EXHIBIT A
TO PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD GRANT NOTICE
PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Performance Share Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Performance Share Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, ViewRay, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant the Target PSUs set forth in the Grant Notice under the Company’s Amended & Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).  Each vested PSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock (“Share”). Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and Grant Notice.
ARTICLE I.
GENERAL
1.1 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The PSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.
ARTICLE II.
GRANT OF PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD
2.1 Grant of PSUs. Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of PSUs under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Affiliates.  In consideration of the grant of the award of PSUs pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Affiliate.
2.2 Unsecured Obligation. Unless and until the PSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 and Schedule I hereof, the Participant will have no right to receive Common Stock under any such PSUs. Prior to actual settlement of any vested PSUs, such PSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.
2.3 Vesting. Subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 below, the PSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable on the Certification Date according to the vesting provisions of Schedule I attached to the Agreement (rounding down to the nearest whole Share).
2.4 Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, and provided that Participant has not experienced a Termination of Service prior to such Change in Control, the PSUs granted hereunder shall accelerate and vest immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, with the number of earned PSUs equal to the greater of (i) the number of Target PSUs granted hereunder; and (ii) the PSUs 

that would otherwise be earned under Schedule I based on the Company’s actual performance against the Performance Criteria set forth therein through the end of the fiscal quarter that immediately precedes the consummation of such Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control after the end of the Performance Period but prior to the Certification Date, and provided that Participant has not experienced a Termination of Service prior to such Change in Control, the PSUs granted hereunder shall accelerate and vest immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control based on the Company’s actual performance against the Performance Criteria set forth in Schedule I over the Performance Period.
2.5 Termination of Service.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Plan, the following provisions shall apply in the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service prior to settlement of the PSUs pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof.
(a)    Termination of Service without Cause.  Upon the Participant’s Termination of Service by the Company without Cause that occurs at least 18 months after the start of the Performance Period but prior to settlement of the PSUs pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, the Participant shall retain the PSUs granted hereunder and, subject to the Company’s achievement of the threshold performance level(s) set forth on Schedule I, shall vest on the Certification Date in a pro-rated portion of the PSUs that are earned in the event the threshold performance level is achieved pursuant to Schedule I (regardless of whether actual performance exceeds threshold). Such pro-rated portion shall be determined by multiplying the PSUs that are earned in the event the threshold performance level is achieved pursuant to Schedule I by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of continuous service the Participant completed with the Company during the Performance Period prior to his or her Termination of Service (rounded to the nearest whole month) and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Period.
(b)    Death; Disability; Retirement.  Upon the Participant’s Termination of Service as a result of death, Disability or Retirement that occurs at least 12 months after the start of the Performance Period but prior to settlement of the PSUs pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) shall retain the PSUs granted hereunder and shall vest in a pro-rated portion of the PSUs otherwise earned pursuant to Schedule I on the Certification Date. Such pro-rated portion shall be determined by multiplying the PSUs otherwise earned under Schedule I by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months of continuous service the Participant completed with the Company during the Performance Period prior to his or her Termination of Service (rounded to the nearest whole month) and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Performance Period.  As used herein “Disability” means the Participant’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to result in death or to be of continuous duration of 12 months or more. The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Disability has occurred for purposes of this Agreement.  As used herein, “Retirement” means (i) the Participant’s Termination of Service on a date that has been agreed by both the Company and the Employee in writing on or after the date on which he or she attains age 55 and has completed at least three (3) years of continuous service with the Company, or (ii) to the 
4

extent required to comply with local legal requirements, the Participant’s Termination of Service with the intention of ceasing to do any further work on a date that has been agreed by both the Company and the Employee in writing in advance in compliance with such local legal requirements.
(c)    Any Other Termination of Service.  Upon the Participant’s Termination of Service other than as set forth in Section 2.5(a) or 2.5(b) above prior to settlement of the PSUs pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, all PSUs granted hereunder shall automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the Participant shall have no further rights hereunder or with respect thereto. 
2.6 Issuance of Common Stock upon Vesting.
(a) As soon as administratively practicable following the Certification Date, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Certification Date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares (either by delivering one or more certificates for such Shares or by entering such Shares in book entry form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) equal to the number of PSUs subject to this Award that are earned and vest in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 12.4 of the Plan, the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with such Section.
(b) As set forth in Section 12.2 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the PSUs. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any new certificate representing Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative or enter such Shares in book entry form unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the PSUs or the issuance of Shares.
2.7 Conditions to Delivery of Shares. The Shares deliverable hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing Shares deliverable hereunder prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 12.4 of the Plan.
2.8 Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the PSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the PSUs and any Shares underlying the PSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of 
5

record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14.2 of the Plan.
ARTICLE III.
OTHER PROVISIONS
3.1 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Administrator or the Board shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the PSUs.
3.2 PSUs Not Transferable. The PSUs shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 12.3 of the Plan; provided, however, that this Section 3.2 notwithstanding, with the consent of the Administrator, the PSUs may be transferred to one or more Permitted Transferees, subject to and in accordance with Section 12.3 of the Plan.
3.3 Tax Consultation. The Participant understands that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences in connection with the PSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement (and the Shares issuable with respect thereto). The Participant represents that the Participant has consulted with any tax consultants the Participant deems advisable in connection with the PSUs and the issuance of Shares with respect thereto and that the Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.
3.4 Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the PSUs contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
3.5 Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the PSUs in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. The Participant acknowledges that the PSUs are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement and Section 14.2 of the Plan.
3.6 Notices. Any notice to be given under the terms of this Agreement to the Company shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal office, and any notice to be given to the Participant shall be addressed to the Participant at the Participant’s last address reflected on the Company’s records. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 3.6, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

3.7 Participant’s Representations. If the Shares issuable hereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws on an effective registration statement at the time of such issuance, the Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with such issuance, make such written representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and/or its counsel.
3.8 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
3.9 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.
3.10 Conformity to Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any other Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the PSUs are granted, only in such a manner as to conform to Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such Applicable Law.
3.11 Amendment, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall materially and adversely affect the PSUs in any material way without the prior written consent of the Participant.
3.12 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth in Section 3.2 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
3.13 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, then the Plan, the PSUs and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
3.14 Not a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates or interfere with or restrict in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or to terminate for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the services of the Participant’s at any time.
7

3.15 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto, if any) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof.
3.16 Section 409A. This Award is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that this Award (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate for this Award either to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
3.17 Limitation on Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the PSUs, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Common Stock as a general unsecured creditor with respect to PSUs, as and when payable hereunder.
3.18  Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. 
3.19  Foreign Jurisdictions. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and applied in such a manner as shall be necessary to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements of any jurisdiction to which the Participant is or becomes subject. The Company hereby delegates to each of the officers of the Company the authority for the interpretation of such matters, whose interpretations shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Participants and all individuals claiming any rights or benefits hereunder.

Schedule I

Between 0% and 300% of the Target PSUs set forth on the Grant Notice shall vest, if at all, based upon the Company’s Revenue CAGR (as defined below) over the Performance Period.  As soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period, the Administrator shall determine the achieved Revenue CAGR and the percentage of the Target RSUs set forth in the Grant Notice that vest shall be determined as follows: 

									
	Performance Level	Achieved Revenue CAGR	Percentage of 
Target RSUs that Vest

	Threshold	10%	50%
	Target	20%	100%
	Stretch	30%	200%
	Maximum	35%	300%

If the Revenue CAGR is below the Threshold level, no PSUs shall be earned.  If the Company’s Revenue CAGR is between the Threshold and Target, the Target and Stretch, or the Stretch and Maximum levels, the number of Target RSUs that vest will be determined by linear interpolation between the applicable points shown in the table above.  In no event shall more than 300% of the Target PSUs vest hereunder.

1The Company’s “Revenue CAGR” means the compound annual growth rate of Adjusted Revenue during the Performance Period, which shall be calculated using the following formula:

              
Where:
X =     Adjusted Revenue;
Y =    $57,000,000; and
N =    Three.
“Adjusted Revenue” means the revenue of the Company, as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Performance Period, after such adjustments thereto as 

    1    NTD: This Schedule to be closely reviewed and revised after discussions with finance and management team to ensure it accurately described how the calculation is expected to work.  Consider whether accounting treatment of awards would be effected by the broader bracketed adjustment language which gives a bit of flexibility to the Administrator here.

the Administrator deems appropriate in its sole discretion to exclude the effect of (i) accounting policy changes, legal or regulatory rule or law changes; (ii) the impact of any acquisitions or divestitures; (iii) the effect of any regulatory, legal or tax settlements; (iv) the effect of differences between actual foreign currency exchange rates and those assumed in the financial plans; and (v) any other extraordinary, unusual, and/or nonrecurring items.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to (i) any transaction (other than the acquisition of an Additional Offshore Unit or a committed construction contract with respect to an Additional Offshore Unit that is subject to a Qualified Services Contract), the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the specified Person, and (ii) the acquisition of an Additional Offshore Unit or to a committed construction contract with respect to an Additional Offshore Unit that is subject to a Qualified Services Contract, shall be made as follows:   (a)               the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA attributable to such Additional Offshore Unit shall be calculated in good faith

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the specified Person to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the specified Person may designate. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the specified Person as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions reasonably expected to result from any acquisition or merger.   “Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any specified Person for any period, the sum, without duplication, of:   (1)               the consolidated interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, whether paid or accrued, excluding amortization of deferred financing fees, debt issuance costs and commissions, fees and expenses and the expensing of any bridge, commitment or other financing fees, commissions, discounts, yield and other fees and charges (including any interest expense) related to any receivables facility but including original issue discount, non-cash interest payments, the interest component of any deferred payment obligations (classified as Indebtedness under this Indenture), the interest component of all payments associated with Capital Lease Obligations and net of the effect of all payments made or received pursuant to Hedging Obligations in respect of interest rates; plus   (2)               the consolidated interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries that was capitalized during such period; plus   (3)               all dividend payments or other distributions on the Disqualified Stock of such Person or the preferred equity of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than dividends or other distributions payable solely in Equity Interests of such Person (other than Disqualified Stock) or to such Person or a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person; less   18      (4)               interest income; less

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in connection with any action being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of (a) determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture that requires the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, (b) determining whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (c) testing availability under exceptions or baskets set forth in this Indenture, in each case at the option of the Company (any such option, an “LCT Election”), with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreements with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action shall be permitted under this Indenture shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (each, an “LCT Test Date”) and if, after such ratio and other provisions are measured on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable four- quarter reference period ending prior to the applicable LCT Test Date, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio and provisions, such ratio and provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratio or baskets are exceeded (or, with respect to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, not reached) as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Company or fluctuations in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such ratio and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded (or, with respect to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, not reached) as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratio and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are terminated or expire without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other Specified Transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreements with respect thereto have been terminated or expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may at any time withdraw any LCT Election, in which case any Indebtedness and Liens incurred in reliance on such LCT Election in accordance with the foregoing outstanding at such time, if any, shall be deemed to be incurred on the date of such withdrawal.   44      ARTICLE II  THE NOTES   Section 2.01       Form and Dating.   (a)               General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $1,000 (or if a PIK Payment has been made, minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof).   The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.   (b)               Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Increases and Decreases in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Increases and Decreases in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as

(c)               Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.   Section 2.02       Execution and Authentication.   At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual, facsimile or electronic image scan or other electronic signature.   If an Officer whose facsimile signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.   A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.   45        The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original or other issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes or PIK Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for original issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07.   The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection with a payment of PIK Interest (whether by an issuance of PIK Notes or by an increase in Global Notes reflecting a PIK Payment).   Section 2.03       Registrar and Paying Agent.   The Company will maintain an office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency in the City and State of New York where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will 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 will 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 shall act as such. The Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.   The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.   The Company initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office to act as the Registrar with respect to the Global Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office to act as Paying Agent, which office is located on the date hereof at 60 Livingston Ave., St. Paul, MN 55017.   Section 2.04       Paying Agent to Hold Money and PIK Notes in Trust.   The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money or PIK Notes, as the case may be, held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Additional Amounts, 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, or deliver all PIK Notes, held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money, or deliver all PIK Notes, held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) will have no further liability for the money or PIK Notes, as the case may be. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the

Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.   46      Section 2.05       Holder Lists.   The Trustee will 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. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.   Section 2.06       Transfer and Exchange.   (a)               Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:   (1)               the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;   (2)               the Company, at its option and subject to the procedures of the Depositary, determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and deliver a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or   (3)               there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and the Depositary notifies the Trustee of its decision to exchange the Global Notes for Definitive Notes.   Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in clauses (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.07 and Section 2.10. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or Section 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c).   (b)               Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:   47      (1)               Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).   (2)               All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers

Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(g).   48      (3)               Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:   (A)             if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and   (B)              if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof.   (4)               Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and:   (A)             the Registrar receives the following:   (i)                 if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or   (ii)              if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto,

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (A) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to subparagraph (A) above.   Notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this subparagraph (4), at the option of the Company, beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note shall automatically be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note upon the Company’s compliance in full with the Depositary’s “Procedures for the Mandatory Exchange of Rule 144A Securities for Unrestricted Securities” or “Procedures for the Mandatory Exchange of Regulation S Securities for Unrestricted Securities,” as applicable (or such replacement procedures as the Depositary shall put in place). Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(4), the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date of such transfer and a decrease and increase in the principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Note and the Unrestricted Global Note, respectively, equal to the principal amount of beneficial interests transferred. Following any such transfer pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(4) of all of the beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note, such Restricted Global Note shall be cancelled.   Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.   (c)               Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes.   (1)               Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes to Restricted Definitive Notes.

Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(1) shall bear the Private Placement Legend and shall be subject to all restrictions on transfer contained therein.   (2)               Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. A holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note may exchange such beneficial interest for an Unrestricted Definitive Note or may transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note only if:   (A)             the Registrar receives the following:   (i)                 if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(b) thereof; or   (ii)              if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (4) thereof;   51      and, in each such case set forth in this Section 2.06(c)(2), if the Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.   (3)               Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.06(b)(2), the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(g), and the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(3) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(3) will not bear the Private Placement Legend.   (d)               Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests.   (1)               Restricted Definitive Notes to Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes.

(2)               Global Note Legend. Each Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:   “THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.01 AND SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (“DTC”), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”   57      (g)               Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for beneficial interests in another Global Note, Definitive Notes, or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.   (h)               General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.   (1)               To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.   (2)               No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.04).   (3)               The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.   (4)               All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.   58

(6)               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 any payment on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.   (7)               The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.   (8)               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 or electronic image scan.   (9)               The Trustee and the Agents shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Note or any beneficial interest therein (including any transfers between or among Participants, members or Beneficial Owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.   (10)           None of the Trustee, any Agent or any of their respective agents shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of Beneficial Ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.   59      None of the Trustee or any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Global Note, a member of, or a Participant in, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Participant, member, Beneficial Owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of Beneficial Owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee and each Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, Participants and any Beneficial Owners.   Section 2.07       Replacement Notes.   If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, or if the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will 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.

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 interests in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof with respect to Notes owned by the Company or a Subsidiary, 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(a).   For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under any Note shall include any increase in the outstanding principal amount in Global Notes as the result of payment of PIK Interest.   If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.   60        If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.   If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on a redemption date or other maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will 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 and its Subsidiaries will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will 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, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes will 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 will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will 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, they will 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. The Company will 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 will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the 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 in writing of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers.   Section 2.14       PIK Interest.   On any interest payment date, with respect to a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee, will increase the principal amount of such Global Note by an amount equal to the PIK Interest payable, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar, for the relevant interest period on the principal amount of such Global Note, to the credit of the Holders on the relevant record date and an adjustment will be made on the register maintained with the Registrar with respect to such Global Note to reflect such increase and thereafter shall constitute the outstanding principal amount of the Notes for all purposes of this Indenture and the other Note Documents. On any interest payment date on which the Company makes a payment of PIK Interest by issuing Definitive Notes (a “PIK Note”) under this Indenture having the same terms as the Notes, the principal amount of any such PIK Note issued to any Holder, for the relevant interest period as of the relevant record date for such interest payment date, will be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar. In connection with any PIK Payment, the Company is entitled, without the consent of the Holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under Sections 4.09 and 4.12), to increase the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or to issue the PIK Notes under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, following the increase in the principal amount of any Global Note as a result of a PIK Payment, such Global Note will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment at the rate applicable to the Notes. Any PIK Notes issued in certificated form will be dated as of the applicable interest payment date and will bear interest from and after such date at the rate applicable to the Notes.   ARTICLE III  REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT   Section 3.01       Notices to Trustee.   If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 or Section 3.10, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least two Business Days prior to the giving of a notice of redemption, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:   62      (1)               the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;   (2)               the redemption date;   (3)               the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed;   (4)               the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination); and   (5)               applicable CUSIP Numbers.   Section 3.02       Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.   If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption as follows: 

 

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1382298/000110465921111052/tm2126505d1_ex4-1.htm[11/3/2021 3:30:53 PM]   (1)               if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange (and the Company shall notify the Trustee of any such listing), in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or   (2)               if the Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis;   provided, however, that Notes held in the form of Global Notes shall be selected in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of DTC.   In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.   The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $1,000 (or if a PIK Payment has been made, minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof); provided, that no Notes of $1,000 (or if a PIK Payment has been made, $1.00) or less shall be redeemed in part. 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.   (a)               Notices of redemption (other than a notice of redemption given pursuant to Section 3.10) will be given at least 15 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed in accordance with Section 12.01, except that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII or Article XI.   63      The notice will identify the Notes (including CUSIP Numbers) to be redeemed and will state:   (1)               the redemption date;   (2)               the redemption price (if then determined and otherwise the method of determination);   (3)               if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;   (4)               the name and address of the Paying Agent;   (5)               that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;   (6)               that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;   (7)               the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;   (8)               that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and   (9)               if in connection with any conditional notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.07(f), any condition to the related redemption.   At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s names and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days prior to the date a notice of redemption is to be given, a written request signed by an Officer of the Company that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Any notice of redemption, Asset Sale Offer or Change of Control Offer made in connection with a related transaction or event (including an Equity Offering, contribution, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction but excluding any notice of redemption given pursuant to Section 3.10) may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion or occurrence of the related transaction or event, as the case may be. The Company may redeem Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions in this Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions will have different redemption dates. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was given, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Company any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.   64      Section 3.04       Effect of Notice of Redemption.   Once notice of redemption is given in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price, except as provided for in Section 3.07(f). The notice, if given in accordance with Section 3.03, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.   Section 3.05       Deposit of Redemption Price.   No later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will 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 Amounts, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed upon written request of the Company.   If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest 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 is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.   65      Section 3.06       Notes Redeemed in Part.   Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered, provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $1,000 (or if a PIK Payment has been made, in a principal amount of $1.00 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess of $1.00). It is understood that,

Section 3.07       Optional Redemption.   (a)               On any one or more occasions prior to August 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes or PIK Notes issued after the Issue Date), upon giving notice as provided in Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to 111.50% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), but in an aggregate principal amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:   (1)               at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes or PIK Notes issued after the Issue Date but excluding Notes held by the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (unless all of such Notes are redeemed); and   (2)               the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.   (b)               On any one or more occasions on or after August 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon prior notice as provided in Section 3.03, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12- month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date):   Year   Percentage   2024    105.750% 2025 and thereafter    100.000%   Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price as herein provided, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.   66      (c)               On any one or more occasions prior to August 15, 2024, the Company may also redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon prior notice as provided in Section 3.03, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).   (d)               If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer to purchase all of the Notes and the Company (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer to purchase all of the Notes in lieu of the Company as described below) purchase all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer to purchase all of the Notes described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the price offered to each other Holder in the Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or other tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).   (e)               Except pursuant to this Section 3.07 or Section 3.10, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to August 15, 2024. The Company may, however, at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.   (f)                Any notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction.

Section 3.08       Mandatory Redemption.   The Company will not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.   Section 3.09       Additional Amounts.   (a)               All payments made by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge of a similar nature (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (“Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or any other jurisdiction in which the Company or applicable Guarantor (including any successor entity) is organized, incorporated, engaged in business or is otherwise resident or treated as resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made (including, without limitation, the jurisdiction of each Paying Agent) (each a “Specified Tax Jurisdiction”), will at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Company or applicable Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (or the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received in respect of such payments (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount that would have been received in respect of such payments if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:   67      (1)               any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Notes having any present or former connection with the Specified Tax Jurisdiction (other than the mere acquisition, ownership, holding, enforcement or receipt of payment in respect of the Notes or the Note Guarantees);   (2)               any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, capital gains, personal property or similar Tax;   (3)               any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, the Notes or the Note Guarantees;   (4)               any Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Notes, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, to complete, execute and deliver to the Company any form or document to the extent applicable to such Holder or Beneficial Owner that may be required by law (including any applicable tax treaty) or by reason of administration of such law and which is reasonably requested in writing by the Company or the applicable Guarantor at least 90 days before such withholding or deduction will be payable to be delivered to the Company in order to enable the Company or the applicable Guarantor to make payments on the Notes or the Note Guarantees without deduction or withholding for Taxes, or with deduction or withholding of a lesser amount, which form or document will be delivered within 60 days of a written request therefor by the Company;   (5)               any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the beneficiary of the payment having presented a Note for payment (in cases in which presentation is required) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);   68      (6)               any Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Company or any Guarantor to the Holder if

(b)               If the Company or any Guarantor becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and Paying Agent at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Company will notify the Trustee and Paying Agent promptly thereafter but in no event later than two Business Days prior to the date of payment) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount so payable. The Officer’s Certificate must also set forth any other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee and Paying Agent will be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Company will provide the Trustee and Paying Agent with documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Paying Agent evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.   (c)               The Company or applicable Guarantor will make all withholdings and deductions required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority on a timely basis in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable, the Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Trustee and Paying Agent with an official receipt or, if official receipts are not obtainable, other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Paying Agent evidencing the payment of the Taxes so withheld or deducted. Upon written request, copies of those receipts or other documentation, as the case may be, will be made available by the Trustee and Paying Agent to the Holders of the Notes.   (d)               Whenever in this Indenture there is referenced, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or any other amount payable under, or with respect to, the Notes, such reference will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this heading to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.   69      (e)               The Company or applicable Guarantor will indemnify a Holder or Beneficial Owner, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes paid by such Holder or Beneficial Owner to a governmental authority of a Specified Tax Jurisdiction, on or with respect to any payment by on or account of any obligation of the Company or Guarantor to withhold or deduct an amount on account of Taxes for which the Company or Guarantor would have been obliged to pay Additional Amounts hereunder and any penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Holder will be conclusive absent manifest error.   (f)                The Company or applicable Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp, court, issue, registration, value added, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and any other liabilities and reasonable expenses related thereto) that arise in any Specified Tax Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the Note Guarantees, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereof, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees (each such tax, a “Note Issuance Tax”), and the Company or such Guarantor will indemnify the Holders or Beneficial Owners for any such Note Issuance Taxes paid by such Holders or Beneficial Owners.   (g)               The obligations described in this Section 3.09 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company or any Guarantor is organized or any political subdivision or authority or agency thereof or therein.

(a)               The Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, at any time in whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice (which notice will be irrevocable) by the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to, but not including, the applicable redemption date and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and which will become due on the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), in the event that the Company determines in good faith that the Company or the applicable Guarantor has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to the Notes or Note Guarantees, Additional Amounts and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Company or such Guarantor (including making payment through a paying agent located in another jurisdiction), as a result of:   (1)               a change in or an amendment to the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of any Specified Tax Jurisdiction affecting taxation, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of this Indenture; or   70      (2)               any change in or amendment to any official position of a taxing authority in any Specified Tax Jurisdiction regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of this Indenture.   (b)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company or such Guarantor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes or the Note Guarantees were then due. Before the Company gives the notice of redemption of the Notes as described above, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and Paying Agent (a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Company to so redeem have occurred and (b) an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing satisfactory to the Trustee and Paying Agent that the Company or the applicable Guarantor has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of the circumstances referred to in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 3.10(a).   (c)               The Trustee and Paying Agent will accept and will be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Officer’s Certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described above, in which case they will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.   ARTICLE IV  COVENANTS   Section 4.01       Payment of Notes.   The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and cash interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Except as otherwise provided for in this Indenture, interest shall be payable as PIK Interest. Principal, premium, if any, and cash interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, holds as of 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, then due. PIK Interest will be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee has received (i) a written order, pursuant to Section 2.02, to increase the balance of any Global Note to reflect such PIK Interest or (ii) PIK Notes duly executed by the Company together with a written order, pursuant to Section 2.02, of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company requesting the authentication of such PIK Notes by the Trustee. In connection with the payment of PIK Interest in respect of the Notes, the Company will, without the consent of Holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under Sections 4.09 and 4.12), either increase the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or issue PIK Notes under this Indenture.   71

The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.   Section 4.02       Maintenance of Office or Agency.   The Company will maintain in the City and State of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or the Paying Agent or an Affiliate of the Trustee or the Paying Agent) where Notes may be surrendered for payment, and the Company will maintain in the United States an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or the Registrar or an Affiliate of the Trustee or the Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee; provided that the Trustee shall not serve as an agent or office for the purpose of service of process on behalf of the Company.   The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the City and State of New York where Notes may be surrendered for payment. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.   Section 4.03       Reports.   (a)               Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, the Company will provide the Trustee and Holders with copies of, without cost to each Holder:   (1)               within 75 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal year, reports substantially in the form that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Form 6-K (or any successor form) containing, whether or not required, the Company’s unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements (including a balance sheet and statement of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flow) and a Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (an “MD&A”) (or equivalent disclosure) for and as of the end of such fiscal quarter (with comparable financial statements for the corresponding fiscal quarter of the immediately preceding fiscal year);   72      (2)               within the time period required under the rules of the SEC for the filing of Form 20-F (or any successor form) for each fiscal year, an annual report substantially in the form that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Form 20-F (or any successor form) containing the information required to be contained therein (including the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, a report thereon by the Company’s certified independent accountants and an MD&A) for such fiscal year; and   (3)               at or prior to such times as would be required to be filed or furnished to the SEC if the Company was then a “foreign private issuer” subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (whether or not the Company is then subject to such requirements), all such other reports and information that the Company would have been required to file or furnish pursuant thereto.

The Company will not incur, and the Company will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior priority basis.   For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (19) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity on the date of its incurrence and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one of the above clauses, although the Company may divide and classify an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one or more of the types of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and may later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. The accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred equity as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in the form of additional shares or units of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the application of IFRS 9) will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity for purposes of this Section 4.09. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.   87      For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the establishment of the facility or instrument under which such Indebtedness was incurred; provided, however, that if such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars, covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced, except to the extent that (i) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess, as appropriate, will be determined on the date such refinancing Indebtedness is incurred.   The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:   (1)               the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;   (2)               the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and   (3)               in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:   (A)             the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and   (B)              the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.   If any Indebtedness is incurred, or Disqualified Stock or preferred equity is issued, in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, and any refinancing thereof would cause the percentage of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated Net

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:   (1)               the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractual agreement to such Asset Sale by the parties thereto) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and   (2)               at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received from such Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the Issue Date, on a cumulative basis, by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Additional Assets, or any combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:   (A)             any liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (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 and as a result of which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is released from further liability;   (B)              any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;   (C)              any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale; provided that the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, taken together with the Fair Market Value at the time of receipt of all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) less the amount of Net Proceeds previously realized in cash from prior Designated Non-cash Consideration, is less than the greater of (x) 3.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) and (y) $120.0 million; and   (D)             any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in clause (C), (E) or (F) of Section 4.10(b)(1).   89      (b)           Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may:   (1)               apply such Net Proceeds, at its option:   (A)             in the case of any Net Proceeds received from Asset Sales of Collateral, to repay, redeem, retire, defease, replace, refinance or repurchase any Priority Lien Debt, provided that if the Company or any of its Restricted

(2)               enter into a binding commitment to apply the Net Proceeds pursuant to clause (C), (D), (E) or (F) of Section 4.10(b)(1); provided, that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until (i) with respect to any binding commitment to purchase, acquire or construct Additional Offshore Units and any related Ready for Sea Costs with such Net Proceeds, the later of (x) the 365th day from the receipt thereof from the Asset Sale and (y) two years from the date any such binding commitment is made and (ii) with respect to any other binding commitment to apply Net Proceeds pursuant to such clauses, the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is consummated and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period.   Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.   (c)               Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” If at any time the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, or on any earlier date if the Company so elects, the Company will make an offer to all Holders of Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”) 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, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.   91      (d)               The Company will 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 provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.   (e)               Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been purchased in the Asset Sale Offer by the Company. The Trustee (or a Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price for all Notes of such Holder that were so purchased.   (f)                Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note duly completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a notice of withdrawal setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.   (g)               Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be given at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder in accordance with Section 12.01. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be purchased.   (h)               A new Note in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Note purchased in part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the purchase date, unless the Company defaults in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof purchased.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of such compliance.   (b)               On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:   (1)               accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (in a minimum principal amount of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $1,000 (or if a PIK Payment has been made, in a minimum principal amount of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof)) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not properly withdrawn;   (2)               deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased by the Company; and   (3)               deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes accepted for payment.

(e)               The Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to this Section 4.14 may be waived or modified or terminated with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control.   Section 4.15       Future Subsidiary Guarantees.   If, after the Issue Date, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company other than a Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company under a Credit Facility, then such Restricted Subsidiary will become a Subsidiary Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel within 30 days of the date on which it guaranteed such Indebtedness. The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit D hereto.   96      Section 4.16       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. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be either (i) an Investment made as of the time of the designation that will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 or (ii) a Permitted Investment, as determined by the Company. A designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary 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 of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.   Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Company will be in default of such covenant.   The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) (x) the Company could incur such Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test described under Section 4.09(a), or (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such designation, in each case on a pro forma basis taking into account such designation and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.   Section 4.17       Covenant Termination.   If at any time (a) the Notes are assigned an Investment Grade Rating, (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture and (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying to the foregoing provisions of this sentence, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.16 and clause (4) of Section 5.01. However, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will remain subject to all other provisions hereof.   ARTICLE V  SUCCESSORS

The Company will not, directly or indirectly: (i) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity) or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) in one or more related transactions to another Person, unless:   (1)               either:   (A)             the Company is the surviving entity; or   (B)           the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized or existing under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction;   97      (2)               the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;   (3)               immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;   (4)               the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (A) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) or (B) have had a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the successor entity and its Restricted Subsidiaries not less than the actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; and   (5)               the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or sale, and the execution of the supplemental indenture (if any) have been complied with.   In addition, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties or assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.   For purposes of the foregoing, entry by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company into one or more leases, charters, pool agreements or operations or service contracts with respect to any Offshore Units will be deemed not to constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition subject to this covenant.   This Section 5.01 will not apply to any consolidation, amalgamation, merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of properties or assets between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. Clauses (3) and (4) of this Section 5.01 will not apply to any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company (1) with or into one of its Restricted Subsidiaries for any purpose or (2) with or into an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reorganizing the Company under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia.   Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, the Company may reorganize as any other form of entity provided that:   (1)               the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger, sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) of the Company into a form of entity other than a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Marshall Islands;   (2)               the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization (the “Successor Company”) is an entity organized or existing under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction;

Upon any consolidation, amalgamation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01.

(8)               a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:   (A)             is for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Company made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company in an involuntary case;   (B)              appoints a custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Company made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or   (C)              orders the liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that taken as a whole (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Company made available to the Holders) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;   and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; and

Section 6.02       Acceleration.   In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01, with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Company made available to the Holders), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by giving written notice thereof to the Company (with a copy to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders).   Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.   In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting Payment Default on the Notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders of Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.   101      If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date as a result of an Event of Default or by operation of law or a Premium Event occurs, the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Notes subject to such Premium Event shall be due and payable. If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default or by operation of law or any Premium Event occurs prior to August 15, 2025, the amount of principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Notes that becomes due and payable shall equal the redemption price applicable with respect to an optional redemption of the Notes, in effect on the date of such acceleration, Premium Event or the date on which the Notes otherwise become due as if such acceleration or other circumstance 

 

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1382298/000110465921111052/tm2126505d1_ex4-1.htm[11/3/2021 3:30:53 PM] causing the Notes to become due were an optional redemption of the Notes accelerated or becoming due (the “Redemption Premium”). In any such case, the Redemption Premium shall constitute part of the Note Obligations, and constitutes liquidated damages, not unmatured interest or a penalty, as the actual amount of damages to the holders as a result of the relevant Premium Event would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Redemption Premium is provided by mutual agreement of the Company and the Guarantors and the holders of the Notes as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such actual lost profits and other actual damages of such holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of any Premium Event, the Redemption Premium shall be automatically and immediately due and payable as though any Notes subject to a Premium Event were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Note Obligations secured by the Collateral. The Redemption Premium shall also be automatically and immediately due and payable if the Notes are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR OTHER LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING REDEMPTION PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH EVENTS, ANY RESCISSION OF SUCH ACCELERATION OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY EVENT. The Company and the Guarantors expressly agree (to the fullest extent it and they may lawfully do so) that with respect to the Redemption Premium payable under the terms of the Notes: (i) the Redemption Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business parties, ably represented by counsel; (ii) the Redemption Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the holders of the Notes and the Company and the Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Redemption Premium; and (iv) the Company and the Guarantors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company and the Guarantors expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the Redemption Premium as described in this Indenture is a material inducement to the holders of the Notes to purchase the Notes.   102      Section 6.03       Other Remedies.   If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.   The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.   Section 6.04       Waiver of Past Defaults.   Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes (except with respect to amounts that have become due and payable solely as a result of an acceleration that has been rescinded). Upon any such rescission or 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 aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee 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 (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.   103      Section 6.06       Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.   Section 6.07       Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (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(1) or (2) 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 Amounts, 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.   104      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 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 and documented compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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 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.   Subject in all respects to the Collateral Trust Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, or, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money in the

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders 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 and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.   105      ARTICLE VII  TRUSTEE   Section 7.01       Duties of Trustee.   (a)               If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, that a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.   (b)               Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:   (1)               the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and   (2)               in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, with respect to certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein).   (c)               The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:   (1)               this subsection (c) does not limit the effect of subsection (b) of this Section 7.01;   (2)               the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and   (3)               the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.04 and Section 6.05.

(e)               No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.   (f)                The Trustee will not be liable for interest on or the investment of any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.   Section 7.02       Rights of Trustee.   (a)               The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.   (b)               Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.   (c)               The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct, negligence or failure to act of any agent appointed with due care.   (d)               The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.   (e)               Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company will be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company and such Officer’s name appears on the certificate described in Section 7.02(m).   (f)                The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request of any Holder of Notes, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.   (g)               Other than the covenants set forth in Section 4.01, the Trustee shall have no duty to monitor, inquire as to or ascertain compliance with the performance of the Company’s covenants in this Indenture.   (h)               The permissive right of the Trustee to act hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.   (i)                 The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety or to expend or risk its own funds in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.   107      (j)                 In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.   (k)               The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.   (l)                 The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each Agent, Custodian and other

(m)             The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.   (n)               The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; pandemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunction of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action; it being understood that the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

Section 7.03       Individual Rights of Trustee.   The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the TIA), after a Default has occurred and is continuing, it must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days or (ii) resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 and Section 7.11.   108      Section 7.04       Trustee’s Disclaimer.   The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture. The Trustee will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. The Trustee will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes, the Offering Memorandum or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.   Section 7.05       Notice of Defaults.   If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing of which the Trustee is deemed to have knowledge in accordance with Section 7.02(k), the Trustee will give Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it is deemed to have such knowledge. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium or Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.   Section 7.06       Intentionally Omitted.   Section 7.07       Compensation and Indemnity.   (a)               The Company will pay to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable and documented disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable and documented compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and

(b)               The Company and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and/or the exercise or enforcement of its rights hereunder, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, 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 own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, will pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.   109      (c)               The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the termination for any reason of this Indenture, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.   (d)               To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will 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 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.   (e)               When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) 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.   Section 7.08       Replacement of Trustee.   (a)               A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.   (b)               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 aggregate 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:   (1)               the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;   (2)            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;   (3)               a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or   (4)               the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.   (c)               If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.   (d)               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 aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.   110

(f)                A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will give notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will 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. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.   Section 7.09       Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.   If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including its obligations hereunder) to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act will be the successor Trustee. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.   Section 7.10       Eligibility; Disqualification.   There will 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 $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.   This Indenture will 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 the 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.   111      ARTICLE VIII LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE   Section 8.01       Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.   The Company may at any time, at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.   Section 8.02       Legal Defeasance and Discharge.   Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03.   112      Section 8.03       Covenant Defeasance.   Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their respective obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16 and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01 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 will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes to the extent permitted by IFRS). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will 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 with such covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Section 6.01(3) through Section 6.01(5) will not constitute Events of Default.   Section 8.04       Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.   In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03:   (1)               the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a U.S. nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of deposit, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption;   (2)               in the case of an election under Section 8.02, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) confirming that:   (A)             the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

Section 8.05       Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.   Subject to Section 8.06, 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 in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the 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 and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.   114      The Company will 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 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.   Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the 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 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(1)), 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 the Company.

Section 8.07       Reinstatement.   If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, 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 and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will 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.   115      ARTICLE IX AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER   Section 9.01       Without Consent of Holders.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 4.10 and 4.14), the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the security documents with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, Additional Notes and PIK Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees or the security documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes and PIK Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02. However, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non- consenting Holder):   (1)              reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;   (2)              reduce the principal of or extend the fixed maturity of any Note; provided that any amendment to the minimum or maximum notice period required or permitted to be provided under this Indenture may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes;   (3)              reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including Additional Amounts, or premium on any Note;   (4)              waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);   118      (5)              make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;   (6)              make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or impair the rights of Holders of Notes to receive   payments of principal of, premium on, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Notes (other than as permitted by clause (7) below);   (7)              waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (for the avoidance of doubt, a payment required by Sections 4.10 or 4.14 is not a redemption payment);   (8)              release any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or   (9)              make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions or the provision of this clause (9).   In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any security document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes (other than in accordance with any Note Document) will require the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.   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 as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.   After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will give the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.   119      Section 9.03       Revocation and Effect of Consents.   Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder 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 or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms, it thereafter binds every Holder.   Section 9.04       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 will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.   Section 9.05       Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.   The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, benefits, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, 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 X  NOTE GUARANTEES   Section 10.01   Note Guarantees.   (a)            Subject to this Article X, the Parent Guarantor and each Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor, by execution of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture in accordance with Section 4.15, 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:   (1)              the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at stated 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   120      

 

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1382298/000110465921111052/tm2126505d1_ex4-1.htm[11/3/2021 3:30:53 PM] (2)              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 will 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.   (b)            The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are 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 or the Trustee 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 Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.   (c)            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, each Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.   (d)            Each Guarantor agrees that it will 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, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by each of the Guarantors for the purpose of its Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees.   121      Section 10.02   Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.   (a)            A Subsidiary Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:   (1)              immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;   (2)              either:   (A)            such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person acquiring the assets in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if not the Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of that Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or   (B)             the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; and   (3)            the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction complies with this Indenture.   (b)            In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition that is subject to clause (2)(A) above and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each Guarantor confirms, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of 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 Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that 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 X, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.   Section 10.04   Releases of Guarantees.   (a)            The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor and its other obligations hereunder will be automatically released:   (1)              in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale, transfer or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10;   122      (2)              upon the release or discharge of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Facility that gave rise to the requirement to provide such a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15;   (3)              in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor after which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale, transfer or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10;   (4)              if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;   (5)              upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction or series of transactions that does not violate the terms of this Indenture;   (6)               upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article VIII or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article XI;   (7)              upon the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of all other Indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money (other than intercompany debt); or   (8)               as described under Article IX.   (b)            The Parent Guarantee will be automatically released upon any of the following:   (1)               the Company ceasing to be a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor in a transaction not prohibited by the Indenture;   (2)               the Company’s transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to, or merger, consolidation or amalgamation with, an entity that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01 and such transferee entity assumes the Company’s obligations under this Indenture;   (3)              the Company’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option as described under Article VIII or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Article XI;   (4)              (i) upon the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Parent Guarantor with and into the Company, (ii) upon the transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to the Company or (iii) upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Company,

(c)            Any Guarantor not released from its obligations as provided in this Section 10.04 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article X.   ARTICLE XI  SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE   Section 11.01   Satisfaction and Discharge.   This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes and as otherwise specified in this Article XI), 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 been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company 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 delivery of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of 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 U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a U.S. nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of public accountants, 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 of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes to the date of Stated Maturity or redemption; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited therefor shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption;   124      (2)              the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by it under this Indenture; and   (3)              the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at Stated Maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.   In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with.   Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (1)(B) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 8.06 and 11.02 will survive such satisfaction and discharge. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 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 and Additional Amounts, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.   If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 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, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium or Additional Amounts, 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.   125      ARTICLE XII  MISCELLANEOUS   Section 12.01   Notices.

Section 13.02   Collateral Requirements.   (a)            The obligations of Company with respect to the Notes, the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Note Guarantees and all other Priority Lien Obligations which become subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement now or in the future will be secured by Liens on the Collateral granted to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties and Junior Lien Secured Parties with the priority as among them described in the Collateral Trust Agreement.   (b)            Subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Notes shall be secured on a pari passu basis with any future Priority Lien Obligations by first-priority security interests (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral, now owned or hereafter acquired (in each case, other than Excluded Property).   Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to take any actions under the Collateral Documents with respect to the granting, creation or perfection of security interests in the Collateral other than actions relating to or arising in connection with (collectively, the “Agreed Security Principles”):   (1)       the filing of UCC-1 financing statements and UCC-3 continuation statements;   (2)       the Local Law Creation and Perfection Steps;   131      (3)       the granting to the Collateral Trustee of possession over debt instruments with a value in excess of $2,500,000 individually or $10,000,000 in the aggregate; and   (4)       the execution and delivery of account control agreements, securities account control agreements, and commodities account control agreements in respect of deposit accounts, securities accounts and commodities accounts,   provided, however, other than as set forth above in respect of the Local Law Creation and Perfection Steps and any actions with respect to the creation and perfection of security interests in Collateral described in clause (4) above, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to take any actions with respect to the creation or perfection of security interests on any Collateral that are within or subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States.

The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to the Trustee an executed intercompany subordination agreement within sixty (60) days after the Issue Date and, if the Company fails to do so, thereafter continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such actions unless efforts would be futile.   Section 13.03   After-Acquired Property.   Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Agreed Security Principles, upon the acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor after the Issue Date of any assets (other than Excluded Property), that are of a type that are required to constitute part of the Collateral, or any such asset no longer constitutes Excluded Property or any first-tier Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Material First-Tier Restricted Subsidiary, and such assets are not automatically subject to a first-priority perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Trustee (or, in the case of a Material First-Tier Restricted Subsidiary, the pledge in the Capital Stock of such Person is not granted and perfected pursuant to the Local Law Creation and Perfection Steps), the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts within sixty (60) days of the date of acquisition of any such Collateral (or of the date on which such asset ceases to constitute Excluded Property) to execute and deliver the necessary Collateral Documents in order to grant to the Collateral Trustee a first-priority lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on such assets, and after such sixty (60) day period continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver such Collateral Documents unless such efforts would be futile. With regard to any asset constituting Collateral, the Company or Guarantor shall execute and deliver such security document on substantially the same terms as the Collateral Documents covering Collateral owned by the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors on the Issue Date reasonably required to create a perfected security interest in such Collateral.   132        Section 13.04   Impairment of Security Interest.   (a)               The Company will not (i) take or omit to take any action which would materially and adversely affect or impair the Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and any future Priority Lien Debt with respect to the Collateral (which shall be without prejudice to the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s right to dispose of, or grant Liens on, the Collateral as otherwise permitted hereunder), (ii) grant to any Person, or permit any Person to retain (other than the Collateral Trustee), any Liens in the Collateral, other than Permitted Liens or (iii) enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person in a manner that conflicts with this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. Each of the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors will, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments as necessary, or as the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee reasonably requests, to more fully or accurately describe the assets and property intended to be Collateral or the Obligations intended to be secured by the Collateral Documents.   Section 13.05   Intentionally Omitted.   Section 13.06   Collateral Trust Agreement.   This Indenture, including this Article XIII, and the provisions of each other Collateral Document are subject to the terms, conditions and benefits set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor consents to, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms therewith. Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Notes (a) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Notes and each other holder of Priority Lien Obligations to enter into the Collateral Trust Agreement as Collateral Trustee on behalf of such holders of Priority Lien Obligations and to take such actions in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement. In addition, each Holder authorizes and instructs the Collateral Trustee to enter into any amendments or joinders to the Collateral Trust Agreement, without the consent of any Holder or the Trustee, to add additional Indebtedness as Priority Lien Obligations and add other parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) holding such Indebtedness thereto.   133

(a)               The Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral will no longer secure the Notes or other Obligations outstanding under this Indenture (but not necessarily any other Priority Lien Debt), and the right of the Holders to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Trustee’s Liens on the Collateral will automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person (other than notice of such release to the Collateral Trustee, but the failure to deliver such notice shall not affect such release) terminate and be discharged:   (1)       in whole or in part, as applicable, as to all or any portion of property subject to such Liens which has been taken by eminent domain, condemnation or other similar circumstances or which has become (and only to the extent it continues to constitute) Excluded Property;   (2)       in whole upon:              (i) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth in Article XI; or              (ii) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance set forth in Article VIII;   (3)       in part, as to any property constituting Collateral that (a) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor) in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture or the Collateral Documents at the time of such sale, transfer or disposition or (b) is owned or at any time acquired by a Subsidiary Guarantor that has been released from its Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture, concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantee or (c) solely with respect to the release of a Subsidiary Guarantee under Section 10.02, 10.03 or 10.04, the Capital Stock of the released Subsidiary Guarantor, concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantee;   (4)       in whole or in part, as applicable, with the consent of Holders of (i) 66-2/3% or more in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes if releasing all or substantially all Collateral and (ii) 50% or more in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes if releasing less than all or substantially all Collateral (in each case, including without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Notes);   (5)       in whole or in part, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Collateral Document or the Collateral Trust Agreement;   (6)       to the extent any lease is Collateral, upon termination of such lease;   (7)       with respect to Collateral that is Capital Stock, upon the dissolution or liquidation of the issuer of such Capital Stock that is not prohibited by this Indenture; or   134      (8)       as described in Section 9.02.   (b)       Each of the releases described in clauses (1) through (7) of this Section 13.07 (other than clauses (4) and (5) (but only, in the case of clause (5), to the extent that such consent of the Holders is required by the applicable provisions of the security document or the Collateral Trust Agreement)) shall be effected by the Collateral Trustee without the consent of the Holders or any action on the part of the Trustee. The Company will furnish to the Collateral Trustee, prior to each proposed release of such Collateral pursuant to the security document and this Indenture, an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such transaction and the disposition of the proceeds thereof will comply with the terms of the Collateral Documents and this Indenture, as applicable.   (c)       Upon compliance by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent set forth above, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, at the written request and sole expense of the Company, shall promptly cause to be released and reconveyed to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, the released Collateral.

U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Trustee      By:     Authorized Signatory     A - 1     [Back of Note] 11.50% Senior Secured PIK Notes due 2026   [Insert the Global Note Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture] [Insert the Private Placement Legend, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture]   (1)       INTEREST. Altera Infrastructure Holdings L.L.C., a limited liability company formed under the Laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Company”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 11.50% per annum from August 27, 2021 until maturity. The Company will pay 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 August 27, 2021 until the principal hereof is due. The first Interest Payment Date shall be February 15, 2022. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest 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.   Interest will be payable by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Note or by issuing PIK Notes (“PIK Interest”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the payment of accrued interest in connection with any redemption of the Notes in accordance with Article III of the Indenture, repurchase of the Notes in accordance with Section 4.10 or 4.14 of the Indenture or repayment of the Notes (including at Stated Maturity) shall be made solely in the form of cash interest.   (2)       METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay cash interest, if any, on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Amounts, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders 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. Payments in respect of Notes represented by Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor Depositary. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest), upon the presentation and, if the final presentation, surrender thereof at the office or agency of the Paying Agent in the City and State of New York, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made in the case of a Holder of at least $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or a Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). Such payment will 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. PIK Interest will be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee has received (a) a written order, pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Indenture, from the Company signed by an Officer of the Company to increase the balance of any Global Note to reflect such PIK Interest or (b) PIK Notes duly executed by the Company together with a written order, pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Indenture, of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company requesting the authentication of such PIK Notes by the Trustee. In connection with the payment of PIK Interest in respect of the Notes, the Company will, without the consent of Holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under Sections 4.09 or 4.12 of the Indenture), either increase the outstanding principal amount of the Global Notes or issue PIK Notes under the Indenture.
