  WHEREAS, all things necessary (i) to make the Notes, when executed and duly issued by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered hereunder, the valid obligations of the Issuer,

    in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B; and

   

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate
    benefit of all Holders, as follows:

   

  ARTICLE I -

   

  DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY
      REFERENCE

   

  SECTION 1.1.          Definitions.

   

  “Acquired Indebtedness” means with respect to any Person (x) Indebtedness of any other Person or any of its Subsidiaries existing at the time such other Person becomes a
    Restricted Subsidiary or merges or amalgamates with or into or consolidates or otherwise combines with the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and (y) Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such Person. Acquired Indebtedness
    shall be deemed to have been incurred, with respect to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, on the date such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or on the date of the relevant merger, amalgamation, consolidation, acquisition or other combination.

   

  “Additional Assets” means:

   

  (1)             any property or assets (other than Capital Stock) used or
      to be used by the Issuer, a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise useful in a Similar Business (it being understood that capital expenditures on property or assets already used in a Similar Business or to replace any property or assets that are the
      subject of such Asset Disposition shall be deemed an investment in Additional Assets);

   

  (2)             the Capital Stock of a Person that is engaged in a
      Similar Business and becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; or

   

  (3)             Capital Stock constituting a minority interest in any
      Person that at such time is a Restricted Subsidiary.

   

   “Additional First Lien Notes” means any additional First Lien Notes issued from time to time under the indentures governing the First Lien Notes after the original
    issuance date thereof, having identical terms and conditions to the First Lien Notes of the relevant series.

   

  
    
      


  

  
  “Additional First Lien Obligations” means any Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral (other than a Lien that is pari passu with or junior to the Lien
    securing the Notes), as permitted by this Indenture; provided, that an authorized representative of the holders of such Indebtedness shall have executed a joinder to the Junior Intercreditor Agreement or any similar intercreditor agreement governing
    the relative priority of the First Lien Obligations and the Notes without the need for any other party to execute such joinder for such authorized representative to become party thereto.

   

            “Additional First Lien Secured Parties” means the holders of any Additional First Lien Obligations and any trustee, authorized representative
      or agent of such Additional First Lien Obligations.

   

  “Additional Notes” has the meaning ascribed to it in the recitals of this Indenture.

   

  “Additional Second Lien Obligations” means any Indebtedness having Pari Passu Lien Priority relative to the Notes with respect to the Collateral; provided, that an authorized representative of the holders of such Indebtedness shall have executed a joinder to the Security Documents, without the need for any other party to execute such joinder for such
    authorized representative to become party to the Security Documents.

   

  “Additional Second Lien Secured Parties” means the holders of any Additional Second Lien Obligations and any trustee, authorized representative or agent of such
    Additional Second Lien Obligations.

   

  “Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such
    specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
    contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

   

  “AHYDO Payment” means any payment required to be made under the terms of Indebtedness in order to avoid the application of Section 163(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code
    to such Indebtedness.

   

  “AI” means an “accredited investor” as described in Rule 501(a)(4) under the Securities Act.

   

  “Alternative Currency” means any currency (other than Dollars) that is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and
    convertible into Dollars (as determined in good faith by the Issuer).

   

  “Applicable Premium” means the greater of (A) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note and (B) on any Redemption Date, the excess (to the extent positive) of:

   

  (a)             the present value at such Redemption Date of (i) the
      redemption price of such Note at October 15, 2024 (such redemption price (expressed in percentage of principal amount) being set forth in the table under Section 5.7(d) (excluding accrued but unpaid interest, if any)), plus (ii) all required
      interest payments due on such Note to and including such date set forth in clause (i) (excluding accrued but unpaid interest, if any), computed upon the Redemption Date using a discount rate equal to the Applicable Treasury Rate at such Redemption
      Date plus 50 basis points; over

   

  (b)             the outstanding principal amount of such Note;

   

  in each case, as calculated by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as the Issuer shall designate. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the
    calculations of the Applicable Premium.

   

  “Applicable Treasury Rate” means the weekly average for each Business Day during the most recent week that has ended at least two (2) Business Days prior to the
    Redemption Date of the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or, if such statistical release is not so
    published or available, any publicly available source of similar market data selected by the Issuer in good faith)) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to October 15, 2024; provided, however, that if the period from the Redemption
    Date to October 15, 2024 is not equal to the constant maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a yield is given, the Applicable Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year)
    from the yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if the period from the Redemption Date to such applicable date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury
    securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

  “Asset Disposition” means:

   

  (a)             the voluntary sale, conveyance, transfer or other
      disposition, whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, of property or assets (including by way of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction) of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (in each case other than Capital Stock
      of the Issuer) (each referred to in this definition as a “disposition”); or

   

  (b)             the issuance or sale of Capital Stock of any Restricted

      (1)      a term has the meaning assigned to it;

      (6)       “will” shall be interpreted to express a command;

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (7)       the principal amount of any non‐interest bearing or other discount security at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Issuer dated such
        date prepared in accordance with GAAP;

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (8)       the principal amount of any preferred stock shall be (i) the maximum liquidation value of such preferred stock or (ii) the maximum mandatory redemption or mandatory repurchase price with
        respect to such preferred stock, whichever is greater;

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (9)      all amounts expressed in this Indenture or in any of the Notes in terms of money refer to the lawful currency of the United States of America;

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (10)     the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision;

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (11)     except as otherwise stated, (a) references herein to Articles, Sections and Exhibit mean the Articles and Sections of and Exhibits to this Indenture and (b) each reference herein to a
        particular Article or Section includes the Sections, subsections and paragraphs subsidiary thereto; and

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (12)      unless otherwise specifically indicated, the term “consolidated” with respect to any Person refers to such Person consolidated with its Restricted Subsidiaries, and excludes from such
        consolidation any Unrestricted Subsidiary as if such Unrestricted Subsidiary were not an Affiliate of such Person.

    

     

    

  

  
    -52-

    
      


  

  
    
      (b)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued, any Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on any
        ratio based exception, threshold and baskets, such ratio(s) shall be calculated with respect to such incurrence, issuance or other transaction without giving effect to amounts being utilized under any other exceptions, thresholds or baskets under
        the same covenant (other than ratio based baskets) on the same date. Each item of Indebtedness that is incurred or issued, each Lien incurred and each other transaction undertaken will be deemed to have been incurred, issued or taken first, to the
        extent available, pursuant to the relevant ratio based test.

    

  

   

  

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) is incurred or issued, any Lien is incurred or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on any ratio based
    exceptions, thresholds and baskets, such ratio(s) shall be calculated without regard to the incurrence of any Indebtedness under any revolving facility or letter of credit facility immediately prior to or in connection therewith.

   

  Any calculation or measure that is determined with reference to the Issuer’s financial statements (including Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense, Consolidated Net Income, Fixed Charges, Consolidated First
    Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio) may be determined with reference to the financial statements of a Parent Entity instead, so long as such Parent Entity does not hold
    any material assets other than, directly or indirectly, the Capital Stock of the Issuer.

   

  For purposes of making any computation referred to above, any Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and disposed or discontinued operations that have been made by the Issuer or any
    of its Restricted Subsidiaries, during the reference period or subsequent to the reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the calculation date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions,
    dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and disposed or discontinued operations (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the
    reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or amalgamated with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have
    made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or disposed or discontinued operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the computation shall be calculated giving pro forma effect
    thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or disposed operation had occurred at the beginning of the reference period.

   

  Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction (including the issuance of the Initial Notes on the Issue Date and the Reorganization and Financing Transactions), the pro forma calculations shall be made in good
    faith by a responsible financial or chief accounting officer of the Issuer (and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, cost savings, operating expenses reductions and synergies resulting from such transactions which is being given pro forma effect).

   

  
    
      (c)     When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture or compliance at any time following the Issue Date with any provision of this Indenture in connection with any Limited Condition
        Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or creation of Liens, repayments, Restricted
        Payments and Asset Dispositions), in each case, at the option of the Issuer (the Issuer’s election to exercise such option, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination for availability under any such basket or ratio and whether any such
        action or transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default)) under this Indenture shall be deemed to be the date occurring at
        any time following the Issue Date (the “LCT Test Date”) either (a) the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable declaration of a Restricted Payment
        or similar event), or (b) solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer (or equivalent announcement
        in another jurisdiction) (an “LCT Public Offer”) in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction and, in each case, if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related
        thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or creation of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments and Asset Dispositions) and any related pro
        forma adjustments, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such transactions on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket (and any related
        requirements and conditions), such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have been complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes (in the case of Indebtedness, for example, whether such Indebtedness
        is committed, issued, assumed or incurred at the LCT Test Date or at any time thereafter); provided, that (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Issuer may elect, in its sole
        discretion, to redetermine all such ratios, tests or baskets on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such ratios, tests or baskets, and
        (b) except as contemplated in the foregoing clause (a), compliance with such ratios, test or baskets (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited
        Condition Transaction and any actions or transaction related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or creation of Liens, repayments,
        Restricted Payments and Asset Dispositions).

    

     

    

  

  
    -53-

    
      


  

  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has made an LCT Election, (1) if any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date
    have been exceeded or otherwise failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets of the Issuer or the Person subject to such Limited
    Condition Transaction, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations; (2) if any related requirements and conditions (including as to the absence of any
    continuing Default or Event of Default) for which compliance or satisfaction was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date not have been complied with or satisfied (including due to the occurrence or
    continuation of a Default or Event of Default), such requirements and conditions will not be deemed to have been failed to be complied with or satisfied (and such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing); and
    (3) in calculating the availability under any ratio, test or basket in connection with any action or transaction unrelated to such Limited Condition Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such
    Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or date for redemption, purchase or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes (or, if
    applicable, the irrevocable notice is terminated, expires or passes or, as applicable, the offer in respect of an LCT Public Offer for, such acquisition is terminated), as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such
    ratio, test or basket shall be determined or tested giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction.

   

  ARTICLE II

    

    THE NOTES

   

  SECTION 2.1.          Form, Dating and Terms.

   

  
    
      (a)      The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof will be in an aggregate
        principal amount of $1,000,000,000. In addition, the Issuer may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, Additional Notes (as provided herein). Furthermore, Notes may be authenticated and delivered upon
        registration of transfer, exchange or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.6, 2.11, 2.13 or  5.6, in connection with an Asset Disposition Offer, Collateral Asset Disposition Offer or
        Collateral Advance Offer pursuant to Section 3.5 or in connection with a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 3.9.

    

  

   

  

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer may not issue any Additional Notes, unless such issuance is in compliance with Section 3.2.

   

  
    -54-

    
      


  

  With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, the following information:

   

  (A)          the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

   

  (B)          the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest shall accrue; and

   

  (C)          whether such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Notes.

   

  In authenticating and delivering Additional Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate required by Section




      13.2, an Opinion of Counsel as to the due authorization, execution, delivery, validity and enforceability of such Additional Notes.

   

  The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, provided that any Additional Notes will not be
    issued with the same CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying number as the Initial Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or if the Issuer otherwise determines that any Additional Notes
    should be differentiated from any other Notes.  Holders of the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes will vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one class, and none of the Holders of the
    Initial Notes or the Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent.

   

  
    
      (b)       The Initial Notes are being offered and sold by the Issuer pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated October 5, 2021, among the Issuer, the guarantors set forth in Schedule 2 thereto and J.P. Morgan Securities
        LLC as representative for the several Initial Purchasers.  The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes (if issued as Restricted Notes) (the “Additional Restricted Notes”) will be resold initially only to (A) Persons they reasonably believed
        to be QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and (B) Non‐U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S.  Such Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others, persons reasonably believed to be QIBs, purchasers in
        reliance on Regulation S, and AIs and IAIs in accordance with Rule 501 under the Securities Act in each case, in accordance with the procedure described herein.  Additional Notes offered after the date hereof may be offered and sold by the Issuer
        from time to time pursuant to one or more purchase agreements in accordance with applicable law.

    

  

   

  

  Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be QIBs in the United States of America in reliance on Rule 144A (the “Rule 144A Notes”) shall be issued in the form
    of a permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the “Rule 144A Global Note”),




    deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.  The Rule 144A Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate if so required by DTC’s rules regarding
    the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate.  The aggregate principal amount of the Rule 144A Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC
    or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

   

  Initial Notes and any Additional Restricted Notes offered and sold to non-U.S. Persons outside the United States of America (the “Regulation S Notes”) in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued in the form of a
    permanent global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the “Regulation S Global Note”).  Each Regulation S Global Note will be deposited upon issuance with, or
    on behalf of, the Trustee as custodian for DTC in the manner described in this Article II.  Prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Initial Notes and the Issue Date (such period through and including
    such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be transferred to non‐U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S, unless exchanged for interests in a Global Note in accordance with the transfer and
    certification requirements described herein.

   

  
    -55-

    
      


  

  Investors may hold their interests in the Regulation S Global Note through organizations other than Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme
    (“Clearstream”) that are participants in DTC’s system or directly through Euroclear or Clearstream, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems.  If such interests are held
    through Euroclear or Clearstream, Euroclear and Clearstream will hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their
    respective depositaries.  Such depositaries, in turn, will hold such interests in the applicable Regulation S Global Note in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC.

   

  The Regulation S Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate.  The aggregate principal amount
    of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

   

  Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes resold to IAIs (the “Institutional Accredited Investor Notes”) in the United States of America shall be issued in the form of a permanent global Note substantially in
    the form of Exhibit A including appropriate legends as set forth in Section 2.1(d) (the “Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note”) deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by
    the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note may be represented by more than one certificate, if so required by DTC’s rules regarding the maximum principal amount to be represented by a single certificate. The
    aggregate principal amount of the Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for DTC or its nominee, as hereinafter provided.

   

  Initial Notes and Additional Restricted Notes resold to AIs in the United States of America will be issued in the form of a Definitive Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A including the legend as set forth in Section




      2.1(d) (an “Accredited Investor Note”).

   

  The Rule 144A Global Note, the Regulation S Global Note and the Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note are sometimes collectively herein referred to as the “Global Notes.”

   

  The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent designated by the Issuer maintained for such purpose (which shall initially be the office of the
    Trustee maintained for such purpose), or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3; provided, however,
    that, at the option of the Paying Agent, each installment of interest may be paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Notes Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the
    United States maintained by the payee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph.  Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately
    available funds to the accounts specified by DTC.  Payments in respect of Notes represented by Definitive Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) held by a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented
    by Definitive Notes will be made in accordance with the Notes Register, or by wire transfer to a 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 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable, may accept in its discretion).

   

  The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage, in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A and in Section 2.1(d) .  The Issuer shall approve any
    notation, endorsement or legend on the Notes.  Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.  The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer, the
    Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to be bound by such terms.

   

  
    -56-

    
      


  

  
    
      (c)       Denominations.  The Notes shall be issuable only in fully
          registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

          

        

    

  

  
    
      (d)       Restrictive and Global Note Legends.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (1)     Unless and until (i) an Initial Note or an Additional Note issued as a Restricted Note is sold under an effective registration statement or
        (ii) the Issuer and the Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the
        provisions of the Securities Act, the Rule 144A Global Note, the Regulation S Global Note, the Institutional Accredited Investor Global Note and the Accredited Investor Note shall each bear the following legend on the face thereof:

    PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION. THE HOLDER OF THIS
    SECURITY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ANY INVESTOR ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT HAS PURCHASED SECURITIES, TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, PRIOR TO THE DATE (THE “RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE”)

    OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE ISSUER’S AND THE TRUSTEE’S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER PURSUANT TO
    CLAUSES (D) OR (E) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATION AND/ OR OTHER INFORMATION SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.

   

  
    
      (2)        Each Global Note, whether or not an Initial Note, shall bear the following legend on the face thereof:

    

     

    

  

  
    -57-

    
      


  

  UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE ISSUER OR THEIR AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER,
    EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED
    BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

   

  TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO DTC, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE
    LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.

   

  In the case of the Regulation S Global Note:  BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER HEREOF REPRESENTS THAT IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON NOR IS IT PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN
    OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

   

  
    
      (e)           Book-Entry Provisions.  (i) This Section 2.1(e) shall apply only to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, and for
        which the applicable procedures of DTC shall govern.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (1)        Each Global Note initially shall (x) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC, (y) be delivered to the Notes Custodian for DTC and (z) bear legends as set forth in Section




          2.1(d)(2).  Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to DTC, its successors or its respective nominees, except as set forth in Section 2.1(e)(4)
        and (f).  If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Notes Custodian will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or
        exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note.  Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in
        the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will
        thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (2)        Members of, or participants in, DTC (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by DTC or by the Notes Custodian
        as the custodian of DTC or under such Global Note, and DTC may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
        nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC or impair, as between DTC and its Agent Members, the
        operation of customary practices of DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (3)         In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(f) to beneficial owners who are required to hold Definitive Notes,
        the Notes Custodian shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the
        Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Definitive Notes of like tenor and amount.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (4)          In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.1(f), such Global Note shall
        be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in
        such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.

    

     

    

  

  
    -58-

    
      


  

  
    
      (5)          The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take
        any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (6)           Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book‐entry system
        maintained by (i) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (ii) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (f)            Definitive Notes.  Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes. 
        Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if (A) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or DTC ceases to
        be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days of such notice, (B) the
        Issuer in their sole discretion executes and deliver to the Trustee and Registrar an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has
        received a written request from DTC.  In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in the second preceding sentence or in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Registrar a
        reasonable supply of Definitive Notes.  In addition, any Note transferred to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer or evidencing a Note that has been acquired by an affiliate in a transaction or series of
        transactions not involving any public offering must, until one year after the last date on which the Issuer or any of its Affiliates was an owner of the Note, be in the form of a Definitive Note and bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions
        in Section 2.1(d)(1).  If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may also obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in accordance with
        DTC’s and the Registrar’s procedures.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (1)         Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(e) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the
        applicable legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Note set forth in Section 2.1(d)(1).

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (2)           If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Definitive Note, (y) record an increase in the principal
        amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and
        the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note representing the principal amount not so transferred.

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (3)            If a Definitive Note is transferred or exchanged for another Definitive Note, (x) the Trustee will cancel the Definitive Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) the Issuer shall
        execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more new Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the
        transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Definitive Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the
        entire principal amount of the canceled Definitive Note, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, one or more Definitive Notes in authorized denominations having an
        aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Definitive Notes, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

    

     

    

  

  
    -59-

    
      


  

  
    
      (4)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in no event shall a Definitive Note be delivered upon exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S
        Global Note prior to the end of the Restricted Period.

    

  

   

  

  SECTION 2.2.          Execution and Authentication. One Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronic signature.  If any Officer whose signature is on a Note no
    longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

   

  A Note shall not be valid until an authorized officer of the Trustee authenticates manually the Note.  The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been duly and validly
    authenticated and issued under this Indenture.  A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

   

  At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery:  (1) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate
    principal amount of $1,000,000,000, and (2) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes for original issue in an unlimited principal amount, in each case upon a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (the “Issuer
      Order”). Such Issuer Order shall specify whether the Notes will be in the form of Definitive Notes or Global Notes, the amount of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, the Holder of
    the Notes and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes.

   

  The Trustee may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes.  Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a
    copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer.  Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
    includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent.  An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

   

  In case the Issuer or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article IV or Section 10.2, as applicable, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey,
    transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have
    been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article IV, any of the Notes authenticated
    or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may (but shall not be required), from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the
    successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate to reflect such successor Person, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon
    the Issuer Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange.  If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor
    Person pursuant to this Section 2.2 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at
    the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

   

  SECTION 2.3.          Registrar and Paying Agent.  The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or
    agency where Notes may be presented for payment.  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Notes Register”).  The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying
    agents.  The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar.

   

  
    -60-

    
      


  

  The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture.  The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent.  The
    Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of each such agent.  If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section




      7.7.  The Issuer or any Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent.

   

  The Issuer initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.  The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.  The Issuer may change any Registrar or
    Paying Agent without prior notice to the Holders, but upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal
    shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee and the
    passage of any waiting or notice periods required by DTC procedures or (ii) written notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above.  The
    Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee.

   

  SECTION 2.4.          Paying Agent to Hold
      Money in Trust.  By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately
    available funds to pay such principal, premium or interest when due.  The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money
    held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Issuer or other obligors on the Notes), shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by
    the Issuer or any Guarantor in making any such payment and shall during the continuance of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes, upon the written request of the Trustee,
    forthwith deliver to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes together with a full accounting thereof.  If the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held
    by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund.  The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds or assets disbursed by such Paying Agent. 
    Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.  Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding
    with respect to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

   

  SECTION 2.5.          Holder Lists.  The
    Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer, on its own behalf and each of the Guarantors, shall
    furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five (5) 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 Holders.

   

  SECTION 2.6.          Transfer and Exchange.

   

  
    
      (a)       A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting
        to the Registrar a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by this Section 2.6.  The Registrar will promptly
        register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section 2.6 by noting the same in the Notes Register maintained by the Registrar for the purpose, and no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in
        such Notes Register.  The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section 2.6 and Section 2.1(e) and 2.1(f), as applicable, and, in the case of a Global
        Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream.  The Registrar shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with this paragraph.

      (b)          Transfers of Rule 144A Notes and Institutional Accredited Investor Notes.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed registration of transfer of a Rule 144A Note or an Institutional Accredited Investor Note prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of
          its original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any of its Affiliates was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”):

        the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Issuer as the undersigned has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined
        not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; provided that
        no such written representation or other written certification shall be required in connection with the transfer of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee in the form of a beneficial interest in that Rule 144A Global Note
        in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of DTC;

        certification and/or other information satisfactory to the Issuer; and

      (c)      Transfers of Regulation S Notes.  The
          following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Regulation S Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period:

        that do not bear a Restricted Notes Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear a Restricted Notes Legend unless (1)  an Initial Note is being
        transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement, (2) Initial Notes are being exchanged for Notes that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend in accordance with Section 2.6(e) or (3) there is delivered to the Registrar an

      (e)      [Reserved].

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (f)      Retention of Written Communications.  The Registrar shall
          retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this Section 2.6.  The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written
          communications, at the Issuer’s expense, at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable prior written notice to the Registrar.

       

        

    

  

  
    
      (g)      Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes.  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Issuer’s
          and the Registrar’s written request.

       

        

    

  

  No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require the Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax assessments or similar governmental charge

    an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing (or electronic delivery) or (2) fifteen (15) calendar days before an interest payment date and ending on such interest payment date or (B) called for
    redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

   

  Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar  may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner of such Note
    for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to paragraph 2 of the forms of Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, including without limitation the
    transfer or exchange of such Note, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

   

  Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(f) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.6(d), bear the applicable legend regarding transfer
    restrictions applicable to the Definitive Note set forth in Section 2.1(d)(1).

   

  All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such

            We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) purchasing for our own account or for the
              account of such an institutional “accredited investor” of at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the
              Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our investment in the Notes and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the
              normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

            We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of
              any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any of its
              Affiliates was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
              Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person we reasonably believe is a “qualified institutional buyer” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act (a “QIB”) that is purchasing
              for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales to non-U.S. persons that occur outside the United States within the meaning
              of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an
              institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000 for investment purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of the Securities Act or
              (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor
              account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any
              resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to
              the Issuer and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) and that it is acquiring such
              Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale
              Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clauses (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Issuer.

  Ladies and Gentlemen:

   

  This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[          ] principal amount of the 6.000% Second Lien Secured Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) of the Issuer.

   

  In connection with our proposed sale of $[________] aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we confirm that such sale has been effected pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the
    United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, we represent that:

   

  (a)          the offer of the Notes was not made to a person in the United States;

   

  (b)          either (i) at the time the buy order was originated, the transferee was outside the United States or we and any person acting on our behalf reasonably believed that the transferee was
    outside the United States or (ii) the transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated off‐shore securities market and neither we nor any person acting on our behalf knows that the transaction has been pre‐arranged with a buyer
    in the United States;

   

  (c)          no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States in contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(a)(2) or Rule 904(a)(2) of Regulation S, as applicable; and

   

  (d)          the transaction is not part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

   

  In addition, if the sale is made during a restricted period and the provisions of Rule 903(b)(2), Rule 903(b)(3) or Rule 904(b)(1) of Regulation S are applicable thereto, we confirm that such sale has been made in
    accordance with the applicable provisions of Rule 903(b)(2), Rule 903(b)(3) or Rule 904(b)(1), as the case may be.

   

  We also hereby certify that we [are][are not] an Affiliate of the Issuer and, to our knowledge, the transferee of the Notes [is][is not] an Affiliate of the Issuer.

   

  The Trustee and the Issuer are entitled to conclusively rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or
    official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.  Terms used in this certificate and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Regulation S.

            I am an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(4) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) and I am acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in

  SECTION 2.11.          Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.

   

  If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note
    if the requirements of Section 8‐405 of the UCC are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Issuer and the Trustee that such Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss,
    destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar has not registered a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in
    Section 8‐303 of the UCC (a “protected purchaser”), (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee and (d) provides an indemnity bond, as more fully described below; provided, however, if after the delivery of such replacement Note, a protected purchaser of the Note for which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment or registration such replaced Note, the Trustee and/or the
    Issuer shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note from the Person to whom it was issued and delivered or any Person taking therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided
    therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith.  Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the (i) Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the
    Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar, from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired
    by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a
    new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

   

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

   

  Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.11, the Issuer may require that such Holder pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
    other expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

   

  Subject to the proviso in the initial paragraph of this Section 2.11, every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.11, in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an
    original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, any Guarantor (if applicable) and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
    to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

   

  
    -68-

    
      


  

  The provisions of this Section 2.11 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

   

  SECTION 2.12.          Outstanding Notes.  Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.11 and
    those described in this Section 2.12 as not outstanding.  A Note does not cease to be outstanding in the event the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; provided, however, that (i) for purposes of determining which are outstanding for consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of Section 13.4 shall apply and (ii) in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making
    a determination whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes are present at a meeting of Holders of Notes for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
    consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be held by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer shall not be considered
    outstanding.

   

  If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.11 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receives proof satisfactory to them that the
    replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.  A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement pursuant to Section 2.11.

   

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

   

  SECTION 2.13.          Temporary




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

   

  SECTION 2.14.          Cancellation.  The
    Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else shall
    cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such Notes in accordance with its internal policies and customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act
    and the Trustee).  If the Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for
    cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.14.  The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange.

   

  
    -69-

    
      


  

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

   

  SECTION 2.15.          Payment




      of Interest; Defaulted Interest.  Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is
    registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such payment at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3.

   

  Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular record
    date, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid by the
    Issuer, at its election, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

   

  
    
      (a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the
        close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to
        be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
        aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
        benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Section 2.15(a).  Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which date shall be not more
        than twenty (20) calendar days and not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.  The Issuer
        shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special
        Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 13.1, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
        Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the
        close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the provisions in Section 2.15(b).

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (b) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
        Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 2.15(b), such manner of payment shall be deemed
        practicable by the Trustee.

    

  

   

  

  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to
    interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

   

  SECTION 2.16.          CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

   

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

      (4)     Indebtedness represented by (a) the Notes (other than any Additional Notes), including any Guarantee thereof, (b) the Existing Second Lien Notes outstanding on

      (4)        in the case of any Refinancing Indebtedness, when measuring the outstanding amount of such Indebtedness, such amount shall not include the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest,
        dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, fees, costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) in connection with such refinancing;

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (5)        Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in

      (8)         Indebtedness permitted by this Section 3.2 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and
        in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 3.2 permitting such Indebtedness;

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (9)         for all purposes under this Indenture, including for purposes of calculating the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio or the
        Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, as applicable, in connection with the incurrence, issuance or assumption of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or Section 3.2(b) or the incurrence or creation of any Lien pursuant to the definition of
        “Permitted Liens,” the Issuer may elect, at its option, to treat all or any portion of the committed amount of any Indebtedness (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) which is to be incurred (or any
        commitment in respect thereof) or secured by such Lien, as the case may be (any such committed amount elected until revoked as described below, the “Reserved Indebtedness Amount”), as being incurred as of such election date, and, if such
        Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio or other provision of this Indenture, as applicable, is complied with (or satisfied) with respect thereto on
        such election date, any subsequent borrowing or reborrowing thereunder (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will be deemed to be permitted under this Section 3.2 or the definition of “Permitted
        Liens,” as applicable, whether or not the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio or other provision of this Indenture, as applicable, at the actual
        time of any subsequent borrowing or reborrowing (or issuance or creation of letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances thereunder) is complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of
        Default); provided that for purposes of subsequent calculations of the Consolidated First Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Second Lien Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio or other provision of this Indenture,
        as applicable, the Reserved Indebtedness Amount shall be deemed to be outstanding, whether or not such amount is actually outstanding, for so long as such commitments are outstanding or until the Issuer revokes an election of a Reserved
        Indebtedness Amount;

    

     

    

  

  
    -75-

    
      


  

  
    
      (10)        notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary, in the case of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance Indebtedness initially incurred in reliance on a clause of Section
        3.2(b) measured by reference to a percentage of LTM EBITDA at the time of incurrence, if such refinancing would cause the percentage of LTM EBITDA restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the percentage of LTM EBITDA on the date of such
        refinancing, such percentage of LTM EBITDA restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus accrued and
        unpaid interest, dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, fees, costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) in connection with such refinancing; and

       

      

    

  

  
    
      (11)       the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with
        GAAP.

    

  

   

  

  Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends
    in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the reclassification of commitments or obligations not treated as Indebtedness due to a change in GAAP, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of
    this Section 3.2.

   

  If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such
    date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 3.2, the Issuer shall be in default of this Section 3.2).

   

  For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the 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 Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on
    the date of such refinancing, such 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 accrued and unpaid interest, dividends, premiums (including tender premiums) defeasance costs, underwriting discounts, fees, costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) in
    connection with such refinancing.

   

  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.2, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall not be deemed to be
    exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be
    calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

   

  For the avoidance of doubt, (1) unsecured Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated
    or junior to any other senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral or because it is guaranteed by different obligors.

      (ii)       the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Conversion Date (and not returned
        or rescinded) (including Permitted Payments made pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(1) (without duplication) and Section 3.3(b)(7), but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by Section 3.3(b)) would exceed the sum of

            applicable clause of the definition of “Permitted Investment” or Section 3.3(b)(17), as the case may be) or a dividend from a Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary after the Conversion Date; 

        

        

        

         (E)        in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary into the Issuer or

            (21)       Restricted Payments to a Parent Entity to finance Investments that would otherwise be permitted to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3 if made by the Issuer; provided that (a) such Restricted Payment shall be made substantially concurrently with the closing of such Investment, (b) such Parent Entity shall, promptly following the closing thereof, cause (1) all
              property acquired (whether assets or Capital Stock) to be contributed to the capital of the Issuer or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (2) the merger or amalgamation of the Person formed or acquired into the Issuer or one of its
              Restricted Subsidiaries (to the extent not prohibited by Section 4.1) to consummate such Investment, (c) such Parent Entity and its Affiliates (other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) receives no consideration or other
              payment in connection with such transaction except to the extent the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary could have given such consideration or made such payment in compliance with this Indenture, (d) any property received by the Issuer shall
              not increase amounts available for Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii), except to the extent the fair market value at the time of such receipt of such property exceeds the Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause
              and (e) such Investment shall be deemed to be made by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to another provision of this Section 3.3 (other than pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(12) hereof) or pursuant to the definition
              of “Permitted Investment” (other than pursuant to clause (12) thereof);

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (22) investments or other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed an amount equal to the sum of Declined Collateral Excess Proceeds and Declined Excess Proceeds; and

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (23) any Restricted Payment made in connection with a Permitted Tax Restructuring or related transactions.

             

            

          

        

        For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.3, in the event that a Restricted Payment or Investment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted
          Payments described in the clauses above, or is permitted pursuant to Section 3.3(a) and/or one or more of the clauses contained in the definition of “Permitted Investment,” the Issuer will be entitled to divide or classify (or later
          divide, classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment or Investment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 3.3, including as an Investment pursuant to one or more of
          the clauses contained in the definition of “Permitted Investment.”

         

        The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be paid, transferred or issued by the Issuer or
          such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment.  The fair market value of any cash Restricted Payment shall be its face amount, and the fair market value of any non‐cash Restricted Payment, property or assets
          other than cash shall be determined conclusively by the Issuer acting in good faith.

         

        Unrestricted Subsidiaries may use value transferred from the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in a Permitted Investment to purchase or otherwise acquire Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Issuer, any Parent
          Entity or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries, and to transfer value to the holders of the Capital Stock of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Parent Entity and to Affiliates thereof, and such purchase, acquisition, or
          transfer will not be deemed to be a “direct or indirect” action by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

         

        If the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary makes a Restricted Payment which at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment would in the good faith determination of the Issuer be permitted under the provisions of
          this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the Issuer’s financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income or
          Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer for any period.

        For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.3 shall not restrict the making of, or dividends or other distributions in amounts sufficient to make, any “AHYDO Payment” with respect to any Indebtedness of any
          Parent Entity, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred under this Indenture.

         

        SECTION 3.4.      Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries.

         

        
          
            (a)          The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the
              ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (1)          pay dividends or make any other distributions in cash or otherwise on its Capital Stock or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Issuer or any Restricted
              Subsidiary;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          make any loans or advances to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; or

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (3)          sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary;

             

            

          

        

        provided that (x) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock and (y) the
          subordination of (including the application of any standstill requirements to) loans or advances made to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed to
          constitute such an encumbrance or restriction.

         

        
          
            (b)           The provisions of Section 3.4(a) shall not prohibit:

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (1)          any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to any Credit Facility or any other agreement or instrument, in each case, in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to the Note Documents;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (3)          any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (4)           any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement or instrument of a Person or relating to any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of a Person, entered into on or before the date
              on which such Person was acquired by or merged, consolidated or otherwise combined with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or was designated as a Restricted Subsidiary or on which such agreement or instrument is assumed by the
              Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an acquisition of assets (other than Capital Stock or Indebtedness incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate, the transaction or
              series of related transactions pursuant to which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Issuer or was merged, consolidated or otherwise combined with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or entered into
              in contemplation of or in connection with such transaction) and outstanding on such date; provided that, for the purposes of this clause (4), if another Person is the Successor Company, any
              Subsidiary thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary when such Person becomes the Successor Company;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (5)          any encumbrance or restriction:  (i) that restricts in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is subject to a lease, license or
              similar contract or agreement, or the assignment or transfer of any lease, license or other contract or agreement; (ii) contained in mortgages, pledges, charges or other security agreements permitted under this Indenture or securing
              Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary permitted under this Indenture to the extent such encumbrances or restrictions restrict the transfer or encumbrance of the property or assets subject to such mortgages, pledges, charges or
              other security agreements; (iii) contained in any trading, netting, operating, construction, service, supply, purchase, sale or other agreement to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party entered into in the ordinary
              course of business or consistent with past practice; provided that such agreement prohibits the encumbrance of solely the property or assets of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that are
              subject to such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder or the proceeds thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of another Restricted
              Subsidiary; or (iv) pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set forth in any reciprocal easement agreements of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary;

                3.2 if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders than (i) the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement,
              together with the security documents associated therewith, or this Indenture as in effect on the Issue Date or (ii) in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) and where, in the case of clause (ii), either (A) the
              Issuer determines at the time of entry into such agreement or instrument that such encumbrances or restrictions will not adversely affect, in any material respect, the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes or

              instrument referred to in the clauses above or this clause (16) (an “Initial Agreement”) or contained in any amendment, supplement or other modification to an agreement referred to in the clauses above or this clause (16); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such agreement or instrument are no less
              favorable in any material respect to the Holders taken as a whole than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such refinancing or amendment, supplement or other modification relates
              (as determined in good faith by the Issuer).

              and assets subject to such Asset Disposition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Asset Disposition is a Permitted Asset Swap);

              respect thereof); provided that, if the Issuer shall so reduce, repay or repurchase such Second Lien Obligations, the Issuer ratably offer to repurchase Notes (in accordance with the procedures set
              forth below for a Collateral Asset Disposition Offer), redeem Notes as described under Section 5.7 or purchase Notes through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, (y) to make an offer (in accordance with the
              procedures set forth below for a Collateral Asset Disposition Offer), redeem Notes as described under Section 5.7 or purchase Notes through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, or (z) to reduce, prepay, repay
              or purchase any Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor (in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary); provided, however, that, in connection with any reduction,
              prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (a), the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment (other than obligations in respect of any asset-based
              credit facility to the extent the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with such Asset Disposition constituted “borrowing base assets”) to be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so reduced, prepaid, repaid or
              purchased;

          

        

         

        

        
          -86-

          
            


        

        (b) to the extent such Net Available Cash is from an Asset Disposition that does not constitute Collateral, (v) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such
          asset, (w) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase any First Lien Obligations, including Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or the First Lien Notes (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) (x) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase
          other senior Indebtedness; provided, that the Issuer ratably offer to repurchase Notes (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Disposition Offer), redeem Notes as described under Section 5.7 or purchase Notes
          through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, (y) to make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Disposition Offer), redeem Notes as described under Section 5.7 or purchase Notes
          through open-market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, or (z) to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase any Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor (in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary);
          provided, however, that, in connection with any reduction, prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (b), the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related commitment
          (other than obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility to the extent the assets sold or otherwise disposed of in connection with such Asset Disposition constituted “borrowing base assets”) to be reduced in an amount equal to the
          principal amount so reduced, prepaid, repaid or purchased;

         

        
          
            (ii)          (a) to invest (including capital expenditures) in or commit to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary);
              or (b) to invest (including capital expenditures) in any one or more businesses (provided that any such business will be a Restricted Subsidiary), properties or assets that replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject
              of such Asset Disposition, with any such investment made by way of a capital or other lease valued at the present value of the minimum amount of payments under such lease (as reasonably determined by the Issuer); provided, that the assets (including Capital Stock) acquired with the Net Available Cash of a disposition of Collateral are pledged as Collateral to the extent required under the Security Documents; provided, further, that a binding agreement shall be treated as a permitted application of Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment with the good faith expectation that an
              amount equal to Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event of any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any
              reason before such amount is applied in connection therewith, then such Applicable Proceeds shall constitute Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, as the case may be; or

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (iii)         any combination of the foregoing;

          

        

         

        provided that (1) pending the final application of the amount of any such Net Available Cash pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiaries may apply such
          Net Available Cash temporarily to reduce Indebtedness (including under the First Lien Facilities) or otherwise apply such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture, and (2) the Issuer (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the
          case may be) may elect to invest in Additional Assets prior to receiving the Net Available Cash attributable to any given Asset Disposition (provided that such investment shall be made no earlier than the earliest of notice to the Trustee of the
          relevant Asset Disposition, execution of a definitive agreement for the relevant Asset Disposition, and consummation of the relevant Asset Disposition) and deem the amount so invested to be applied pursuant to and in accordance with clause (ii)
          above with respect to such Asset Disposition.

         

        
          -87-

          
            


        

        If, with respect to any Asset Disposition of Collateral, at the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period with respect to such Asset Disposition, there remains Net Available Cash in excess of the greater of
          $100.0 million and 3.5% of LTM EBITDA (such amount, “Collateral Excess Proceeds”), then subject to the limitations with respect to Foreign Dispositions set forth below, the Issuer shall make an offer (a “Collateral Asset Disposition
            Offer”) no later than ten business days after the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period to all Holders of Notes and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted under this
          Indenture on the Collateral disposed of (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral), to all holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness or other Obligations, to purchase the maximum principal amount of such
          Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness or other Obligations, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis, that may be purchased out of such Collateral Excess Proceeds, if any, at an offer price, in the case of the Notes, in cash in an amount equal to 100% of
          the principal amount thereof (or in the event such other Indebtedness was issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or such lesser price with respect to Pari Passu
          Indebtedness or other Obligations, if any, as may be provided by the terms of such other Indebtedness), to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the
          agreement governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness or other Obligations, as applicable, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notices of a Collateral Asset Disposition Offer shall be sent by first
          class mail or sent electronically, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder of the Notes at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC with a copy to
          the Trustee. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer prior to the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period (the “Collateral
            Advance Offer”) with respect to all or a part of the Net Available Cash (the “Collateral Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture.

         

        To the extent that the aggregate amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes and, if applicable, any other Pari Passu Indebtedness or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture on the
          Collateral disposed of, as the case may be, validly tendered or otherwise surrendered in connection with a Collateral Asset Disposition Offer made with Excess Proceeds is less than the amount offered in a Collateral Asset Disposition Offer (or,
          in the case of a Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion), the Issuer may use any remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of a Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion) (the “Declined Collateral
            Excess Proceeds”) for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes or, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness or other Obligations, as the case may
          be, validly tendered pursuant to any Collateral Asset Disposition Offer exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of a Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion), the Issuer shall allocate the Collateral
          Excess Proceeds among the Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and other Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of tendered Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and
          other Obligations; provided that no Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness or other Obligations will be selected and purchased in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any Collateral Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess
          Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

         

        Subject to the requirements of the First Lien Documents, if, with respect to any Asset Disposition that does not constitute Collateral, at the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period with respect to such Asset
          Disposition, there remains Net Available Cash in excess of the greater of $100.0 million and 3.5% of LTM EBITDA (such amount, “Excess Proceeds”), then subject to the limitations with respect to Foreign Dispositions set forth below, the
          Issuer shall make an offer (an “Asset Disposition Offer”) no later than ten business days after the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period to all Holders of Notes and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders
          of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum principal amount of such Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis, that may be purchased out of such Excess Proceeds, if any, at an offer price, in the case of
          the Notes, in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or in the event such other Indebtedness was issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or such
          lesser price with respect to Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any, as may be provided by the terms of such other Indebtedness), to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
          Indenture and the agreement governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notices of an Asset Disposition Offer shall be sent by first class mail or
          sent electronically, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder of the Notes at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC with a copy to the Trustee.
          The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligation with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Disposition by making an Asset Disposition Offer prior to the expiration of the Proceeds Application Period (the “Advance Offer”) with
          respect to all or a part of the Net Available Cash (the “Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture.

         

        
          -88-

          
            


        

        
          
            (b)          To the extent that the aggregate amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Notes and, if applicable, any other Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered or otherwise surrendered in connection with
              an Asset Disposition Offer made with Excess Proceeds is less than the amount offered in an Asset Disposition Offer (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or, in the case
              of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) (the “Declined Excess Proceeds”) for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes or, if applicable,
              Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered pursuant to any Asset Disposition Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuer shall allocate the Excess Proceeds among the Notes
              and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided
              that no Notes or other Pari Passu Indebtedness will be selected and purchased in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Net Available Cash and Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

          

        

         

        

        To the extent that any portion of Net Available Cash payable in respect of the Notes is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the amount thereof payable in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net amount
          of funds in Dollars that is actually received by the Issuer upon converting such portion into Dollars.

         

        
          
            (c)          Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.5,

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (i)           to the extent that any of or all the Net Available Cash of any Asset Disposition that is received or deemed to be received by a Foreign Subsidiary or a FSHCO (a “Foreign
                Disposition”) is (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, (y) restricted by applicable organizational documents or any agreement or (z) subject to other onerous organizational or administrative impediments, in each case, from
              being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Available Cash so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 3.5, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
              or FSHCO so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law, applicable organization documents or other impediments will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Issuer hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts (as determined in
              the Issuer’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, promptly take all actions
              reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational documents or other impediments to permit such repatriation), and if within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been
              required, such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Cash is permitted under the applicable local law, applicable organizational documents or other impediments, such repatriation will be promptly effected and the amount of such
              repatriated Net Available Cash will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) (whether or not
              repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this Section 3.5; and

          

        

        
          
             

              

            
              -89-

              
                


            

            (ii)          to the extent that the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Cash of any Foreign Disposition would have an adverse Tax
              consequence (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment out of such Net Available Cash whereby doing so the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries, any Parent Entity or any of their respective affiliates and/or
              direct or indirect equity owners would incur a net Tax liability, including as a result of the receipt of a Tax dividend, a deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code or a withholding Tax), the Net Available Cash so
              affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of
              Default.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (d)          For the purposes of Section 3.5(a)(2) hereof, the following will be deemed to be cash:

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (1)          the assumption by the transferee of Indebtedness or other liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Disqualified Stock,
              Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor or Preferred Stock of a Guarantor) or the release of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness or other liability in connection with such Asset
              Disposition;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into
              cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash and Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received), in each case, within 270 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (3)          any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in Section 3.5(a)(3)(ii)(a) or (b);

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (4)           Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Issuer and each other Restricted
              Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (5)          consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Indebtedness) received from Persons who are not the Issuer or any Restricted
              Subsidiary; and

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (6)          any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Dispositions having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all
              other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 3.5 that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $900.0 million and 32.5% of LTM EBITDA, 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.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (e)          To the extent that the provisions of any First Lien Documents conflict with the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the application of proceeds of Asset Dispositions, the Issuer shall not be
              deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue of compliance therewith.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (f)           To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall not be deemed
              to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue of compliance therewith.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (g)          The provisions of this Indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Disposition may be waived or modified with the written consent of
              the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

            

          

        

        SECTION 3.6.      Limitation on Liens.  The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or permit to exist any Lien (each, an “Initial Lien”)




          that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Guarantor, unless:

        
          

          

          
            -90-

            
              


          

          
            (1)          in the case of Initial Liens on any Collateral, (i) such Initial Lien expressly has Junior Lien Priority on the Collateral relative to the Notes and the Guarantees or (ii) such
              Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien; or

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          in the case of any Initial Lien on any asset or property that is not Collateral, (i) the Notes (or a Guarantee in the case of Initial Liens on assets or property of a Guarantor)
              are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Initial Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness) the Obligations secured by such Initial Lien until such time as such Obligations are no longer secured by such
              Initial Lien or (ii) such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien,

          

        

        except that the foregoing shall not apply to Liens securing the Notes (other than any Additional Notes) and the related Guarantees.

         

        Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and
          discharge of the Initial Lien.

         

        With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of
          such Indebtedness.  The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue
          discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of
          fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.

         

        SECTION 3.7.      Limitation on Guarantees.

         

        
          
            (a)          The Issuer shall not permit any of its Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiaries
              guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer, other than a Guarantor or a Foreign Subsidiary or a Securitization Subsidiary, on and after the Issue Date to Guarantee the payment of (i) any Credit Facility permitted under Section



                3.2(b)(1) or (ii) capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any other Guarantor unless:

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (1)          such Restricted Subsidiary within 45 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture 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 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 Notes or such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee; and

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will 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 Note Guarantee until payment in full of Obligations under this Indenture.

             

            

          

        

        provided that this Section 3.7 shall not be applicable (i) to 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, or (ii) in the event that the Guarantee of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture by such Subsidiary would not be permitted under
          applicable law.

         

        
          
            (b)          The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause or allow, as the case may be, any Subsidiary or any of its Parent Entities that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a
              Guarantor, in which case, such Subsidiary or Parent Entity shall not be required to comply with the 45-day period described in Section 3.7(a) and such Guarantee may be released at any time in the Issuer’s sole discretion so long as
              any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary then outstanding could have been incurred by such Subsidiary (either (x) when so incurred or (y) at the time of the release of such Guarantee) assuming such Subsidiary were not a Guarantor at such time.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            -91-

            
              


          

          
            (c)           If any Guarantor becomes an Immaterial Subsidiary, the Issuer shall have the right, by delivery of a supplemental indenture executed by the Issuer to the Trustee, to cause such Immaterial Subsidiary
              to automatically and unconditionally cease to be a Guarantor, subject to the requirement described in Section 3.7(a) above that such Subsidiary shall be required to become a Guarantor if it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary
              (except that if such Subsidiary has been properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary it shall not be so required to become a Guarantor or execute a supplemental indenture); provided, that such
              Immaterial Subsidiary shall not be permitted to Guarantee any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility permitted under clause (i) of the second paragraph under Section 3.2(b)(1) or other Indebtedness of the Issuer or the other
              Guarantors, unless it again becomes a Guarantor.

            (a)          The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to enter into or conduct any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any
              service) with any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate value in excess of $100.0 million unless:

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (1)          the terms of such Affiliate Transaction taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be
              obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction or the execution of the agreement providing for such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate; and

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate value in excess of $250.0 million, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of
              the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

             

            

          

        

        Any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in clause (2) of this Section 3.8(a) if such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors of the Issuer, if
          any.

         

        
          
            (b) The provisions of Section 3.8(a) above shall not apply to:

              Members) of the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Parent Entities and (b) directors’ qualifying shares and shares issued to foreign nationals as required under applicable law;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (3)          any Management Advances and any waiver or transaction with respect thereto;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (4)          (a) any transaction between or among the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary (or entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction), or between or among
              Restricted Subsidiaries and (b) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation with any Parent Entity, provided that such Parent Entity shall have no material liabilities and no material assets other than
              cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Issuer and such merger, amalgamation or consolidation is otherwise permitted under this Indenture;

            (5)          the payment of compensation, fees, costs and expenses to, and indemnities (including under insurance policies) and reimbursements, employment and severance arrangements, and
              employee benefit and pension expenses provided on behalf of, or for the benefit of, future, current or former employees, directors, officers, managers, contractors, consultants, distributors or advisors (or their respective Controlled

            (6)          the entry into and performance of obligations of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under the terms of any transaction arising out of, and any payments pursuant to or

              other terms of this Section 3.8 or to the extent not disadvantageous in any material respect in the reasonable determination of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on
              the Issue Date;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (7)          any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Financing or Receivables Facility, any disposition or acquisition of Securitization Assets, Receivables Assets or
              related assets in connection with any Qualified Securitization Financing or Receivables Facility;

              ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice, which are fair to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer, or are on terms, taken as a whole, that are not materially less
              favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

              

            

          

        

        
          
            (9)          any transaction between or among the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person (including a joint venture, but excluding an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate
              of the Issuer or an Associate or similar entity solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Affiliate, Associate or
              similar entity;

              transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of Section 3.8(a)(1);

              agreement entered into after the Issue Date will only be permitted under this clause to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise, when taken as a whole, more disadvantageous to the Holders in any
              material respect in the reasonable determination of the Issuer than those in effect on the Issue Date;

              Affiliates in respect of securities or loans of the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries contemplated in the foregoing subclause (i) or that were acquired from Persons other than the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each

            (a)          If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or substantially concurrently therewith delivered a redemption notice with respect to all of the outstanding Notes as set forth under Section



                5.7(a) or Section 5.7(d), the Issuer shall make an offer  (the “Change of Control Offer”) to purchase all of the Notes at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal

              of such Change of Control Offer electronically in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC or by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or

            (1)          that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.9, and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted
              for payment by the Issuer;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment
                Date”);

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (3)          that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

          

        

        
          
             

              

            
              -95-

              
                


            

            (4)          that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue
              interest, on the Change of Control Payment Date;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (5)          that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect

              Date, or otherwise comply with DTC procedures;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (6)          that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes; provided that




              the applicable Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
              Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased, or otherwise comply with DTC procedures;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (7)          that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes
              surrendered.  The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (8)           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

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (9)          the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 3.9, that a Holder must follow.

             

            

          

        

        The applicable Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of the Notes tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by
          book‐entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of
          $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

         

        If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the Change of Control Payment Date to
          the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.

         

        
          
            (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law,

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (1)          accept for payment all Notes issued by them or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer,

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          deposit with the applicable Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered, and

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (3)          deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions

            (c)          The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (x) 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 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (y) a notice of
              redemption of all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof unless and until there is a default in the payment of the redemption price on the applicable Redemption Date or the redemption is not consummated due
              to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied.

            (d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.9, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (e)          [Reserved]

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (f)           While the Notes are in global form and the Issuer makes an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a Holder may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of
              the Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (g)           The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws, rules and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws
              or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws, rules or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
              Indenture, the Issuer shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue of compliance therewith.

             

            

          

        

        SECTION 3.10.   Reports.

         

        
          
            (a)          Notwithstanding that the Issuer may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for
              such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, from and after the Issue Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, within 15 days after the time periods specified below:

              SEC, including a “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” and a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (2)          within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
              Business Day) commencing with the first fiscal quarter ending after the Issue Date, all financial information that would be required to be contained in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or any successor or comparable form, filed with the SEC,
              including a “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations,” and financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; and

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (3)          promptly after the occurrence of any of the following events, all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K as in effect on the Issue Date (if the
              Issuer had been a reporting company under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act); provided, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Issuer to make available (i) any information regarding the occurrence
              of any of the following events if the Issuer determines in its reasonable determination that such event that would otherwise be required to be disclosed is not material to the Holders or the business, assets, operations, financial positions
              or prospects of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) an exhibit or a summary of the terms of, any employment or compensatory arrangement, agreement, plan or understanding between the Issuer or any of its

              (iv) any trade secrets, privileged or confidential information obtained from another Person and competitively sensitive information:

          

        

        
          
            

              

            
              -97-

              
                


            

            (A)          the entry into or termination of material agreements;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (B)          significant acquisitions or dispositions (which shall only be with respect to acquisitions or dispositions that are significant pursuant to the definition of “Significant
              Subsidiary”);

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (C)          bankruptcy;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (D)         cross-default under direct material financial obligations;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (E)          a change in the Issuer’s certifying independent auditor;

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (F)          the appointment or departure of directors or executive officers (with respect to the principal executive officer, president, principal financial officer, principal accounting
              officer and principal operating officer only);

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (G)          non-reliance on previously issued financial statements; and

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (H)          change of control transactions,

             

            

          

        

        in each case, in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such form, except as described above or below and subject to exceptions consistent with the presentation of information in the Offering
          Memorandum; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to provide (i) segment reporting and disclosure (including any required by FASB Accounting
          Standards Codification Topic 280), (ii) separate financial statements or other information contemplated by Rules 3-05, 3-09, 3-10, 3-16 or 4-08 of Regulation S-X (or any successor provisions) or any schedules required by Regulation S-X, (iii)
          information required by Regulation G under the Exchange Act or Item 10, Item 302, Item 402 or Item 601 of Regulation S-K (or any successor provision), (iv) XBRL exhibits, (v) earnings per share information, (vi) information regarding executive
          compensation and related party disclosure related to SEC Release Nos. 33-8732A, 34-54302A and IC-27444A, and (vii) other information customarily excluded from an offering circular for a private placement of high yield notes pursuant to Rule 144A
          under the Securities Act. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not be required to (i) comply with Sections 302, 906 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or (ii) otherwise furnish any information,
          certificates or reports required by Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K (or any successor provision).  To the extent any such information is not so filed or furnished, as applicable, within the time periods specified above and such information is
          subsequently filed or furnished, as applicable, the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured; provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under Section 6.1 hereof if Holders of at least 30.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have declared the principal,
          premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately and such declaration shall not have been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.  In addition, to the extent not
          satisfied by the foregoing, the Issuer shall agree that, for so long as any Notes are outstanding, it shall furnish to Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered
          pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

         

        
          
            (b)          If the Issuer has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries or group of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, if taken together as one Subsidiary, would
              constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, then the annual and quarterly financial information required by Section 3.10(a)(1) and (2) will include a presentation of selected financial metrics, in the Issuer’s sole
              discretion, of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries as a group in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

          

        

        
          
             

              

            
              -98-

              
                


            

            (c)          Substantially concurrently with the furnishing of such information to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.10(a), the Issuer shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to post copies of
              such information required by Section 3.10(a) on a website (which may be nonpublic, require a confidentiality acknowledgement and may be maintained by the Issuer or a third party) (the “Noteholder Website”) to which access will
              be given to the Holders, bona fide prospective investors in the Notes (which prospective investors shall be limited to “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act or non-U.S. persons (as defined in
              Regulation S under the Securities Act) that certify their status as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer), and securities analysts (to the extent providing analysis of an investment in the Notes) and market making financial
              institutions that are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer who agree to treat such information and reports as confidential; provided that the Issuer may deny access to any competitively-sensitive information and reports otherwise to be
              provided pursuant to this paragraph to any Holder, bona fide prospective investors, security analyst or market maker that is a competitor of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries to the extent that the Issuer determines in good faith that the
              provision of such information and reports to such Person would be competitively harmful to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries. The Issuer may condition the delivery of any such reports to such Holders, prospective investors in the Notes and
              securities analysts and market making financial institutions on the agreement of such Persons to (i) treat all such reports (and the information contained therein) and information as confidential, (ii) not use such reports (and the
              information contained therein) and information for any purpose other than their investment or potential investment in the Notes and (iii) not publicly disclose any such reports (and the information contained therein) and information.

          

        

        
          
             

              

            (d)          The Issuer will participate in quarterly conference calls (which may be a single conference call together with investors and lenders holding other securities or Indebtedness of the Issuer, its
              Restricted Subsidiaries and/or any Parent Entity) to discuss results of operations. The conference call will be following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Issuer and not later than twenty (20) Business Days from the time that the
              Issuer distributes the financial information as set forth in Section 3.10(a). No fewer than two days prior to the conference call, the Issuer will announce on the Noteholder Website the time and date of such conference call and
              provide instructions for Holders, bona fide prospective investors in the Notes (which prospective investors shall be limited to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the
              Securities Act or non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) that certify their status as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer), and securities analysts to obtain access to such call.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (e)          The Issuer may satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 3.10 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to a Parent
              Entity, including the Parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such Parent
              Entity (and other Parent Entities included in such information, if any), on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.  For the avoidance of doubt, the
              consolidating information referred to in the proviso in the preceding sentence need not be audited.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (f)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.10, if the Issuer or any Parent Entity has furnished to the Holders of Notes or filed with the SEC the reports described
              in Section 3.10 with respect to the Issuer or any Parent Entity, the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.10.

             

            

          

        

        
          
            (g)          Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Indenture is for informational purposes only and the information and Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute
              actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants thereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
              exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no duty to review or analyze reports delivered to it or determine whether any filings described in this Section 3.10 have been made.

    SECTION 3.11.          Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     

    The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where, if applicable, the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.  The corporate trust
      office of the Trustee, which initially shall be located at Wilmington Trust, National Association, 50 South Sixth Street, Suite 1290, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402, Attention: Frontier Communications Notes Administrator, shall be such office or agency
      of the Issuer, unless the Issuer shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more of such purposes.  The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency.  If at
      any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and the
      Issuer hereby appoint the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations and surrenders.

     

    The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation. 
      The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.  No office of the Trustee shall be an office or agency of the Issuer for the purposes
      of service of legal process on the Issuer or any Guarantor.

     

    SECTION 3.12.          After-Acquired Collateral.

     

      (a)          On or following the Issue Date, if property that is intended to be Collateral is acquired by the Issuer or Grantor (including property of a Person that becomes a new Grantor) that is not automatically
        subject to a perfected security interest under the Security Documents, then the Issuer or Grantor will provide a second-priority Lien over such property (or, in the case of a new Grantor, such of its property) in favor of the Collateral Agent and
        deliver certain certificates in respect thereof, all as and to the extent required by the Indenture or the Security Documents.

       

    

    
       

    

    
      
        (b)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, opinions of counsel will not be required in connection with any additional Grantor entering into the Security Documents or to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected
          security interest in after-acquired collateral owned by such Grantor.

      

    

    
      
         

          

        (c)         The Issuer shall cause copies of any documents delivered to the Collateral Agent to be delivered to the Trustee.

         

        

      

    

    SECTION 3.13.          Compliance Certificate.  The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer an Officer’s Certificate, the signer of which shall be an
      Officer  of the Issuer, stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knows of any
      Default or Event of Default that occurred during the previous fiscal year; provided that no such Officer’s Certificate shall be required for any fiscal year ended prior to the Issue Date.  If such Officer
      does have such knowledge, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and the action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Defaults or
      Events of Default unless written notice of an event, which is in fact a Default or Event of Default, as the case may be, has been delivered to the Trustee.

     

    SECTION 3.14.          Further Instruments and Acts.  Upon request of the Trustee or as necessary to comply with future developments or requirements, the Issuer will execute and deliver such further instruments
      and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

     

    
      
        SECTION 3.15.          Limitation on Layering.  No Guarantor shall, and the Issuer shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Issuer, unless:

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (1)           in the case of any such Guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer secured by Liens on the Collateral with Pari Passu Lien Priority relative to the Notes, such Guarantee shall be
          subordinated in right of payment to any Guarantee of such Guarantor of First Lien Obligations and shall rank equal in right of payment with the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

         

        

        
          -100-

          
            


        

      

    

    
      
        (2)           in the case of any such Guarantee of unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuer or Indebtedness of the Issuer secured by Liens on the Collateral with Junior Lien Priority relative to the
          Notes, such Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor.

         

        

      

    

    SECTION 3.16.          Statement by Officers as to Default.  The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days after the Issuer becomes aware of the occurrence of any
      Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default, its status and the actions which the Issuer are taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

     

    SECTION 3.17.          Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.  The Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause an Event of
      Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted
      Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted
      Investments, as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Issuer may
      redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause an Event of Default.

     

    Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the
      preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 3.3 hereof. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary
      for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date by Section 3.2 hereof,
      the Issuer will be in default of such covenant.

     

    The Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness
      by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 3.2 hereof (including pursuant to Section
        3.2(b)(5) treating such redesignation as an acquisition for the purpose of such clause), calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference
      period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. Any such designation by the Issuer shall be evidenced to the Trustee by delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such
      designation complies with the preceding conditions.

     

    SECTION 3.18.          Suspension of Certain Covenants on Achievement of Investment Grade Status. Beginning on the first day after the Issue Date that (a) the Notes have achieved Investment Grade Status and (b) no
      Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, and ending on a Reversion Date (such period a “Suspension Period”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 3.2,
      3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.8 and 4.1(a)(3) (the “Suspended Covenants”).

     

    If at any time after the Issue Date the Notes cease to have such Investment Grade Status, then the Suspended Covenants shall thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reversion Date”)




      and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain Investment
      Grade Status and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Status); provided,
      however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of
      the Issuer nor any its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date that
      were permitted at such time, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period.

     

    
      -101-

      
        


    

    On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 3.2(b)(4)(d).  On and
      after the Reversion Date, all Liens created during the Suspension Period will be considered Permitted Liens pursuant to clause (11) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.”  Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made
      as Restricted Payments under Section 3.3 will be made as though Section 3.3 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period.  Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension
      Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 3.3(a).  In addition, any future obligation to grant further Note Guarantees shall be released.  All such further obligations to grant Guarantees
      shall be reinstated on the Reversion Date.  No Default or Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken or the continuance of any circumstances resulting from actions
      taken or the performance of obligations under agreements entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period (other than agreements to take actions after the Reversion Date that would not be permitted outside
      of the Suspension Period entered into in contemplation of the Reversion Date).

     

    On and after each Reversion Date, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate the transactions contemplated by any contract entered into during the Suspension Period, so long as such contract and such
      consummation would have been permitted during such Suspension Period.

     

    The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of the ratings of the Notes and shall have no duty to notify Holders if the Notes achieve Investment Grade
      Status or of the occurrence of a Reversion Date.

        (3)           immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, either (a) the applicable Successor Company or the Issuer would be able to incur at least an additional $1.00 of

          extent required in this Indenture or the applicable Security Documents and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected to the extent required by the applicable Security Documents.

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (b)         [Reserved].

      

    

    
      
         

        

        (c)        The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture, and the Issuer will automatically and
          unconditionally be released and discharged from its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (except in the case of a lease).

      REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     

    SECTION 5.1.            Notices to Trustee.  If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 5.7 hereof, the Issuer must furnish to the Trustee, at least
      10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

     

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

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)           the Redemption Date;

         

        

      

    

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

          

        

      

    

    
      
        (4)           the redemption price.

         

        

      

    

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

     

    SECTION 5.2.          Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.7 or purchased in an Asset Disposition Offer pursuant to Section



        3.5, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase (a) if the Notes are in global form, on a pro rata basis, by lot, or by such other method in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC and (b) if the Notes are in definitive
      form in their entirety, on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustments to maintain the authorized Notes denomination requirements) or by lot, except if otherwise required by law.

     

    
      -104-

      
        


    

    No Notes in an unauthorized denomination or of $2,000 in aggregate principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part.  In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be
      selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase; provided that the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with sufficient notice of such partial redemption to enable the Trustee to select the Notes for partial redemption.

     

    The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be
      redeemed or purchased.  Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire
      outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this
      Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

     

    SECTION 5.3.            Notice of Redemption.  At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Issuer will send or cause to be sent, by electronic delivery or by first class mail
      postage prepaid, a notice of redemption to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) whose Notes are to be redeemed at the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC,
      except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles



      VIII or XI hereto.

     

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

     

    
      
        (1)           the Redemption Date;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)           the redemption price;

         

        

      

    

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

         

        

      

    

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

      

    

    
      
         

        

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

      

    

    
      
         

        

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

      

    

    
      
         

        

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

      

    

    
      
         

        

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

      

    

     

    

    
      -105-

      
        


    

    At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that
      the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee, at least three (3) Business Days (or if any of the Notes to be redeemed are in definitive form, five (5) Business Days) prior to the date on which the Issuer instructs the Trustee to give the notice (or such
      shorter period as the Trustee may agree), 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.

     

    Notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of a transaction (including but not limited to an Equity Offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness, a Change of
      Control or other transaction) and any redemption notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction.  If such redemption or purchase is so subject
      to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after
      the date the Notice of Redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or
      all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.  In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations
      with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

     

    SECTION 5.4.            [Reserved].

     

    SECTION 5.5.            Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.  Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City Time on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
      sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return, on or following the applicable redemption or repurchase
      date, to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

     

    If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. 
      If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a record date but on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date or purchase date shall be paid on the Redemption
      Date or purchase date to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.  If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender
      for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any
      interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 3.1 hereof.

     

    SECTION 5.6.            Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.  Upon surrender of a Note issued in physical form that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee will authenticate for
      the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided, that each such
      new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

     

    In the case of a Note issued as a global note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof; provided, that the unredeemed portion thereof will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

     

    SECTION 5.7.            Optional Redemption.

     

    
      
        (a)             At any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at their option, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, with a copy to the Trustee, to
          each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Notes Register, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) equal to 100.000% plus the relevant Applicable Premium as
          of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

         

        

         

        
          -106-

          
            


        

        (b)            At any time and from time to time prior to October 15, 2024, the Issuer may, on one or more occasions, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, with a copy to the Trustee, to each
          Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Notes Register, redeem up to 40.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture on the Issue Date (together with Additional Notes) at a redemption
          price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed) equal to 106.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of the
          Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the net cash proceeds received by the Issuer of one or more Equity Offerings of the Issuer; provided that




          not less than 50.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (including Additional Notes but excluding Notes
          held by the Issuer or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries), unless all such Notes are redeemed substantially concurrently; provided further that each such redemption occurs not later than 180 days after
          the date of closing of the related Equity Offering. The Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described under Sections 5.1 through 5.6.

      

    

    
      

      

    

    
      
        (c)             Except pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.7, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to October 15, 2024.

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (d)            At any time and from time to time on or after October 15, 2024, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, with a copy to the
          Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Notes Register at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth in the table below, plus accrued and
          unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during
          the twelve‐month period beginning on October 15 of each of the years indicated in the table below:

              100.000%

            


    

    

    

    
      
        (e)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including a Change of Control Offer, Collateral Asset Disposition Offer or Asset Disposition Offer, if Holders of not
          less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Issuer, purchases all of
          the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party shall have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the
          address of such Holder appearing in the Notes Register, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each other
          Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to but excluding, the date of such redemption.

          

        

      

    

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

          

        

      

    

    
      
        (g)             Any redemption pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1 through 5.6.

    SECTION 5.8.            Mandatory Redemption.  The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes; provided,
      however, that under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes under Section 3.5 and Section 3.9.  As market conditions warrant, the Issuer and their equityholders, including members of management,
      may from time to time seek to purchase outstanding debt securities or loans, including the Notes, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

          	(i)

          	(iii)	
            orders the liquidation of the Issuer, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of Parent that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

          any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (or the
          payment of which is Guaranteed by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would
          constitute a Significant Subsidiary)) other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, which default:

         

        

      

    

    (A)          is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness, at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods provided in such Indebtedness); or

     

    (B)          results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated final maturity;

     

    and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default of principal at its stated final maturity
      (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates to $250.0 million or more at any one time outstanding; or

     

    
      
        (7)          [reserved];

          an aggregate amount exceeding $250 million (to the extent not covered by independent third-party insurance) and such judgment or order shall not have been satisfied, vacated, discharged or stayed or bonded pending an appeal for a period of sixty
          (60) days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

      

    

    
      
         

        

        (9)          any Guarantee of the Notes by a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms, in each case in
          writing, its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes, other than (A), in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or (B) in connection with the bankruptcy of a Guarantor, so long as the aggregate assets of such Guarantor and any other
          Guarantor whose Note Guarantee ceased or ceases to be in full force as a result of a bankruptcy are less than $250 million;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (10)         (i) the Liens created by the Security Documents shall at any time not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby
          (unless perfection is not required by this Indenture or the Security Documents) other than (A) in accordance with the terms of the relevant Security Document and this Indenture, (B) the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under this Indenture
          or (C) any loss of perfection that results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Security Documents and (ii) such default continues for 30 days
          after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes; provided, that such default relates to Liens in excess
          of $50.0 million; and

      

    

    
      
         

        

        
          -109-

          
            


        

        (11)         the Issuer or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Guarantors that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer
          and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any security interest in any Security Document is invalid or unenforceable.

         

        

      

    

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

     

    (c)            Any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 3.10 hereof or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision
      of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such provision or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture. Any
      time period in this Indenture to cure any actual or alleged Default or Event of Default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     

    

     SECTION 6.2.            Acceleration.  If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (4) or (5) of Section 6.1(a)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to
      the Issuer or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. 
      Upon such a declaration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable immediately.

     

    In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (6) of Section 6.1(a), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any
      action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose:

     

    
      
        (1)           (x)           the Indebtedness that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full; or

         

        

      

    

    (y)             the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

     

    (z)             the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured; and

     

    
      
        (2)          the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

      

    

     

    

    If an Event of Default described in clause (4) or (5) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes will become and be immediately due and
      payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

     

    
      -110-

      
        


    

    Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee or Collateral Agent to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided
      by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee and Collateral Agent, if applicable, that such Holder is not (or, in the case
      such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of
      a notice of Default (a “Default Direction”) shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at
      the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation
      within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner
      of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable.

     

    If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time,
      in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer has initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time,
      in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Default, Event of Default or acceleration (or notice thereof) that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be
      automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Default or Event of Default  that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable
      determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing
      Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Default or Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction
      shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and,
      if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be
      void ab initio (other than any indemnity such Directing Holder may have offered the Trustee or the Collateral Agent), with the effect that such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee or
      Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default.

     

    Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee or Collateral Agent during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or
      similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs.

     

    For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or
      investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with
      respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability to the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person in acting in
      good faith on a Noteholder Direction.

     

    SECTION 6.3.            Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or
      premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

     

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

      SECTION 6.4.            Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders,
        (a) waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture and the
        Security Documents except (i) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest, on a Note or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the
        consent of each Holder affected and (b) rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (2) all existing Events of
        Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments
        of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (4) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements
        and advances and (5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (6) of Section 6.1(a), the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
        such Event of Default has been cured or waived.  No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.  When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to
        any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

       

      SECTION 6.5.           Control by Majority.  Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of
        conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.  However, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may refuse
        to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Notes or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee
        or Collateral Agent in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent have no duty to determine whether any action is prejudicial to any Holder); provided, however, that the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction.  Prior to taking any such
        action hereunder, the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to the Trustee against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) caused by taking or not
        taking such action.

       

      SECTION 6.6.            Limitation on Suits.  Subject to Section 6.7, a Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

       

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (2)      Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (3)      such Holders have offered in writing and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

           

          

        

      

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (5)       Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with
            such request within such 60‐day period.

           

          

        

      

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

       

      
        -112-

        
          


      

      SECTION 6.7.            Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.6), the contractual right of any Holder to
        receive payment of interest on the Notes held by such Holder or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder (and, for the
        avoidance of doubt, the amendment, supplement or modification in accordance with the terms of this Indenture of Articles III and IV and Section 6.1(a)(3), (4), (5) and (6) and the related
        definitions shall be deemed not to impair the contractual right of any Holder to receive payments of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
        or with respect to such Holder’s Note).

       

      SECTION 6.8.            Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in
        its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.7.

       

      SECTION 6.9.            Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
        (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or its or their
        respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and may vote on behalf of the
        Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
        Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due
        the Trustee under Section 7.7.

       

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

       

      SECTION 6.10.          Priorities.

       

      
        
          (a)          Subject to the Security Documents, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI (including upon exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral), it shall pay
            out the money or property in the following order:

           

          

        

      

       FIRST:  to the Trustee and to the Collateral Agent, in each case for amounts due to it under Section 7.7 and Section 12.7(z);

       

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

       

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

       

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

        

         

        

      

      
        -113-

        
          


      

      SECTION 6.11.          Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a
        court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against
        any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Issuer, a suit by a Holder
        pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 20.0% in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

       

      ARTICLE VII

      

        TRUSTEE

       

      SECTION 7.1.            Duties of Trustee.

       

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

           

          

        

      

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (1)    the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
            against the Trustee; and

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (2)     in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct 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, opinions or orders furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be.  However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are
            specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture or the Notes, as the case may be (but need not confirm
            or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

           

          

        

      

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (1)      this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.1(b);

           

          

        

      

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (3)       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 6.5;
            and

           

          

        

      

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (d)     Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.1.

            (e)     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.

          

           

          

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (g)     Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1.

           

          

        

      

      SECTION 7.2.            Rights of Trustee.  Subject to Section 7.1:

       

      
        
          (a)       The Trustee may conclusively rely on and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
            consent, judgment, order or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably 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.  The Trustee shall receive and retain financial reports and statements of the Issuer as provided herein, but shall have no duty to review or analyze such reports or statements to determine compliance with
            covenants or other obligations of the Issuer.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (b)       Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
            faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (c)       The Trustee may execute any of the trusts and powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
            negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (d)       The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

           

          

        

      

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (f)         The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default or whether any entity or group of entities constitutes a Significant Subsidiary unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee
            has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or of any such Significant Subsidiary is received by the Trustee at the corporate trust office of the Trustee specified in Section 3.11,
            and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and states that it is a “Notice of Default.”

        

      

      
        
           

            

          (g)         The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee
            in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder, including the Collateral Agent.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (h)          Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Notes at the request, order or direction of any
            of the Holders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee and
            Collateral Agent, as applicable, against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

        

      

      
        
           

            

          (i)          The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter unless such fact or matter is known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee.

        

         

        

      

      
        -115-

        
          


      

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

        

      

      
        
           

            

          (k)         The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, report, notice, request, direction, judgment, consent,
            order, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or 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, during business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books, records and premises of the Issuer and the 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.

        

      

      
        
           

            

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

        

      

      
        
           

            

          (m)        The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to
            this Indenture or the Notes.

        

      

      
        
           

            

          (n)         In no event shall the Trustee be liable to any Person for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits),
            even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage.

        

      

      
        
           

            

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

        

      

      
        
           

            

          (p)         The permissive rights of the Trustee under this Indenture and the other Note Documents shall not be construed as duties.

        

      

       

      

      SECTION 7.3.            Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Guarantors or their
        Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co‐paying agent may do the same with like rights.  However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 



        In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuer and their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries.

       

      SECTION 7.4.            Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes, the Junior Intercreditor
        Agreement, the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or the Security Documents, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes, shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any
        Paying Agent other than the Trustee or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, shall not be responsible for any action or inaction of the Collateral Agent and shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in
        this Indenture, the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of
        authentication.

       

      SECTION 7.5.            Notice of Defaults.  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall send electronically or by first
        class mail to each Holder at the address set forth in the Notes Register notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of
        principal of or interest, if any, on any Note (including payments pursuant to the optional redemption or required repurchase provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that
        withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

       

      
        -116-

        
          


      

      SECTION 7.6.            [Reserved].

       

      SECTION 7.7.            Compensation and Indemnity.  The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services hereunder and under the Notes as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from
        time to time agree in writing.  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 upon request for all reasonable out‐of‐pocket expenses incurred or
        made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
        expenses, disbursements and advances of the agents, counsel, accountants and experts of the Trustee.  The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee, its directors, officers, employees and agents against any and
        all loss, liability, damages, claims or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee) (including reasonable attorneys’ and agents’ fees and expenses) incurred by it without willful misconduct or gross negligence,
        as determined by a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, on its part in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, under the Notes and the other Note Documents, including
        the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.7) and the Notes and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or otherwise).  The Trustee shall notify the Issuer
        promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which it has received written notice.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder.  The Issuer shall defend the claim and the
        Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the
        Issuer shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel if it assumes the Trustee’s defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the
        Trustee in connection with such defense; provided further that, the Issuer shall be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in evaluating such conflict.

       

      To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7 and Section 12.7(z), the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than
        money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.  Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.  The Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’s respective right to receive payment of any
        amounts due under this Section 7.7 and Section 12.7(z) shall not be subordinate to any other liability or Indebtedness of the Issuer.

       

      The Issuer’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and any resignation or removal of the Trustee under Section 7.8.  Without prejudice to any
        other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs fees, expenses or renders services after the occurrence of a Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) of Section 6.1(a), the fees and
        expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Code.

       

      SECTION 7.8.            Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such resignation.  The Holders of a
        majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the removed Trustee in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such removal and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s
        written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

       

      
        
          (1)     the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

        

      

      
        
           

            

          (2)     the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

        

      

      
        
           

            

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

           

          

          
            
              
                (4)      the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

              

            

          

        

         

        

        
          -117-

          
            


        

      

    

  

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

     

    

    A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
      Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders.  The retiring Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, promptly transfer all
      property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7.

     

    If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may petition,
      at the Issuer’s expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     

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

     

    Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.  The predecessor Trustee
      shall have no liability for any action or inaction of any successor Trustee.

     

    SECTION 7.9.          Successor Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation
      or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

     

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

     

    SECTION 7.10.        Eligibility; Disqualification.  This Indenture shall always have a Trustee.  The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent
      published annual report of condition.

     

    SECTION 7.11.        [Reserved].

     

    SECTION 7.12.        Trustee’s Application for Instruction from the Issuer.  Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Issuer may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any
      action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of,
      the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date any Officer of the Issuer actually receives such
      application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to
      such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

     

    
      -118-

      
        


    

    SECTION 7.13.        Security Documents; Intercreditor Agreements. By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders hereby (i) are deemed to have accepted the terms of, agreed to be bound by and authorized and
      directed each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter into and perform its respective obligations under, the Security Documents and (ii) except to the extent provided by Article IX, authorize and instruct the Trustee
      and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, without any further consent of any Holder or any other Notes Secured Party, to enter into, amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify any intercreditor agreement, the
      Security Documents, the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of, and binding with respect to, the Holders of the Notes and their interest in designated assets, in connection with the incurrence of any
      Additional First Lien Obligations, any Additional Second Lien Obligations and/or any additional Junior Lien Obligations, including to clarify the respective rights of all parties in and to designated assets; provided,
      however, that any amendment, renewal, extension, supplement, restatement, replacement, waiver or other modification of the Security Documents shall be no less favorable, taken as a whole, to Holders in any
      material respect (including with respect to priority of Liens) than the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee, subject to Article IX, will enter into, amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify
      any such intercreditor agreement, the Security Documents, the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or Junior Intercreditor Agreement at the request of the Issuer, and any intercreditor agreement entered into by the Collateral Agent and/or the
      Trustee shall be binding on the Notes Secured Parties, Holders and the Notes Secured Parties hereby agree that they will take no actions contrary to the provisions of, if entered into and if applicable, any intercreditor agreement, provided that the Issuer will have delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such other intercreditor agreement complies with the provisions of this Indenture
      and the Security Documents. Each Holder hereby agrees that the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment, (1) to any Second Lien Security Document solely as such Second Lien Security Document relates to a particular series of Second Lien
      Obligations so long as (x) such amendment is in accordance with the Second Lien Documents pursuant to which such series of Second Lien Obligations was incurred (including, in the case of the Notes, this Indenture) and (y) such amendment does not
      adversely affect the material rights of the Holders of any other series, (2) to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property (but not including Excluded
      Assets) to become collateral for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties (including entering into and/or modifying any intercreditor agreement in connection with Indebtedness not prohibited under any Second Lien Document that is or is
      contemplated to be subject to a Lien permitted by the Second Lien Documents (subject to any restrictions set forth in the Second Lien Documents as to the priority of any such Lien relative to any Lien securing, or required to be granted to secure,
      the Second Lien Obligations)), (3) as required by local law or to comply with advice from local counsel to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security
      interests therein comply with applicable law or any Second Lien Document or (4) to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of the Second Lien Secured Parties under the Security Documents; provided, that the
      Collateral Agent and the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer stating that such amendment is not expressly prohibited by the terms of each then extant Second Lien Document. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in
      doing so, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in
      entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, the Security Documents, the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or Junior Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent each shall have
      all of the rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements). The Issuer shall have
      the right to determine whether Obligations with respect to any Additional Second Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations will, as between such Additional Second Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations and the Note Obligations, rank pari passu or junior with respect to the Collateral, senior, pari passu or junior in right of payment, and as between or among such Additional Second Lien Obligations,
      Junior Lien Obligations and any other Second Lien Obligations, rank pari passu or junior with respect to the Collateral or right of payment, in each case to the extent permitted under the applicable Second
      Lien Security Documents and this Indenture.

        SECTION 7.14.        Limitation on Duty of Trustee in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification

         

          

      

    

    
      
        (a)          Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or
          any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments
          in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in
          its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or
          omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any action or inaction of the Collateral Agent.

      

    

    
      

      

      
        (b)          The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any
          of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of
          the title of the Issuer or the Guarantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral (except with respect to
          certificates delivered to the Collateral Agent representing securities pledged under the Security Documents). The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of
          this Indenture, the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or the Security Documents by the Issuer, any Guarantor or the Collateral Agent.

      

    

     

    

    ARTICLE VIII

      

      LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     

    SECTION 8.1.          Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance; Defeasance.  The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof be
      applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

     

    SECTION 8.2.          Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will,
      subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees) and the Security Documents with respect
      to such Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
      Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1)
      and (2) below, and to have satisfied all of their other obligations under the Note Documents (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer
      acknowledging the same) and the Security Documents, and to have cured all then existing Events of Default, except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

     

    
      
        (1)       the rights of Holders of Notes issued under this Indenture to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes when such payments are
          due solely out of the trust referred to in Section 8.4 hereof;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)       the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes under Article II concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and
          Section 3.11 hereof concerning the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        
          -120-

          
            


        

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

         

        

      

    

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

      

    

     

    

    SECTION 8.3.          Covenant Defeasance.  Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, each Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, subject
      to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8,
      3.9, 3.10, 3.12, 3.14, 3.15, 3.19, 3.20, 3.21, and Section 4.1 (except Section 4.1(a)(1) and (a)(2)) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and
      after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
      declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder.  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
      the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of
      any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section



        6.1(a) hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees will be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this
      Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(a)(3) (other than with respect to Section 4.1(a)(1) and (a)(2)), Section 6.1(a)(6),
      6.1(a)(8), 6.1(a)(9), and 6.1(a)(4) (with respect only to a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(a)(5) (with respect
      only to a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.1(a)(10) and 6.1(a)(11) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

     

    SECTION 8.4.          Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.  In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof:

     

    
      
        (1)       the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
          will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, interest, due on the Notes issued under this Indenture on the stated maturity date or on the
          applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to 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 purposes of this 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, as calculated by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as the Issuer shall designate, with any deficit as of 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 at least two (2) Business Days before the Redemption Date that confirms
          that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)       in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions;

         

        

      

    

    (A)        the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

     

    (B)        since the issuance of such 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 beneficial owners of the Notes, in their capacity as beneficial owners
      of the Notes, will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
      been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

     

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

         

        

      

    

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

        

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (5)       such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Credit 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;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (6)       [reserved];

         

        

      

    

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

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (8)       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 to
          the effect 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 8.5.          Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations
      (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be
      held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to
      the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

     

    The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal
      and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

     

    Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as
      provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section
        8.4(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     

    
      -122-

      
        


    

    SECTION 8.6.          Repayment to the Issuer.  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or
      interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person or (if then
      held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the
      Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
      Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains
      unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

     

    SECTION 8.7.          Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3
      hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the
      Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance
      with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer make any payment of principal of, premium, or interest on,
      any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

        (7)       make such provisions as necessary for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

          benefit of the Notes, or to confirm and evidence the release, termination, discharge or retaking of any Guarantee or Lien with respect to or securing the Notes when such release, termination, discharge or retaking is provided for under this
          Indenture;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (9)       evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee, a successor Collateral Agent or successor Paying Agent thereunder pursuant to the
          requirements hereof or to provide for the accession by the Trustee or Collateral Agent to any Note Document;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (10)     secure the Notes and/or the related Note Guarantees or to add collateral thereto;

      Collateral Agent will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements, unless such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or
      intercreditor agreements affects the Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture and the Security Documents or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its
      discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements.

     

    
      -124-

      
        


    

    SECTION 9.2.          With Consent of Holders.  Except as provided below in this Section 9.2, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, any
      Guarantee, the Security Documents and the Notes issued hereunder with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all the outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture, including, without limitation, consents obtained
      before or after a Change of Control or in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium,
      if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the
      consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all the outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture (including consents obtained before or after a Change of Control or in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or
      exchange offer for Notes).  Section 2.12 hereof and Section 13.4 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.2.

     

    Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon delivery to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of evidence of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and/or the
      Collateral Agent of the documents described in Section 9.6 and Section 13.2 hereof, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent will join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture,
      security documents or intercreditor agreements unless such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements affect the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this
      Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements.

     

    Without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes issued thereunder and held by a nonconsenting Holder:

     

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

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)       reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any such Note (other than provisions relating to Section 3.5 and Section 3.9);

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (3)       reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any such Note (other than provisions relating to Section 3.5 and Section 3.9);

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (4)       reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any such Note or change the time at which any such Note may be redeemed, in each case as set forth in Section 5.7;

        

         

        

      

    

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

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (6)       impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor;

         

        

      

    

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

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (8)       make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions which require the Holders’ consent described in this Section 9.2.

         

        

      

    

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may (A) make any change in any Security Document
      or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral with the effect of releasing the Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral which secure the Obligations in respect of the Notes
      or (B) change or alter the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations in respect of the Notes in any material portion of the Collateral in any way materially adverse, taken as a whole, to the Holders (as determined in good faith by the Issuer),
      other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents.

     

    
      -125-

      
        


    

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

     

    SECTION 9.3.          [Reserved].

     

    SECTION 9.4.          Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.  Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a
      Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on any Note.  However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder
      of a Note may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.  An amendment, supplement or waiver
      becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

     

    The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Section 9.4 or required or
      permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons,
      shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120
      days after such record date.

     

    SECTION 9.5.          Notation on or Exchange of Notes.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Issuer in exchange for all
      Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

     

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

     

    SECTION 9.6.          Trustee to Sign Amendments.  The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements authorized pursuant to this
      Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.  In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and the
      Collateral Agent will be entitled to receive and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 hereof) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.2 hereof, an Officer’s
      Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or security documents or intercreditor agreements is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is valid, binding and enforceable against
      the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon (a) execution and delivery
      by such Guarantor and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B hereto and (b) delivery of an Officer’s Certificate complying with the provisions of Sections 9.6,
      14.3 and 14.4 hereof.

     

    
      -126-

      
        


    

    ARTICLE X

      

      GUARANTEE

     

    SECTION 10.1.        Guarantee.  Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each Guarantor that executes this Indenture or a supplemental indenture hereto will fully, unconditionally and irrevocably
      guarantee, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption
      or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Issuer under this Indenture (including without limitation interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy,
      or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post‐filing or post‐petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 7.7
      and Section 12.7(z)), (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness
      of such Guarantor, except (i) to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations are subordinated to any First Lien Obligations pursuant to the Junior Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) to the extent such other Indebtedness is subordinate to the Guaranteed
      Obligations, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to such other Indebtedness.

     

    To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor.

     

    Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the
      Notes.

     

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

     

    Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound
      under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

     

    Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment.  Each Guarantor waives notice of any default
      under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.

     

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

     

    Except as set forth in Section 10.2, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed
      Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
      unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any
      Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission,
      waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any
      right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Issuer; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay
      to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

     

    
      -127-

      
        


    

    Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with
      Section 10.2, Article VIII or Article XI.  Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
      principal of, premium, if any, interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

     

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

     

    Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this
      Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable
      by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee.

     

    Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders in enforcing any
      rights under this Section 10.1.

     

    SECTION 10.2.        Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

     

    
      
        (a)          Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
          contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant
          to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal, foreign, state or provincial law and not
          otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (b)          Any Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

        

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (1)       a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including by way of merger, amalgamation, consolidation, dividend distribution or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor after
          which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor to a Person other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary and as
          otherwise permitted by this Indenture;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)       the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the occurrence of any event after which the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted
          Subsidiary;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (3)       defeasance or discharge of the Notes pursuant to Article VIII or Article XI;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        
          -128-

          
            


        

        (4)       to the extent that such Guarantor is not an Immaterial Subsidiary solely due to the operation of clause (i) of the definition of “Immaterial Subsidiary,” upon the release of the guarantee
          referred to in such clause;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (5)       such Guarantor being (or being substantially concurrently) released or discharged from all of (i) its obligations under all of its Guarantees of payment by the Issuer of any Indebtedness
          of the Issuer with respect to each Credit Agreement then in effect or (ii) in the case of a Note Guarantee made by a Guarantor (each, an “Other Guarantee”) as a result of its guarantee of other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor
          pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, such Guarantor being (or being substantially concurrently) released or discharged from all of its obligations under the relevant Indebtedness, except in the case of (i) or (ii), a release as
          a result of the repayment in full of such Indebtedness (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still considered a release, and if any such Guarantee of such Guarantor under any Credit Agreement or any such
          Other Guarantee is to be reinstated, such Note Guarantee shall also be reinstated);

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (6)       upon the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor, in each case, in compliance with
          the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (7)       at any time upon the achievement of Investment Grade Status with respect to the Notes, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing with respect to the Notes;
          provided that such Note Guarantee shall be reinstated upon the Reversion Date; and

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (8)       as permitted under Section 9.1 or 9.2 or in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents.

         

        

      

    

    SECTION 10.3.        Right of Contribution.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the
      Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuer or any other Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.  The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no
      respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such
      Guarantor hereunder.

     

    SECTION 10.4.        No Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee, the Collateral
      Agent or any Holder against the Issuer or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor
      seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders by the Issuer
      on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be
      held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by
      such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations.

      SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

     

    SECTION 11.1.        Satisfaction and Discharge.  This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

     

    
      
        
          -129-

          
            


        

        (a)          either:

         

        

      

    

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

         

        

      

    

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

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (b)          the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, 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 such Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal,
          premium, if any, and interest to the date of deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided that upon any
          redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this 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, as calculated by the Issuer or on behalf of the Issuer by such Person as the Issuer shall designate, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date
          of redemption, and any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be
          applied toward such redemption;

        

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (c)          no Default or Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the
          Notes issued hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Credit 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;

         

        

      

    

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

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (e)          the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money in Dollars toward the payment of such Notes issued hereunder at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case
          may be.

         

        

      

    

    In addition, the Issuer shall 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, the Issuer’s obligations to the Trustee and Collateral Agent in Section 7.7 and Section 12.7(z) hereof and, if money in Dollars has
      been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a)(2) of this Section 11.1, the provisions of Sections 11.2 and 8.6 hereof will survive.

     

    SECTION 11.2.        Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 hereof, all money in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
        11.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
      Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium) and interest for whose payment such money in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money in Dollars or U.S.
      Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

     

    
      -130-

      
        


    

    If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.1 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 Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
      pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall
      be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

        (a)          The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration,
          repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes and performance of all other Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the
          Notes and the Security Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents. The Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the
          Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including
          the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral), each as may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Trustee and
          Collateral Agent, if applicable to enter into the Security Documents, the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, if any, at any time, if applicable, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights
          thereunder in accordance therewith. Each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, shall be deemed to (i) have authorized and instructed the Collateral Agent to, without any further consent of any Holder, enter into (or acknowledge and consent to) or,
          subject to Article IX, amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify any Security Document or any other intercreditor agreement, (ii) have irrevocably agreed that (x) the Collateral Agent may rely
          exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer as to whether any such other Liens are not prohibited and (y) any Security Document or other intercreditor agreement entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this
          Indenture shall be binding on such Holder and such Holder will take no actions contrary to the provisions of, if entered into and if applicable, any Security Document or intercreditor agreement and (iii) have irrevocably agreed that it will not

          any Lien held by or on behalf of any other holder of Second Lien Obligations in all or any part of the Collateral or (y) the validity or enforceability of any Second Lien Obligations of any series or any Security Document. The Issuer and the
          Grantor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next
          sentence of this Section 12.1, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the
          same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. On or following the Issue Date, the Issuer and the Grantor shall execute any and all further
          documents, financing statements (including continuation statements and amendments to financing statements), agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under the Note Documents or applicable law in order to grant,
          preserve, maintain, protect and perfect (or continue the perfection of) the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral and cause the Collateral Requirement to be

          interests in the Security Documents in the Collateral to the extent not required to be taken with respect to the Credit Agreement. The Issuer and the Grantor shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements (including
          continuation statements and amendments to financing statements), agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under the Note Documents or applicable law in order to grant, preserve, maintain, protect and perfect
          (or continue the perfection of) the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral and cause the Collateral Requirement to be and remain satisfied, provided that for so long as there are outstanding any Senior Secured Credit Facility Obligations, no actions shall be required to be taken with respect to the perfection of security interests in the Security
          Documents in the Collateral to the extent not required to be taken with respect to the Credit Agreement.

          in a capital lease by the lessor) of such property or assets (to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) to the extent permitted by Section 3.5;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)       in the case of a Specified Collateral Party that is released from its pledge of Collateral with respect to the Notes pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the release of the property
          and assets of such Guarantor;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (3)       upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (4)       the release of Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds that remain unexpended after the conclusion of an Asset Disposition Offer or a Collateral Asset Disposition Offer conducted in

        (5)       as described under Article IX hereof;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (6)       if the property subject to such Lien becomes Excluded Asset;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (7)       to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Security Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is a Permitted
          Lien under clauses (9) or (12) (in the case of clause (12), upon the reasonable request of the Issuer, to the extent required by the terms of the agreements governing such Permitted Lien) of the definition thereof;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (8)       if any Specified Collateral Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, or becomes excluded from the Collateral, in each case as a result of a transaction not prohibited hereunder or
          designation permitted hereunder;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (9)       [reserved]; or

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (10)     as to any asset constituting Collateral if and only to the extent that the Liens on such Collateral in favor of the First Priority Collateral Agent in respect of the Senior Secured Credit
          Facility Obligation have been released in accordance with their terms, except a release as a result of the repayment in full of the Indebtedness then outstanding in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facility Obligations.

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Security Documents and this Indenture, the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes also will be automatically released:

         

        

      

    

    
      
        
          -132-

          and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid;

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)       upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under this Indenture as described under Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 hereof, or a discharge of this Indenture as described
          under Section 11.1 hereof;

        (4)       subject to Section 9.2, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding
          at such time.

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (c)          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Holders shall confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s irrevocable authority to release
          or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Note Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and applicable Security Document; provided that the absence of such confirmation shall not affect in any way the validity of the automatic releases of security interest or Guarantee contemplated by the Note Documents or the Collateral Agent
          obligations to comply with the provisions of the immediately following sentence. The Collateral Agent shall, at the Issuer’s expense and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, execute and deliver to the Issuer or the
          applicable Grantor such documents and such amendments, modifications or supplements to any Security Documents, in each case as the Issuer or such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the
          assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to evidence the release of such Grantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of
          this Indenture and applicable Security Document.

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (d)          Notwithstanding Section 12.2(a)(3), if, after any Investment Grade Event, both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an
          Investment Grade Rating, the Issuer and the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to provide to the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
          valid, perfected, second priority security interests (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral within ninety (90) days after such Reversion Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (e)          With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture and the Security Documents, as applicable, to such release
          have been met, the Trustee (if applicable) and the Collateral Agent shall, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Issuer’s expense) any instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this
          Indenture or the Security Documents and shall do or cause to be done (at the Issuer’s expense) all acts reasonably requested of them to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be
          liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to
          release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate, upon which it shall be entitled to conclusively rely.

         

        

      

    

    SECTION 12.3.        Suits to Protect the Collateral.

     

    Subject to the provisions of Article VII and the Security Documents, the Trustee may or may direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions it determines in order to:

     

    
      
        (a)          enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (b)          collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.

         

        

      

    

    
      -133-

      
        


    

    Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may determine
      to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or
      protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.3 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

     

    SECTION 12.4.        Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents.

     

    Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds
      to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

     

    SECTION 12.5.        Purchaser Protected.

     

    In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the applicable release or to inquire
      as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee
      of any property or rights permitted by this Article XII to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer or the Grantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

     

    SECTION 12.6.        Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.

     

    In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XII upon the Issuer, the Grantor or a Guarantor with respect to the release,
      sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer, the Grantor or a Guarantor or of any
      Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XII; and if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by
      the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

     

    SECTION 12.7.        Collateral Agent.

     

    (a)          The Issuer, the Grantor and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the Issuer,
      the Grantor and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and to exercise such powers and
      perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended,
      restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. In addition, by acceptance of the Notes, each Holder will be deemed to have, (1) irrevocably appointed Wilmington Trust, National Association,
      as Collateral Agent to act as its collateral agent under the Security Documents and any other relevant documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, and (2) irrevocably authorized the Collateral Agent to (i) perform the duties and exercise the
      rights, powers, and discretions that are specifically given to it under the Security Documents or other documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, together with any other incidental rights, power and discretions and (ii) execute each
      document expressed to be executed by Collateral Agent on its behalf. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.7. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in
      accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any
      provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities,
      except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the
      Issuer or the Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the
      generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
      applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

     

    
      -134-

      
        


    

    (b)          The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture or the Security Documents by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such
      Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining
      to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
      receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care.

     

    (c)          The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification,
      telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice
      and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any
      investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully
      justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture or the Security Documents, unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it
      determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent
      shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture or the Security Documents, in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate
      principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

     

    (d)          [Reserved].

     

    (e)          The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice
      from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of
      Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article VI or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.7).

     

    
      -135-

      
        


    

    (f)          The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as
      Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral
      Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Issuer
      (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty
      (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
      successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring
      Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.7 (and Section 7.7 hereof) shall continue to
      inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

     

    (g)          Wilmington Trust, National Association shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly
      provided herein or in the Security Documents, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the
      Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The
      Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or
      failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     

    (h)          Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into the Junior
      Intercreditor Agreement and Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement in connection with the issuance of the Notes, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the
      Security Documents, and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents.

     

    (i)           If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to,
      this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee
      pursuant to Article VI, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral
      Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents.

     

    (j)           The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only
      by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with
      such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

     

    (k)          The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has
      been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Issuer’s or the
      Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or
      sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral
      Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document, other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.

     

    
      -136-

      
        


    

    (l)           If the Issuer, the Grantor or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations or Additional Second Lien Obligations at any time when no applicable
      intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations or Additional Second Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing intercreditor agreement is concurrently
      retired, and (ii) delivers to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Trustee and Collateral Agent, if applicable, to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the
      applicable intercreditor agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations, Junior Lien Obligations or Additional Second Lien Obligations so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the
      Collateral Agent and Trustee, if applicable, shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Trustee and Collateral Agent),
      bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

     

    (m)         No provision of this Indenture or any Security Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
      of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity
      satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Junior Intercreditor Agreement,
      the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the
      Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the
      Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described
      in this clause (m) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

     

    (n)          The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except
      to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money
      received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of
      its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the
      advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

     

    (o)          Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes,
      lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be
      liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

     

    (p)          The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any Grantor under this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Collateral
      Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document
      referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Security Documents of any other
      party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the
      validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its
      Obligations under this Indenture the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by
      any obligor of any terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture and any Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any
      litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect
      to the administration of this Indenture and the Security Documents.

     

    
      -137-

      
        


    

    (q)          The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims,
      causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action,
      response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this
      Indenture, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and the Security Documents, the
      Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute
      any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out
      any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in either of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, to be considered an “owner or operator” under the
      provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or
      local law, each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed
      receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuer, the Grantor, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by
      reason of either of the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it
      is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuer, the Grantor or the Guarantors, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
      of the then outstanding Notes shall direct the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may
      be, the property.

     

    (r)           Upon the receipt by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Issuer signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent is hereby
      authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, any Security Document or amendment or supplement thereto to be executed after the
      Issue Date; provided that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute or enter into any such Security Document which, in the Trustee or the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion is reasonably likely to adversely affect the
      rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines is reasonably likely to involve the Trustee or Collateral Agent in personal liability. Such Security Document
      Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Trustee or Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.7(r), and (ii) instruct the Trustee or Collateral Agent to execute and
      enter into such Security Document. Other than as set forth in this Indenture, any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Trustee or Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate
      and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to
      execute such Security Documents (subject to the first sentence of this Section 12.7(r)).

     

    
      
        
          -138-

          
            


        

        (s)          Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the
          Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent
          shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or
          direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable. Each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, authorizes and directs the Trustee to execute
          and deliver the Security Documents, in its capacity as an authorized representative, and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof.

         

        

      

    

    (t)           After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may direct the
      Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Security Documents.

     

    (u)          The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to the extent not prohibited under the Security
      Documents, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture.

     

    (v)          In each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document, to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give
      consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
      then outstanding Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
      Notes. If the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless
      and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

     

    (w)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect
      to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the Security Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC
      financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity,
      effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

     

    (x)          Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Guarantors, other than as set forth in this Indenture, it may require an Officer’s
      Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 12.7 and Section 14.2 hereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on
      such certificate or opinion.

     

    (y)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee with respect to the Security Documents and the
      Collateral.

    (z)          The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent as if the Collateral Agent were named
      as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity as set forth in Section 7.7, as if references therein to Trustee were
      references to Collateral Agent.

      such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee or, if such action relates to a Security Document or an intercreditor agreement and if requested by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent:

     

    
      
        (1)       an Officer’s Certificate (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 13.3 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any,
          provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and

         

        

      

    

    
      
        (2)       an Opinion of Counsel (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 13.3 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been
          satisfied and all covenants have been complied with.

         

        

      

    

    SECTION 13.3.        Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.  Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition provided for in this Indenture (except Officer’s
      Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 3.12) shall include:

      -141-

      
        


    

    SECTION 13.4.        When Notes Disregarded.  In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer,
      any Guarantor or any Affiliate of them shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or
      consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.  Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such
      determination.

     

    SECTION 13.5.        Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by, or at meetings of, Holders.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent may make reasonable rules
      for their functions.

     

    SECTION 13.6.        Legal Holidays.  A “Legal Holiday” is a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which commercial banking institutions are authorized or required to be closed in New York, New York or the
      jurisdiction of the place of payment.  If a payment date or a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.  If a regular
      record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected.

     

    SECTION 13.7.        Governing Law.  THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE
      STATE OF NEW YORK.

     

    SECTION 13.8.        Jurisdiction.  The Issuer, the Grantor and the Guarantors agree that any suit, action or proceeding against the Issuer, the Grantor or any Guarantor brought by any Holder, the Trustee or the
      Collateral Agent arising out of or based upon this Indenture, the Guarantee or the Notes may be instituted in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of them
      irrevocably submits to the non‐exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding.  The Issuer, the Grantor and the Guarantors irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any suit, action, or
      proceeding that may be brought in connection with this Indenture, the Guarantee or the Notes, including such actions, suits or proceedings relating to securities laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, in such courts whether on the
      grounds of venue, residence or domicile or on the ground that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Issuer, the Grantor and the Guarantors agree that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding
      brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer, the Grantor or the Guarantors, as the case may be, and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer, the Grantor or the Guarantors, as the case may be, are
      subject by a suit upon such judgment.

     

    SECTION 13.9.        Waivers of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE GRANTOR, THE GUARANTORS, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO
        THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE GUARANTEES AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

     

    SECTION 13.10.      USA PATRIOT Act.  The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, like all financial institutions and in order
      to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account.  The parties to this Indenture agree
      that they will provide the Trustee and the Collateral Agent with such information as it may request in order to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

     

    
      -142-

      
        


    

    SECTION 13.11.      No Recourse Against Others.  No past, present, or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or equityholder of the Issuer, the Grantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or
      Affiliates, or such (other than the Issuer, the Grantor and the Guarantors), shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer, the Grantor or the Guarantors under the Note Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of
      such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.  Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under
      the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

     

    SECTION 13.12.      Successors.  All agreements of the Issuer, the Grantor and each Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind their respective successors.  All agreements of the Trustee and the
      Collateral Agent in this Indenture shall bind their respective successors.

     

    SECTION 13.13.      Multiple Originals.  The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture.  Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The words
      “execution,” signed,” “signature” and words of like import in this Indenture or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Indenture shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other
      electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf,” “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation,
      any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system
      to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, and any other applicable law, including, without limitation,
      any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the UCC; notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent is under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or
      in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to reasonable procedures approved by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

     

    SECTION 13.14.      Table of Contents; Headings.  The table of contents, cross‐reference table and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are
      not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

     

    SECTION 13.15.      Force Majeure.  In no event shall the Trustee or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused
      by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions,
      loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, it being understood that the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking
      industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

     

    SECTION 13.16.      Severability.  In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall
      not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     

    SECTION 13.17.      [Reserved].

     

    SECTION 13.18.      Waiver of Immunities.  To the extent that the Issuer, the Grantor or any Guarantor or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to, or
      have attributed to them, any right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to
      judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any
      time be commenced, with respect to their obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Issuer, the Grantor and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
      unconditionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.

     

    
      -143-

      
        


    

    SECTION 13.19.      Judgment Currency.  The Issuer, the Grantor and each Guarantor agrees to indemnify the recipient against any loss incurred by such recipient as a result of any judgment or order being given or
      made against the Issuer, the Grantor or any Guarantor for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i)
      the rate of exchange at which the Dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange in The City of New York at which such party on the date of payment of such judgment or
      order is able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such party if such party had utilized such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase Dollars as promptly as practicable upon such party’s receipt thereof. 
      The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Issuer, the Grantor and each Guarantor and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.  The term “rate of
      exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

     

    SECTION 13.20.      Intercreditor Agreements. Reference is made to the Security Documents, Junior Intercreditor Agreement and Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, (a)
      agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Security Documents, Junior Intercreditor Agreement and Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and (b) authorizes and instructs the Trustee and the Collateral
      Agent to enter into the Junior Intercreditor Agreement and Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as Trustee and as Collateral Agent, and on behalf of such Holder, including without limitation, making the representations of the Holders contained
      therein. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders under the Credit Agreement to extend credit and such lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Security Documents, Junior
      Intercreditor Agreement and Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Indenture or any other Note Document to the contrary, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Indenture and the other Note Documents are
      subject to the terms of the Security Documents, including the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Junior Intercreditor Agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between (i) this Indenture or the Note Documents and the Security Documents, as
      applicable, the terms and conditions of the Security Documents shall control, (ii) the intercreditor provisions in the Security Documents (other than the Junior Intercreditor Agreement) and the Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the terms and conditions
      of the Security Documents (other than the Junior Intercreditor Agreement) shall control and (iii) the intercreditor provisions in the Security Documents (other than the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
      the terms and conditions of the Security Documents (other than the Third Lien Intercreditor Agreement) shall control.

     6.000% SECOND LIEN SECURED NOTES DUE 2030

    

    

    Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

     

    
      	
              1.

            	
              Interest

            


    

     

    The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.000% per annum from October 13, 2021 until maturity.  The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears every January 15 and July 15 of
      each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
      been paid, from the date of issuance; provided, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be July 15, 2022. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the
      rate specified herein, and they shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.  Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360‐day year
      comprised of twelve 30‐day months.

     

    
      	
              2.

            	
              Method of Payment

            


    

     

    By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on any Note is due and payable, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in
      immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium, interest when due.  Interest on any Note which is payable, and is timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one
      or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the preceding January 1 and July 1 at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture.  The principal of (and
      premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent or Registrar designated by the Issuer maintained for such purpose (which shall initially be the office of the Trustee maintained for such
      purpose), or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture; provided, however,
      that, at the option of the Paying Agent, each installment of interest may be paid by (i) check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Notes Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the
      United States maintained by the payee, subject to the third to the last sentence of this paragraph. Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of
      immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depository.  Payments in respect of Notes represented by Definitive Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) held by a Holder of
      at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Definitive Notes will be made in accordance with the Notes Register, or by wire transfer to a 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 15 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the
      Trustee may accept in its discretion).  If an Interest Payment Date or a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.  If a
      regular record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected.

     

    
      	
              3.

            	
              Paying Agent and Registrar

            


    

     

    The Issuer initially appoints Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.  The Issuer may change any Registrar or Paying Agent without prior
      notice to the Holders.  The Issuer or any Guarantor may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent.

     

    
      A-4

      
        


    

    
      	
              4.

            	
              Indenture

            


    

     

    The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of October 13, 2021, among the Issuer, Frontier Video Services Inc. (the “Grantor”), the Guarantors party thereto from time to time, the Trustee and the
      Collateral Agent (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”).  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture.  The Notes are subject to all terms and provisions
      of the Indenture, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Notes and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

     

    The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is unlimited.  This Note is one of the 6.000% Second Lien
      Secured Notes due 2030 referred to in the Indenture.  The Notes include (i) $1,000,000,000 principal amount of the Issuer’s 6.000% Second Lien Secured Notes due 2030 issued under the Indenture on October 13, 2021 (the “Initial Notes”) and
      (ii) if and when issued, additional Notes that may be issued from time to time under the Indenture subsequent to October 13, 2021 (the “Additional Notes”) as provided in Section 2.1(a) of the Indenture. The Initial Notes and the
      Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture; provided that if any Additional Notes are not part of the same issue as the Notes offered hereby under
      the Indenture for United States federal income tax purposes or if the Issuer otherwise determines that any Additional Notes should be differentiated from any other Notes, such Additional Notes may have a separate CUSIP number, provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, such Additional Notes will still constitute a single series with all other Notes issued under the Indenture for all other (i.e., non-income tax) purposes.  The
      Indenture imposes certain limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, the making of restricted payments, the sale of assets, the incurrence of certain liens, the making of payments for consents, the entering into of agreements that restrict
      distribution from restricted subsidiaries and the consummation of mergers and consolidations.  The Indenture also imposes requirements with respect to the provision of financial information and the provision of guarantees of the Notes by certain
      subsidiaries.

     

    
      	
              5.

            	
              Guarantees

            


    

     

    From and after the Issue Date, to guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, interest (including post‐filing or post‐petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Code) on the Notes
      and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, each Guarantor will
      unconditionally guarantee jointly and severally with each other Guarantor (and future guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee) such obligations on a subordinated unsecured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

     

    
      	
              6.

            	
              Redemption

            


    

     

    (a)          At any time prior to October 15, 2024, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at their option, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, with a copy to the Trustee, to each
      Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Notes Register, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) equal to 100.000% plus the relevant Applicable Premium as of, and
      accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

     

    (b)          At any time and from time to time prior to October 15, 2024, the Issuer may on one or more occasions, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of
      Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Notes Register, redeem up to 40.0% of the original principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture on the Issue Date (together with Additional Notes) at a redemption price (expressed as a
      percentage of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed) equal to 106.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record
      date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, with the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Issuer of one or more Equity Offerings of the Issuer; provided that not less than 50.0% of the
      original principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes initially issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (including Additional Notes but excluding Notes held by the Issuer or any of
      their Restricted Subsidiaries), unless all such notes are redeemed substantially concurrently; provided further that each such redemption occurs not later than 180 days after the date of closing of the
      related Equity Offering. The Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described under Sections 5.1 through 5.6 of the Indenture.

     

    
      A-5

      
        


    

     (c)          Except pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph 6 below, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to October 15, 2024.

     

    (d)          At any time and from time to time on or after October 15, 2024, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, with a copy to the Trustee, to
      each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Notes Register at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth in the table below, plus accrued and unpaid interest
      thereon, if any, to but excluding the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve‐month
      period beginning on October 15 of each of the years indicated in the table below:

              101.500%

            
	
              2026 and thereafter          

            	 	
              100.000%

            


    

    

    

    (e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including a Change of Control Offer, Asset Disposition Offer, Collateral Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Advance Offer, if
      Holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Issuer,
      purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party shall have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes
      to the address of such Holder appearing in the Notes Register, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each other
      Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to but excluding, the date of such redemption.

     

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

     

    (g)          Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 6 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1 through 5.6 of the Indenture.

     

    The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

              8.

            	
              Repurchase Provisions

            


    

     

    If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase from each Holder all or any part (equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple of
      $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, to but excluding the date of purchase; provided that if the repurchase date is on
      or after the record date and on or before the corresponding interest payment date, then Holders in whose name the Notes are registered at the close of business on such record date will receive the interest due on the repurchase date, as provided in,
      and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

     

    
      A-6

      
        


    

    Upon certain Asset Dispositions, the Issuer may be required to use the Excess Proceeds from such Asset Dispositions to offer to purchase Notes and, at the Issuer’s option, Pari Passu Indebtedness out of the Excess
      Proceeds in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.5 and in Article V of the Indenture.

     

    
      	
              9.

            	
              Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

            


    

     

    The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form in minimum denominations of principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in
      accordance with the Indenture.  The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. 
      The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (A) for a period beginning (1) fifteen (15) calendar days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes and ending at the close of business on the day
      of such mailing or (2) fifteen (15) calendar days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on such Interest Payment Date or (B) called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

     

    
      	
              10.

            	
              Persons Deemed Owners

            


    

     

    The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

     

    
      	
              11.

            	
              Unclaimed Money

            


    

     

    If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request unless an abandoned property law
      designates another Person to receive such money.  After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer and not to the Trustee for payment as general creditors unless an abandoned property law designates another person
      for payment.

     

    
      	
              12.

            	
              Discharge and Defeasance

            


    

     

    Subject to certain exceptions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money
      or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium, if any and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

     

    
      	
              13.

            	
              Amendment, Supplement, Waiver

            


    

     

    Subject to certain exceptions contained in the Indenture, the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents may be amended, or a Default thereunder may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
      aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.  Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes and the Security
      Documents as provided in the Indenture.

     

    
      	
              14.

            	
              Defaults and Remedies

            


    

     

    If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or certain Guarantors) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice
      to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes to
      be due and payable.  Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal, interest, and other monetary obligations will be due and payable immediately.  If a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary
      (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries, that taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the
      principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and any other monetary obligations on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.  Under certain
      circumstances, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

              Trustee Dealings with the Issuer

            


    

     

    Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, Guarantors or their
      Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuer and their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries.

     

    
      	
              16.

            	
              No Recourse Against Others

            


    

     

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