interests in the Unlegended Regulation S Global Notes pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Unlegended Regulation S Global Notes, the Trustee shall cancel the Legended Regulation S Global Note. The
aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of
interest as hereinafter provided.

authenticated under this Indenture.

(“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee

if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company
at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a
Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall
serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

 The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven

opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a
transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium or Additional Interest,
if 

  

 41 

 
any, and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes (subject to the provisions of the Notes for record dates), and none of the Trustee, any Agent or
the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. 
  
 (viii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar
pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. 
  
 Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. 
  
 If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and
the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. 
  
 Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall
be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. 
  
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation,
those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b) hereof. 
  
 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. 
  
 If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

  
 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or
an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes 

  

 42 

 
payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 
  
 Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. 
  
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes
have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. 
  
 Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. 
  
 Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company
may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for
temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. 
  
 Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this
Indenture. 
  
 Section 2.11 Cancellation. 
  
 The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
  
 Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. 
  
 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons
who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and
the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted
interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon 

  

 43 

 
the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that
states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 
  
 Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. 
  
 The Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders if the Company uses “CUSIP” numbers in issuing the Notes; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made
as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers. 
  
 Section 2.14 Additional Notes. 
  
 The Company may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders,
create and issue pursuant to this Indenture Additional Notes having terms and conditions identical to those of the Notes, except that Additional Notes: 
  
 (i) may have a different issue date from the Notes; 
  
 (ii) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than
is payable on other Notes; and 
  
 (iii) may have
terms specified in the Additional Note Board Resolution or Additional Note Supplemental Indenture for such Additional Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article 2 and Exhibit A (and related definitions) applicable to such Additional Notes
in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Additional Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the
Holder of any Notes (other than such Additional Notes); 
  
 provided, that
no adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall cause such Additional Notes to constitute, as determined pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel, a different class of securities than the Original Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes except for
Additional Notes that have a separate CUSIP number from the Notes pending performance by the Company of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. 
  
 Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. 
  
 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select
the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by
lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than
60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. 
  
 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount
of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for
redemption. 
  
 Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 
  
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

  
 (a) the CUSIP number; 
  
 (b) the redemption date; 
  
 (c) the redemption price; 
  
 (d) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal

 45 

 (e) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
  
 (f) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent
to collect the redemption price;

 (h) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being
redeemed; and 
  
 (i) that no representation is made as to the
correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. 
  
 At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days, or such shorter period to which the Trustee may consent, prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. 
  
 Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
  
 Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

 As of 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the redemption date, the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return
to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed. 

 
 If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on
and after the redemption date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related
interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not
be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest and 

  

 46 

 
Additional Interest, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any
interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 
  
 Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part.

thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date; provided that at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of
such redemption and that such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below. 
  
 The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions
similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except
to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (on a pro rata basis if Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness of the Company tendered
are in excess of the Excess Proceeds) (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so
purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
  
 If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the
close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 
  
 Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to
the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of
the Asset Sale Offer, shall state: 
  
 (a) the CUSIP number;

  
 (b) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open; 
  
 (c) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; 
  

(d) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest; 
  
 (e) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer
shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date; 
  

 48 

 (f) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have
Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000 only; 
  
 (g) that
Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry
transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; 
  
 (h) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the
case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement
that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; 
  
 (i) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness of the Company surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness to be purchased 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); and 
  
 (j) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new
Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). 
  
 On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount
of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness of the Company tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly
(but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall
promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so
accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date. 
  
 The Company shall comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or
regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable to any Asset Sale Offer. If the provisions of any of the 

  

 49 

 
applicable securities laws or securities regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.09, the Company shall comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.09 by virtue of the compliance. 
  
 Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections
3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.07 shall be determined by the Board of Directors whose resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of Director’s determination must be based
upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if such fair market value exceeds $50.0 million. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to
the Trustee on Officer’s Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this covenant were computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal

not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

those agreements; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment
restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of this Indenture; 
  
 (ii) this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees; 
  
 (iii) applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 
  
 (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock
of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition),
which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness
was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred; 
  
 (v) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

restricts distributions by that Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; 
  
 (viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

business. 
  
 Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred
Stock. 
  
 The Company and the Guarantors shall not, and
shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly, or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company or any Guarantor may incur
Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock if the Company’s Leverage Ratio at the time of incurrence of such Indebtedness or the issuance of such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock, as the case may be,
after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance as of such date and to the use of the proceeds therefrom as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended four full fiscal quarter period of the Company for which
internal financial statements are available, would have been no greater than 7.0 to 1. 
  
 The provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 
  
 (i) the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of
additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (i) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential
liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $800.0 million less the aggregate amount applied by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to permanently reduce the availability of Indebtedness under the Credit Facility
pursuant to Section 4.10; 
  
 (ii) the incurrence
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness; 
  
 (iii) the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the date of this Indenture; 
  
 (iv) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose 

  

 58 

 
of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment whether through the direct purchase
of assets or at least a majority of the Voting Stock of any person owning such assets, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to
this clause (iv) not to exceed $10.0 million at any time outstanding; 
  
 (v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than
intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (x) or (xii) of this paragraph; 
  
 (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by
a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, shall be deemed, in each case, to
constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (vi); 
  
 (vii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of
fixing or hedging (x) interest rate risk with respect to any floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding or (y) currency exchange rate risk in ordinary course of business; 
  
 (viii) the guarantee by the Company of Indebtedness of any
of Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; 
  
 (ix) the guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that was permitted to be incurred by
another provision of this covenant; 
  
 (x)
Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including without limitation letters of credit in respect
to workers’ compensation claims or self-insurance, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims; provided, however, that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the
incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence; 
  

 59 

 (xi) Obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds and completion guarantees
provided by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; 
  
 (xii) Acquisition Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary if (w) such Acquisition Debt is incurred within 270 days after the date
on which the related definitive acquisition agreement or LMA, as the case may be, was entered into by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, (x) the aggregate principal amount of such Acquisition Debt is no greater than the aggregate principal
amount of Acquisition Debt set forth in a notice from the Company to the Trustee (an “Incurrence Notice”) within ten days after the date on which the related definitive acquisition agreement or LMA, as the case may be, was entered into by
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, which notice shall be executed on the Company’s behalf by the chief financial officer of the Company in such capacity and shall describe in reasonable detail the acquisition or LMA, as the case may be,
which such Acquisition Debt shall be incurred to finance, (y) after giving pro forma effect to the acquisition or LMA, as the case may be, described in such Incurrence Notice, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such
Acquisition Debt under this Indenture as of the date upon which the Company delivers such Incurrence Notice to the Trustee and (z) such Acquisition Debt is utilized solely to finance the acquisition or LMA, as the case may be, described in such
Incurrence Notice (including to repay or refinance indebtedness or other obligations incurred in connection with such acquisition or LMA, as the case may be, and to pay related fees and expenses); 
  
 (xiii) guarantees by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of Indebtedness of officers of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $5.0 million at any time outstanding; 
  
 (xiv) the incurrence by the Company’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Non-Recourse Debt, provided,
however, that if any such Indebtedness ceases to be Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such event will be deemed to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was not permitted by this
clause (xiv); and 
  
 (xv) the incurrence by the
Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or
replace any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xv), not to exceed $25.0 million. 
  
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of
the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xv) above, or is entitled to be incurred 

  

 60 

 
pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.09, the Company shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or
later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the accretion of accreted value shall not be deemed to
be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such
date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Debt. 
  
 Section 4.10 Asset Sales. 
  
 (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
  
 (i) The Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to
the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; 
  
 (ii) the fair market value is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors
set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and 
  
 (iii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, except to the extent the Company is undertaking a Permitted
Asset Swap. For purposes of this provision and the next paragraph, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: 
  
 (A) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement
that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability; and 
  
 (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are
converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary within 90 days after the date of the applicable Asset Sale into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion. 
  
 The 75% limitation referred to in clause (iii) above shall not apply to any
Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalents portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the preceding provision, is equal to or greater 

  

 61 

 
than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall
be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with the foregoing if: 
  
 (x) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market
value of the assets or other property sold, issued or otherwise disposed of: 
  
 (y) the fair market value is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and

  
 (z) at least 75% of the consideration for
such Asset Sale constitutes a controlling interest in a Permitted Business, assets used or useful in a Permitted Business and/or cash; 
  
 provided that any cash (other than any amount deemed cash under clause (iii)(A) of the preceding paragraph) received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in
connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this paragraph shall constitute Net Proceeds subject to the provisions of the next paragraph. 
  

(b) Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, provided that
(1) such Net Proceeds either singularly or when aggregated with all other Net Proceeds from all Asset Sales consummated since the date of this Indenture exceed $10,000,000; and (2) the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately
prior to the date on which such application of such Net Proceeds would otherwise be required is greater than 6.00 to 1.00 and then only to the extent necessary to reduce the Leverage Ratio to 6.00 to 1.00, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary
may apply those Net Proceeds at its option: 
  
 (i) to repay Senior Debt and, if the Senior Debt repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; 
  

(ii) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business;

  
 (iii) to make a capital expenditure; or

  
 (iv) to acquire other assets that are used or
useful in a Permitted Business. 
  
 Pending the final application
of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 
  

 62 

 Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph
shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with
the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and shall be
payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other
pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each
Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. 
  
 (c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of
Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations
and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. 
  
 Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. 
  
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an
“Affiliate Transaction”), unless: 
  
 (a) the Affiliate
Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

  
 (b) the Company delivers to the Trustee: 
  
 (i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11
and that 

  

 63 

 
such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and 
  
 (ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of
related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment
banking firm of national standing. 
  
 The following items shall
not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph: 
  
 (a) any employment agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past
practice of the Company or such Subsidiary with any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; 
  
 (b) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
  
 (c) loans, advances, payment of reasonable fees, indemnification of directors, or similar arrangements to officers,
directors, employees and consultants who are not otherwise Affiliates of the Company; 
  
 (d) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Company; 
  
 (e) transactions under any contract or agreement in effect on the date of this Indenture as the same may be amended, modified or replaced from time to
time so long as any amendment, modification, or replacement is no less favorable to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries than the contract or agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture; 
  
 (f) services to be provided to any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company in
the ordinary course of business, which the Board of Directors has determined, pursuant to a resolution thereof, that such services are provided on terms at least as favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as those that would have
been obtained in a comparable transaction with an unrelated Person; and 
  
 (g) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of this Indenture described under Section 4.07. 
  
 Section 4.12 Liens. 
  
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to suffer to
exist or become effective 

  

 64 

 
any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness, or trade payables on any of their property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

  
 Section 4.13 Corporate Existence. 
  
 Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be
amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such
right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 
  
 Section 4.14 [Intentionally Omitted] 
  
 Section 4.15 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. 
  
 (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all
or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the
date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 10 business days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder stating: (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this
Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control
Payment Date”); (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall
cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders will be
entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the
name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new
Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or 

  

 65 

 
an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and
regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes in connection with a Change of Control.

Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly
tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change
of Control Payment Date. 
  
 (c) Prior to complying with any of
the provisions of this Section 4.15, but in any event within 90 days following a Change of Control, the Company will either pay all outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all the agreements governing outstanding
Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of the Notes required by this covenant. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the
Company 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 4.15
and Section 3.09 hereof and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer. 
  
 Section 4.16 No Senior Subordinated Debt. 
  
 The Company shall not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee, or otherwise
become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Company and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor shall incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or
otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor and senior in any respect in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee.

 Section 4.17 Additional Subsidiary Guarantees. 
  
 If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture,
excluding all Subsidiaries that have been properly designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then that newly acquired or created Domestic
Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental Indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee within 10 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created. 
  
 Section 4.18 Limitation on Issuances of Equity Interests in Wholly Owned Subsidiaries.

  
 The Company (i) shall not, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interest in any Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of the Company to any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), unless (a) as a
result of such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition or issuance such Restricted Subsidiary no longer constitutes a Subsidiary and (b) the cash Net Proceeds from such transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition are
applied in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof and (ii) shall not permit any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to issue any of its Equity Interests (other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors’
qualifying shares) to any Person other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company. 
  
 Section 4.19 Payments for Consent. 
  
 The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the
benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and 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 4.20 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 
  
 The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a
Default or an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly
designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.07 or Permitted Investments. That designation will only be
permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted 

  

 67 

 
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default.

indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or
any of the Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date hereof, which default (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness prior to
the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of default (a “Payment Default”) or (ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of
such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more; 
  
 (g) a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money are entered
by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments remain

national or international reputation which has acknowledged its obligations in writing; 
  
 (h) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  
 Section 6.02 Acceleration. 
  
 If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Significant Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all the outstanding
Notes shall become due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of
Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, the principal amount and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all the outstanding shall be due and payable immediately
without further action or notice. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest, Additional Interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or
waived. 
  
 In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the
Notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in clause (f) of Section 6.01, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the holders
of any Indebtedness described in clause (f) of Section 6.01 have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of the Indebtedness within 30 days of the date of the declaration and if (i) the annulment of the acceleration 

  

 71 

 
of Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (ii) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of
principal or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived. 
  
 If an Event of Default occurs on or after February 15, 2009 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the
Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium
shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default occurs prior to February 15, 2009 by reason of any willful
action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an additional premium shall also become and
be immediately due and payable in an amount, for each of the years beginning on February 15 of the years set forth below, as set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes on the date of payment that would otherwise
be due but for the provisions of this sentence): 
  

				
	 Year

	  	Percentage

	 
	 2005
	  	106.3750	%
	 2006
	  	105.5783	%
	 2007
	  	104.7815	%
	 2008
	  	103.9848	%

  
 Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

  
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 
  
 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the
Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. 
  
 Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. 
  
 Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default
and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, 

  

 72 

 
premium and or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

 
 Section 6.05 Control by Majority. 
  
 Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 
  
 Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. 
  
 A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: 
  
 (a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
  
 (b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 
  
 (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if
requested, the provision of indemnity; and 
  
 (e) during such
60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a
Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. 
  
 Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective
due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. 
  
 If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the
extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 
  
 Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
  
 The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the
payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason,
payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under
any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 
  

Section 6.10 Priorities. 
  
 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order: 
  
 First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts
due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; 
  

 74 

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

  
 Third: to the Company or to such party as a
court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
  
 The Trustee may
fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
  
 Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 
  
 In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by
any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes.

compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request
for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
counsel. 
  
 The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any
and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company
(including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to
the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not
relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.
The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
  
 The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 
  
 To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee
shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
The obligations of the Company to pay amounts to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall not be subordinate to other indebtedness or obligations of the Company. 
  
 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  
 The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the
extent applicable. 
  

 78 

 Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. 
  
 A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the
successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section. 
  
 The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the
Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: 
  
 (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; 
  
 (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 

 
 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or 
  
 (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

  
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a
successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 
  
 If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of
the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
  

 79 

 Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. 
  
 If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business
to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 
  
 Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. 
  
 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

  
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b). 
  
 Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
  
 The Trustee is subject to 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. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
  
 LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

  
 Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

  
 The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors
evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight.

  
 Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. 
  
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes,
which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes
and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the 

  

 80 

 
following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely
from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection
therewith and (d) this Article Eight. Subject to compliance with this Article Eight, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 
  
 Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11,
4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 hereof and clause (iv) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but
shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any
such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as
specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) through 6.01(f) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 
  
 Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes: 
  
 In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

  
 (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants, to pay the principal of, 

  

 81 

 
premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date,
as the case may be; 
  
 (b) in the case of an election under
Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding
Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; 
  
 (c) in the case of an
election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain
or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not
occurred; 
  
 (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article Eight
concurrently with such incurrence); 
  
 (e) such Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; 
  
 (f) the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that on the 91st day following the deposit, the
trust fund will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally; 
  

(g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent
of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and 
  
 (h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 
  

 82 

 Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

  
 Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable
Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding
Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
  
 Anything
in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the
amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
  
 Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. 
  
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national
edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to
the Company. 
  

 83 

 Section 8.07 Reinstatement. 
  
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under
this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section
8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  
 ARTICLE 9 
  
 AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 
  
 Section 9.01 Without Consent of
Holders of Notes. 
  
 Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this
Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note: 
  
 (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 
  
 (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of
Article 2 hereof (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder; 
  
 (c) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Company
pursuant to Article 5 or Article 11 hereof; 
  
 (d) to make any
change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Note; 
  
 (e) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

  
 (f) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in
accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date hereof; or 
  
 (g) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Notes. 
  

 84 

 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental
Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental
Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  
 Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. 
  
 Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Notes with the
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or
purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a
payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Without the consent of at least 75% in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes), no waiver or amendment to this Indenture may make any change relating to (1) the provisions of
Article 10 hereof that adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes or (2) release of any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Section
2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. 
  
 Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental
Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join
with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the
Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture. 
  
 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
  

 85 

 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class may waive
compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a
non- consenting Holder): 
  
 (a) reduce the principal amount of
Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 
  
 (b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof;

  
 (c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
interest, including default interest, on any Note; 
  
 (d) waive a
Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 
  
 (e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes; 
  
 (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of
Notes to receive payments of principal of or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes; 
  
 (g) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 hereof or in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions; or 
  
 (h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note except as provided
above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof. 
  
 Section 9.03
Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. 
  
 Every amendment
or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 
  

 86 

 Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. 
  
 Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by
the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or
subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in
accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 
  
 Section 9.05
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 
  
 The Trustee may
place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that
reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
  
 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 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. 
  
 The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment or supplement does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 
  
 ARTICLE 10 
  
 SUBORDINATION

  
 Section 10.01 Agreement to Subordinate. 
  
 The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created,
incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. 
  

 87 

 Section 10.02 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. 
  
 Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities: 
  
 (i) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive
payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt whether or not a claim for such interest would be allowed in
such proceeding) before Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character with respect to the Notes or on account of any purchase or redemption or other acquisition on any Note (except that
Holders may receive and retain (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof so long as, on the date or dates the respective amounts were paid into
trust, such payments were made without violating the provisions set forth in this Article 10); and 
  
 (ii) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in clause (i) above) are paid in full, any distribution to which
Holders would be entitled but for this Article 10 shall be made to holders of Senior Debt (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust
created pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof), as their interests may appear. 
  
 Section 10.03 Default on Designated Senior Debt. 
  
 (a) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor may make any payment or distribution of any kind or character to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Notes and may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any
Notes for cash or property (other than (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof) until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the
Senior Debt have been paid in full if: 
  
 (i) a
default in the payment of any principal or other Obligations with respect to Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period in the agreement, indenture or other document governing such Designated Senior Debt; or

  
 (ii) a default, other than a payment default,
on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of the Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Person who may give
it pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof. If the Trustee receives any such Payment Blockage Notice, no 

  

 88 

 
subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until at least 360 days shall have elapsed since the
effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment
Blockage Notice unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. 
  
 (b) The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Notes and may acquire them upon the earlier of: 
  
 (i) the date upon which the default is cured or waived, or

  
 (ii) in the case of a default referred to in
clause (ii) of Section 10.03(a) hereof, the earlier of: (A) 179 days pass after the Applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, or (B) the date on which the trustee receives notice from or on behalf of the holders of Designated Senior Debt to
terminate the applicable Payment Blockage Notice, unless in either case, the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated, if this Article 10 otherwise permits the payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment or
acquisition. 
  
 Section 10.04 Acceleration of Notes. 
  
 If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the
Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration. 
  
 Section 10.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. 
  
 In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes (except (A) in Permitted Junior Securities or (B) from payments and other distributions made from any defeasance trust created
pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof) at a time such payment is prohibited by Section 10.03 hereof, such payment shall be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written
request, to, the holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear or their Representative under this indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for
application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or
for the holders of Senior Debt. 
  
 With respect to the holders of
Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 10, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into
this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the

  

 89 

 
Company money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10, except if such payment is made as a result of the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. 
  
 Section 10.06 Notice
by Company. 
  
 The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee
and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 10, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior
Debt as provided in this Article 10. 
  
 Section 10.07 Subrogation.

  
 After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are
paid in full, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that
distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between
the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Notes. 
  
 Section 10.08
Relative Rights. 
  
 This Article 10 defines the relative
rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: 
  
 (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; 
  
 (ii) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or 
  
 (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or
Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes. 
  
 If the Company fails because of this Article 10 to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of
Default. 
  
 Section 10.09 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

  
 No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the
subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Indenture. 
  

 90 

 Section 10.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. 
  
 Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior
Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. 
  
 Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent
jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate
in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10.

  
 Section 10.11 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 10 or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the
Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate
this Article 10. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 10 shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof. 
  
 The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with
the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. 
  
 Section 10.12 Authorization to Effect Subordination. 
  
 Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as
provided in this Article 10, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred
to in Section 6.09 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes. 
  
 Section 10.13 Amendments. 
  
 The provisions of this Article 10 shall not be amended or modified without
the written consent of the holders of all Senior Debt. 
  

 91 

  
 ARTICLE 11 
  
 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES 
  
 Section 11.01 Guarantee. 
  
 Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and
severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the
obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise,
and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension
or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a Guarantee of payment and not a Guarantee of collection. 
  
 The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the
same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of
the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. 
  
 If
any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by
either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 
  
 Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby
until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may
be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, 

  

 92 

 
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the
right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. 
  
 Section 11.02 Subordination of Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  
 The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to this Article 11 shall be junior and subordinated to the Senior Guarantee of
such Guarantor on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the
Guarantors only at such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, including Article 10 hereof. 
  
 Section 11.03 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. 
  
 Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of
such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any
Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and
fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such
other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  
 Section 11.04 Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  
 To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such
Subsidiary Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit E shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by
its President or one of its Vice Presidents. 
  
 Each Guarantor
hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  

 93 

 If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. 
  
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth
in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. 
  
 In the event
that the Company creates or acquires any new Subsidiaries subsequent to the date hereof, if required by Section 4.17 hereof, the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Subsidiary Guarantees in
accordance with Section 4.17 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable. 
  
 Section 11.05 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.06, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such
Guarantor unless: 
  
 (a) subject to Section 11.06 hereof, the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; and 
  
 (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. 
  
 In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the
assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the
covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person
thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees
so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had
been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
  
 Except as set
forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor,

  

 94 

 
or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

  
 Section 11.06 Releases Following Sale of Assets. 
  
 In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any
Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or
other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any
Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  
 Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided
in this Article 11. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
  
 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 
  
 Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. 
  
 This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as
to all Notes issued hereunder, when: 
  
 (1) either: 

 
 (a) 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 theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 
  
 (b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in 

  

 95 

 
U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment
of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; 
  
 (2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the
Company or any Guarantor is bound; 
  
 (3) the Company or any
Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and 
  
 (4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture 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 Company 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. 
  
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause
(1) of this Section, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive. 
  
 Section 12.02 Application of Trust Money. 
  
 Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been
deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
  
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 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 Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 6 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 
  
 Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated. 
  
 1. Interest. Radio One, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6 3/8% per annum from February 10, 2005 until maturity and to pay the Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement
referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest
Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest,
and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be August 15, 2005. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum
in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods)
from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest to the Persons who are registered
Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 or August 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12
of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and
State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of
immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or
the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
  
 3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent
and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of February 10, 2005
(“Indenture”) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note
conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Original Notes are obligations of the Company limited to $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount. Unless the context
otherwise requires, the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes shall constitute one series for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, amendments, waivers, redemptions, Change of Control Offers and Asset Sale Offers. Subject
to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may issue Additional Notes. All Notes, including Additional Notes, will be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. 
  
 5. Optional Redemption. 
  
 (a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 5, the Company
shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to February 15, 2009. Thereafter, the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 15 of the years
indicated below: 
  

				
	 Year

	  	Percentage

	 
	 2009
	  	103.188	%
	 2010
	  	101.594	%
	 2011 and thereafter
	  	100.000	%

  
 (b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any time prior to February 15, 2008, the Company may redeem Notes with the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.375% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof; provided that at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and that such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing
of such Equity Offering. 
  
 6. Mandatory Redemption. 

 
 Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be
required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes. 
  
 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. 
  
 (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal 

  

 A-3 

 
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).
Within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 
  
 (b) Following the consummation by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of
one or more Asset Sales that result in the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeding $10.0 million, the Company shall commence an offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes
containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (an “Asset Sale Offer”) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount
of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a
pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled
“Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes. 
  
 8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in
denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof
called for redemption. 
  
 9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require
a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
  
 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes, subject to the provisions of the Notes for record
dates.

 11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Subsidiary
Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or
compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single
class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place
of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture
Act, to provide for the Issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the
Notes. 
  
 12. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include:
(i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest or Additional Interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption
(including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise, (iii) failure by the Company to comply with Section 4.15 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company for 30 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with Section 4.07, 4.09 or 4.10 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (v) failure by the Company for 60 days after notice to the
Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with certain other agreements in the Indenture, the Notes; (vi) default
under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company which default is caused by a failure to pay principal of such Indebtedness at the final maturity thereof or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express
maturity; (vii) certain final judgments for the payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days; (viii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; and (ix) except
as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor that is a
Significant Subsidiary or any Person acting on its behalf shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under such Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will
become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or

  

 A-5 

 
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest
on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the
Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default. 
  
 13. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its
Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 
  
 14. No Recourse
Against Others. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. 
  
 15. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the
manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 
  
 16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as
tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 
  
 17. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and
Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of February 10, 2005, among the Company, the Guarantors and the other parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of
Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, between the Company and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given
by the Company to the purchasers of any Additional Notes (collectively, the “Registration Rights Agreement”). 
  
 18. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP
numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice
of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. 
  
 19. Governing Law. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE NOTES WITHOUT GIVING 

  

 A-6 

 
EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

  
 20. Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of
Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings
arising out of or relating to the Notes or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such
proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether
within or without the State of New York. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that service of process upon such party at the address referred to in Section 13.02 of the Indenture, together with written notice of such service to such
party, shall be deemed effective service of process upon such party. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any and all rights to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes or the transactions contemplated

 WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the
Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. 
  
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for
the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: 
  
 1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 
  
 2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: 
  
 (a) Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally Guarantee to each Holder of a
Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee
hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and 
  

 F-1 

 (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such
other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed
or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. 
  
 (b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the
Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

in full force and effect. 
  
 (f) The
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. 
  

 F-2 

 (g) As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the
other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  
 (h) The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not
impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. 
  
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture, the Obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary created hereunder (and the Obligations of each other Guarantor) shall be junior and
subordinate to the Senior Guarantee of such Guarantor on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinate to Senior Debt of the Company. 
  
 (j) Pursuant to Section 11.03 of the Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed liabilities
that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under Article 11 of the Indenture, this new Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guarantee will not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  
 3. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY.
Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees to execute the Subsidiary Guarantee as provided by Section 11.04 of the Indenture and Exhibit E thereto and to recognize that the Subsidiary Guarantees shall remain in fall force and effect notwithstanding any
failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  
 4. GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS. 
  
 (a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person)
another corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless: 
  
 (i) subject to Sections 11.05 and 11.06 of the Indenture, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other
than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture and the Subsidiary
Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; and 
  

 F-3 

 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default
exists. 
  
 (b) In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the
Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had
been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company
and delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees bad been issued at the date of the execution hereof 
  
 (c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 and Section 11.06 of Article 11 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b)
above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. 
  
 5. RELEASES. 
  
 (a) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all to the capital stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that
is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of
such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such 

  

 F-4 

 
Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition
are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4. 10 of the Indenture. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order
to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee. 
  
 (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of
and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Indenture. 
  
 6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary,
as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of,
such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive
liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy. 
  
 7. GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO
APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 
  
 8. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each party hereto hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary
Guarantees or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought
