the Applicable Holders have requested in writing to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holders have offered in writing to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, claim, cost, liability or expense;

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

(v) the Required Holders have not given the Trustee a written direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

SECTION 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.06), the contractual right expressly set forth in the Note Documents of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer 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 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The 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 the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer’s Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered to participate as a

72

member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and may vote on behalf of the Holders 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 Trustee and, in the event that such payments shall be made directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10 Priorities.

(a) If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due to it under Section 7.07;

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

THIRD: without duplication, to the GS Purchasers for any other Note Obligations owing to the GS Purchasers under the Note Documents; and

FOURTH: to the Issuer, or to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

(b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

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

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

73

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

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth as duties of the Trustee in this Indenture, the Notes or the other Note Documents and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates, opinions or orders furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture or the other Note Documents, as the case may be. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, or the other Note Documents, as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly 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 7.01;

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

(iv) No provision of this Indenture or the other Note Documents shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest or investment income on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

SECTION 7.02 Rights of Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01:

(a) The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture or other paper or document (whether in its original, electronic or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee shall receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Issuer as provided herein, but shall have no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements, or any other document or information, to determine compliance with covenants or other obligations of the Issuer.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel relating to this Indenture or the other Note Documents shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Notes in good faith and in reliance on the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee from the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% of the Notes at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee specified in Section 3.04, and such notice states that such event constitutes a Default or Event of Default under the Notes and this Indenture, and in the absence of any such notice, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively assume that no such Default or Event of Default exists.

(g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and shall extend to the Trustee’s officers, directors, attorneys, employees, agents, custodians and other Persons employed to act hereunder.

75

(h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the other Note Documents at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, claims, losses, liabilities and expenses which may be incurred therein or thereby.

(i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter unless such fact or matter is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee and such Trust Officer actually knows how such fact or matter pertains to this Indenture or the Notes.

(j) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture or the other Note Documents the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) shall be entitled to, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.

(k) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine, during business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books, records and premises of the Note Parties, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(l) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(o) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by one Responsible Officer of the Issuer.

(p) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated hereunder shall not be construed as duties.

SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10. In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuer; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest or resign.

76

SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes, shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall send electronically or by first class mail to each Holder at the address set forth in the Notes Register notice of the Default or Event of Default within 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to the optional redemption or required repurchase provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

SECTION 7.06 [Reserved].

SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services hereunder and under the other Note Documents as the Issuer and the Trustee shall, from time to time, agree, in writing, and during the occurrence of any Event of Default, in accordance with the Trustee’s then-current fee schedule for default administration. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs and expenses of collection, costs and expenses of preparing reports, certificates and other documents, costs and expenses of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and costs and expenses incurred in performing its services under this Indenture. Such costs and expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the agents, counsel, accountants and experts of the Trustee. The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all fees, costs, loss, liability, damages, claims or expenses, including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee) (including reasonable attorneys’ and agents’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, on its part in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Notes, including the fees, costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.07) and the Notes and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received written notice. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s and Guarantors’ expense in the defense. The Trustee shall have the right to employ separate counsel of its selection in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that the Trustee may only employ separate counsel at the expense of the Issuer if in the judgment of the Trustee (i) a conflict of interest exists or potentially exists by reason of common representation or (ii) there are legal defenses available to the Trustee that are different from or are in addition to those available to the Issuer or if all parties commonly represented do not agree as to the action (or inaction) of counsel.

77

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee (other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and premium and interest on the Notes). Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Trustee’s respective right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.07 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Debt of the Issuer.

The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs fees, expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f), the fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Debtor Relief Law.

SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Required Holders may remove the Trustee by so notifying the removed Trustee in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such removal and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

or

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

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

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder, who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall have no liability for any action or inaction of any successor Trustee.

78

SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall only apply to its successor or successors by merger, consolidation or conversion.

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent annual report of condition.

SECTION 7.11 Trustee’s Application for Instruction from the Issuer. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any Responsible Officer of the Issuer actually receive such application, unless any such Responsible Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

ARTICLE VIII

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance; Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article VIII.

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

79

(i) the rights of Holders of Notes issued under this Indenture to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust referred to in Section 8.04;

(ii) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Article II concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Section 3.04 concerning the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

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

(iv) this Article VIII with respect to provisions relating to Legal Defeasance.

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

SECTION 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 3.01 (other than Sections 3.01(a), 3.05, 3.09, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.17, 3.19, 3.20, 3.21 and 3.22 and Article IV (except Sections 4.04 and 4.15) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein or therein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or therein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified in this Section 8.03, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(b) 6.01(c) (solely with respect to the defeased covenants listed above), 6.01(d) (solely with respect to the defeased covenants listed above), 6.01(e), 6.01(g), 6.01(h) and 6.01(j) shall not constitute Events of Default.

SECTION 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03:

(i) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes issued under this Indenture on the Final Maturity Date or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to the Final Maturity Date or to a particular Redemption Date;

80

(ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the issuance of such Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, and in either case of clause (i) or (ii) stating that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Notes, in their capacity as Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Notes, as applicable, will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Notes, in their capacity as Holders and Beneficial Owners of the Notes, as applicable, will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(iv) no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the First Lien Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(vi) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying, defrauding or preferring any creditors of the Issuer; and

(vii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

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

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

81

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

SECTION 8.06 Repayment to the Issuer. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustees thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

SECTION 8.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS

SECTION 9.01 Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to its Note Guarantee), as applicable, and the Trustee may amend, supplement or modify this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder if such amendment, supplement or modification is made (x) prior to the Disposition Date for any purposes set forth in clause (vi) below and (y) from and after the Disposition Date, for any purpose set forth in clauses (i) through (ix) below:

(i) to (x) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect, error or inconsistency or (y) reduce the minimum denomination of the Notes;

(ii) to provide for the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Issuer or a Guarantor under any Note Document in accordance with Section 4.04;

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

82

(iv) to add to the covenants or provide for a Note Guarantee for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor;

(v) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect;

(vi) to provide for any Subsidiary to provide a Note Guarantee in respect of the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release, termination, discharge or retaking of any guarantee when such release, termination, discharge or retaking is provided for under this Indenture or the other Note Documents, as applicable;

(vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements hereof or to provide for the accession by the Trustee to any Note Document;

(viii) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including to facilitate the issuance and administration of Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes in any material respect; or

(ix) to secure the Notes.

Subject to Section 9.02, upon the request of the Issuer, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 9.06 and 12.03, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors, if applicable, in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Note Documents unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the Note Documents or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the Note Documents.

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

SECTION 9.02 With Consent of Holders.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors (with respect to their Note Guarantee), as applicable, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and issued under this Indenture, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Required Holders (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). Section 2.12 and Section 12.05 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02.

83

Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06 and Section 12.03, the Trustee will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors, if applicable, in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to this Indenture or such other Note Documents unless such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to this Indenture or such other Note Documents affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement to the this Indenture or such other Note Documents.

(b) Without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

(i) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

(ii) reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any such Note; provided that any amendment to the provisions of Section 3.05 may be made with the consent of the Required Holders;

(iii) reduce the principal of, or extend the maturity date of, any Note;

(iv) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any such Note or change the time at which any such Note may be redeemed, in each case as set forth in Section 5.07; provided that any amendment to the notice requirements relating to a redemption of Notes may be made with the consent of the Required Holders;

(v) make any such Note payable in currency other than that stated in such Note;

(vi) impair the contractual right expressly set forth in the Note Documents of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(vii) waive a Default or Event of Default with respect to the nonpayment of principal, premium or interest (except pursuant to a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(viii) except as set forth in Article XIII, expressly subordinate the Notes or any Note Guarantee in right of payment to any Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor;

(ix) release all or substantially all of the value of the Note Guarantees of the Guarantors (except as expressly provided in the Note Documents); or

(x) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions which require the Holders’ consent described in this Section 9.02.

84

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of the Notes given in connection with a tender or exchange of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange.

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

SECTION 9.03 Note Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in in Section 9.01 or 9.02 or otherwise in this Article IX, this Article IX (other than this Section 9.03) shall not apply to the Note Purchase Agreement, it being understood that the Note Purchase Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the terms thereof may be waived, in each case, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Section 9.04 or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

SECTION 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is valid, binding and enforceable against the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms.

85

ARTICLE X

GUARANTEE

SECTION 10.01 Note Guarantee; Limitation of Liability.

(a) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Note Obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Notes and the other Note Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Note Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (all such Note Obligations being the “Guaranteed Note Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Trustee, any Holder or any other holder of Note Obligations in enforcing any rights under this Indenture or any other Note Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Note Obligations and would be owed by the Issuer to the Trustee, any Holder or any other holder of Note Obligations under or in respect of the Note Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Note Party. This Note Guarantee is and constitutes a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.

(b) Each Guarantor and Note Guarantee Beneficiary confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Note Guarantee and the Note Obligations of each Guarantor under this Note Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Note Guarantee and the Note Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and Note Guarantee Beneficiary hereby irrevocably agree that the Note Obligations of each Guarantor under this Note Guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Note Obligations of such Guarantor under this Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Note Guarantee Beneficiary under this Note Guarantee or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Note Guarantee Beneficiaries under or in respect of the Note Documents.

SECTION 10.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Note Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the other Note Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Note Guarantee Beneficiary. The Note Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Note Guarantee are independent of the Guaranteed Note Obligations or any other Note Obligations of any other Note Party under or in respect of this Indenture or any other Note Document, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Note Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Issuer or any other Note Party or whether the Issuer or any other Note Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Note Guarantee shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

86

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Note Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations or any other Note Obligations of any other Note Party under or in respect of the Note Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Note Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Note Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Issuer, any other Note Party or any of their Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(iii) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations;

(iv) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations or any other Note Obligations of any Note Party under the Note Documents or any other assets of any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(v) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vi) any failure of any Note Guarantee Beneficiary to disclose to any Note Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Note Party now or hereafter known to such Note Guarantee Beneficiary (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of any Note Guarantee Beneficiary to disclose such information);

(vii) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Indenture or any other Note Document, any Guarantor Supplemental Indenture or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Note Obligations; or

(viii) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Note Guarantee Beneficiary that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Note Party or any other guarantor or surety;

(ix) This Note Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Note Guarantee Beneficiary or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or any other Note Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

87

SECTION 10.03 Waivers and Acknowledgments.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations and this Note Guarantee and any requirement that any Note Guarantee Beneficiary secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Note Party or any other Person or any collateral.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right (including without limitation any such right arising under California Civil Code Section 2815) to revoke this Note Guarantee and acknowledges that this Note Guarantee is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Note Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any and all rights and defenses available to it by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code, including without limitation any and all rights or defenses such Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to the principal with respect to any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations, or to any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations with respect to any of such guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee, in either case pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging the principal’s indebtedness or such guarantor’s obligations, including without limitation Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, (ii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Note Guarantee Beneficiary that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Note Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any collateral and (iii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Note Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. No other provision of this Note Guarantee shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this Section 10.03(c). As provided below, this Note Guarantee shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This Section 10.03(c) is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Note Guarantee or to any of the Guaranteed Note Obligations.

(d) Each Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Note Party or any of its assets in connection with this Note Guarantee or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute (including without limitation under California Civil Code Section 2847, 2848 or 2849), under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any such Note Party, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Note Guarantee Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Note Party, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Note Guarantee Beneficiary.

(e) Each Guarantor acknowledges that any Note Guarantee Beneficiary may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Note Guarantee, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by any Note Guarantee Beneficiary against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(f) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Note Guarantee Beneficiary to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Issuer, any other Note Party or any of their Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Note Guarantee Beneficiary.

88

(g) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and the other Note Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 10.02 and this Section 10.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 10.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Issuer, any other Note Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Note Obligations under or in respect of this Note Guarantee, this Indenture or any other Note Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Note Guarantee Beneficiary against the Issuer, any other Note Party or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, any other Note Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until Termination Date has occurred. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Note Guarantee Beneficiaries, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Note Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Note Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents. If the Termination Date has occurred, the Note Guarantee Beneficiaries will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Note Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Note Guarantee.

SECTION 10.05 Guarantor Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a Guarantor Supplemental Indenture, (i) such Person shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Indenture to a “Subsidiary Guarantor,” “Guarantor” or “Note Party” shall also mean and be a reference to such Person, and each reference in any other Note Document to a “Subsidiary Guarantor,” “Guarantor” or “Note Party” shall also mean and be a reference to such Person, and (ii) each reference herein to “this Indenture,” “this Note Guarantee,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Indenture and this Note Guarantee, and each reference in any other Note Document to the “Indenture,” “Note Guarantee,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Indenture and this Note Guarantee shall mean and be a reference to this Indenture and this Note Guarantee as supplemented by such Guarantor Supplemental Indenture.

SECTION 10.06 Indemnification by Guarantors.

(a) (a) Without limitation on any other Note Obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of any Note Guarantee Beneficiary under this Indenture, this Note Guarantee or the other Note Documents, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Note Guarantee Beneficiary and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, controlling persons, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Note Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Note Party enforceable against such Note Party in accordance with their terms.

89

(b) Each Guarantor hereby also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any Notes, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of any Notes, the Note Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents.

SECTION 10.07 Subordination of Intercompany Obligations to Note Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates in right of payment any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Note Party (the “Subordinated Intercompany Obligations”) to the Note Obligations of any Guarantor to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 10.07.

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Note Party), each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments or payments made in the ordinary course of business from any other Note Party on account of the Subordinated Intercompany Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Note Party), however, unless the Controlling Party otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Intercompany Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Note Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Note Party, each Guarantor agrees that any Note Guarantee Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Note Obligations (including Post-Petition Interest) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Intercompany Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Note Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Trustee so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Intercompany Obligations as trustee for the Note Guarantee Beneficiaries and deliver such payments to the Trustee on account of the Guaranteed Note Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Note Guarantee.

(d) Trustee Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Note Party), the Trustee is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do) (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Intercompany Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Note Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Intercompany Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Trustee for application to the Guaranteed Note Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest).

90

SECTION 10.08 Continuing Guaranty. This Note Guarantee is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the occurrence of the Termination Date, (b) be binding upon the Guarantors and their successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the Holders and each other holder of Note Obligations and their respective transferees and assigns.

ARTICLE XI

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(a) either:

(i) all Notes that have been authenticated and delivered except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or (ii) will become due and payable within one year at the Final Maturity Date or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer;

(b) the Issuer has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient (in the case of any deposit that includes U.S. Government Obligations, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants) to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and interest to the date of deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), or to the Final Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(c) no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes issued hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the First Lien Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument (other than the Note Documents) to which Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(d) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture;

(e) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Notes issued hereunder at the Final Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and

(f) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent under this Article XI relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied.

91

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the indemnification rights of the Trustee and the Issuer’s obligations with respect thereto and, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06, will survive.

SECTION 11.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

SECTION 12.05 When Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by an Issuer, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of them shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.

SECTION 12.06 Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by, or at meetings of, Holders. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions.

SECTION 12.07 Legal Holidays. A “Legal Holiday” is a day that is not a Business Day. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular Record Date is a Legal Holiday, the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date shall be the prior day that is a Business Day.

SECTION 12.08 Governing Law. THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

94

SECTION 12.09 Jurisdiction.

The Issuer and the Guarantors irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action, or proceeding that may be brought in connection with this Indenture, the Note Guarantee or the Notes, including such actions, suits or proceedings relating to securities laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, are subject by a suit upon such judgment.

Nothing in this Indenture or in any other Note Document shall affect any right that the Trustee, or any Holder may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Indenture or any other Note Document against any Note Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction (i) for purposes of enforcing a judgment, (ii) in connection with exercising remedies against the collateral in a jurisdiction in which such collateral is located, (iii) in connection with any pending bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding in such jurisdiction or (iv) to the extent the courts referred to in the previous paragraph do not have jurisdiction over such legal action or proceeding or the parties or property subject thereto.

SECTION 12.10 Waivers of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE NOTE PARTIES, THE TRUSTEE AND (BY THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF NOTES) HOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE OR THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 12.11 U.S.A. PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Trustee like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as each may request in order to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 12.12 No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or equityholder of the Issuer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as such (other than the Issuer and the Guarantors), shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

SECTION 12.13 Successors. All agreements of the Issuer and each Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind their successors.

95

SECTION 12.14 Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or pdf transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or pdf shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

ARTICLE XIII

SUBORDINATION

SECTION 13.01 Subordination.

(a) Each of the Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of the principal of, and interest on, and all other amounts owing in respect of, the Note Obligations is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article XIII, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Obligations of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than, in each case, contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations that are not yet due and payable and for which no claim has been asserted) (such payment in full of the Senior Obligations, the “Discharge of the Senior Obligations”).

(b) So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, unless clause (d) of this Section 13.01 shall be applicable, upon (i) the occurrence of a Payment Default and (ii) receipt by the Trustee from a Senior Agent of written notice of such occurrence, no payment (other than any payments

96

made pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII or Article XI from money or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee) or distribution of any assets of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities or the payment of interest in kind) shall be made by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor including by way of set-off or enforcement of any guarantee or otherwise, on account of the Note Obligations or on account of the purchase, redemption, deposit for defeasance or other acquisition of Notes unless and until such Payment Default shall have been cured, waived or forbore (or subject to forbearance) in writing or shall have ceased to exist or the Senior Obligations with respect to which such Payment Default occurred shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, after which the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Notes, including any missed payments.

(c) So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, unless clause (d) of this Section 13.01 shall be applicable, upon (i) the occurrence of a Non-Payment Default and (ii) receipt by the Trustee from a Senior Agent of written notice of such occurrence, then no payment (other than any payments made pursuant to the provisions Article VIII or Article XI from money or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee) or distribution of any assets of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character from any source, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities or the payment of interest in kind), shall be made by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor including by way of set-off or enforcement of any guarantee or otherwise, on account of the Note Obligations or on account of the purchase, redemption, deposit for defeasance or other acquisition of Notes for a period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt by the Trustee of such notice from a Senior Agent unless and until (subject to any blockage of payments that may then be in effect under clause (b) of this Section 13.01) (w) more than 179 days shall have elapsed since receipt of such written notice by the Trustee, (x) such Non-Payment Default shall have been cured, waived or forbore (or subject to forbearance) in writing or shall have ceased to exist, (y) the Senior Obligations with respect to which such Non-Payment Default occurred have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents or (z) such Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written notice to the Trustee from the Senior Agent initiating such Payment Blockage Period or from the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the applicable Senior Obligations), after which, in the case of clause (w), (x), (y) or (z), the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Notes, including any missed payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, in no event shall a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date of the receipt by the Trustee of the notice referred to in clause (ii) above (the “Initial Blockage Period”). No more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced during any period of 365 consecutive days. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, no Senior Event of Default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period initiated by the Senior Agent for the applicable Senior Obligations shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Payment Blockage Period for such Senior Obligations, whether or not within the Initial Blockage Period, unless such Senior Event of Default shall have been cured, waived or forbore (or subject to forbearance) for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action that, in either case, would give rise to a Senior Event of Default pursuant to any provision under which a Senior Event of Default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new Senior Event of Default for this purpose).

(d) So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, in the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings and/or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or to the Issuer’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s property, and/or in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy (an “Insolvency Event”), then:

97

(i) the Discharge of Senior Obligations must occur before the Trustee or the Holders are entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly) any payment and/or distribution of any kind (other than Permitted Junior Securities or the payment of interest in kind) on account of the Note Obligations, and

(ii) until the Discharge of the Senior Obligations occurs, any payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities or the payment of interest in kind), to which the Trustee or the Holders would otherwise be entitled to receive on account of the Note Obligations in connection with such Insolvency Event but for Section 13.01(d)(i), shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Senior Agents for payment of the applicable Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Senior Documents in each case by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or other trustee or agent. If any Insolvency Event is continuing, each Senior Agent (on behalf of the applicable Senior Creditors and solely with respect to the applicable Senior Obligations) is hereby authorized, but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any payment or distribution referenced in this clause (d)(ii) and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action as such Senior Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any right or interest of the applicable Senior Creditors.

(e) So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, if any payment (other than any payments made pursuant to the provisions Article VIII or Article XI from money or U.S. Government Obligations previously deposited with the Trustee) and/or distribution of assets of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities or the payment of interest in kind), in each case, in respect of the Note Obligations shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder in violation of the foregoing clauses (b) through (d) of this Section 13.01, the Trustee or such Holder shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Senior Agents, in precisely the form received for application to the payment of the Senior Obligations, whether due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Trustee or such Holder for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and such payment and/or distribution shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Senior Agents for payment of the applicable Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Senior Documents, in each case, to the extent necessary to achieve the Discharge of the Senior Obligations.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 13.01, nothing contained in this Article XIII (i) is intended to or will impair, as between the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Note Obligations as and when due and payable in accordance with this Indenture, (ii) is intended to or will affect the relative rights of Holders and any creditors of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantors other than the Senior Creditors or (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or an Event of Default, subject, in the case of this clause (iii), to the rights, if any, under this Article XIII of the Senior Creditors (1) in any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Issuer referred to in Section 13.01(d), to receive, pursuant to and in accordance with such Section, cash, property and securities (other than Permitted Junior Securities or the payment of interest in kind) otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder, or (2) under the conditions specified in Section 13.01(c), to prevent any payment prohibited by such Section or enforce their rights pursuant to Section 13.01(e).

98

(g) No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Obligations to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor with the terms and provisions of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The Senior Agents (on behalf of the applicable Senior Creditors and solely with respect to the applicable Senior Obligations) may, without in any way affecting the obligations of the Trustee or any Holder, but subject to Section 4.02(b), at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any applicable Senior Obligations, or amend, modify or supplement any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such Senior Obligations or any other document referred to therein, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Obligations including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder and the release of any Senior Collateral, all without notice to or assent from the Trustee or any Holder.

(h) If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to any of the Senior Obligations theretofore made by Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other person or entity is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of such Senior Obligations for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Issuer or such other person or entity), the provisions of this Article XIII shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Note Obligations of the Parent Guarantor are senior obligations and are not, and shall not be construed to be, subordinated in right of payment to the Senior Obligations or any other Debt or Obligations, (ii) the Note Obligations of the Issuer shall not be subordinate to any Debt or Obligations of the Issuer other than the Senior Obligations of the Issuer (in accordance with this Article XIII) and (iii) the Note Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be subordinate to any Debt or Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor other than the Senior Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor (in accordance with this Article XIII).

SECTION 13.02 Payment Permitted. Except under the conditions described in Sections 13.01(b), (c) or (d), nothing contained in this Article XIII or otherwise in this Indenture or in any other Note Document shall limit or prevent, or be construed to limit or prevent, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor from at any time making payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes or making payments in respect of any other Note Obligations.

SECTION 13.03 Subrogation. After the Discharge of the Senior Obligations, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor which by its express terms is subordinated and postponed to the Senior Obligations to the same extent as the Note Obligations of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantor are subordinated and postponed and which is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of Senior Creditors to receive distributions applicable to Senior Obligations. A distribution made under this Article XIII to Senior Creditors that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Issuer and Holders, a payment by the Issuer on such Senior Obligations.

SECTION 13.04 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding Section 13.01(b) and (c), the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than one Business Day prior to the date of such payment, the Trustee receives written notice affirmatively indicating that payments may not be made under this Article XIII, upon which it shall be entitled to conclusively rely. The Issuer, the Registrar or co-registrar, the Paying Agent, a Senior

99

Agent or a Senior Creditor may give the notice; provided, however, that, if a series, issue or class of Senior Obligations has a Senior Agent, only the Senior Agent may give the notice. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Obligations with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XIII with respect to any Senior Obligations that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Obligations; and nothing in Article XIII shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such a holder of Senior Obligations. Nothing in this Article XIII shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.

SECTION 13.05 Distribution or Notice to Senior Agent. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to Senior Creditors, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Senior Agent (if any).

SECTION 13.06 Article XIII Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right To Accelerate. The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Notes or any other Note Document by reason of any provision in this Article XIII shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article XIII shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the Senior Creditors to receive the cash, property or securities receivable upon the exercise of such rights or remedies.

SECTION 13.07 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust by the Trustee under Article VIII or XI by the Trustee and which were deposited in accordance with the terms of Article VIII or XI, as applicable, and not in violation of Section 13.01(b) or (c) for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Obligations or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article XIII, and none of the Trustee, the Holders or any other Person shall be obligated to pay over or turn over any such amount to the Issuer, any Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor or any other creditor of the Company.

SECTION 13.08 Trustee Entitled To Rely. Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XIII, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to conclusively rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 13.01(d) are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon the Senior Agents for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Obligations and other Debt of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XIII. In the event that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a Senior Creditor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XIII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Obligations held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XIII, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may, without liability, defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article XIII.

SECTION 13.09 Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the Senior Creditors as provided in this Article XIII and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

100

SECTION 13.10 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Senior Creditors. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Senior Creditors and shall not be liable to any Senior Creditors if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, money or assets to which any Senior Creditors shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XIII or otherwise.

SECTION 13.11 Third Party Beneficiaries; etc. The Senior Agents and the Senior Creditors are hereby made third-party beneficiaries of this Article XIII as if each of them were a party hereto. The provisions of this Article XIII shall constitute a continuing offer to all Senior Creditors who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Obligations, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Obligations, and such Senior Creditor are hereby made obligees of this Article XIII, and they and/or each of them may proceed to enforce such provisions.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

For any Interest Period (as defined below) ending on or prior to March 31, 2022, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may elect to deliver a “PIK Notice” with respect to such Interest Period to the Trustee (and, prior to the Disposition Date, the GS Purchasers) on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the beginning of such Interest Period (the “PIK Option”); provided that, with respect to the Interest Period commencing on and including the Closing Date to but excluding June 30, 2021, a “PIK Notice” indicating that the PIK Option is being exercised for such Interest Period shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee and the GS Purchasers in accordance with the procedures described in Section 2.01(g) of the Indenture and this Note. The Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised the PIK Option with respect to any Interest Period if it delivers a “PIK Notice” for such Interest Period in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and will be deemed to not have exercised the PIK Option for any Interest Period if it does not deliver a “PIK Notice” with respect to such Interest Period in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

If the Issuer is permitted to exercise the PIK Option and does so exercise the PIK Option with respect to any Interest Period, the Issuer promises to pay with respect to such Interest Period interest on the principal amount of this Note (x) in cash at a rate per annum equal to 4.75% per annum, and (y) in kind at a rate per annum equal to 4.75% per annum (the interest payable pursuant to this clause (y), “PIK Interest”). The Issuer shall pay the applicable amount of any PIK Interest for any applicable Interest Period in respect of this Note on the Interest Payment Date in respect of such Interest Period by increasing the principal amount of this Note at the end of such Interest Period by the amount of such PIK Interest (rounded up to the nearest whole Dollar) and the Issuer shall otherwise follow the procedures relating to the payment of PIK Interest described in the Indenture (including in Section 2.01(g) of the Indenture). Following any increase in the principal amount of this Note as a result of a PIK Payment, this Note will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes under the Indenture and this Note (including for purposes of calculating any redemption price or redemption amount), references to the “principal” and the “principal amount” of this Note includes any increase in the principal amount hereof due to the addition of PIK Interest hereto as a result of any PIK Payment.

The Issuer will pay interest, if any, quarterly in arrears on June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The first Interest Payment Date with respect to Notes issued on the Closing Date shall be June 30, 2021. The Issuer shall also pay accrued interest on the Notes, if any, in cash on the Final Maturity Date. Interest on the 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 issuance. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

B-5

Any amount (including principal, interest or premium (including the Specified Premium)) required to be paid under the Note Documents that is not paid when due shall continue to accrue interest so long as such amount remains unpaid and the Issuer shall pay any additional interest required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Indenture. Upon any Acceleration Event, the Specified Premium shall be immediately due and payable and all principal, interest, the Specified Premium and any other premiums or amounts, shall be paid pursuant to Section 5.07(a) of the Indenture (if such Acceleration Event occurs prior to the First Call Date) or pursuant to Section 5.07(b) of the Indenture (if such Acceleration Event occurs on or after the First Call Date) as if the Notes were redeemed at the time of such Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 5.07(a) or 5.07(b) of the Indenture, as applicable, irrespective of whether the Note Obligations are paid, prepaid, repaid, redeemed, or otherwise satisfied or discharged (in whole or in part) pursuant to a plan of reorganization or otherwise.

For purposes of this Note, “Interest Period” means the period commencing on and including an Interest Payment Date and ending on but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided that the first Interest Period shall commence on and include the Closing Date and end on and exclude June 30, 2021.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) the payment of accrued and unpaid interest for any Interest Period ending after March 31, 2022, (b) the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest in connection with any redemption or repurchase of Notes pursuant to Article V of the Indenture (including Section 5.07 of the Indenture) or Section 3.05 of the Indenture, (c) the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest in connection with any defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, (d) the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Final Maturity Date and (e) the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest upon any acceleration of the Notes shall, in each case of clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), be made solely in cash.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Indenture to the contrary, if on the final day of each accrual period (as defined in Section 1272(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code) ending after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of issuance of the Notes, the amount of accrued but unpaid original issue discount on any Note exceeds the product of (x) the issue price (as defined in Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) of such Note and (y) the yield to maturity (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1272-1(b)(1)(i)) of such Note (the “Maximum Amount”), then interest on such Note shall not be deferred and all accrued but unpaid interest (including amounts of PIK Interest added to principal pursuant to Section 2.01(g) of the Indenture and paragraph 1 of the Notes) on such Note (and any interest on such interest) and original issue discount as of the end of such accrual period on such Note shall be paid except to the extent that such payment would reduce the accrued but unpaid original issue discount on such Note at the end of such period to an amount less than the Maximum Amount. This provision is intended to prevent the Notes from being classified as “applicable high yield discount obligations,” as defined in Section 163(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
