beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of each Regulation S Temporary Global Secured Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to
another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who shall take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Secured Note bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b) hereof) and
(B) an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer, the Trustee shall remove the Regulation S Temporary Global Secured Note Legend from the Regulation S Temporary Global Secured Note, following which temporary beneficial interests in the
Regulation S Temporary Global Secured Note shall automatically become beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Secured Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. 
 The aggregate principal amount of a Regulation S Temporary Global Secured Note and a Regulation S Permanent Global Secured Note may from time to time be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 The Secured Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the
Issuer pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer as provided in Section 4.10 hereof or a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14 hereof. The Secured Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3 hereof.

transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Secured Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Secured Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream. 
 Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer of the Issuer shall execute the Secured Notes on behalf of the Issuer by
manual or facsimile signature. 
 If an Officer of the Issuer whose signature is on a Secured Note no longer holds that office at the time
the Trustee authenticates the Secured Note, the Secured Note shall nevertheless be valid. 
 A Secured Note shall not be entitled to any
benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A, by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including “.pdf”) signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Secured Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
 On the Issue Date, the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Issuer’s Order (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount or amounts specified in such Authentication Order. In addition, at any
time, from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Secured Notes or Exchange Secured Notes (but only upon completion of an Exchange Offer or in a sale under a Shelf
Registration Statement) for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Secured Notes or Exchange Secured Notes issued or increased hereunder. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Secured Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Secured
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the
Issuer. 
 Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Secured Notes
may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Secured Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of
the 

  

 46 








 
Secured Notes (“Secured Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The registered Holder of a Secured Note will be treated as the
owner of the Secured Note for all purposes. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agents. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior 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. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall, to the extent that it is capable, act as such. The Issuer or any of its domestic Subsidiaries may act
as Paying Agent or Registrar. 
 The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary
with respect to the Global Secured Notes representing the Secured Notes. 
 The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar
for the Secured Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Secured Notes. 
 Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money
in Trust. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal,
premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Secured Notes, and will 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 any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings
relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Secured Notes. 
 Section 2.05. 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 Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably
require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 47 








 
(y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within
120 days, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Secured Notes (although Regulation S Temporary Global Secured Notes may not be exchanged for Definitive Secured Notes

 61 








 (v) All Global Secured Notes and Definitive Secured Notes issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Global Secured Notes or Definitive Secured 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 Secured Notes or Definitive
Secured Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 (vi) Prior to due presentment for the
registration of a transfer of any Secured Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Secured Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Secured Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Secured Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

theft of any Secured Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Secured 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 Secured Note is
replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Secured Note. 
 Every replacement Secured Note
is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Secured Notes duly issued hereunder. 
  

 62 








 Section 2.08. Outstanding Secured Notes. The Secured Notes outstanding at any time are all
the Secured 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 Secured Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and
those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Secured Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor holds the
Secured Note. 
 If a Secured Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives
proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Secured Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code). 
 If the principal amount of any Secured Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. 
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date,
money sufficient to pay Secured Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Secured Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
 Section 2.09. Treasury Secured Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Secured Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent, Secured 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 Secured Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Secured Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee
establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Secured Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a
Guarantor. 
 Section 2.10. Temporary Secured Notes. Until certificates representing Secured Notes are ready for delivery, the
Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Secured Notes. Temporary Secured Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Secured Notes but may have variations that the Issuer
considers appropriate for temporary Secured Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Secured Notes in exchange for temporary
Secured Notes. 
 Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Secured Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits
accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Secured Notes under this Indenture. 
 Section 2.11. Cancellation.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Secured Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee 

  

 63 








 
any Secured Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or
the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Secured Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Secured Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record
retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposal of all cancelled Secured Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer upon its request therefor. The Issuer may not issue new Secured Notes to replace Secured Notes that it has paid
or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a
payment of interest on the Secured Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Secured Notes and in
Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid
on each Secured Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this
Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of any such special record date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer)
shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Secured Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and
the amount of such interest to be paid. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each
Secured Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Secured Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Secured Note.

 Section 2.13. CUSIP/ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Secured Notes may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers (in each case, if
then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Secured Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Secured Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in
or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or by such other method the Trustee shall deem appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Secured Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided
herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Secured Notes not previously called for redemption. 
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Secured Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Secured Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
No Secured Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or purchased in part, except that if all of the Secured Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Secured Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed. Except as provided
in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Secured Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Secured Notes called for redemption. 
 Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, the Issuer shall deliver electronically or mail or caused to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, notices of redemption
at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Secured Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with Applicable Procedures, except that redemption notices may

 The notice shall identify the Secured Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 
 (a) the Redemption Date; 
 (b) the redemption
price; 
 (c) if any Definitive Secured Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Secured Note that is

 (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (e) that Secured Notes called for redemption must be
surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
 (f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment,
interest on Secured Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
 If the Secured Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the exchange of any such redemption
and, if applicable, of the principal amount of any Secured Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Secured Notes. 
 Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Secured Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the
redemption price (except as provided for in Sections 3.07(c) or 3.07(d) hereof). The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case,
failure to deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Secured Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Secured Note. Subject to
Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Secured Notes or portions of Secured Notes called for redemption. 
  

 66 








 Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

 (b) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph (a), on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Secured Notes or the portions of Secured Notes called for
redemption. If a Secured Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Secured Note was
registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Secured 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 Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Redemption Date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Secured Notes and in
Section 4.01 hereof. 
 Section 3.06. Secured Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Definitive Secured Note that is
redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Secured Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Secured Note surrendered representing the same
indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided that each new Secured Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

 92 








 For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of
Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term
debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S.
dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal
amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (A) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (B) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such refinancing. 
 The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a
different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any
Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the
Secured Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be. 
 This Indenture shall not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or
(2) Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral. 
 Section 4.10. Asset Sales.  
 (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to consummate an Asset Sale, unless: 
 (i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and 
 (ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents;
provided that the amount of: 
 (A) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s
most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Secured Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which
the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing; 
  

 93 








 (B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Issuer or such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; and

 (C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an
aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 3.25% of Total
Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

 shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose. 
 (b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net
Proceeds from such Asset Sale, 
 (i) to permanently reduce: 
 (A) Obligations under other Senior Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral (and to correspondingly reduce commitments
with respect thereto), provided that the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Secured Notes as provided under Section 3.07 hereof or through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above
100.0% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 and Section 4.10(d) hereof) to all Holders to purchase their Secured Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount
thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Secured Notes to be repurchased; or 
 (B)
Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary; 
  

 94 








 (ii) to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that
such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a
Restricted Subsidiary, (B) capital expenditures or (C) acquisitions of other assets, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C), used or useful in a Similar Business; provided that the assets (including Capital Stock) acquired
with the Net Proceeds of a disposition of Collateral are pledged as Collateral pursuant to Section 4.16 hereof to the extent required under the Security Documents (except to the extent the Lien thereon is released by the lenders under the
Senior Credit Facilities during an Equal and Ratable Period); or 
 (iii) to make an Investment in (A) any one or more
businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such
business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties or (C) acquisitions of other assets that, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such
Asset Sale; provided that the assets (including Capital Stock) acquired with the Net Proceeds of a disposition of Collateral are pledged as Collateral pursuant to Section 4.16 hereof to the extent required under the Security Documents
(except to the extent the Lien thereon is released by the lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities during an Equal and Ratable Period); 
 provided
that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a binding commitment entered into not later than such 450th day shall extend the period for such Investment or other payment for an additional 180 days after the end of such 450-day period
so long as the Issuer or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable
Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable
Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within such 180-day period; provided, further, that (x) if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied or
(y) such Net Proceeds are not actually so invested or paid in accordance with clauses (ii) or (iii) above by the end of such 180-day period, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds on the date of such cancellation or
termination, or such 180th day, as applicable. 
 (c) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and
within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) hereof will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders and,
if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Secured Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum
aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the 

  

 95 








 
principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $20.0 million by delivering the notice
required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior
to the expiration of the relevant 450 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $20.0 million or less. 
 To the extent that the aggregate amount of Secured Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate
purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select
the Secured Notes and the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with adjustments as needed for selection of authorized minimum denominations) based on the accreted value or principal amount of the
Secured Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero. 
 (d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds
temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. 
 (e) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with
the repurchase of the Secured Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws
and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 
 The provisions of
this Section 4.10 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Secured Notes then outstanding. 
 Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates.  
 (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract,
agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $7.5
million, unless: 
 (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or its
relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and 
  

 96 








 (ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or
series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $15.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an
Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) of this Section 4.11(a). 
 (b) The
provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof shall not apply to the following: 
 (i) transactions between or among the Issuer or
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction; 
 (ii)
Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07 hereof and the definition of “Permitted Investments”; 
 (iii)

advisory and other fees and related expenses (including indemnification and similar amounts) accrued in any prior year) and the termination fees pursuant to the Management Fee Agreement, or, in each case, any amendment thereto so long as any such
amendment is not materially disadvantageous in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole, as compared to the Management Fee Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and compensation paid to, and indemnities and reimbursements and employment and
severance arrangements provided on behalf of or for the benefit of, current or former employees, directors, officers, managers, distributors or consultants of the Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; 
 (v) transactions in which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to
the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or
its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; 
 (vi) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous in


  

 97 








 
any material respect in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable
agreement as in effect on the Issue Date); 
 (vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer 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 that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer 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 (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the board
of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole; 
 (viii) the Transactions, the Reorganization and the
payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions and the Reorganization, including Transaction Expenses;

been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; 
 (x) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock)
of the Issuer to any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer or to any Permitted Holder or to any employee, director, officer, manager, distributor or consultant (or their respective Controlled Investment Affiliates or Immediate Family
Members) of the Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (xi) sales of

respect of foreign, federal, state and local taxes for such fiscal year were the Issuer, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes separately from any such parent entity;

 Section 4.12. Liens. The Issuer shall not,
and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related Guarantee of Indebtedness, on any asset or

Guarantees, (B) Liens securing (x) Indebtedness and other Obligations permitted to be incurred under Credit Facilities, including any letter of credit facility relating thereto, that 

  

 99 








 
was incurred pursuant to clause (i) of Section 4.09(b) hereof and (y) obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary in respect of any Bank
Products provided by any lender party to any Senior Credit Facility or any Affiliate of such lender (or any Person that was a lender or an Affiliate of a lender at the time the applicable agreements pursuant to which such Bank Products are provided

 Section 4.13. Company Existence. Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its company existence, and
the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); provided that the Issuer shall not be required to
preserve the corporate, partnership or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Issuer in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 Section 4.14. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs,
unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Secured Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase all of the Secured Notes pursuant
to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall send notice of such Change
of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Secured Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Security Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures with the
following information: 
 (a) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Secured Notes
properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer; 
 (b) the purchase price and the
purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); 
 (c) that any Secured Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; 
  

 100 








 (d) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Secured Notes
accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (e)
that Holders electing to have any Secured Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender such Secured Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Secured
Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; 
 (f) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Secured Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Secured Notes,
provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Secured Notes, the
principal amount of Secured Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Secured Notes and its election to have such Secured Notes purchased; 
 (g) that Holders whose Secured Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Secured Notes and such new Secured Notes will be equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Secured Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Secured Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; 
 (h) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence
of such Change of Control; and 
 (i) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.14 that a
Holder must follow. 
 The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. If (a) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such
defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Secured Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Secured Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any
securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by
virtue thereof. 
 (j) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law: 
 (i) accept for payment all Secured Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

  

 101 








 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control
Payment in respect of all Secured Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and 
 (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
the Trustee for cancellation the Secured Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Secured Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer. 
 (k) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following 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 in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Secured Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change
of Control Offer. 
 (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer 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 making of the Change of Control Offer. 
 (m) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06, hereof, and references
therein to “redeem,” “redemption” and similar words shall be deemed to refer to “purchase,” “repurchase” and similar words, as applicable. 
 The provisions of this Section 4.14 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Secured Notes then outstanding. 
 Section 4.15. Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer
shall not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Guarantor), other
than a Guarantor, a Foreign Subsidiary (except any Foreign Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Senior Credit Facilities) or a Securitization Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or
any other Guarantor unless: 
 (a) such Restricted Subsidiary, within 30 days after the guarantee of such Indebtedness, executes and delivers
a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if such
Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Secured Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of
payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Secured Notes; and 
  

 102 








 (b) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee; 
 provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to (i) any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a
Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) guarantees of any Qualified Securitization Facility by any Restricted Subsidiary. The Issuer may elect,
in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 30 day period described in clause (1) above.

 Section 4.16. Additional Liens; Further Assurances. (a) For so long as any Indebtedness or commitments are outstanding
under the Senior Credit Facilities (or, to the extent such Senior Credit Facilities are terminated and any new Senior Credit Facilities are entered into that are initially secured, for so long as Indebtedness or commitments are outstanding under
such new Senior Credit Facilities), the following provision shall apply: 
 To the extent the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer grants a
Lien upon any of its property or assets to secure Obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities or replacement secured facility (the “Senior Credit Facilities Obligations”), the Issuer or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall,
contemporaneously with the granting of such Lien, secure the Indenture Obligations equally and ratably with such Senior Credit Facilities Obligations secured by such Lien on the terms contemplated by Sections 13.01 and 13.02 hereof and consistent
with the equal and ratable provisions of the Existing Security Documents. 
 The period of time when such provision applies is referred to as
the “Equal and Ratable Period.” 
 (b) During any period other than an Equal and Ratable Period, the following provisions
shall apply: 
 (i) Within 45 days after (A) any Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor in accordance with
Section 4.15 or (B) the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any property (other than Excluded Collateral) that is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest under the Security Documents, the Issuer or Guarantor shall notify
the Collateral Agent thereof and, in each case at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer or Guarantor, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such mortgages, security agreement supplements and other documentation (in form and scope, and
covering such Collateral (or, in the case of clause (A), all assets of such Guarantor other than Excluded Collateral) on such terms, in each case consistent with the Security Documents in effect on the Issue Date and 

  

 103 








 
subject to the exceptions (including exceptions not requiring the pledge of certain property or perfection of certain Liens) set forth therein and in the
Senior Credit Facilities as in effect on the Issue Date), and to the extent required by the Security Documents take such additional actions as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably appropriate or advisable to create and fully perfect in favor of
the secured parties under the Security Documents a valid and enforceable security interest in (and in the case of real property, mortgage lien on) such Collateral, which shall be free of any other Liens except for Permitted Liens, and to satisfy the
Collateral Requirement. Any security interest provided pursuant to this clause (i) shall, if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, be accompanied (within 60 days of such request) with such Opinions of Counsel to the Issuer as
customarily given by Issuer’s counsel in the relevant jurisdiction, in form and substance customary for such jurisdiction. 
 (ii) Neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest
with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee and the Holders acknowledge and agree that any release of the Liens
pursuant to Article 13 will not be deemed to impair the security under the Indenture governing the Secured Notes, and that any Person may rely on such provision in delivering a certificate requesting release so long as all other provisions of the
Indenture governing the Secured Notes with respect to such release have been complied with. 
 (iii) To the extent required by
the Security Documents, the Issuer and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries will make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file, record, register and/or deliver such agreements, documents, instruments, and further assurances (including, without
limitation, Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney and certificates), and, to the extent required by
the Security Documents, take such other actions, as may be required under applicable law or as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to cause the Collateral Requirement to be and remain satisfied and otherwise to create,
perfect, preserve or protect the security interest in the Collateral of the secured parties under the Security Documents, all at the Issuer’s expense. 
 (iv) The Issuer will bear and pay all legal expenses, filing fees, insurance premiums and other costs associated with the performance of the obligations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries set forth in this
Section 4.16 and also will pay, or promptly reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for, all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, including all reasonable fees and charges of any
advisors, auditors, consultants, attorneys or representatives acting for the Trustee or for the Collateral Agent. 
  

 104 








 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation
S-X under the Securities Act would require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of any Affiliate of the Issuer
due to the fact that such Affiliate’s capital stock or other securities secure the Secured Notes, then the capital stock or other securities of such affiliate shall automatically be deemed released and to not be and to not have been part of the
Collateral (“Excluded Collateral”) but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement. In such event, the Security Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder, to the extent necessary
to evidence the release of the Liens on the shares of capital stock or other securities that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral. Such Excluded Collateral may nonetheless continue to secure Indebtedness under the Senior
Credit Facilities.

than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Secured Notes, if both: 
 (i) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving
effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness
to become due prior to its stated maturity; and 
 (ii) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal

 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or 
 (h) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in
each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03) shall for any reason cease to 

  

 109 








 
be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary) (or the responsible
officers of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statement of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end), as the case may be,
denies in writing that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives written notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture; or

 (i) with respect to any Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value in excess of $50.0 million, any of the
Security Documents ceases to be in full force and effect, or any of the Security Documents ceases to give the Holders the Liens purported to be created thereby, or any of the Security Documents is declared null and void or the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary denies in writing that it has any further liability under any Security Document or gives written notice to such effect (in each case (i) other than in accordance with the terms of the indenture or the terms of the Senior
Credit Facilities or the Security Documents or (ii) unless waived by the requisite lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities if, after that waiver, the Issuer is in compliance with Section 4.16(a)); provided that if a failure of
the sort described in this clause (i) is susceptible of cure, no Event of Default shall arise under this clause (i) with respect thereto until 30 days after notice of such failure shall have been given to the Issuer by the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes issued under the Indenture. 
 Section 6.02.
Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than a type specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the
then total outstanding Secured Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately. 
 Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof, all outstanding
Secured Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if
it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Secured Notes if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interests of the Holders.

 The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of
all the Holders rescind any acceleration with respect to the Secured Notes and its consequences under this Indenture except if such rescission would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and if all existing Events of
Default (except nonpayment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Secured Note held by a non-consenting Holder that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
  

 110 








 In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (d) of Section 6.01 hereof, such Event
of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Secured Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the
Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose: 
 (a) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default
has been discharged; or 
 (b) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise
to such Event of Default; or 
 (c) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured. 
 Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Secured Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Secured Notes or this Indenture. 
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Secured Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Secured Note in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Secured
Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all the Holders waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder (except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Secured Note held by a
non-consenting Holder) (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Secured Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder
of a Secured Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
  

 111 








 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a
Secured Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Secured Notes unless: 
 (a) such Holder has previously given the
Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing; 
 (b) Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the total outstanding Secured
Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (c) the Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against
any loss, liability or expense; 
 (d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer
of security or indemnity; and 
 (e) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Secured Notes have not given the
Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. 
 Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Secured Note to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Secured Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Secured
Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) 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, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Secured Notes and
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
 Section 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding has been instituted. 
 Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Secured Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the 

  

 112 








 
Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 
 Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Secured Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 6.12. 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 Secured Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed
in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee,
and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and
other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding. 
 Section 6.13. Priorities. If the Trustee or any Agent collects any money or property pursuant
to this Article 6 or receives any money from the Collateral Agent as the distribution of proceeds received upon realization of any Collateral, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
 (a) to the Trustee, such Agent, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or such Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; 
  

 113 








 (b) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Secured Notes for principal, premium, if any, and
interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Secured Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 
 (c) to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.13. 
 Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the
Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Secured Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.  
 (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of
Default: 
 (i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the
Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of 

  

 114 








 
any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not investigate or confirm the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct,
except that: 
 (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court
of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
 (iii) the Trustee shall
not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.02, 6.04 or 6.04 hereof. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a),
(b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.

under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 Section 7.02. Rights of
Trustee.  
 (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall
determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur
no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation. 
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from
acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The

responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. 
 (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer. 
 (f) None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or
otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or
liability is not assured to it. 
 (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Secured Notes and this Indenture.

 (h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 
 (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are
extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder. 
 (j) In the event the Issuer is required to pay Additional Interest, the Issuer will provide written notice to the Trustee of the Issuer’s obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than 15 days prior to the
next Interest Payment Date, which notice shall set forth the amount of the Additional Interest to be paid by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holders to determine whether the Additional
Interest is payable and the amount thereof. 
 (k) Delivery of reports, information and documents (including without limitation reports
contemplated under Section 4.03 hereof) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from 

  

 116 








 
information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
 (l) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall
not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein. 
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Secured Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee
acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. 
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy
of this Indenture or the Secured Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Secured Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall
not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Secured Notes or any other document in
connection with the sale of the Secured Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a
Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Secured Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. 
 Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within
60 days after each May 15, beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Secured Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that
complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall
comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c). 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Secured Notes are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act
Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Secured Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services 

  

 117 








 
hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include
the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. 
 The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly
and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims,
liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against
the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, or liability in connective with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any
of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not
relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify
against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Secured Notes on
all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Secured Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or Section 6.01(g)hereof occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable. 
 Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective
only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: 
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof or Trust Indenture Act Section 310; 
  

 118 








 (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to
the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 
 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. 
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Secured Notes, at the expense of the Issuer, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.
The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid
and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the
retiring Trustee. 
 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or
transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
 Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has,
together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 
  

 119 








 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Sections
310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b). 
 Section 7.11. Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be
subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either
Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Secured Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8. 
 Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Secured Notes and
Guarantees, the Collateral released and all Events of Default cured on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Secured Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this
Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Secured Notes and this Indenture including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: 
 (a) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Secured Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture
referred to in Section 8.04 hereof; 
 (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to Secured Notes concerning issuing temporary
Secured Notes, registration of such Secured Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Secured Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; 
 (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith;
and 
 (d) this Section 8.02. 
  

 120 








 Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
 Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the
covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof, clauses (iv) and (v) of Section 5.01(a), Section 5.01(c) and 5.01(d) and Article 13 hereof with respect to
the outstanding Secured Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Secured 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 Secured Notes may not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Secured Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to
comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein 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 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Secured Notes and the Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject
thereto), 6.01(g) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(h) and 6.01(i) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 
 Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Secured Notes: 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Secured Notes: 
 (a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Secured Notes
on the stated maturity date or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Secured Notes and the Issuer must specify whether such Secured Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular
Redemption Date, provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purpose of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to
the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice 

  

 121 








 
of redemption, with any deficit as the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with
the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such
Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption (it being understood that any defeasance shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid); 
 (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming
that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, 
 (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by,
the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or 
 (ii) since the issuance of the Secured Notes, there has been a
change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 
 in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that,
subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
 (c) in the case
of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss
for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 (d) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit
relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit; 
 (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Bridge Facilities or any other material agreement or
instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary
assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code; 
  

 122 








 (g) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit
was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and 
 (h) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with. 
 Section 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Secured Notes shall be held in trust and applied
by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Secured Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Holders of such Secured Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities
deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Secured Notes. 
 Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the
Issuer any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 Section 8.06. Repayment to Issuer. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, 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 on any Secured Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable
shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Secured Note shall thereafter 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. 
  

 123 








 Section 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United
States dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Secured Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Secured Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Secured Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT,
SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
 Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding
Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Security Documents and any Guarantee or Secured Notes without the consent of any Holder: 
 (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency; 
 (b) to provide for uncertificated Secured Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Secured Notes; 
 (c) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof; 
 (d) to provide the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s
obligations to the Holders; 
 (e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; 
 (f) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to
surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor; 
 (g) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 
 (h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment
under this Indenture of a successor Trustee hereunder pursuant to the requirements hereof; 
 (i) to provide for the issuance of exchange
notes or private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that they are not freely transferable; 
 (j) to add a
Guarantor under this Indenture; 
  

 124 








 (k) to conform the text of this Indenture, Guarantees or the Secured Notes to any provision of the
“Description of Secured Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in such “Description of Secured Notes” section was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture,
Guarantee or Secured Notes; or 
 (l) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of
Secured Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Secured Notes; provided that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Secured Notes
being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Secured Notes. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the
terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall have the right, but not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officer’s Certificate shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture
(other than as required by Section 4.15 hereof) upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto. 
 Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Secured Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Secured Notes then outstanding, including consents
obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for Secured Notes, and, subject to Section 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Secured Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Secured Notes
issued thereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Secured
Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Secured Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02. 
 Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture
unless such amended or 

  

 125 








 
supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may
in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. 
 It shall not be necessary for the
consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

 Without the consent of each affected Holder of Secured Notes, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to
any Secured Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 
 (a) reduce the principal amount of such Secured Notes whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver; 
 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Secured Note or alter or waive
the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Secured Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 and Section 4.14 hereof to the extent that any such amendment or waiver does not have the effect of
reducing the principal of or changing the final maturity of any such Secured Note or altering or waiving the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Secured Notes); 
 (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Secured Note; 
 (d) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Secured Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the
Secured Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or
any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders; 
 (e) make any Secured Note payable in money other
than that stated therein; 
 (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of
Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Secured Notes; 
 (g) make any change in these amendment
and waiver provisions; 
 (h) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such
Holder’s Secured Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Secured Notes; 
  

 126 








 (i) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Secured Notes that would adversely affect the
Holders; 
 (j) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner adverse to
the Holders; or 
 (k) release the Liens created by the Security Documents on all or substantially all the Collateral (other than, during any
Equal and Ratable Period, in accordance with the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities or the Security Documents or with the consent of the requisite lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities). 
 Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Secured Notes shall be set forth in
an amended or supplemental indenture that complies in all material respects with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 
 Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Secured Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Secured Note and every
subsequent Holder of a Secured Note or portion of a Secured Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Secured Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Secured Note. However, any such Holder of a Secured Note
or subsequent Holder of a Secured Note may revoke the consent as to its Secured Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
 The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or
their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No
such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 
 Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Secured Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Secured Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in

 127 








 Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment,
supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the
board of directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be provided with, upon request, and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the
documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment,
supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof
(including Section 9.03 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officer’s Certificate shall be required (other than as required by Section 4.15 hereof) for the Trustee to execute any a supplemental
indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture. 
 Section 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an
inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Secured Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the
time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
 ARTICLE 10 
 GUARANTEES 
 Section 10.01. Guarantee. Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a Secured Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Secured Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest and
premium, if any, on the Secured Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Secured Notes, if any, if lawful, and all
other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
Secured Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any
amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
  

 128 








 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Secured 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 Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims
with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full
payment of the obligations contained in the Secured Notes and this Indenture. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. 
 If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount
paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further
agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article 6I hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so
long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees. 
 Each Guarantee shall remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or
trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Secured Notes are,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Secured Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all
as though such payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such
amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
  

 129 








 In case any provision of any 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. 
 The Guarantee issued by any
Guarantor shall be a general secured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any. 
 Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or
nature. 
 Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Secured Notes, each Holder,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be
limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive
contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in
an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. 
 Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that
this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or Treasurer, one of its Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Vice Presidents. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the
Secured Notes. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the
Secured Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Secured Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
  

 130 








 If required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuer shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with
the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable. 
 Section 10.04. Subrogation. Each
Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Secured Notes shall have been
paid in full. 
 Section 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect
benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 Section 10.06. Release of Guarantees. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor will provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuer or the Trustee is required for the release of the such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon: 
 (a) (i) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such
Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture; 
 (ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness
under the Senior Credit Facilities, or such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent
reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15); 
 (iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable
provisions of this Indenture; or 
 (iv) the exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance
option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and 
 (b) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been
complied with. 
  

 131 








 ARTICLE 11 
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
 Section 11.01.
Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Secured Notes, when either: 
 (a) all Secured Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Secured Notes which have been replaced or paid and Secured Notes for whose payment money has heretofore been deposited in trust, have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
 (b) (i) all Secured Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders,
cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Secured
Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium,
the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purpose of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium
Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such
Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption (it being understood that any satisfaction and discharge shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact
paid); 
 (ii) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit or any similar
and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Secured Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a
result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities, the Bridge Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which
the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and,
in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith); 
 (iii) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums
payable by it under this Indenture; and 
  

 132 








 (iv) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the
deposited money toward the payment of the Secured Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 
 In addition, the Issuer
must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (A) of
clause (ii) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Secured Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

 (a)
In order to secure the Indenture Obligations equally and ratably with the Senior Credit Facilities Obligations, the Issuer will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries named in any Existing Security Document as a party thereto, to
execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent prior to the Issue Date each Existing Security Document to which it is a party. The Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall comply with all the covenants and agreements contained in the Security
Documents the failure to comply with which would have a material and adverse effect on the Liens purported to be created thereby (taken as a whole), unless such failure to comply is during the Equal and Ratable Period and is waived by the requisite
lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities if, after that waiver, the Company is in compliance with Section 4.16(a). 
 (b) Each Holder,
by accepting a Secured Note, agrees to all of the terms and provisions of the Security Documents, as the same may be amended from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture and the Security Documents. 
 (c) Each Holder of a Secured Note, by its acceptance thereof, is deemed to have authorized and empowered the Trustee to enter into the Security
Documents, whether as Trustee or Collateral Agent, and to receive for the benefit of the Holders of 

  

 137 








 
Secured Notes any funds collected or distributed under the Security Documents to which the Trustee is a party and to make further distributions of such funds
to the Holders of Secured Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture. 
 Section 13.02. During The Equal And Ratable Period.
The Trustee and each Holder by its acceptance of a Secured Note acknowledges and agrees that: 
 (i) the Existing Security
Documents, when executed and delivered by the parties thereto on the Issue Date do comply with the provisions of Section 4.16(a); 
 (ii) the Existing Security Documents provide, and any Security Document that becomes effective after the Issue Date, may provide, that the Liens created thereby or thereunder automatically will be released and
extinguished with respect to any property or security that is transferred or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the terms of the Senior Credit Facilities during any Equal and Ratable Period; 
 (iii) during any Equal and Ratable Period, without the necessity of any consent of or notice to the Trustee or any holder of Indenture
Obligations, the Issuer and the Collateral Agent may amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Security Document as long as the Issuer remains in compliance with Section 4.16(a); 
 (iv) during any Equal and Ratable Period, as among the Trustee and the Holders and the lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities and the
Collateral Agent, those lenders and the Collateral Agent will have the sole ability to control and obtain remedies with respect to all Collateral (including on sale or liquidation of any Collateral after acceleration of the Secured Notes or the
Senior Credit Facilities Obligations) without the necessity of any consent of or notice to the Trustee or any such holder; 
 (v) the relative rights of the Holders and the holders of Indebtedness or other obligations secured by Liens on the Collateral are governed by, and are subject to the terms and conditions of, and the Security Documents and not this
Indenture; and 
 (vi) any or all Liens granted under the Security Documents for the benefit of the Holders will be
automatically released, without the necessity of any consent of the Trustee or any Holders, upon a release of such Lien or Liens pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the Senior Credit Facilities or if such release is approved by the
requisite lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities or in connection with the entry into a new Senior Credit Facility that is initially secured; provided, however, if such release is made in the context of the repayment and termination of
such Senior Credit Facilities or in connection with the entry into a new Senior Credit Facility, Liens will be released only (x) to the extent Collateral was disposed of in order to repay any Senior Credit Facilities Obligations secured by the
Collateral or (y) in order to extinguish the Liens under a terminated Senior Credit Facility (and the related Security Documents), so long 

  

 138 








 
as new Security Documents related to some or all of the Collateral are put in place in connection with the new Senior Credit Facility and the Issuer remains
in compliance with Section 4.16(a) thereafter. 
 Section 13.03. Actions Taken Outside The Equal And Ratable Period. 

 (a) During any time other than during an Equal and Ratable Period, subject to the provisions of Article 7, the Trustee, in its sole
discretion and without the consent of the Holders may, or at the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Secured Notes then outstanding, the Trustee shall, direct on behalf of all the Holders, the Collateral Agent to take
all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to: 
 (i) during the existence of an Event of Default, take any action
to enforce, the provisions of the Security Documents as provided for therein; 
 (ii) enforce any of the terms of the Security
Documents to which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is a party; or 
 (iii) collect and receive payment for the Collateral
of all obligations in respect of the Secured Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture. 
 Subject to the Security Documents and Article 7, the Trustee and
the Collateral Agent are authorized and empowered to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to protect or enforce the Liens on the Collateral or the other rights under the Security Documents as permitted pursuant
to the Security Documents to which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral (which impairment would have a material adverse impact on the Collateral, taken as a whole) by any acts that may be unlawful
or in violation of such Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral, including
power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or
compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Liens or other rights under such Security Documents or hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders or the Trustee. 
 (b) Determinations Relating to Collateral. During any time that is not an Equal and Ratable Period, in the event (i) the Collateral Agent
shall receive any written request from the Issuer, a Guarantor or the Collateral Agent under any Security Document for consent or approval with respect to any matter or thing relating to any Collateral or the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s
obligations with respect thereto, (ii) there shall be due to or from the Collateral Agent under the provisions of any Security Document any material performance or the delivery of any material instrument or (iii) the Collateral Agent shall
become aware of any nonperformance by the Issuer or a Guarantor of any covenant or any breach of any representation or warranty of the Issuer or such Guarantor set forth in any Security Document, then, in each such event, the Collateral Agent shall
be entitled to hire experts, consultants, agents and attorneys to advise the Collateral Agent on the manner in which the Collateral Agent should respond to such 

  

 139 








 
request or render any requested performance or respond, or direct the Collateral Agent to respond, to such nonperformance or breach; provided that the
Trustee’s right to direct the Collateral Agent to respond shall be subject to the terms of the Security Documents. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in the taking of any action recommended or approved by any such
expert, consultant, agent or attorney or agreed to by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Secured Notes. 
 (c)
Release of Liens. (i) During any time that is not an Equal and Ratable Period, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Notes will be released: 
 (A) upon payment in full of the Indenture Obligations or discharge or defeasance thereof (in accordance with Article 8 or Article 11);

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

 (C) in connection with any disposition of Collateral to any Person other than the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (but excluding any transaction subject to Section 5.01 where the recipient is required to become an obligor on the Secured Notes) that is permitted by the Indenture (with respect to the Lien on such Collateral). 
 (ii) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate requesting execution of an instrument confirming the release
of the Liens pursuant to clause (i), accompanied by: 
 (A) an Opinion of Counsel confirming that such release is permitted by
clause (i); 
 (B) all instruments requested by the Issuer to effectuate or confirm such release; and 
 (C) such other certificates and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to confirm the matters set forth in clause (i),

 the Collateral Agent will, if such instruments and confirmation are reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, promptly execute and
deliver, such instruments. 
 (iii) All instruments effectuating or confirming any release of any Liens will have the effect
solely of releasing such Liens as to the Collateral described therein, on customary terms and without any recourse, representation, warranty or liability whatsoever. 
 (iv) The Issuer will bear and pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with any release of Liens pursuant to this
Section 13.03(c), including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys or representatives acting for the Trustee or for the Collateral Agent. 
  

 140 








 (v) Any release of Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the
Security Documents and the Trust Indenture Act will not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture, and any engineer or appraiser may rely on this Section 13.03(c)(v) in delivering a certificate requesting release so long as all
other provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act with respect to such release have been complied with. 
 Section 13.04. Trust Indenture Act. (a). To the extent applicable, the Issuer will comply with Section 313(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, relating to reports, and Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act,
relating to the release of property and to the substitution therefor of any property to be pledged as Collateral for the Secured Notes. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act may be made by an Officer
of the Issuer except in cases where Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries will not be required to comply with all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act if they determine, in good faith based on advice of outside counsel, that under the terms of
that section and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the Commission and its staff, including “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. 
 (b) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year,
beginning with the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, a written Opinion of Counsel as to the continued perfection of the liens of the Security Documents on the Collateral, to the extent required by Section 314(b)(2) of the Trust
Indenture Act. 
 Section 13.05. Equal Priority. As among the Holders, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be
held for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders without preference, priority or distinction of any thereof over any other by reason of differences in time of issuance, sale or otherwise, as security for the Obligations under this Indenture and
the Secured Notes. 
 Section 13.06. Notice Of Payment, Discharge Or Defeasance. The Trustee and each Holder, by its acceptance
of a Secured Note, agree that upon the payment in full or discharge pursuant to Article 11 of the Indenture Obligations or legal or covenant defeasance thereof pursuant to Article 8, the Trustee shall without notice to or consent of any Holder, upon
the written request of the Issuer, certify to the Collateral Agent, in writing, that the Indenture Obligations have been paid in full, or that this Indenture has been discharged or defeased in accordance with the terms thereof. 
 Section 13.07. Canadian Power of Attorney. The Trustee and each Holder hereby appoint and constitute the Collateral Agent as the
holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir), within the meaning of Section 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, of the Trustee and each Holder for purposes of holding any hypothec or other security
granted in the Province of Quebec, to secure any obligations whatsoever. Each 

  

 141 








 
future Holder confirms and ratifies the appointment and constitution of the Collateral Agent, or its successors in accordance with the provisions
hereof, as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) of the Trustee and each Holder for such purposes. The Trustee and each Holder acknowledge that the first issue of any debenture issued pursuant
to any deed of hypothec may be purchased by the Collateral Agent, by underwriting, purchase, subscription or otherwise notwithstanding the terms of Section 32 of the Act respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (Quebec).

 Section 13.08. Collateral Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the duties of the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) are
as set forth in the Security Documents and not this Indenture, and the Collateral Agent will not be required to interact with Holders, but instead shall interact with the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders. To the extent any provision of this
Indenture purports to obligate the Collateral Agent to take action, such action shall either be performed by the Trustee or by the Collateral Agent upon direction of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled
to all of the protections in this Indenture (including without limitation those in Article 7) applicable to the Trustee.

 [Back of Senior Secured Note] 
 9.25% Senior Secured Note due 2015 
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
 1. Interest. Axcan Intermediate Holdings Inc, a Delaware
corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Secured Note at a rate per annum of 9.25% from February 25, 2008 until maturity and to pay the Additional Interest, if any, payable pursuant to the Registration Rights
Agreement referred to below. The Issuer will pay interest on this Secured Note semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year beginning September 1, 2008, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). The Issuer will make each interest payment to the Holder of record of this Secured Note on the immediately preceding February 15 and August 15 (each, a
“Record Date”). Interest on this Secured Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including February 25, 2008. The Issuer will pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Secured Note; 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 periods) from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Secured Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months. 
 2. Method of Payment. The Issuer will pay interest on this Secured Note to the Person who is the
registered Holder of this Secured Note at the close of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this Secured Note is 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. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Secured Note Register of Holders,
provided that (a) all cash payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, Secured Notes represented by Global Secured Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof and (b) all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to certificated Secured Notes will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account
maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding
the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). 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. 
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying
Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
  


 A-1-5 








 4. Indenture. The Issuer issued the Secured Notes under an Indenture, dated as of
February 25, 2008 (the “Indenture”), among Axcan Intermediate Holdings Inc., the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. This Secured Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as its 9.25%
Secured Notes due 2015. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Secured Notes pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 4.09 of the Indenture. The terms of the Secured Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Secured Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the
extent any provision of this Secured Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 
 5. Optional Redemption. 
 (a) Except as described below under clauses 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) hereof, the
Secured Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option. 
 (b) At any time prior to March 1, 2011, the Issuer may redeem all
or a part of the Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of such Secured Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (the
“Redemption Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 
 (c) On or after March 1, 2011, the Issuer may redeem the Secured Notes, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Secured Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on

	  	Percentage	 
	 2011
	  	106.938	%

	  	102.313	%
	 2014 and thereafter
	  	100.000	%

 (d) Until March 1, 2011, the Issuer may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem up
to 35.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, 

  

 A-1-6 








 
subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash
proceeds received by it from one or more Equity Offerings; provided that (i) at least 50.0% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes originally issued under this Indenture on the Issue Date and any Additional
Secured Notes issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; and (ii) each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of closing of each such Equity
Offering. Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not
limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering. If any Secured Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the exchange of any such notice of redemption. In addition, the Issuer will
notify the exchange of the principal amount of any Secured Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Secured Notes. 
 (e) Any
redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture. 
 6.
Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Secured Notes. 
 7. Notice of Redemption. Subject to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, notice of redemption will be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
redemption date (except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 of the Indenture) to each Holder whose Secured
Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. No Secured Notes of less than $2,000 can be redeemed in part, except that if all the Secured Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire amount of Secured Notes held by such Holder shall be
redeemed. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on this Secured Note or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 8.
Offers to Repurchase. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall make a Change of Control Offer in accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture. In connection with certain Asset Sales, the Issuer shall make an Asset
Sale Offer as and when provided in accordance with Sections 3.09 and 4.10 of the Indenture. 
 9. Security. In order to secure the
Indenture Obligations, the Issuer and certain of its Restricted Subsidiaries have entered into the Security Documents. The Indenture Obligations shall be secured by Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Security
Documents. The Indenture requires that Holders be granted a lien equally and ratably with any lien granted on additional assets to secure the holders of Senior Credit Facilities Obligations subsequent to the Issue Date. Following the end of the
Equal and Ratable Period, the Indenture requires that Holders be granted certain liens on after-acquired property and permits the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Trustee or Holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of
the Secured Notes, to enforce the Liens on the Collateral. 
  

 A-1-7 








 10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Secured Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. The transfer of Secured Notes may be registered and Secured Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder,
among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any
Secured Note or portion of a Secured Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Secured Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Secured Notes for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Secured Notes to be redeemed. 
 11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Secured Note may be
treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Secured Notes may
be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture. 
 13. Defaults and Remedies. The Events of Default relating to the Secured
Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes may declare the principal, premium, if
any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency,
all outstanding Secured Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Secured Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations,
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating
to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on
behalf of all the Holders waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Secured Notes held by a non-consenting Holder.
The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required within five Business Days after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying
such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 14. Authentication. This Secured Note shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including “.pdf”) signature of the Trustee. 
 15. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Secured Notes and Restricted Definitive Secured Notes. In addition to the rights provided to
Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Secured Notes and Restricted Definitive Secured Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including the right to receive Additional Interest (as defined
in the Registration Rights Agreement). 
  

 A-1-8 








 16. Governing Law. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE
INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES. 
 17. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Secured Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Secured Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 EXHIBIT D 
 [FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
 TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS] 
 Supplemental Indenture (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of
                    , among
                     (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of Axcan Intermediate Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Issuer”), and The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS, Axcan Intermediate Holdings Inc. and the Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to below)
has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of February 25, 2008, providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Secured Notes due 2015;

 WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s Obligations under the Secured Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture
(the “Guarantee”); and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and
deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders as follows: 
 (1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
 (2) Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: 
 (a) Along with all other
Guarantors named in the Indenture (including pursuant to any supplemental indentures), to jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Secured Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its
successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Secured Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: 
 (i) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Secured Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Secured Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee thereunder shall be promptly paid in full,
all in accordance with the terms thereof; and 
  

 D-1 








 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Secured Notes or any
of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for
whatever reason, the Guarantors and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 
 (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Secured Notes or
the 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 Issuer or any other Guarantor, 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) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby waives: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever. 
 (d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the
obligations contained in the Secured Notes, the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations applicable to a Guarantor under the Indenture, including Article 10 of the Indenture (which is deemed
incorporated in this Supplemental Indenture and applicable to this Guarantee). The Guaranteeing Subsidiary acknowledges that by executing this Supplemental Indenture, it will become a Guarantor under the Indenture and subject to all the terms and
conditions applicable to Guarantors contained therein. 
 (e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors (including the Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the
Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
 (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. 
 (g) As between the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, 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 6 of the Indenture 

  

 D-2 








 
for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 (h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Guarantee. 
 (i) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving
effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 10 of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited
to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (j) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make
an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Secured Notes and Guarantee, whether as a
“voidable preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured
Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. 
 (k) In case any provision of this 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. 
 (l) This Guarantee shall be a general secured
senior obligation of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, if any. 
 (m) Each payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim,
reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

 (iii) the designation of any Restricted
