 (c) If the Issuer determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other
certifications and evidence as the Issuer may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) and that the Restricted Legend is no longer necessary or appropriate in
order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Issuer may instruct the Trustee to cancel the Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to its
transferee) a new Note of like tenor and amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction. 
  
 (d) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Legend (or any
beneficial interest in such a Note), each Holder thereof and each owner of a beneficial interest therein acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note (and any such beneficial interest) set forth in the Indenture and in the Restricted
Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note (and any such beneficial interest) only in accordance with the Indenture and such legend.

 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee
by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated
and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12, for all purposes of the Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been

the Notes), and the Issuer and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by the Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required
by law and in no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder; provided that if the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof 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 the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii), upon written request to the Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, the Paying Agent

2.17, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request from the Holder of such Notes to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the
transfer as requested. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by
the Holder thereof or his attorneys duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall issue and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes evidencing such transfer or exchange at the
Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer or the Trustee may require from the Holder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06, 4.08, 4.12 or 8.05 (in which events the Issuer shall be responsible for the payment of such
taxes). The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the redemption of Notes, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
  
 Any Holder of the Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree
that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall be
required to be reflected in a book entry. 
  
 Neither the Trustee
nor the Registrar shall have any duty to monitor the Issuer’s compliance with or have any responsibility with respect to the Issuer’s compliance with any Federal or state securities laws. 
  
 Section 2.08. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to
the Registrar or the Trustee, 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 Holder of such Note furnishes to the
Issuer and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of
the Indenture are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Paying Agent to protect the Issuer, the Trustee or any Paying Agent from any loss that
any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge such Holder for the Issuer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note, 

  

 36 








 
and the Trustee may charge the Issuer for the Trustee’s expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing
such Note. Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer. 
  
 Section 2.09. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by it, (b) those delivered to it for
cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Section 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds the Note. 
  
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer. 
  
 If the Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date,
money sufficient to pay all accrued and unpaid interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, then on and after that
date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
  
 Section 2.10. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or Notice of Default or direction, waiver or consent
or any amendment, modification or other change to the Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer or any other Affiliate of the Issuer shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to the Indenture, only Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received an Officers’ Certificate
stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect
to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates. 
  
 Section 2.11. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form 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 in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such 

  

 37 








 
exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. 
  
 Section 2.12. 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 shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall, upon the Issuer’s written request, deliver such canceled Notes to the Issuer. The Issuer may not reissue or resell, or issue new Notes to replace, Notes that the Issuer has
redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted
interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date. The Issuer shall fix such special record date and payment
date in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. At least 10 days before such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest
payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid. The Issuer may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) 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 sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

 
 Section 2.14. Cusip Number. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use
a “CUSIP” number, and if so, such CUSIP number shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any such CUSIP number used
by the Issuer in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in the CUSIP number. 
  
 Section 2.15. Deposit of Moneys. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Issuer shall have
deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment to
the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the 

  

 38 








 
case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner
and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The principal and interest on Certificated Notes shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent. 
  
 Section 2.16. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The
Notes will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Notes, for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and
transfers and exchanges of the Notes. 
  
 (b) (i) Each Global Note
will be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depository thereof, will bear the DTC Legend. 
  
 (ii) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depository. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial
interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees, except (1) as set forth in Section 2.16(b)(iv) and (2) transfers of portions thereof in
the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with customary procedures of the
Depository and in compliance with this Section 2.16 and Section 2.17. 
  
 (iii) Agent Members will have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, and
the Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depository or its nominee may
grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the
Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security. 
  
 (iv) If (x) the Depository notifies the Issuer that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for a Global Note and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a
request from the Depository, the Trustee will promptly 

  

 39 








 
exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal
amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depository, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled. If such Note does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated
Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any Holder of any such
Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange
such Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such Holder. 
  
 (c) Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee. 
  
 (d) 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 Trustee 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 Section 2.17. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register
maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that 
  
 (x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such register and 
  
 (y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Prepayment Offer, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a
partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Prepayment Offer is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before
the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and their
agents will treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the 

  

 40 








 
owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 From time to time the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate
additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section 2.16. 
  
 No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(iv)). 
  
 (e) (i) Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial interest in a
Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee 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. 
  
 (ii) Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated
Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an
equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable. 
  
 (iii) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a
Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated 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 Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized
denominations having an aggregate 

  

 41 








 
principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

  
 (iv) Certificated Note to Certificated
Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated 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 Certificated 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 Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in
authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. 
  
 Section 2.17. Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange.
(a) The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section 2.17 and Section 2.16 and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the
applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence. 
  
 (b) Subject to paragraph (c), the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth
in column A below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite

 (ii) The Person
requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed

Regulation S Certificate; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the
Restricted Legend, then no certification is required. 
  
 (iii) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate, (y) a duly completed Regulation S Certificate or (z) a duly completed
Institutional Accredited Investor Certificate, and/or an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Issuer may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange is being made in compliance with
the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States; provided that if the requested transfer or exchange is made by the Holder of a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend, then no
certification is required. In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a Certificated Note that does not
bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend. 
  
 (iv) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a
duly completed Rule 144A Certificate. 
  
 (v)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such exchange is permitted if the requested exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note. If the requested transfer involves a beneficial interest in a
Temporary Offshore Global Note, the Person requesting the transfer must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (x) a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate or (y) a duly completed Institutional Accredited Investor Certificate and/or
an Opinion of Counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Issuer may reasonably require in order to determine that the proposed transfer is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of any
state of the United States. If the requested transfer or exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, no certification is required and the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted
Legend. 
  
 (c) No certification is required in connection with
any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or a successor provision); provided that the Issuer has provided the Trustee with
an Officer’s 

  

 43 








 
Certificate to that effect, and the Issuer may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause an opinion of counsel
and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate. Any Certificated Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend. 
  
 (d) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other
documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Issuer will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee. 

 
 Section 2.18. Temporary Offshore Global Notes. (a) Each
Note originally sold by the Initial Purchasers in reliance upon Regulation S will be evidenced by one or more Offshore Global Notes that bear the Temporary Offshore Global Note Legend. 
  
 (b) An owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note (or a Person acting on behalf of such an owner)
may provide to the Trustee (and the Trustee will accept) a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period (it being understood that the Trustee will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted
Period). Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore
Global Note, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount
of such beneficial interest. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding paragraph
(b), if after the Restricted Period any Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as to its status as an Initial
Purchaser, exchange such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and the Trustee will comply with such request and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary
Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore
Global Note shall not be entitled to receive payment of principal or interest on such beneficial interest or other amounts in respect of such beneficial interest until such beneficial interest is exchanged for an interest in a Permanent Offshore
Global Note or transferred for an interest in another Global Note or a Certificated Note. 
  

 44 








 Section 2.19. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 ARTICLE 3

 REDEMPTION 
  
 Section 3.01. Election to Redeem; Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, at least 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of
Notes to be redeemed and the redemption price, and deliver to the Trustee, no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained in
paragraph 5 of the Notes. Notice given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.01 may not be revoked after the time that notice is given to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03. 
  
 Section 3.02. Selection by Trustee of Notes to be Redeemed. The Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed on a
pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of the Notes that have denominations larger than
$1,000. For redemptions pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, Notes and portions thereof that the Trustee selects shall be redeemed in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000. For all purposes of the Indenture unless the context otherwise
requires, provisions of the Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. In the event the Issuer is requested to make a Change of Control Offer or Prepayment Offer and the amounts
available for any such offer is not evenly divisible by $1,000, the Trustee shall promptly refund to the Issuer any remaining funds, which in no event shall exceed $1,000. 
  
 Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days, and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Issuer
shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to
Section 2.04. 
  

 45 








 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP numbers thereof) and shall state:

  
 (a) the Redemption Date; 
  
 (b) the appropriate calculation of the redemption price;

  
 (c) if fewer than all outstanding Notes are
to be redeemed, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued; 

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

 
 (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered
to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; 
  
 (f) that unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; 
  
 (g) which subsection of paragraph 5 of the Notes is the provision of the Notes pursuant to which the
redemption is occurring; and 
  
 (h) the
aggregate principal amount of Notes that are being redeemed. 
  
 At the Issuer’s written request made at least five Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s sole expense.

  
 Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once the
notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price, including any premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding
the Redemption Date. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, including any premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the Redemption Date; provided that if the Redemption
Date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date; and provided, further,
that if a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day. Such notice, if mailed in the manner
provided in Section 3.03 shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. 
  
 Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with
the 

  

 46 








 
Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption
price of, including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to
accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and, subject to the first proviso in Section 3.04, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to but excluding the
Redemption Date. If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and any interest not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes. 
  
 Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof a new Note equal in principal amount
to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note surrendered except that if a Global Note is so surrendered, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Depository, a new Global Note in denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Note so surrendered. 
  
 Section 3.07. Other Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the
Notes. Under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under Section 4.08 and Section 4.12. The Issuer may, at any time and from time to time, purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

  
 ARTICLE 4 
 COVENANTS 
  
 Section 4.01. Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the
Indenture. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay such installment. 
  

 47 








 The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal (including post-petition interest in a
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), and overdue interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate specified in the Notes. 
  
 Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City
of New York (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices
and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of 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, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 
  
 (b) 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 such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office in the Borough of Manhattan, the City
of New York. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. 
  
 (c) The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in
accordance with Section 2.04. 
  
 Section 4.03. Legal
Existence. Subject to Articles Four and Five, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each Restricted
Subsidiary, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of each Restricted Subsidiary and the material rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Issuer and the Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, franchise or (except in the case of the Issuer) the corporate, partnership or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries if the Issuer, in good
faith, shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 Section 4.04. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance; Compliance with Law. (a) The
Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, at all times cause all material properties used or useful in the conduct of their respective businesses to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order
(reasonable wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment, and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so
that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.04(a) shall prevent the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from
discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and not adverse in
any material respect to the Holders. 
  
 (b) The Issuer shall, and
shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep at all times all of their material properties which are of an insurable nature insured against such loss or damage with insurers believed by the Issuer to be responsible to the extent that
Property of a similar character is usually so insured by corporations similarly situated and owning like Properties in accordance with good business practice. Subject to the proviso in Section 4.04(a), the Issuer shall, and shall cause
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds from any such insurance policy to repair, replace or otherwise restore the Property to which such proceeds relate. 
  
 (c) The Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances or
government rules and regulations to which they are subject, the non-compliance with which would materially adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a
whole. 
  
 Section 4.05. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury
Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead (as a defense or otherwise) or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension
law or any usury law or other law which may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Issuer hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 Section 4.06. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Issuer shall
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, commencing with the Issuer’s fiscal year ending in December of 2005 an 

  

 49 








 
Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is in
default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of Section 5.01 or Sections 4.01 to 4.19, inclusive, and if the Issuer shall be in Default, specifying all such Defaults, the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. Such determination shall be made without regard to notice requirements or periods of grace. 
  
 (b) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any
event no later than ten Business Days after the Issuer becomes aware of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a Default or Event of Default, an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default, and the action which the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect to such Default or Event of Default. 
  
 (c) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year commencing with the
Issuer’s fiscal year ending December of 2005, a written statement by the Issuer’s independent public accountants stating whether, in connection with their audit of the Issuer’s financial statements, any event which would constitute an
Event of Default as defined herein insofar as they relate to accounting matters has come to their attention and, if such an Event of Default has come to their attention, specifying the nature and period of the existence thereof. 
  
 Section 4.07. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Issuer shall, and
shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuer or
any of its Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits, capital or Property of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the
Property of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or
validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 
  
 Section 4.08. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of
such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the repurchase date (subject to the right of Holders of 

  

 50 








 
record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that notwithstanding the
occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall not be obligated to purchase the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that it has mailed the notice to exercise its right to redeem all the Notes under the terms of paragraph 5 of
the Notes at any time prior to the requirement to consummate the Change of Control Offer and redeems the Notes in accordance with such notice. 
  
 (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control the Issuer shall (x) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least once to the
Dow Jones News Service or similar business news service in the United States, and (y) send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note register, a notice
stating: 
  
 (i) that a Change of Control has
occurred or will occur and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.08 and that all Notes timely tendered will be accepted for payment; 
  
 (ii) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the repurchase date (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”), which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed; 
  
 (iii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the
Change of Control; and 
  
 (iv) the procedures
that Holders of Notes must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that Holders of Notes must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment. 

 
 Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an
appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer or its agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the
Issuer receives, not later than one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, electronic mail or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note that was
delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased. 
  
 (c) On or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer
or any of its Subsidiaries is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) in cash an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price payable to the 

  

 51 








 
Holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in accordance with this Section 4.08. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer or its Agent
shall deliver to the Trustee the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer for payment. 
  
 (d) The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on the Change of Control Payment Date, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder of the Change of
Control Purchase Price. In the event that the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price is less than the amount delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver the
excess to the Issuer immediately after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
  
 (e) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to
a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue of such compliance. 
  
 (f) The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.08 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of
Control Offer. 
  
 Section 4.09. Limitation on Debt.
(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt unless, after giving effect to the application of the proceeds therefrom, no Default or Event of Default would occur
as a consequence of such Incurrence or be continuing following such Incurrence and either: 
  
 (i) after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio would be at least (A) on or before December 21, 2006, 2.0 to 1.0 and (B) thereafter, 2.5 to 1.0; or 
  
 (ii) such Debt is Permitted Debt. 
  

 52 








 (b) The term “Permitted Debt” means the following: 
  
 (i) Debt of the Issuer evidenced by (A) the Notes
(excluding any Additional Notes) and Note Guarantees thereof and (B) the Subordinated Notes; 
  
 (ii) Debt of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary under Credit Facilities, provided that, after giving effect to the Incurrence of
any such Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all such Debt under Credit Facilities at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the greater of (A) $550 million and (B) 125% of the aggregate amount of Consolidated Cash Flow (calculated
on a pro forma basis in the manner set forth in clause (ii) of the proviso under the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal financial
statements are available; 
  
 (iii) Debt of the
Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in respect of Capital Lease Obligations and Purchase Money Debt, provided that: 
  
 (A) the aggregate principal amount of such Debt does not exceed the Fair Market Value (on the date of the Incurrence thereof) of the
Property acquired, constructed or leased; and 
  
 (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Incurred and then outstanding pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(iii) (together with all Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred and then outstanding in respect of Debt previously Incurred
pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(iii)) does not exceed 15% of Total Assets; 
  
 (iv) Debt of the Issuer owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary and Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Issuer
or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that if the Issuer or a Guarantor is the obligor on such Debt Incurred after the Issue Date, then such Debt is expressly subordinated by its terms to the prior payment in full in cash of the Notes;
provided, however, that any subsequent issue or transfer of Capital Stock or other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Debt (except to the Issuer or
a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Debt by the issuer thereof; 
  
 (v) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary is acquired by the Issuer or otherwise
becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of transactions 

  

 53 








 
pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of the Issuer or was otherwise acquired by the Issuer); 
  
 (vi) Debt under Interest Rate Agreements entered into by the
Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of managing interest rate risk in the ordinary course of the financial management of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary and not for speculative purposes; 
  
 (vii) Debt under Currency Exchange Protection Agreements
entered into by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of managing currency exchange rate risks in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes; 
  
 (viii) Guarantees by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Debt or any other obligation or liability of
the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary could otherwise have Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09; 
  
 (ix) Debt in connection with one or more standby letters of credit or performance or surety bonds issued by the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to self-insurance obligations and not in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit not to exceed 2.5% of Total Assets at any time outstanding;

  
 (x) Debt of the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary outstanding on the Issue Date not otherwise described in Section 4.09(b)(i) through (ix) above; 
  
 (xi) Debt of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed $300.0
million (which amount can include Guarantees of Debt of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, provided such Guarantee is Incurred in compliance with Section 4.10); and 
  
 (xii) Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred in respect of Debt Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a)(i)
and Sections 4.09(b)(i), (iii), (v) and (x) above and this Section 4.09(b)(xii). 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.09: 
  
 (i) the Issuer shall not Incur any Debt pursuant to this Section 4.09 if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to
Refinance any Subordinated Obligations unless such Debt shall be subordinated to the Notes to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations; 
  

 54 








 (ii) the Issuer shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to Incur any Debt pursuant to
Section 4.09(a)(ii) if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Debt of the Issuer; and 
  
 (iii) accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of
additional Debt will be deemed not to be an Incurrence of Debt for the purposes of this Section 4.09. 
  
 For the purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described in Section 4.09 (i) through (xii) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a)(i), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify in whole or in
part, in its sole discretion) such item of Debt in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided, that any Debt outstanding under Credit Facilities after the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be
treated as Incurred on the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes and the Subordinated Notes issued on the Issue Date will be incurred under Section 4.09(b)(i), and not under
Section 4.09(b)(ii). 
  
 For purposes of determining
compliance with any dollar–denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, with respect to any Debt which is denominated in a foreign currency, the dollar–equivalent principal amount of such Debt Incurred pursuant thereto shall be
calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Debt was Incurred, and any such foreign–denominated Debt may be Refinanced or replaced or subsequently Refinanced or replaced in an amount equal to the
dollar equivalent principal amount of such Debt on the date of such refinancing or replacement whether or not such amount is greater or less than the dollar equivalent principal amount of the Debt on the date of initial Incurrence. 
  
 Section 4.10. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The
Issuer shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment if at the time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted Payment, 
  
 (i) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, 
  
 (ii) the Issuer could not Incur
at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a)(i) or 
  
 (iii) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made since the Issue Date (the 

  

 55 








 
amount of any Restricted Payment, if made other than in cash, to be based upon Fair Market Value at the time of such Restricted Payment) would exceed an
amount equal to the sum of: 
  
 (A) 50% of the
aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the beginning of the fiscal quarter during which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which
internal financial statements are available (or if the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus 
  
 (B) 100% of Capital Stock Sale Proceeds and 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Issuer
after the Issue Date as a contribution to its common equity, plus 
  
 (C) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from the issuance or sale after the Issue Date of convertible or exchangeable Debt or Disqualified Stock that has been converted
into or exchanged for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer, 
  
 excluding: 
  
 (x) any such Debt issued or sold to Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established by Parent
or any such Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees, and 
  
 (y) the aggregate amount of any cash or other Property (other than Capital Stock of the Issuer which is not Disqualified Stock) distributed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon any such conversion or
exchange, plus 
  
 (D) an amount equal to the sum
of: 
  
 (1) the net reduction in Investments in
any Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of Property, in each case to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary from such Person; 
  
 (2) to the extent that any Investment (other than a
Permitted Investment) that was made after the 

  

 56 








 
Issue Date is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the cash return of capital to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect
to such Investment; and 
  
 (3) the portion
(proportionate to the Issuer’s equity interest in such Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; 

 
 provided, however, that the amounts in (1), (2) and (3) shall not exceed,
in the case of any Person, the amount of Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person, plus 
  
 (E) $75.0 million. 
  

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, may: 
  
 (i) pay dividends on its Capital Stock within 60 days of the
declaration thereof if, on the declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with the Indenture; provided, however, that such dividend shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments at the time
declared; 
  
 (ii) purchase, repurchase, redeem,
legally defease, acquire or retire for value Capital Stock of the Issuer or Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock and
other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established by the Issuer or any such Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees); provided, however, that 
  
 (x) such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance,
acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments, and 
  
 (y) the Capital Stock Sale Proceeds from such exchange or sale shall be excluded from the calculation pursuant to (a)(iii)(B); 

 
 (iii) purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease,
acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of 

  

 57 








 
the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Permitted Refinancing Debt; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal
defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
  
 (iv) repurchase, or make dividends or other payments to Parent (or to Intermediate Holdco for prompt distribution to Parent) to permit
Parent to repurchase, shares of, or options to purchase shares of, common stock of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from current or former officers, directors or employees of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees of such
current or former officers, directors or employees), pursuant to the terms of agreements (including employment agreements) or plans (or amendments thereto) approved by Parent Board of Directors under which such individuals purchase or sell, or are
granted the option to purchase or sell, shares of such common stock; provided, however, that: 
  
 (x) the aggregate amount of such repurchases shall not exceed $10.0 million in any calendar year; 
  
 and 
  
 (y) at the time of such repurchase, no other Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom); provided further, however, that such repurchases shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
  
 (v) make payments on intercompany Debt (which, for the
avoidance of doubt, excludes the Subordinated Notes), the Incurrence of which was permitted pursuant to Section 4.09, provided that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in
the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
  
 (vi) make, or make dividends or other payments to Parent (or to Intermediate Holdco for prompt distribution to Parent) to permit Parent to make, cash payments, in lieu of issuance of fractional shares in connection with the exercise of
warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Capital Stock of Parent, Intermediate Holdco, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such payments and dividends shall not be included in the
calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
  
 (vii) repurchase Capital Stock to the extent such repurchase is deemed to occur upon a cashless exercise of stock options, restricted stock units or warrants; provided that all such repurchases and dividends shall 

  

 58 








 
not be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments and no proceeds in respect of the issuance of Capital Stock shall be deemed to have
been received for the purposes of (a)(iii)(B); 
  
 (viii) repurchase or redeem, or make dividends or other payments to Parent (or to Intermediate Holdco for prompt distribution to Parent) to permit Parent to repurchase or redeem, for nominal consideration, preferred stock purchase rights
issued in connection with any shareholder rights plan of Parent; provided that any such payments shall not be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; 
  
 (ix) make dividends or other payments to Parent (or to Intermediate Holdco for prompt distribution to
Parent) of (A) such amounts and at such times as are necessary for Parent to pay taxes, in an amount not to exceed the amount of taxes the Issuer and its Subsidiaries would pay on a stand-alone basis, plus (B) such amounts to pay general
corporate and overhead expenses (including salaries and other compensation for employees) incurred by Parent in the ordinary course of business as a holding company of the Issuer; provided that all such payments shall be excluded in the
calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; and 
  
 (x) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million. 
  
 Section 4.11. Limitation on Liens. The Issuer shall not directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its Property (including Capital Stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, unless it has made or will make effective provision whereby the Notes will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably
with (or, if such other Debt constitutes Subordinated Obligations, prior to) all other Debt or other obligations of the Issuer secured by such Lien for so long as such other Debt or other obligations are secured by such Lien; provided,
however, that if the Debt or other obligations so secured are expressly subordinated to the Notes, then the Lien securing such Debt or other obligations shall be subordinated and junior to the Lien securing the Notes. 
  
 Section 4.12. Limitation on Asset Sales. (a) The Issuer
shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless: 
  
 (i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value
of the Property subject to such Asset Sale; 
  

 59 








 (ii) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary
in connection with such Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; and 
  
 (iii) the Issuer delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Asset Sale complies with the foregoing
Sections 4.12(a)(i) and (ii). 
  
 Solely for the purposes of
Section 4.12(a)(ii), the following will be deemed to be cash: 
  
 (x) the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities or liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) as a result of which
the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities; 
  
 (y) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such purchaser to the extent
they are promptly converted or monetized by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received); and 
  
 (z) Additional Assets. 
  
 (b) The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt) to: 
  
 (i) permanently prepay or permanently Repay any (A) Debt under any Credit Facility, (B) Debt which had been secured by the
assets sold in the relevant Asset Sale, or (C) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor; and/or 
  
 (ii) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net
Available Cash received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary). 
  
 (c) Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with Section 4.12(b) within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall constitute “Excess
Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million (taking into account income earned on such Excess Proceeds, if any), the Issuer will be required to make an offer to repurchase (the “Prepayment
Offer”) the Notes, which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds (rounded to the nearest $1,000), on a pro rata basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% 

  

 60 








 
of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to but not including the repurchase date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that any portion of the amount of
Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all Holders of Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their Notes for repurchase in accordance with the Indenture, the Issuer or such
Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose permitted by the Indenture, and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. 
  
 The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” shall mean the product of: 
  
 (i) the Excess Proceeds; and 
  
 (ii) a fraction, 
  

(A) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, and

  
 (B) the denominator of which is the sum of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer and the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Issuer outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that is pari passu in right of payment
with the Notes and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to this Section 4.12 and requiring the Issuer to make an offer to repurchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the
Prepayment Offer. 
  
 (d) Within five Business Days after the
Issuer is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer under (c), the Issuer shall send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the Holders of Notes, accompanied by such information regarding the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as the Issuer in good
faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with respect to such Prepayment Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the repurchase date (the “Purchase Date”), which shall
be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. 
  

(e) Not later than the date upon which written notice of a Prepayment Offer is delivered to the Holders of the Notes as provided in
Section 4.12(d), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate as to (i) the amount of 

  

 61 








 
the Prepayment Offer to Holders of Notes (the “Offer Amount”), (f) the allocation of the Net Available Cash from the Asset Sales
pursuant to which such Prepayment Offer is being made and (g) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.12(b) and (c). On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) in Cash Equivalents (other than in those enumerated in clauses (c) or (g) of the definition of Cash Equivalents),
maturing on the last day prior to the Purchase Date or on the Purchase Date if funds are immediately available by the opening of business, an amount equal to the Offer Amount to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 4.12. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Prepayment Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly
tendered to and are to be accepted by the Issuer. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on the Purchase Date, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of
the Notes delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee is less than the Offer Amount, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deliver the excess to the Issuer immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this
Section 4.12. 
  
 (f) Holders electing to have a Note
purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer or its agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. Holders shall be entitled to
withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, electronic mail or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount
of the Note that was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased. If at the expiration of the Offer Period the aggregate principal of Notes surrendered by Holders
exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on pro rata basis for all Notes (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples
thereof, shall be purchased). Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. 
  
 (g) At the time the Issuer or its agent delivers Notes to the Trustee that are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuer shall
also deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.12. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the
Trustee or the Paying Agent mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder. 
  

 62 








 (h) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the
Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of
this Section 4.12, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof. 
  
 Section 4.13. Limitations on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted
Subsidiaries. 
  
 (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
  
 (i) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital
Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; 
  
 (ii) make any loans or advances to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or 
  
 (iii) transfer any of its Property to the Issuer or any
other Restricted Subsidiary. 
  
 (b) The foregoing limitations
will not apply: 
  
 (i) With respect to
Section 4.13(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), to restrictions: 
  
 (A) in effect on the Issue Date (including, without limitation, restrictions pursuant to the Notes, the Indenture, the Subordinated Notes and any Credit Facility in existence on the Issue Date); 
  
 (B) relating to Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary and existing
at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary if such restriction was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was
acquired by the Issuer; 
  
 (C) that result from
the Refinancing of Debt Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in Section 4.13(b)(i)(A) or (B) above or in Section 4.13(b)(ii)(A) or (B) below, provided such restrictions are not materially less favorable, taken as
a whole, to 

  

 63 








 
the Holders of Notes than those under the agreement evidencing the Debt so Refinanced; 
  
 (D) relating to Debt incurred after the Issue Date, so long as such restrictions (x) are not materially
less favorable, taken as whole, to the Holders of Notes than those restrictions in effect on the Issue Date pursuant to the Notes, the Indenture, the Subordinated Notes and the Credit Facilities in existence on the Issue Date or (y) relate to
Debt incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(iii), so long as the respective restrictions apply only to specific Property or projects financed with the respective Incurrence of Debt and/or to any Subsidiary substantially of all whose assets
consist of Property or a project financed with proceeds of such Debt; 
  
 (E) existing under or by reason of applicable law or governmental regulation; or 
  
 (F) that constitute customary restrictions contained in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements,
stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in good faith and not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture; and 
  
 (ii) With respect to Section 4.13(a)(iii) only, to restrictions: 
  
 (A) relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured without also securing the Notes pursuant
to Sections 4.09 and 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the Property securing such Debt; 
  
 (B) encumbering Property at the time such Property was acquired by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as such restrictions
relate solely to the Property so acquired and were not created in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition; 
  
 (C) resulting from customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of leases or customary provisions in other agreements that
restrict assignment of such agreements or rights thereunder; 
  
 (D) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; or 
  

 64 








 (E) customary restrictions contained in asset sale agreements limiting the transfer of
such Property pending the closing of such sale. 
  
 Section
4.14. Additional Note Guarantees. If and for so long as any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer Guarantees any Public Market Debt of the Issuer, such Restricted Subsidiary shall provide a Note Guaranty, and, if the Guaranteed Debt of the
Issuer is a Subordinated Obligation, the Guaranty of such Guaranteed Debt must be subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guaranty to at least the extent that the Guaranteed Debt is subordinated to the Notes. 
  
 A Restricted Subsidiary required to provide a Note Guaranty shall execute a
supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B, and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee to the effect that the supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of the Restricted Subsidiary, enforceable against the Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). 
  
 Section 4.15. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any
Property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 
  
 (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are: 
  

(A) set forth in writing; and 
  
 (B) no less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable
arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer; 
  
 (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $25.0 million, the Board of Directors (including at
least a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves such Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, believes that such Affiliate Transaction complies with Section 4.15(a)(i)(B) as evidenced by a Board
Resolution; and 
  
 (iii) if such Affiliate
Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $50.0 million, the Issuer obtains a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that the consideration 

  

 65 








 
to be paid or received in connection with the such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Issuer and any relevant Restricted
Subsidiaries. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs,
the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into or suffer to exist the following: 
  
 (i) any transaction or series of transactions between the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted
Subsidiaries; 
  
 (ii) any Restricted Payment
permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.10 or any Permitted Investment; 
  
 (iii) any employment, indemnification or other similar agreement or employee benefit plan entered into by the Issuer or a Restricted
Subsidiary with an employee, officer or director (and payments pursuant thereto) in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice that is not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture; 
  
 (iv) loans and advances to employees made in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practices of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; provided that such loans and advances do not exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding; 
  
 (v) payment of reasonable directors’ fees to persons
who are not otherwise Affiliates of the Issuer; 
  
 (vi) any issuances of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to Affiliates of the Issuer; and 
  
 (vii) agreements (and the transactions contemplated thereunder) in effect on the Issue Date that are described in the Offering Memorandum
(including the agreements relating to the Subordinated Notes in effect on the Issue Date and so described) and any modifications, extensions or renewals thereto that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Issuer or any
Restricted Subsidiary than such agreements as in effect on the Issue Date. 
  
 Section 4.16. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary of the Issuer to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if: 
  
 (i) either (A) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary,
as the case may be, is permitted to make an Investment in such Subsidiary equal to 

  

 66 








 
the sum of the (1) Fair Market Value of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary plus (2) the amount of any Debt owed by such Subsidiary to the Issuer,
in each case pursuant to Section 4.10(a), or (3) such Investment constitutes a Permitted Investment; 
  
 (ii) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation, the Issuer could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt
pursuant to Section 4.09(a)(i); and 
  
 (iii) such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock or Debt of, or own or hold any Lien on any Property of, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and does not have any Debt other than Non-Recourse Debt. 
  
 Unless so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any Person that becomes a
Subsidiary of the Issuer will be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such Subsidiary shall not be designated a Restricted Subsidiary and shall be automatically classified as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such Person
is a Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 
  
 (b) Neither the
Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt (other than Debt pursuant to the Indenture) that provides that the holder thereof may (with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default
thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its Stated Maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt, Lien or other obligation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take
enforcement action against any such Unrestricted Subsidiary). 
  
 (c) The Board of Directors may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation, 
  
 (x) the Issuer could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a)(i), and

  
 (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom. 
  
 (d) Any
such designation or redesignation by the Board of Directors will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution giving effect to such designation or redesignation and an Officers’ Certificate that: 
  
 (i) certifies that such designation or redesignation
complies with this Section 4.16; and 
  

 67 








 (ii) gives the effective date of such designation or redesignation, 
  
 such filing with the Trustee to occur within 60 days after the end of the fiscal quarter of
the Issuer in which such designation or redesignation is made (or, in the case of a designation or redesignation made during the last fiscal quarter of the Issuer’s fiscal year, within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year). 
  
 Section 4.17. Reports. (a) Notwithstanding that Parent may in the
future not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Parent shall at all times file with the Commission and provide the Trustee and Holders with such annual reports and such information, documents and
other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such information, documents and reports to be so filed with the Commission and provided at the times specified
for the filing of such information, documents and reports under such Sections, subject to modification by applicable regulation and the rules promulgated by the Commission; provided, however, that Parent shall not be so obligated to file such
information, documents and reports with the Commission if the Commission does not permit such filings but shall still provide such information, documents and reports to the Trustee and Holders. At any time when Parent owns any material assets other
than direct or indirect ownership of Equity Interests of the Issuer, or has any material liabilities other than (x) Debt guaranteed by the Issuer or (y) Guarantees by it of the Debt of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries,
Parent will include in its financial statements included in such filings a consolidating footnote as contemplated by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, as such rule is in effect from time to time. 
  
 (b) For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and constitute
“restricted securities” under Rule 144, Parent and the Issuer will furnish to the holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities
Act. 
  
 (c) Delivery of such reports, information and documents
to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including
Parent’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). 
  
 Section 4.18. Payment for Consents. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to
be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of any Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration
is 

  

 68 








 
offered to be paid or is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents
relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 
  
 Section 4.19.
No Amendment to the Subordination Provisions of the Subordinated Notes. The Issuer shall not amend, modify or alter the indenture governing the Subordinated Notes in any way that would (i) advance the final maturity of the Subordinated
Notes such that final maturity is earlier than the 90th day following the final maturity of the Notes or
(ii) amend the subordination provisions of the indenture governing the Subordinated Notes or any of the defined terms used therein in a manner that would be adverse to the Holders of the Notes. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
 MERGER, CONSOLIDATION AND SALE OF PROPERTY 
  
 Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property of the Issuer. (a) The Issuer shall not merge or
consolidate with or into any other Person (other than a merger of a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary and the Issuer) or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its Property (other than sales,
transfers, assignments, leases, conveyances or dispositions to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor) in any one transaction or series of transactions unless: 
  
 (i) the Issuer shall be the surviving Person (the “Surviving Person”) in such merger or
consolidation, or the Surviving Person (if other than the Issuer) formed by such merger or consolidation or to which such sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or disposition is made shall be a corporation or limited liability company
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; 
  
 (ii) the Surviving Person (if other than the Issuer) expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such Surviving Person, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, all the Notes, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and
observance of all the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Issuer; 
  
 (iii) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating,
for purposes of this Section 5.01(a)(iii) and Section 5.01(a)(iv) below, any 

  

 69 








 
Debt that becomes, or is anticipated to become, an obligation of the Surviving Person or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction or series
of transactions as having been Incurred by the Surviving Person or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
  
 (iv) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or
series of transactions on a pro forma basis, (x) the Issuer or the Surviving Person, as the case may be, would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt under Section 4.09(a)(i), or (y) the Consolidated Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio for the Issuer or the Surviving Person would be greater than such ratio immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions; and 
  
 (v) the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction or series of transactions and the supplemental indenture, if any, in respect thereto comply with this Section 5.01 and that all conditions precedent herein
provided for relating to such transaction or series of transactions have been satisfied; 
  
 provided that clauses (iv) and (v) shall not apply to a merger of the Issuer and Intermediate Holdco. 
  
 (b) The Surviving Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under the Indenture;
provided that the predecessor company in the case of: 
  
 (i) a sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its Property (unless such sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or other disposition is of all the Property of the
Issuer as an entirety or virtually as an entirety), or 
  
 (ii) a lease, 
  
 shall not be released from any of the obligations or
covenants under the Indenture, including with respect to the payment of the Notes. 
  
 Section 5.02. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property of the Guarantors. No Guarantor may merge or consolidate with or into any Person, or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all its Property, to any Person 
  

 70 








 unless 
  
 (i) in the case of Parent, the other Person is Intermediate Holdco; or 
  
 (ii) in the case of Intermediate Holdco, the other Person is Parent or the Issuer; or 
  
 (iii) in the case of any Guarantor that is a Restricted
Subsidiary, the other Person is the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor or becomes a Guarantor concurrently with the transaction; or 
  
 (iv) (A) either (x) the Guarantor is the Surviving Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person expressly assumes
by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Guarantor under its Note Guaranty; and (B) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; or 
  
 (v) in the case of any Guarantor that is a Restricted
Subsidiary, the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Property of the Guarantor (in each case other than to the
Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by the Indenture. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
  
 Section 6.01. Events of Default. The following events shall be
“Events of Default”: 
  
 (i) the
Issuer defaults in any payment of interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; 
  
 (ii) the Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal or premium amount of any Note when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated
Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, optional redemption, required repurchase or otherwise; 
  
 (iii) a breach of Section 5.01 or Section 5.02; 
  
 (iv) a breach of any covenant or agreement in the Notes or in the Indenture (other than a failure that is
the subject of the foregoing 

  

 71 








 
Section 6.01(i), (ii) or (iii)) and such failure continues for 45 days after written notice demanding that such default be remedied is given to the
Issuer as specified in this Section 6.01; 
  
 (v) a default by the Issuer, Intermediate Holdco, Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary under any Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that results in acceleration of the final stated maturity of such Debt, or the failure to pay
any such Debt at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof), in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $50 million (or its foreign equivalent at the time); 
  
 (vi) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in
an aggregate amount in excess of $50 million (or its foreign equivalent at the time) shall be rendered against the Issuer, Intermediate Holdco, Parent or any Significant Subsidiary and shall not be waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of
60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect; 
  
 (vii) the Issuer, Intermediate Holdco, Parent or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

  
 (A) commences a voluntary insolvency
proceeding or gives notice of intention to make a proposal under any Bankruptcy Law; 
  
 (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary insolvency proceeding or consents to its dissolution or
winding-up; 
  
 (C) consents to the
appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or 
  
 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 
  
 or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; provided, however, that the liquidation of any
Restricted Subsidiary into the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary, other than as part of a credit reorganization, shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Section 6.01(vii); 
  

 72 








 (viii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy
Law that: 
  
 (A) is for relief against any of
the Issuer, Intermediate Holdco, Parent or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary insolvency proceeding; 
  
 (B) appoints a Custodian of any of the Issuer, Intermediate Holdco, Parent or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of
its property; 
  
 (C) orders the winding up,
liquidation or dissolution of any of the Issuer, Intermediate Holdco, Parent or any Significant Subsidiary; 
  
 (D) orders the presentation of any plan or arrangement, compromise reorganization of any of the Issuer, Intermediate Holdco, Parent or any
Significant Subsidiary; or 
  
 (E) grants any
similar relief under any Bankruptcy Law or foreign laws; 
  
 and in each such case
the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; and 
  
 (ix) any Note Guaranty ceases to be in full force and effect, other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or a Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guaranty, other than in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture. 
  
 The foregoing will
constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation
of any administrative or governmental body. 
  
 A Default under
Section 6.01(iv) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding notify the Issuer (and in the case of such notice by Holders, the Trustee) of
the Default and such Default is not cured within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” 
  
 The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence
thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default and any event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto. The Issuer shall immediately notify the Trustee if a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Issuer is convened to 

  

 73 








 
consider any action mandated by a petition for debt settlement proceedings or bankruptcy proceedings. The Issuer shall also promptly advise the Trustee of
the approval of the filing of a debt settlement or bankruptcy petition prior to the filing of such petition. 
  
 Section 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(vii) or Section 6.01(viii) with respect to Parent, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the registered Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Trustee specifying the applicable Event of Default and that it is a “notice of
acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. 
  
 (b) In case an Event of Default resulting from Section 6.01(vii) or Section 6.01(viii) with respect to Parent, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer shall occur, such amount with respect to all the Notes shall
be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the registered
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) all existing
Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) 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, (iv) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements
and advances and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in either Section 6.01(vii) or Section 6.01(viii), the Trustee shall
have received an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  
 (c) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an
Event of Default described in Section 6.01(v) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the payment Default or other Default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to
Section 6.01(v) shall be remedied or cured or waived by the Holders of the relevant Debt within the grace period applicable to such Default provided for in the documentation governing such Debt and if (i) the annulment of the acceleration
of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a 

  

 74 








 
court of competent jurisdiction, (d) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due
solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived and (e) all the other amounts due to the Trustee have been paid. 
  
 (d) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to
exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to Section 7.07, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee with respect to the Notes. 
  
 Section 6.03. 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, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or the Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party. 
  
 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. Any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee may be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provisions for the payment of the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 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, to the extent permitted by law. Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Issuer. 
  
 Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by
reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default with respect to such Notes and its consequences by providing
written notice thereof to the Issuer and the Trustee, except a Default (i) in the payment of interest on or the principal of any Note or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under the Indenture cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. In the case of any such waiver, the 

  

 75 








 
Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes will be restored to their former positions and rights under the Indenture, respectively; provided
that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
  
 Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of at least 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 exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, that
may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of the Notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper
that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Notes. 
  
 Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy hereunder
unless: 
  
 (i) such Holder has previously given
to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
  
 (ii) the registered Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as
Trustee; and 
  
 (iii) the Trustee shall not have
received from the registered Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding, within 60 days after such notice, request
and offer. 
  
 However, such limitations do not apply to a suit
instituted by a Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note. 
  
 Section 6.07. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and
Stockholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Parent, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of Parent, Intermediate Holdco or the Issuer under the Notes, any Note
Guaranty or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note 

  

 76 








 
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 
  
 Section 6.08. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date
expressed in the Notes shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
  
 Section 6.09. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid. 
  
 Section 6.10. 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 any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its Property and, unless prohibited by law,
shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are
not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

  
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or 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 proceedings. All rights of action and claims under the Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes thereof in any proceeding relating thereto,
and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the 

  

 77 








 
ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
  
 Section 6.11. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money
in the following order: 
  
 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due
under Section 7.07; 
  
 SECOND: to Holders for amounts due
and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest as to each, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes; and 
  
 THIRD: to the Issuer. 
  
 The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders
pursuant to this Section 6.11. 
  
 Section 6.12.
Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the 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 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
 TRUSTEE 
  
 Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
Person’s own affairs. 
  
 (b) Except during the continuance
of an Event of Default: 
  
 (i) The Trustee need
perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. 
  

 78 








 (ii) 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 or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of the Indenture but, in the case of any such
certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of the
Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). Whenever in the administration of the Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior
to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate, subject to the
requirement in the preceding sentence, if applicable. 
  
 (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: 
  
 (i) This paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 7.01(b). 
  
 (ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer
or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
  
 (iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes received by it pursuant to the terms hereof. 
  
 (iv) No provision of the Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in
the performance of any of its rights, powers or duties if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

  
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
Section 7.01(a), (b), (c) and (e) shall govern every provision of the Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee. 
  
 (e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of
the 

  

 79 








 
Holders pursuant to the Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request. 
  
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by the law. 
  
 Section 7.02.
Rights of Trustee. Subject to Section 7.01: (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any 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. 
  
 (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may request an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 11.05. The Trustee shall be
protected and shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. 
  
 (c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed by it with
due care. 
  
 (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action
it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
  
 (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or
opinion of such counsel with respect to legal matters relating to the Notes or the Indenture shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
  
 (f)
The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each
agent, Custodian and other person employed to act hereunder. 
  
 (g) The Trustee 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, note, 

  

 80 








 
other evidence of indebtedness 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 the books records, and premises of the Issuer, 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. 
  
 (h) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture. 
  
 (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and the Indenture. 
  
 (j) The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to the Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such
certificate previously delivered and not suspended. 
  
 (k) The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, unless either (i) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or (ii) written notice of
such default or Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuer or by any Holder of the Notes; and 
  
 (l) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties. 
  
 Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the Issuer, or any Affiliate thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
The Trustee, however, shall be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
  
 Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of the Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the
proceeds from the 

  

 81 








 
sale of Notes or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes or the
Indenture other than its certificate of authentication, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver the Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by
it in any Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 to be supplied to the Issuer will be true and accurate subject to the qualifications set forth therein. 
  
 Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall give to each Holder a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs in the manner and to the extent provided in the TIA and otherwise as provided in the Indenture. Except in the case of a Default in payment of the principal of
or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders. 
  
 Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. If required by TIA § 313(a), within 60 days after May 15 of any year, commencing in 2006, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies
with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c) and TIA § 313(d). 
  
 Reports pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be transmitted by mail:

  
 (i) to all Holders of Notes, as the names and
addresses of such Holders appear on the Registrar’s books; and 
  
 (ii) to such Holders of Notes as have, within the two years preceding such transmission, filed their names and addresses with the Trustee for that purpose. 
  
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on
which the Notes are listed. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 
  
 Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time such compensation for their services
hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as shall be agreed upon in writing. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by 

  

 82 








 
them in connection with the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and external counsel, except any expense disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
  
 The Issuer shall fully indemnify each of the Trustee, Agent and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless
against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee or such Agent) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by each of them in
connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under the Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs). The Trustee or Agent shall notify the Issuer in writing promptly of any claim (a “Claim”) of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge
asserted against the Trustee or Agent for which it may seek indemnity; provided that the failure by the Trustee or Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Issuer is
actually prejudiced thereby. In the event that a conflict of interest exists, the Trustee may have separate counsel, which counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer need not reimburse
the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
  
 To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes
on all money or Property held or collected by the Trustee and such money or Property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. 
  
 The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or
reimburse the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be the liability of the Issuer and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination
of the Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(vii) or Section 6.01(viii) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

 83 








 For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed
pursuant to this Article Seven. 
  
 Section 7.08. Replacement
of Trustee. The Trustee shall comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA, to the extent applicable. 
  
 The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Issuer in writing no later than 15 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Issuer and the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Issuer may remove the Trustee at its election if: 
  
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 or Section 310 of the TIA; 
  
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

  
 (c) a receiver or other public officer takes
charge of the Trustee or its Property; or 
  
 (d)

 If the
Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. 
  
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately following such delivery,
the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.07, transfer all Property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, 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 the Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s
obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
  

 84 








 Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided
such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated
therein. 
  
 Section 7.12. Paying Agents. The Issuer shall
cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.12: 
  
 (a) (i) that it will hold all sums held by it as agent for
the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee; 
  
 (ii) that it will at any time during the continuance of any
Event of Default, upon written request from the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and 
  
 (iii) that it will give the Trustee written notice within three (3) Business Days of any failure of the Issuer (or by any obligor on
the Notes) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable. 
  
 (b) The Paying Agent shall comply with all U.S. withholding tax, backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements under the

tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived (except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest and under 8.02(b) below) with the consent of the registered

 (xi) at any time after the Issuer is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer with the Excess Proceeds from
Asset Sales, change the time at which such Prepayment Offer must be made or at which the Notes must be repurchased pursuant thereto. 
  
 (c) The consent of the Holders of the Notes shall not be necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It shall be sufficient if

 (d) After an amendment that requires the consent of the Holders of Notes becomes effective, the Issuer is required to mail to each registered Holder of the Notes at such Holder’s address appearing in the Note register a notice briefly
describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders of the Notes, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. 
  
 (e) Upon the written request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such
supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06, the Trustee
shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note. 
  

 88

Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more
than 90 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained. 
  
 Section 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee (in accordance with
the specific written direction of the Issuer) shall request the Holder of the Note (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Issuer) to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the
Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  
 Section 8.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Eight
if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such amendment,
supplement or waiver. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.04, that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by the Indenture and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the
Guarantors, enforceable against the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

 ARTICLE 9 
 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
  
 Section 9.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. (a) The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect
as to all Notes, issued hereunder when: 
  
 (i)
either (x) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid by the Issuer, have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation, or (y) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one
year, and 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 U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and
U.S. Government Obligations, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and
accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
  
 (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound; 
  
 (iii) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under the Indenture; and 
  
 (iv) in the event of a deposit as provided in clause (i)(y)
above, the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. 
  
 In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 
  
 (b) Subject to Section 9.01(e) and 9.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture, and the Note
Guarantees by each Guarantor (“Legal Defeasance”). The Issuer at any time may terminate (i) its obligations under Section 4.08 through 4.17 and 4.19; (ii) Sections 6.01(v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) (with
respect only to the Significant Subsidiaries in the case of Sections 6.01(vii) and (viii)); and (iii) Section 5.01(a)(iv) (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with any covenant referred to in
clause (i) or (iii) above will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Each Note Guaranty will be released upon Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its
prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option. 
  

 90 








 (c) If the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Issuer exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(iv) (with respect to the covenants
listed under Section 9.01(b)(i)), or Section 6.01(a)(v), (vi), (vii), (viii) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) and Section 6.01(ix) or because of a failure to comply with Section 5.01(a)(iv). 
  
 (d) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of
the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.19, 7.07, 9.03,
9.04, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive until such time as the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 9.03, 9.04, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive. 
  
 Section 9.02 . Conditions to Defeasance. The Legal Defeasance option or the Covenant Defeasance option may be
exercised only if: 
  
 (a) the Issuer irrevocably
deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
  
 (b) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from an
internationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus
any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; 
  
 (c) 123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the
123-day period no Default described in Section 6.01(vii) and (viii) occurs with respect to the Issuer or any other Person making such deposit which is continuing at the end of the period; 
  
 (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto; 
  

 91 








 (e) such deposit does not constitute a default under any other material agreement or
instrument binding on the Issuer; 
  
 (f) the
Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 
  
 (g) in the case of the Legal Defeasance option, the Issuer
delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that: 
  
 (i) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 
  
 (ii) since the date of the Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, 
  
 to the effect, in either case, that, and based thereon such Opinion of
Counsel shall confirm that, 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 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 defeasance had not occurred; 
  
 (h) in the case of the Covenant Defeasance option, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that 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 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 defeasance had not occurred; and 
  
 (i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes have been complied with as
required by the Indenture. 
  
 Section 9.03. Deposited Money
and Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.02(a) in respect of the outstanding
Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and the Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of 

  

 92 








 
principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.02(a) or the principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is
for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
  
 Anything in this Article Nine to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon a request of the Issuer any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in
Section 9.02(a) which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to
be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 Section 9.04. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to this Article Nine until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment
of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued 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 Government
Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  
 Section
9.05. Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of the Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Issuer, be paid to the
Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.02(a), to the Issuer upon a request of the Issuer, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys. 

 
 Section 9.06. Moneys Held by Trustee. Any moneys deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Issuer in trust for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the date upon
which the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Issuer upon a request 

  

 93 








 
of the Issuer, or if such moneys are then held by the Issuer in trust, such moneys shall be released from such trust and the Holder of such Note entitled to
receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided
that the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Issuer, either mail to each Holder affected, at the address shown in the Note register maintained by the Registrar pursuant to
Section 2.04, or cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New York, a notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment
to the Issuer or the release of any money held in trust by the Issuer, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person. 
  
 ARTICLE 10 
 GUARANTEES 
  
 Section 10.01. The Guarantees. Subject to the provisions of this Article Ten, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, on an unsecured senior basis, the full and
punctual payment (whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Prepayment Offer or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable
under, each Note, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the Indenture. The Note Guarantees rank pari passu with all of the current and future unsecured senior Debt of each Guarantor, respectively.
Upon failure by the Issuer to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the Indenture. 
  
 Section 10.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by 
  
 (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Issuer under the
Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise; 
  

 94 








 (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Indenture or any Note; 
  
 (c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the
Issuer, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Issuer or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Issuer contained in the Indenture or any Note; 
  
 (d) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor
may have at any time against the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with the Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or
compulsory counterclaim; 
  
 (e) any invalidity or
unenforceability relating to or against the Issuer for any reason of the Indenture or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Issuer of the principal of or interest on any Note or any
other amount payable by the Issuer under the Indenture; or 
  
 (f)
any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense
to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. 
  
 Section
10.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under the
Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 
  
 Section 10.04. Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably
waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Issuer or any other Person. 
  
 Section 10.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment
with respect to any obligation of the Issuer under this Article, the Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Issuer with respect to such obligation, provided that such Guarantor may not enforce
either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the 

  

 95 








 
nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder or under
the Notes remains unpaid. 
  
 Section 10.06. Stay of
Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Issuer under the Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration under the terms of the Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders. 
  
 Section 10.07. Limitation on Amount of Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of
Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code
or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor (other than Parent and Intermediate Holdco) under its Note Guaranty
are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law 

 
 Section 10.08. Execution and Delivery of Guaranty. The execution by
each Guarantor of the Indenture evidences the Note Guaranty of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the
Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guaranty set forth in the Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor. 
  
 Section 10.09. Release of Guaranty. The Note Guaranty of a Guarantor will terminate upon 
  
 (a) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, a
sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor otherwise permitted by the Indenture, 
  
 (b) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer,
the designation in accordance with the Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, 
  
 (c) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, upon release of all other Guarantees of Debt of the Issuer by such Guarantor, or

  

 96 








 (d) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Article Nine hereto. 

 
 Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guaranty.
