 Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each
shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate,
to reflect exchanges, redemptions and transfers of interests. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Note

their behalf by the Depositary or by the Note Custodian or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent or other agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

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

 A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. 
 The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Issuer
signed by one Officer directing the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Notes and certifying that all conditions precedent to the issuance of the Notes contained herein have been complied with, authenticate Notes for original issue up to the
aggregate principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of the Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such amount except as provided in Section 2.17 hereof. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an
Agent to deal with Holders or the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents; provided, however, that at all times there shall be only one Note Register. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the
term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to
this Indenture. The Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

Agent. 
 The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and initially appoints the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee as the office or agency of the Company for such purposes and as the office or agency of the Company where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served and the Trustee as the
agent of the Issuer to receive such notices and demands. 
 The Issuer initially appoints DTC to act as the Depositary with respect to the

payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by
it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the
money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon the occurrence of events specified in Section 6.1(8)
hereof, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.5 Holder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all

the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the
operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of Beneficial Owners in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with Section 2.16 and the rules

 -46- 








 (f) At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Notes have been exchanged for Certificated Notes,
redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Notes shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is
exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Note
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction. 
 (g) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

 (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and
Certificated Notes at the Registrar’s request. 
 (ii) (No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or

upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.10, 3.6, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.5 hereto). 
 (iii) All Global Notes and Certificated Notes
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Certificated Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or
Certificated Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (iv) The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue,
to register the transfer of or to exchange Notes during a period beginning at the opening of fifteen (15) days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day

other purposes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 (vi) The Trustee shall

 (viii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global
Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial
compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. 
 SECTION 2.7 Replacement Notes. 
 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon the written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the
Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note
is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note. 
 Every replacement Note is an additional
obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.8 Outstanding Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for
those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding.
Except as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note. 
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

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


 -48- 








 SECTION 2.9 Treasury Notes. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or by any Affiliate of the Issuer shall be
considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes shown on the register as being owned shall be so disregarded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes
passes to such entity. 
 SECTION 2.10 Temporary Notes. 
 Until Certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon a written order of the Issuer signed by two Officers of the Issuer. Temporary Notes shall
be substantially in the form of Certificated 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 a written order of the
Issuer signed by two Officers authenticate Certificated Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
 Holders of temporary Notes shall be
entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.11 Cancellation. 
 The Issuer at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder or which the Issuer may
have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, shall be
delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace
Notes that they have redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practice, and certification of their disposal delivered
to the Issuer, unless by a written order, signed by an Officer of the Issuer, the Issuer shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it. 
 SECTION 2.12
Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful
manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at the earliest practicable date but in all events at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date and shall promptly thereafter notify the Trustee
of any such date. At least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, the Issuer (or the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders a notice that states the special record
date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
  

 -49-

 SECTION 2.14 Computation of Interest. 
 Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 SECTION 2.15
CUSIP Number. 
 The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP” and/or ISIN or other similar number, and if it does so,
the Company may use the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of
the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the
CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number.

Transfer Restricted Notes to be reduced accordingly, and the Registrar shall deliver to the Persons designated by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes so accepted Global Notes not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend in the appropriate principal
amount. 
 (e) Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Restricted
Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Restricted

 -53- 








 (4) the name, telephone number and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

on and after the redemption date; 
 (7) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the
Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and 
 (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of
the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
 At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice
of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as is acceptable to
the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in the notices as provided in the preceding paragraph. The notice sent in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by electronic transmission or by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the
validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note. 
 SECTION 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the
redemption date at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to such date. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of (including any applicable premium), and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

if Issuer has deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and unpaid and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased, on and after the redemption or purchase date,
interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or tendered and not withdrawn in an Asset Sale Offer or Change of Control Offer (regardless of whether certificates for such securities are actually
surrendered). 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, if any, 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 shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption 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 4.1 hereof.

interim financial statements reviewed, by a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants and will furnish to the Holders of Notes all quarterly and annual financial statements in the form included in the Offering Memorandum prepared in
accordance with GAAP that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company was required to file those Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s certified independent accountants; provided, however, that such information and such
reports shall not be required to comply with any segment reporting requirements (whether pursuant to GAAP or Regulation S-X) in greater detail than is provided in the Offering Memorandum. Any reports on Form 10-Q shall be provided within 45 days
after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters and annual reports on Form 10-K shall be provided within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year. To the extent that the Company does not file such information with the Commission, the

owner of the Notes who provides their email address to the Company and certifies that they are a beneficial owner of Notes, (c) to any prospective investor who provides their email address to the Company and certifies that they are a Qualified
Institutional Buyer (as defined in the Securities Act) or (d) any securities analyst who provides their email address to the Company and certifies that they are a securities analyst. Unless the Company is subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act, the Company will also hold a quarterly conference call for the Holders of the Notes to discuss such financial information. The conference call will not be later than five Business Days from the time that the Company distributes
the financial information as set forth above. 
 If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then, to
the extent that any such Unrestricted Subsidiary or group of Unrestricted Subsidiaries would (but for its or their being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or Subsidiaries) constitute a Significant Subsidiary or Subsidiaries, the quarterly and
annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries
of the Company.

 The Company has agreed that, for so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the
Holders of the Notes and to any prospective investor that certifies that it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act. 
 Following the consummation of the Exchange Offer (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), whether or not required by the Commission, the
Company will file a copy of all of the information and reports that would be required by the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept
such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Company and the Guarantors will, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, furnish to the Holders and to securities
analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 
 In the event that any parent of the Company becomes a Guarantor or co-obligor of the Notes, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.3 with respect to financial information relating to the
Company by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that, if required by Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the
differences between the information relating to such parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company, the Guarantors, if any, and the other Subsidiaries of
the Company on a standalone basis, on the other hand. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will be deemed to have furnished such
reports referred to above to the Holders if it or any parent of the Company has filed such reports with the Commission via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available. In addition, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied
prior to the commencement of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) by the filing with the Commission of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (as defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) and/or Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the
Securities Act and such registration statement and/or amendments thereto are filed at times that otherwise satisfy the time requirements set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.3. 
 SECTION 4.4 Compliance Certificate. 
 The Company
shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether each has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture (including, with respect to any Restricted Payments made during such year, the basis upon
which the calculations required by Section 4.7 hereof were computed, which calculations may be based upon the Company’s latest available financial statements), and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that, to

 SECTION 4.5 Taxes. 
 The Company shall pay, and shall
cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which appropriate reserves have been
taken in accordance with GAAP or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
 SECTION 4.6
Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. 
 The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time
insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;
and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

interest to the date of purchase; 
 (b) on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company
could Incur $1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) under the first paragraph of Section 4.9; and 
 (c)
the aggregate amount of all such Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (xv) does not exceed $75.0 million in the aggregate since the Issue Date; 
  

 -65- 








 (xvi) any Restricted Payments made in connection with the consummation of the
transactions as described in the Offering Memorandum, including any payments or loans made to any direct or indirect parent to enable it to make such payments; and 
 (xvii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction. 
 If the Company makes a Restricted Payment which, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, in the good faith determination of the Board of
Directors of the Company, would be permitted under the requirements of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustment made in good faith to the
Company’s financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income. 
 If any Person in which an Investment is made, which Investment
constitutes a Restricted Payment when made, thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, all such Investments previously made in such Person shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of
calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the first paragraph under this Section 4.7, in each case to the extent such Investments would otherwise be so counted. 
 If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary transfers, conveys, sells, leases or otherwise disposes of an Investment in accordance with Section 4.10,
which Investment was originally included in the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Restricted Payments,” the aggregate amount expended or declared for all
Restricted Payments shall be reduced by the lesser of (i) the Net Cash Proceeds from the transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition of such Investment or (ii) the amount of the original Investment, in each case, to the extent
originally included in the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Restricted Payments.” 
 For purposes of this Section 4.7, if a particular Restricted Payment involves a non-cash payment, including a distribution of assets, then such
Restricted Payment shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the cash portion of such Restricted Payment, if any, plus an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the non-cash portion of such Restricted Payment. 
 By way of clarification, while payments under the Management Agreement are not prohibited by this Section 4.7, any payments made pursuant to the
Management Agreement will reduce Consolidated Net Income and thereby reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c)(1) of the first paragraph under this Section 4.7. 
 SECTION 4.8 Limitation on Dividends and Other Payments Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, cause or suffer to exist or become effective or
enter into any encumbrance or 

  

 -66- 








 
restriction (other than pursuant to this Indenture, law, rules or regulation) on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make
any other distributions on its Capital Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Debt or other obligation owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary thereof or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 However,
the preceding restrictions will not apply to the following encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
 (a)
any encumbrance or restriction in existence on the Issue Date, including those required by the Credit Agreement and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof;
provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings, in the good faith judgment of the Company, are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such
dividend or other payment restrictions, than those contained in these agreements on the Issue Date or refinancings thereof; 
 (b) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement relating to an acquisition of property, so long as the encumbrances or restrictions in any such agreement relate solely to the property so acquired (and are not or were not created
in anticipation of or in connection with the acquisition thereof); 
 (c) any encumbrance or restriction which exists with
respect to a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with or into a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on or after the Issue Date, which is in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in
connection with or in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such Person becoming a
Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (d) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a permitted renewal,
refunding, replacement, refinancing or extension of Debt issued pursuant to an agreement containing any encumbrance or restriction referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), so long as the encumbrances and restrictions contained in
any such refinancing agreement are no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Debt being renewed, refunded, replaced, refinanced or extended in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company; 
 (e) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of
any lease, contract, or license of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment of such agreement or any rights thereunder; 
 (f) any restriction on the sale or other disposition of assets or property securing Debt as a result of a Permitted Lien on such assets or
property; 
  

 -67- 








 (g) any encumbrance or restriction by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or
order; 
 (h) any encumbrance or restriction under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees; 
 (i) any encumbrance or restriction under the sale of assets, including, without limitation, any agreement for the sale or other
disposition of a subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 
 (j)
restrictions on cash and other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into the ordinary course of business; 
 (k) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into the ordinary
course of business; 
 (l) any instrument governing Debt or Capital Interests of a Person acquired by the Company or any of
the Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Debt or Capital Interests were incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not
applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Debt, such Debt was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be
incurred; 
 (m) purchase money obligations (including Capital Lease Obligations) for property acquired in the ordinary course
of business that impose restrictions on that property so acquired of the nature described in clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.8; 
 (n) Liens securing Debt otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Indenture, including pursuant to Section 4.12, that limit the
right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 
 (o) customary provisions limiting the disposition or
distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements otherwise permitted by this Indenture entered into with the approval of the
Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements; and 
 (p) any Non-Recourse Receivable Subsidiary Indebtedness or other contractual requirements of a Receivable Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction; provided that such
restrictions apply only to such Receivable Subsidiary or the receivables and related assets described in the definition of Qualified Receivables Transaction which are subject to such Qualified Receivables Transaction. 
  

 -68- 








 Nothing contained in this Section 4.8 shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from
(i) creating, incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Liens otherwise permitted under Section 4.12 or (ii) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that
secure Debt of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred in accordance with this Indenture. 
 SECTION 4.9 Limitation on Incurrence of
Debt. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Debt (including Acquired Debt);
provided that the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Guarantor may Incur Debt (including Acquired Debt) if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the receipt and application of the proceeds
therefrom, (a) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, determined on a pro forma basis as if any such Debt (including any other Debt being Incurred contemporaneously), and any other Debt
Incurred since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period (as defined below) (provided that any Debt Incurred under the revolving portion of a credit agreement shall be calculated (x) on an annualized basis for periods prior to the one
year anniversary of the Issue Date and (y) thereafter, only on such date), had been Incurred and the proceeds thereof had been applied at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, and any other Debt repaid since the beginning of the Four
Quarter Period had been repaid at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, would be greater than (x) on or prior to November 1, 2009, 2.50:1 and (y) thereafter, 2.75:1, and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the Incurrence of such Debt. 
 If, during the Four Quarter Period or subsequent thereto
and prior to the date of determination, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have engaged in any Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition, Investments, mergers, consolidations, discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with
GAAP) or shall have designated any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges and Consolidated Interest Expense for the Four
Quarter Period shall be calculated on a pro forma basis giving effect to such Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition, Investments, mergers, consolidations, discontinued operations or designation, as the case may be, and the application of any proceeds
therefrom as if such Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition or designation had occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period. 
 If the Debt
which is the subject of a determination under this provision is Acquired Debt, or Debt Incurred in connection with the simultaneous acquisition of any Person, business, property or assets, or Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary being designated as a
Restricted Subsidiary, then such ratio shall be determined by giving effect (on a pro forma basis, as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period) to the Incurrence of such Acquired Debt or such other Debt by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and the inclusion, in Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges, of the Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges of the acquired Person, business, property or assets or redesignated
Subsidiary. 
  

 -69- 








 Notwithstanding the first paragraph above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur
Permitted Debt. 
 For purposes of determining any particular amount of Debt under this Section 4.9, (x) Debt Incurred under the
Credit Agreement on the Issue Date shall initially be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Debt,” and may not later be re-classified and (y) Guarantees or obligations with respect to letters
of credit supporting Debt otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.9, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than
one of the types of Debt described above, including categories of Permitted Debt and under the first paragraph of this Section 4.9, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time may reclassify, all or any portion of
such item of Debt. 
 The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on Debt
in the form of additional Debt or payment of dividends on Capital Interests in the forms of additional shares of Capital Interests with the same terms will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt or issuance of Capital Interests for purposes of
this Section 4.9. 
 The Company and any Guarantor will not Incur any Debt that pursuant to its terms is subordinate or junior in right
of payment to any Debt unless such Debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Note Guarantees to the same extent; provided that Debt will not be considered subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Debt solely
by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a greater or lesser extent or with greater or lower priority. 
 SECTION 4.10 Limitation on Asset Sales.

 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
 (1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to
the Fair Market Value of the assets or Capital Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 
 (2) at least 75% of the
consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 
 (a) any liabilities, as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than
contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary assignment and assumption agreement that releases the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and 
 (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received
by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of their receipt to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; 
  

 -70- 








 (3) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Collateral, the Company or such
Subsidiary has complied with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, including those described under Article X; and 
 (4) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Notes Collateral, the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be paid directly by the purchaser of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent for deposit into the Collateral
Account, and, if any property other than cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents is included in such Net Cash Proceeds, such property shall be made subject to the Lien of this Indenture and the applicable Security Documents. 
 Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be)
may apply such Net Cash Proceeds at its option: 
 (1) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds constitute proceeds from the sale
of ABL Collateral, to permanently repay Debt under the Credit Agreement and, if the Obligation repaid is revolving credit Debt, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 
 (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Interests of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect
to any such acquisition of Capital Interests, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 
 (3) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business or to make expenditures for maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

 (4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted
Business; or 
 (5) any combination of the foregoing. 
 Subject to the next two succeeding paragraphs, any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding
paragraph of this Section 4.10 will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, within thirty days thereof, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase to all Holders of
Notes (including any Permitted Additional Note Obligations) (on a pro rata basis to each series of Notes), and to all holders of other Debt ranking pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture
with respect to assets sales, equal to the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Offer to Purchase will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess
Proceeds remain after consummation of an Offer to Purchase, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (including any Permitted Additional Note
Obligations) and other 

  

 -71- 








 
pari passu tendered into such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes (including any
Permitted Additional Note Obligations) to be purchased on a pro rata basis among each series. Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 
 With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale that constitutes a sale of Collateral, the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary that owned the
assets, as the case may be) may apply those Net Cash Proceeds to purchase other long-term assets that constitute Collateral and become subject to the first-priority Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents (subject to no other Liens other
than Permitted Collateral Liens) or otherwise use such proceeds as provided in the second preceding paragraph. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise
invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Cash Proceeds received from a sale of Collateral shall constitute Collateral under the Security Documents and this Indenture. Any Net Cash Proceeds
received from a sale of Notes Collateral shall constitute Collateral under the Security Documents and this Indenture and be deposited in the Collateral Account and released therefrom in accordance with Article X. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may use up to $75.0 million of the proceeds from the sale of Notes Collateral that is real property in
accordance with the provisions of clause (xv) of the second paragraph of Section 4.7. 
 The Company will comply with the
requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to
Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
 SECTION 4.11 Limitation on Transactions with
Affiliates. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment
to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, loan, advance or
guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2.0 million, unless: 
 (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary than those
that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction by the Company or such Subsidiary with an unaffiliated party; and 
 (ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good
faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) above; and 
  

 -72- 








 (iii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $15.0 million, the Company must obtain a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or appraisal firm (an “Independent Financial Advisor”)
stating that the transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view. 
 The foregoing limitation
does not limit, and shall not apply to: 
 (1) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of this Indenture
pursuant to Section 4.7 and Permitted Investments permitted under this Indenture; 
 (2) the payment of reasonable and
customary fees and indemnities to members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary who are outside directors; 
 (3) the payment of reasonable and customary compensation and other benefits (including retirement, health, option, deferred compensation and other benefit plans) and indemnities to officers and employees of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as determined by the Board of Directors thereof in good faith; 
 (4) transactions
between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (5) the issuance of Capital Interests (other than
Redeemable Capital Interests) of the Company otherwise permitted hereunder; 
 (6) any agreement or arrangement as in effect
on the Issue Date (other than the Management Agreement) and any amendment or modification thereto so long as such amendment or modification is not more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes in any material respect; 
 (7) transactions in which the Company delivers to the Trustee a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that
the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company and any relevant Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (8) the
existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it
is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the 

  

 -73- 








 
existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing
agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (8) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to the holders of the
Notes in any material respect as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; 
 (9) the transactions
described in the Offering Memorandum and the payment of all fees and expenses in connection therewith; 
 (10) any
contribution of capital to the Company; 
 (11) transactions permitted by, and complying with, Section 5.1; 

(12) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case, in the ordinary
course of business and consistent with past practice and on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as determined in good faith by the Company, than those that could be obtained in a
comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company; 
 (13) the payment to the
Permitted Holders and any of their Affiliates of annual management, consulting, monitoring and advisory fees pursuant to the Management Agreement in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million per year, and reasonable related expenses; and

 (14) transactions effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction. 
 SECTION 4.12 Limitation on Liens. 
 (a) The Company
will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind, on or with respect to the Collateral other than Permitted Collateral Liens.

 (b) Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section 4.12, the Company will not, and will not permit any of their
Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, other than Permitted Liens, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the
Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom except the Collateral without securing the Notes and all other amounts due under this Indenture and the Security Documents (for so long as such
Lien exists) equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligation or liability secured by such Lien. 
  

 -74- 








 (c) In addition, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Canadian Subsidiaries, directly or
indirectly, to enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, other than Permitted Liens, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or
profits therefrom without securing the Notes and all other amounts due under this Indenture and the Security Documents (for so long as such Lien exists) equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligation or liability secured by such Lien.

 SECTION 4.13 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. 
 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless: 
 (i) the consideration received in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is at least equal to the fair market value of the property sold, as
determined by a Board Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or by an Officers’ Certificate, 
 (ii) prior
to and after giving effect to the Attributable Debt in respect of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company and such Restricted Subsidiary comply with Section 4.9, and 
 (iii) at or after such time the Company and such Restricted Subsidiary also comply with Section 4.10. 
 SECTION 4.14 Offer to Purchase upon Change of Control. 
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer will make an Offer to Purchase (the “Change of Control Offer”) all of the outstanding Notes at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount tendered,
together with accrued interest, if any, to but not including the Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). For purposes of the foregoing, an Offer to Purchase shall be deemed to have been made if (i) within 30 days
following the date of the consummation of a transaction or series of transactions that constitutes a Change of Control, the Issuer commences an Offer to Purchase all outstanding Notes at the Purchase Price (provided that the running of such
30-day period shall be suspended, for up to a maximum of 30 days, during any period when the commencement of such Offer to Purchase is delayed or suspended by reason of any court’s or governmental authority’s review of or ruling on any
materials being employed by the Issuer to effect such Offer to Purchase, so long as the Issuer has used and continues to use its commercial best efforts to make and conclude such Offer to Purchase promptly) and (ii) all Notes properly tendered
pursuant to the Offer to Purchase are purchased on the terms of such Offer to Purchase. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of any applicable securities laws and any regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. 
 On the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to
the extent lawful, (a) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (b) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes
or portions thereof so tendered and (c) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the
Issuer. The Paying Agent will promptly mail (or wire 

  

 -75- 








 
transfer) to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to
be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or any integral multiple
of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will announce the results of the Change of Control Offer to all Holders on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date. 
 The Change of Control provisions described above will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture
does not contain provisions that permit the Holders to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction. 
 The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

 To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture,
the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict. 
 In addition, an Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in
place for the Change of Control at the time of launching the Offer to Purchase. 
 SECTION 4.15 Corporate Existence. 
 Subject to Section 4.14 and Article V hereof, as the case may be, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep
in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from
time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or
franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. 
 SECTION 4.16 Events of Loss.

 In the event of an Event of Loss, the Company or the affected Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, may (and to the
extent required pursuant to the terms of any lease encumbered by a mortgage shall) apply the Net Loss Proceeds from such Event of Loss to 

  

 -76- 








 
the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction of improvements to the property affected by such Event of Loss (the “Subject Property”),
with no concurrent obligation to offer to purchase any of the Notes; provided, however, that the Company delivers to the Trustee within 90 days of such Event of Loss: 
 (1) a written opinion from a reputable contractor that the Subject Property can be rebuilt, repaired, replaced or constructed in, and
operated in, substantially the same condition as it existed prior to the Event of Loss within 360 days of the Event of Loss; and 
 (2) an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Company has available from Net Loss Proceeds or other sources sufficient funds to complete the rebuilding, repair, replacement or construction described in clause (1) above.

 Any Net Loss Proceeds that are not reinvested or not permitted to be reinvested as provided in the first sentence of this covenant will be
deemed “Excess Loss Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Loss Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Company will make an offer (an “Event of Loss Offer”) to all Holders to purchase or redeem the Notes with
the proceeds from the Event of Loss in an amount equal to the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Loss Proceeds. The offer price in any Event of Loss Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer, the Company may use such Excess Loss Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise
prohibited by this Indenture and the Security Documents; provided that any remaining Excess Loss Proceeds shall remain subject to the Lien of the Security Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Event of
Loss Offer exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes tendered. 
 With respect to any Event of Loss pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of “Event of Loss” that has a fair market value (or replacement cost, if greater) in excess of $20.0 million, the Company (or
the affected Guarantor, as the case may be), shall be required to receive consideration (i) at least equal to the fair market value (evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Trustee) of the assets subject to the Event of Loss and (ii) at least 85% of which is in the form of cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents.

Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company; or 
 (b) a merger between the Company and an
Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of converting the Company into a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision or state thereof; 
 so long as, in each case, the amount of Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

 (7) the entry against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant

unsatisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days; 
 (8) (i) the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant

repudiation or disaffirmation by the Company or any Subsidiary of its material obligations under the Security Documents or the determination in a judicial proceeding that the Security Documents are unenforceable or invalid against the Company or any
Subsidiary party thereto for any reason with respect to a material portion of the Collateral (which default, repudiation, disaffirmation or determination is not rescinded, stayed or waived by the Persons having such authority pursuant to the
Security Documents) or otherwise cured within 60 days after the Company receives written notice thereof specifying such occurrence from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations and
demanding that such default be remedied. 
 The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 SECTION 6.2 Acceleration. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if
given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, under certain
circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture. 
 In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.1 has
occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 6.1 shall
be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the
acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes. 
 If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and any accrued interest on
the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders to do so. 
  

 -87- 








 No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or
for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default and unless also the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have
made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction
inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. Such limitations do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note. 
 In the case of any Event of Default occurring by
reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant
to Section 3.7 hereof, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. 
 SECTION 6.3 Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
(i) pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise
any available remedies under the Security Documents. 
 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. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company is required to
deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with this Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of
Default. 
 SECTION 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this
Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than as a result of an acceleration), which shall require the consent of all of the Holders of the Notes then outstanding.

  

 -88- 








 SECTION 6.5 Control by Majority. 
 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee and
Collateral Agent or exercising any trust power conferred on it. However, (i) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other
Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In case an Event of Default shall occur (which shall not
be cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Trustee is under no obligation
to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder, unless such Holder shall offer to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 SECTION 6.6 Limitation on Suits. 
 A Holder may
pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture, or the Notes or the Security Documents only if: 
 (a) the Holder gives to the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives such notice from the Company; 
 (b) the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the
provision of such indemnity or security; and 
 (e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. 
 A Holder may not use this
Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 
 SECTION 6.7 Rights of Holders of Notes
to Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal,
premium, if any, and interest on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 
  

 -89- 








 SECTION 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its
own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 SECTION 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of
claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or
property payable or deliverable upon the conversion or exchange of the Notes or on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7

 SECTION 7.15 Co-Trustees; Separate Trustee; Collateral Agent. 
 At any time or times, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of (i) the Trustee

caused to be paid all other sums then due and payable under this Indenture by the Issuer;

 SECTION 8.3 Covenant Defeasance. 
 Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to
this Section 8.3, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13,
4.14, 4.15, 4.17, 4.20, 4.21 and 5.1 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and the Notes shall 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 shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all
other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries
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 to any such covenant or by reason of any
reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(3) and (5) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

 SECTION 8.4 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof to the outstanding Notes: 
 In order to exercise either defeasance or covenant defeasance: 
 (1) the Issuer must irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of
making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to the benefits of the Holders of such Notes: (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. government obligations which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient without reinvestment, in the opinion of
a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the entire indebtedness in
respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or (if the Issuer has made irrevocable 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) the redemption date thereof, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Notes and, with respect to the Floating Rate Notes, the Issuer may be entitled to assume that the
applicable interest rate is the rate then in effect with the Issuer remaining liable for any amounts due on the Stated Maturity or date of redemption, as the case may be, in excess of the amount deposited on the initial deposit date; 
 (2) in the case of defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Issuer has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to
the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge to be effected with
respect to such Notes and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge were not to occur; 
 (3) in the case of covenant defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of such outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to federal income tax on
the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance were not to occur; 
  

 -103- 








 (4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect thereto (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien to secure such borrowing);

 (5) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of
the TIA (assuming all Notes are in default within the meaning of the TIA); 
 (6) such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall
not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; and 
 (7) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent with respect to such defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. 
 In the event of a defeasance or a
Discharge, a Holder whose taxable year straddles the deposit of funds and the distribution in redemption to such Holder would be subject to tax on any gain (whether characterized as capital gain or market discount) in the year of deposit rather than
in the year of receipt. In connection with a Discharge, in the event the Issuer becomes insolvent within the applicable preference period after the date of deposit, monies held for the payment of the Notes may be part of the bankruptcy estate of the
Issuer, disbursement of such monies may be subject to the automatic stay of the Bankruptcy Code and monies disbursed to Holders may be subject to disgorgement in favor of the Issuer’s estate. Similar results may apply upon the insolvency of the
Issuer during the applicable preference period following the deposit of monies in connection with defeasance. 
 Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) above with respect to a Defeasance need not to be delivered if all Notes not therefore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable, or (y) will
become due and payable at Stated Maturity 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 Company. 
 SECTION 8.5 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and non-callable U.S. government obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee
(or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust, shall not be invested, and applied by
the Trustee, in 

  

 -104- 








 
accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or any
Subsidiary acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. government obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the written request of the Issuer and be relieved of all liability with respect to any money or non-callable U.S. government obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount
thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance. 
 SECTION 8.6 Repayment to 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, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its written request or (if then held by the
Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such
trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause
to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Issuer. 
 SECTION 8.7 Reinstatement.

 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable U.S. government obligations in accordance with
Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture
and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3
hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following 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 held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Liens or security interests. 
 SECTION 10.3 Releases of Collateral. 
 The Liens securing the Notes and the Guarantees will, upon compliance with the conditions precedent to the release of the Collateral together with such documentation, if any, as may be required by the Trust Indenture
Act and this Indenture, automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person be released so long as such release is otherwise in compliance with the Trust Indenture Act: 
 (a) in whole or in part, as applicable, as to all or any portion of property subject to such Liens which has been taken by eminent domain,
condemnation or other similar circumstances; 
 (b) in whole, as to all property subject to such Liens, upon: 
 (i) payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Notes; or 
 (ii) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture under Section 8.2 hereof; or 
 (iii) legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture under Article VIII hereof;

 (f) in part, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Security Documents.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be required to comply with all or any portion of

“no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act is inapplicable to the released Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, certain no-action letters issued by
the SEC have permitted an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act to contain provisions permitting the release of collateral from Liens under such indenture in the ordinary course of the Issuer’s business without requiring the Issuer
to provide certificates and other documents under Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 If any Collateral is released in
accordance with any of the Security Documents (other than as otherwise permitted by this Indenture) and if the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Security Documents, the Trustee will
determine whether it has received all documentation required by Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act in connection with such release.

of or proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Collateral that, under the terms of this Indenture may be sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or any Guarantor, and the Issuer or such Guarantor requests
the Collateral Agent to furnish a written disclaimer, release or quitclaim of any interest in such property under this Indenture, the applicable Guarantee and the Security Documents, upon being satisfied that the Issuer or such Guarantor is selling,
exchanging or otherwise disposing of the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3, the Collateral Agent shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer or such Guarantor such an instrument in the form provided by the
Issuer, and providing for release without recourse, promptly after satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein for delivery of such release and shall take such other action as the Issuer or such Guarantor may reasonably request and as necessary
to effect such release. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, all purchasers and grantees of any property or rights purporting to be released shall be entitled to rely upon any release executed by the Collateral Agent hereunder as sufficient for
the purpose of this Indenture and as constituting a good and valid release of the property therein described from the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents. 
 SECTION 10.5 Possession and Use of Collateral.

to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such conditions precedent have been complied with (and which may be the same Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Article
VIII), together with such documentation, if any, as may be required by the Trustee or the TIA (including, without limitation, TIA § 314(d)) prior to the release of such Collateral, the Trustee shall forthwith take all necessary action (at the

rebuildings or replacement, which Lien might, in the opinion of the signers of such Officer’s Certificate, materially impair the security afforded by such repairs, rebuildings or replacements;

Officer’s Certificate stating that any specific exceptions to such title insurance are Permitted Collateral Liens, together with such endorsements and other opinions as are contemplated by Section 10.1;

 (ii) to the extent that such Replacement Assets were acquired with Net Cash Proceeds, the
relevant Security Documents create a valid, binding and enforceable Lien, subject only to Permitted Liens, on and security interest in such Replacement Assets in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders and, to the extent that a
security interest in any such Replacement Assets may be perfected under the relevant UCC, a perfected security interest in such property. 
 Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Trustee shall apply the Released Trust Monies as directed and specified by the Issuer. 
 SECTION
11.5 Investment of Trust Monies. 
 So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any part
of any Trust Monies held by the Collateral Agent shall from time to time be invested or reinvested by the Collateral Agent in any Eligible Cash Equivalents pursuant to a request by the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, which shall
specify the Eligible Cash Equivalents in which such Trust Monies shall be invested and shall certify that such investments constitute Eligible Cash Equivalents; and the Collateral Agent shall sell any such Eligible Cash Equivalent only upon receipt
of such a request by the Issuer specifying the particular Eligible Cash Equivalent to be sold. So long as no Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, any interest or dividends accrued, earned or paid on such Eligible Cash Equivalents
(in excess of any accrued interest or dividends paid at the time of purchase) that may be received by the Collateral Agent shall be forthwith paid to the Issuer. Such Eligible Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Collateral Agent as a part of the
Collateral, subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash used by it to purchase such Eligible Cash Equivalents. 
 The Trustee and
Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from such investments or sales except only for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct in complying with this
Section 11.5. 
 SECTION 11.6 Use of Trust Monies; Retirement of Notes. 
 The Collateral Agent shall apply Trust Monies not required to be applied to fund an Asset Sale Offer or Event of Loss Offer or required to be held
pending application to the acquisition of Replacement Assets from time to time to the payment of the principal of, premium, and interest on, any Notes, on any redemption date or the Maturity Date or to the redemption thereof or the purchase thereof
upon tender or in the open market or at private sale or upon any exchange or in any one or more of such ways, including, without limitation, pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, as the Issuer shall request in writing, upon receipt by the Trustee

Section 11.6 of a specified amount of Trust Monies and, in case any such monies are to be applied to payment, designating the Notes so to be paid and, in case any such monies are to be applied to the purchase of Notes, prescribing the method of
purchase, the price or prices to be paid and the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes to be purchased and any other provisions of this Indenture governing such purchase;

the relevant application, stating

would be cured thereby; and

Trust Monies as directed and specified by such Board Resolution. 
 A Board Resolution expressed to be irrevocable directing the application
of Trust Monies under this Section 11.6 to the payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes shall for all purposes of this Indenture be deemed the equivalent of the deposit of money with the Collateral Agent in trust for such
purpose. Such Trust Monies and any cash deposited with the Collateral Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 11.6 for the payment of accrued interest shall not, after compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, be
deemed to be part of the Collateral or Trust Monies.

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and destruction in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures. 
 ARTICLE XII

 NOTE GUARANTEES 
 SECTION 12.1 Note
Guarantees. 
 (a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Notes and
obligations of the Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that: (i) the principal of and premium, if any and interest on
the Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise (including, without limitation, the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under
Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other 

  

 -133- 








 
obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof
and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether
at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each of the Note Guarantees shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 
 (b)
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by
any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Guarantor. 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in
the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be
discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note and such Note Guarantee or as provided for in this Indenture. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of
principal or premium, if any or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that
if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the
Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such
rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders. 
 (d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by
any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the
Note Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. This paragraph (d) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Trustee or any
Holder in reliance upon such amount required to be returned. This paragraph (d) shall survive the termination of this Indenture. 
 (e)
Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for
the purposes of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such 

  

 -134- 








 
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI
hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor. 
 SECTION 12.2 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. 
 To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in
Section 12.1, each Guarantor agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such notation of Note Guarantee
shall be signed on behalf of such Guarantor by an officer of such Guarantor (or, if an officer is not available, by a board member or director) on behalf of such Guarantor by manual or facsimile signature. In case the officer, board member or
director of such Guarantor who shall have signed such notation of Note Guarantee shall cease to be such officer, board member or director before the Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered as though the Person who signed such notation of Note Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer, board member or director. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 12.1 shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this
Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
 The failure to endorse a Note Guarantee shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

 SECTION 12.3 Severability. 
 In case
any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 SECTION 12.4 Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability. 
 Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention,
the Trustee, the Holders and Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities
of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee, result in
the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  

 -135- 








 SECTION 12.5 Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. 
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.6, a Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or
consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person unless: 
 (1)
immediately after giving effect to such transactions, no Default or Event of Default exists; and 
 (2) either: 
 (A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or 
 (B) the Net Cash Proceeds of any such sale or other disposition of a Guarantor are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof; and 
 (3) the Company delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that such sale, other disposition, consolidation or merger complies with the requirements of this Indenture. 
 In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.
All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all such Note
Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
 Except as set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, and notwithstanding
clauses (1) and (2) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the
property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Issuer or another Guarantor. 
 SECTION 12.6 Releases Following Sale of
Assets. 
 Any Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any obligations under this Note Guarantee, (1) in connection with any
sale or other disposition by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such
transaction) a 

  

 -136- 








 
Subsidiary, if the Issuer or the Guarantor applies the Net Proceeds of that sale or other disposition in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10
hereof; or (2) in connection with any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary, if the Issuer
applies the Net Cash Proceeds of that sale in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was
made by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its
obligations under its Note Guarantee. 
 Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under this Note Guarantee shall remain liable for
the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article XII. 
 SECTION 12.7 Release of a Guarantor. 
 Any Guarantor that is designated by the Board of Directors of the Company as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall, at such time, be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged of its obligations under its Note Guarantee without any further action on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of the Company’s request for such release accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this
Section 12.7. Any Guarantor not so released shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in its Note Guarantee. 
 SECTION 12.8 Benefits Acknowledged. 
 Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and
indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 SECTION 12.9 Future Guarantors. 
 Each Person that is
required to become a Guarantor after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.20 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Person shall become a Guarantor. Concurrently with the execution and
delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Person
and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at
law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

 SECTION 13.13 Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. 
 The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture and

 SECTION 13.14 Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as
the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the

the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and

or not notation of such action is made upon such Note. 
 (e) If the Issuer shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Issuer may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Issuer shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such
record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent
by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1) Interest. 
 (a) Rhombus
Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its successor (together, “Rhombus”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note (“12% Senior Secured Note” and, together with the Floating Rate
Senior Secured Note, the “Notes”) at a fixed rate. Rhombus will pay interest in United States dollars (except as otherwise provided herein) semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1, commencing on May 1, 2008 or
if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the 12% Senior Secured Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
interest has been paid, from and including October 19, 2007; provided that if there is no existing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, and if this 12% Senior Secured Note is authenticated between a record date
referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (but after October 19, 2007), interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date, except in the case of the original issuance of 12% Senior Secured
Notes, in which case interest shall accrue from the date of authentication. Rhombus shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum
in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the 12% Senior Secured Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without
regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum
rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. 
 [(b) Registration Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Note is entitled to
the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2007, among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and the Initial Purchasers.]1

 A-1-5 








 
registered Holders of 12% Senior Secured Notes at the close of business on the May 1 and November 1 preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if
such 12% Senior Secured Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The 12% Senior Secured Notes shall be
payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of Rhombus maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of Rhombus, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the
Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all
other 12% Senior Secured Notes the Holders of which shall have provided written wire transfer instructions to Rhombus and the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 Any payments of principal of and interest on this 12% Senior Secured Note prior to
Stated Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. The amount due and payable at the maturity of
this Note shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at an office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes. 
 (3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. Rhombus may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder. Rhombus or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 (4) Indenture. Rhombus
issued the 12% Senior Secured Notes under an Indenture, dated as of October 19, 2007 (the “Indenture”), among Rhombus, Ryerson, Inc., the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the 12% Senior Secured Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). To the extent the provisions of this 12% Senior Secured
Note are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern. The 12% Senior Secured Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. The 12% Senior

amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, Rhombus will mail or deliver a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the

Note, or reduce the amount payable in respect of the principal thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable thereon, or reduce the amount that would be due and payable on acceleration of the maturity thereof, or change the place of

 A-1-12 








 
or any Subsidiary party thereto for any reason with respect to a material portion of the Note Collateral (which default, repudiation, disaffirmation or
determination is not rescinded, stayed, or waived by the Persons having such authority pursuant to the Security Documents) or otherwise cured within 60 days after the Company receives written notice thereof specifying such occurrence from the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations and demanding that such default be remedied. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders);
provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and
annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. 
 In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) above has
occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) shall be remedied or cured
by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the
Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes. 
 If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and any accrued interest on
the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders to do so. 
 (13) Trustee Dealings with Rhombus. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for Rhombus, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise
deal with Rhombus, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 
 (14) No Recourse Against Others.
No director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner or incorporator, past, present or future, of the Company, Rhombus, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as such or in such capacity, shall have any personal
liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the 12% Senior Secured Notes, any Guarantee or the Indenture by reason of his, her or its status as such director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner or incorporator.

 (Reverse of Floating Rate Senior Secured Note) 
 Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2014 
 RHOMBUS MERGER CORPORATION 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1) Interest. 
 (a)
Rhombus Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation, or its successor (together, “Rhombus”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note (“Floating Rate Senior Secured Note” and, together with the
Fixed Rate Notes, the “Notes”) at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 7.375%, as determined by the Calculation Agent. Rhombus will pay interest in United States dollars (except as otherwise provided herein)
quarterly in arrears on each February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, commencing on February 1, 2008 or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest on the Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including October 19, 2007; provided that if
there is no existing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, and if this Floating Rate Senior Secured Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (but after
October 19, 2007), interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date, except in the case of the original issuance of Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes, in which case interest shall accrue from the date of authentication.
Rhombus shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Floating Rate Senior
Secured Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the
extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by
United States law of general application. 
 [(b) Registration
Rights Agreement. The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2007, among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and the Initial Purchasers.]2 
  

	 2
	 To be included only in the Initial notes on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes that bear the Restricted Legend.



  

 A-2-5 








 For purposes of this Section 1, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below:

 “Bloomberg Page BBAM1” means the display designated as “Page BBAM1” on the Bloomberg service (or any successor
service or such other page as may replace Page BBAM1 on that service or any successor service). 
 “Determination Date”
with respect to an Interest Period, will be the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of the Interest Period. 
 “Interest Period” means the period commencing on and including an interest payment date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding the next succeeding interest payment date, with the exception that the first
Interest Period shall commence on and include the Issue Date and end on and include January 31, 2008. 
 “LIBOR,” with
respect to an Interest Period, will be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in United States dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date that appears on Bloomberg
Page BBAM1 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Determination Date. If Bloomberg Page BBAM1 does not include such a rate or is unavailable on a Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of
four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Company, to provide such bank’s offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Determination Date, to prime banks
in the London interbank market for deposits in a Representative Amount in United States dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so
provided, LIBOR for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the Company, to
provide such bank’s rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Determination Date, for loans in a Representative Amount in United States dollars to leading European banks for a
three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so
provided, then LIBOR for the Interest Period will be LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Period. 
 “London Banking Day” is any day in which dealings in United States dollars are transacted or, with respect to any future date, are expected to be transacted in the London interbank market. 
 “Representative Amount” means U.S. $1,000,000. 
 The amount of interest for each day that the Notes are outstanding ( the “Daily Interest Amount”) will be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the
result by the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for each Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period.

 All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the
nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting
from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). 
 The interest rate on the Floating
Rate Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application. 
 The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of any Floating Rate Note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence

 If an Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the

Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. 
 In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded
and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or waived by the holders of the relevant 

  

 A-2-14 








 
Debt within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes
would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes. 
 If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and any accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if the Trustee determines that
withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders to do so.

or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for Rhombus, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with Rhombus, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, as if it were not
the Trustee.

incorporator, past, present or future, of the Company, Rhombus, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as such or in such capacity, shall have any personal liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Floating Rate Senior
