Section 2.01. Contribution and Sale of Transferred Assets.

 

(a)   Subject to the terms of this Agreement, on  October 18, 2011 (the “Initial Transfer Date”), Cinedigm agrees to, and as of the Initial Transfer Date does hereby, transfer, assign, convey, and contribute (the “Cinedigm Contribution”) to the Seller,  without recourse (except for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth herein), the Assets set forth on

 

 

  

 

  

 

 Part A of Schedule 2.01. Cinedigm shall have no obligation to contribute any assets to the Seller after the Initial Transfer Date.

 

(b)   Subject to the terms of this Agreement, on  the Initial Transfer Date, the Parent agrees to, and as of the Initial Transfer Date does hereby, transfer, assign, convey, and contribute (the “Parent Contribution”) to the Seller $1,010,000 in cash and $990,000 in prepaid fees and, without recourse (except for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth herein), the Assets set forth on Part B of Schedule 2.01, (together with the Assets set forth on Part A of Schedule 2.01, the “Transferred Assets”) all as a capital contribution to Seller in consideration of the issuance of membership interests in the Seller, and the Seller agrees to accept such cash and Assets, and to credit to the Parent’s capital account represented by such membership interests an amount equal to the sum of (i) $2,000,000.00 plus (ii) the fair market value of the Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements (to the extent such Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements relate to Digital Systems financed under the Credit Agreement and the CHG Lease Facility Documents) set forth on Part B of Schedule 2.01, as determined by the Managers of the Seller. The Parent shall have no obligation to contribute any assets to the Seller after the Initial Transfer Date. If the Parent shall elect to make additional capital contributions (of Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements or otherwise) after the Initial Transfer Date, such contributions shall be credited to the Parent’s capital account represented by such membership interests in an amount equal to the fair market value of such contributed Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements or other assets on the date of such contribution.

 

(c)   Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (i) on the Initial Transfer Date, the Seller agrees to, and as of the Initial Transfer Date does, hereby (A) transfer, assign, convey, and contribute (the “Seller Contribution”, and together with Cinedigm and Parent Contribution, the “Contributions”) to the Purchaser $1,010,000 in cash and $990,000 in prepaid fees as a capital contribution to Purchaser in consideration of the issuance of membership interests in the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to accept such cash and prepaid fees and (B) sell, transfer, assign and convey (the “Sale”) without recourse (except for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth herein) to the Purchaser the Transferred Assets set forth on Part C of Schedule 2.01 and the Purchaser agrees to purchase such Transferred Assets from the Seller in consideration of the Purchaser’s agreement to borrow the amount set forth on Part D of Schedule 2.01 under the Credit Agreement and lend such amount to CHG for the purchase of Digital Systems in accordance with the CDF2 Loan Documents and the CHG Lease Facility Documents (together with any consideration delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.01(b), the “Sale Consideration”) and (ii) from time to time on any Business Day subsequent to the Initial Transfer Date designated by Seller and Purchaser (each such Business Day, together with the Initial Transfer Date, a “Sale Date”), the Seller may sell, transfer, assign and convey without recourse (except for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth herein) to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser may purchase rights and interests to additional Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements, Exhibitor Agreements or Supply Agreements in consideration of the Purchaser’s agreement to borrow additional funds under the Credit Agreement and lend such funds to CHG for the purchase of Digital Systems in accordance with the CDF2 Loan Documents and the CHG Lease Facility Documents.

 

(d)   The Seller agrees to assume from Cinedigm and the Parent all of  Cinedigm’s and the Parent’s obligations under the Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements

 

 

  

2

  

 

 contributed to the Seller hereunder and perform all of Cinedigm’s and the Parent’s obligations thereunder to the extent such Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements relate to Digital Systems financed under the Credit Agreement and the CHG Lease Facility Documents.

 

(e)   The Purchaser agrees to (i) assume from the Seller all of the Seller’s obligations under the Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements which the Seller has assumed from Cinedigm and the Parent, the Exhibitor Agreements and the Supply Agreements relating to the Digital Systems and perform all of the Seller’s obligations thereunder, and (ii) assume all other contracts and liabilities relating to the Transferred Assets and perform all obligations of the Seller under such Phase 2 Agreements (all of the foregoing referred to in clause (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Assumed Obligations”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser does not assume and shall have no obligation to perform any liabilities of the Seller under the Phase 2 Agreements relating to periods prior to the Initial Transfer Date (collectively, the “Non-Assumed Obligations”).

 

(f)   As between the Seller, on one hand, and Cinedigm or the Parent, on the other hand, the Seller shall not have any obligation to pay or perform any obligations with respect to the Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements relating to periods prior to the Initial Transfer Date. However, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Seller may be required to pay or perform such obligations by the counterparty to any such Digital Cinema Deployment Agreement that has not released Cinedigm or the Parent from its obligations under such Digital Cinema Deployment Agreement.  If the Seller pays any amount with respect to such Digital Cinema Deployment Agreement, each of Cinedigm and the Parent hereby agrees to pay the Seller in cash such amount promptly upon receiving written notice thereof from the Seller.

 

(g)   As between the Purchaser, on one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, the Purchaser shall not have any obligation to pay or perform any Non-Assumed Obligations with respect to the Transferred Assets. However the parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser may be required to pay or perform such obligations by the counterparty to any Phase 2 Agreement that has not released Seller from its obligations under such Phase 2 Agreement.  If the Purchaser pays any amount with respect to such Non-Assumed Obligations, the Seller hereby agrees to pay the Purchaser in cash such amount promptly upon receiving written notice thereof from the Purchaser.

 

(h)   As between the Seller, on one hand, and Cinedigm or the Parent, on the other hand, neither Cinedigm nor the Parent shall have any obligation to pay or perform any obligations with respect to the Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements to the extent contributed to the Seller hereunder relating to periods on or after the Initial Transfer Date.  However, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Cinedigm or the Parent may be required to pay or perform such obligations by the counterparty to any such Digital Cinema Deployment Agreement that has not released Cinedigm or the Parent from its obligations under such Digital Cinema Deployment Agreement.  If Cinedigm or the Parent pays any amount with respect to such obligations, the Seller hereby agrees to pay to the Parent in cash such amount promptly upon receiving written notice thereof from Cinedigm or the Parent.

 

(i)   As between the Purchaser, on one hand, and the Seller and Cinedigm or the Seller and the Parent on the other hand, none of the Seller, Cinedigm or the Parent shall have 

 

  

3

  

 

any obligation to pay or perform any Assumed Obligations with respect to the Transferred Assets.  However, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Seller, Cinedigm or the Parent may be required to pay or perform such obligations by the counterparty to any Phase 2 Agreement that has not released the Seller, Cinedigm or the Parent from its obligations under such Phase 2 Agreement.  If the Seller, Cinedigm or the Parent pays any amount with respect to such Assumed Obligations, the Purchaser hereby agrees to pay to the Seller, Cinedigm or the Parent, as the case may be, in cash such amount set forth in the Cash Expense Report (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and at such times as permitted pursuant to Sections 4.4(a) and 4.5(a) of the Multiparty Agreement, as applicable.  To the extent sufficient funds are not then so permitted to be paid, payment shall be deferred, without interest, until such funds are permitted to be paid in accordance with Sections 4.4(a) and 4.5(a) of the Multiparty Agreement.  All receipts of Transferred Assets that the Seller, Cinedigm or the Parent may receive after the Initial Transfer Date shall be paid within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof by the Seller, Cinedigm or the Parent to an account (the “Designated Account”) specified in writing to the Seller, Cinedigm and the Parent by the Purchaser.

 

(j)   It is the intention of Cinedigm, the Parent and the Seller that the Contributions will constitute the immediate and absolute and irrevocable contribution, transfer and assignment from Cinedigm to Seller and Parent to the Seller, as the case may be of all of Cinedigm’s and Parent’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets subject to the Contributions.  The Seller will be entitled to all incidents, benefits and risks of ownership of such Transferred Assets, including, without limitation, the right to sell, exploit and otherwise transfer and dispose of such Transferred Assets.

 

(k)   It is the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that the Sale will constitute the immediate and absolute and irrevocable sale, transfer and assignment from the Seller to the Purchaser of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Assets subject to the Sale.  The Purchaser will be entitled to all incidents, benefits and risks of ownership of such Transferred Assets, including, without limitation, the sole right to sell, exploit and otherwise transfer and dispose of such Transferred Assets.

 

(l)   In connection with the Sale and the Contributions, each of the Seller, Cinedigm and the Parent shall, as applicable, (i) relinquish all power to sell, pledge, assign, transfer, license, or otherwise exploit or dispose of any Transferred Assets, (ii) have no further obligation to the Purchaser with respect to any such Transferred Assets (except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.01 and Article VIII hereof) and (iii) have no right or obligation under this Agreement, by implication or otherwise, to repurchase from the Seller, in the case of Cinedigm and the Parent, and the Purchaser, in the case of the Seller, any such Transferred Assets or to rescind or otherwise effect retroactively any purchase of any such Transferred Assets after the Initial Transfer Date or a subsequent Sale Date, as the case may be.  The Sale Consideration may not be altered or otherwise changed after delivery thereof from the Purchaser to the Seller.

 

(m)   Cinedigm and the Parent hereby grant to the Seller an irrevocable power of attorney (coupled with an interest) to take any and all steps in Cinedigm’s or the Parent’s name necessary or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of the Seller to collect all amounts due to the Seller in connection with the rights in the Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements contributed hereunder, including enforcing such rights and exercising all rights and remedies in

 

 

  

4

  

 

 respect thereof.  Cinedigm or the Parent shall from time to time take whatever steps are reasonably requested in writing by the Seller in order to enforce such rights in the Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements.

 

(n)   The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser an irrevocable power of attorney (coupled with an interest) to take any and all steps in the Seller’s name necessary or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser or the Administrative Servicer (as defined in the Credit Agreement), as the case may be, to collect all amounts due to the Seller in connection with the Transferred Assets, including enforcing the Phase 2 Agreements and exercising all rights and remedies in respect thereof.  The Seller shall from time to time take whatever steps are reasonably requested in writing by the Purchaser in order to enforce its rights in the Transferred Assets.

 

(o)   Neither the Seller nor the Parent intends the Seller Contribution to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, a loan from the Seller to the Parent.  It is, further, not the intention of Cinedigm, the Parent or the Seller that the conveyance of the Transferred Assets by Cinedigm or the Parent be deemed a grant of a security interest in such Transferred Assets by Cinedigm or the Parent to the Seller to secure a debt or obligation of Cinedigm or the Parent.  However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Agreement, any portion of such Transferred Assets is considered to be the property of Cinedigm’s or the Parent’s estate, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and (ii) the conveyance by Cinedigm or the Parent provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by Cinedigm or the Parent to the Seller of, and each of Cinedigm and the Parent hereby grants to the Seller, a security interest in and to all of Cinedigm’s or the Parent’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Transferred Assets, whether then or thereafter existing or created, to secure (A) the rights of the Seller thereunder and (B) the payment and performance of Cinedigm’s or the Parent’s obligations (whether monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement.

 

(p)   Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser intends the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Purchaser to the Seller.  It is, further, not the intention of the Purchaser or the Seller that the conveyance of the Transferred Assets by the Seller be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or obligation of the Seller.  However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties to this Agreement, any portion of the Transferred Assets is considered to be the property of the Seller’s estate, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and (ii) the conveyance by the Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of, and the Seller thereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest in and to all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Assets, whether then or thereafter existing or created, to secure (A) the rights of the Purchaser thereunder and (B) the payment and performance of the Seller’s obligations (whether monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement.

 

Section 2.02. Sale Consideration.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to (a) provide Sale Consideration for the Transferred Assets sold hereunder on

the Initial Transfer Date and (b) provide the Sale Consideration for additional assets on each Sale Date after the Initial Transfer Date.

The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The
Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.
Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of
$2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms and provisions contained in
the Notes shall 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.

     Upon the Completion Date, the terms and provision of the Guarantees will constitute, and shall
expressly be made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, Parent and the Guarantors and the
Trustee, by their execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture substantially in the form of
Exhibit E hereto, shall expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound hereby. Any
reference to a Guarantor herein shall be deemed to be a reference thereto solely from and after the
date of its execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture hereto in the form of Exhibit E or
Exhibit F hereto.

     (b) Global Notes. The Notes shall be issued initially in global form and shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon
and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in
definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the
Global Note Legend thereon and without the Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note
attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be
specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent 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 shall be made by the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the
Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

     (c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(c) shall only apply to Global Notes deposited
with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Participants and Indirect Participants shall
have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the
Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian for the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the
Depositary shall be

-30-

 

treated by the Company, the Trustee and any Agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute
owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any Agent of the Company or the Trustee from
giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the
Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the
exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

     (a) One Officer of the Company shall sign the Notes by manual or facsimile signature.

     (b) If an
Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is
authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

     (c) A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

     (d) The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer (an
“Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue.

     (e) 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.

     (f) The Company may issue Additional Notes from time to time after the offering of the Initial
Notes. The Initial Notes, the Exchange Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under

without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.

     (a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be
presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of
their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Company shall 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. Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
(including the Company) may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

     (b) The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary
with respect to the Global Notes.

     (c) The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent.

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.05. Holder Lists.

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

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.

     (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole
except 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 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary, (2)
the Company in its sole discretion 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 shall have occurred and be continuing an
Event of Default with respect to such Global Note. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding
events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in denominations of $2,000 or
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and 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
Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. 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 2.10
hereof, 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), (c) or (f) hereof.

     (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and
exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in

interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to
those set forth herein to the

-32-

 

extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also
shall require compliance with either clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or
more of the other following clauses, as applicable:

     (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial
interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery

that prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance 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 (other than an Initial Purchaser). 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)(i).

     (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.
In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject

to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to
credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount
equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant
account to be credited with such increase or (B)(1) a written order from a Participant or an
Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures
directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the
beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the
Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such
Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (B)(1)
above. Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with Section

satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of
Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global
Notes. 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

compliance with the Securities Act.

     (iii) Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes.
A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes
delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note. Upon receipt of a request to
register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Unrestricted Definitive Notes
pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

     (f) Exchange Offer. Upon the occurrence of the Exchange Offer in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order
in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee shall authenticate (A) one or more Unrestricted Global

issuance of such Notes, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable
Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and mail or deliver to the Persons designated by the Holders of Restricted
Definitive Notes so accepted Unrestricted Definitive Notes in the appropriate principal amount. Any
Notes that remain outstanding after the

-39-

 

consummation of the Exchange Offer, and Exchange Notes issued in connection with the Exchange
Offer, shall be treated as a single class of securities under this Indenture.

     (g) Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Notes and Definitive
Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions
of this Indenture.

          (i) Private Placement Legend.

SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY,

EXPIRATION OF THE APPLICABLE HOLDING PERIOD WITH RESPECT TO
RESTRICTED SECURITIES SET FORTH IN RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE IS
AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE
ISSUER SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS EITHER OF THEM MAY REASONABLY
REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE

PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED
STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT.”

     (B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note issued pursuant to
clauses (b)(iv), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) or (f) to this
Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall not
bear the Private Placement Legend.

     (ii) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall 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 (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH

DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF

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.”

     (h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests
in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note
has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall
be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. 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 shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by
the Trustee or by the Depositary at the

-41-

 

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 shall be increased accordingly and an
endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction
of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

     (i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

     (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and, upon
receipt of (a) an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 and (b) an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent and covenants
provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of the Notes have been
complied with, and that such Notes will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes
and Definitive Notes upon the Company’s order or at the Registrar’s request.

     (ii) No service charge shall 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, 4.12, 4.18 and 9.05 hereof).

     (iii) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall 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.

     (iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Company shall be required (A) to issue, to register the
transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the
close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note
so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and
the next succeeding interest payment date.

     (v) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any
Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the
absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest 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.

     (vi) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

     (vii) 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.

     (viii) The Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into a letter of representation with the
Depository in the form provided by the Company and to act in accordance with such letter. Neither
the Trustee nor any Agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not
taken by the Depositary.

-42-

 

     (ix) Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Company and Trustee against any liability
that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any
provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws.

     (x) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Participant or Indirect
Participant or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts
or omissions, 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
or Indirect Participant or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any
notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, 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 under
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 customary procedures
of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Participants or Indirect Participants.

     (xi) The Trustee 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 interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among
Participants or Indirect Participants 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.

     (j) Restrictions on Exchange of Regulation S Global Note. Beneficial ownership interests in
the Regulation S Global Notes shall not be exchangeable for interests in the Rule 144A Global
Notes, Unrestricted Global Notes, Restricted Definitive Notes or Unrestricted Definitive Notes
until the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period and then only upon certification that
beneficial ownership interests in such Regulation S Global Note are owned by or being transferred
to either non U.S. Persons or U.S. Persons who purchased such interests in a transaction that did
not require registration under the Securities Act. The written certificate delivered pursuant to
the applicable provisions in Section 2.06(b)-(e) in the form provided therein shall be deemed
satisfactory for purposes of this clause with respect to the relevant exchange of interests.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.

     If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue
and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if
the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond
must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to
protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of
them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

     Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all
of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued
hereunder.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes.

     (a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except
for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest
in a Global

-43-

 

Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this
Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease
to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; provided,
however, that Notes held by Parent or its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be outstanding for
purposes of Section 3.07(b) hereof.

     (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide
purchaser.

     (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

     (d) If the Paying Agent (other than Parent, a Subsidiary of Parent or an Affiliate of any
thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on
that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and
shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09. Treasury Notes.

     In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been
pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledge establishes to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waive its consent with respect to the
Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor of the Notes or any Affiliate of the
Company or of such other obligor.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

     Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary
Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the
Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

     Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to
all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of the Notes under
this Indenture.

Section 2.11. Cancellation.

     The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee upon direction by the Company and no one else shall
cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or
cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the
Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the
Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

-44-

 

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest.

     If the Company defaults in a payment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes,
it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest
payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record
date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note
and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special
record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days
prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special
record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and
at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the
special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13. CUSIP or ISIN Numbers.

     The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use),
and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience
to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a
redemption 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 shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers.

Section 2.14. Additional Interest.

     If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
and paragraph 1 of the Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect
stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such
interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a
certificate or instruction or direction from the Holders in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable. The
foregoing shall not prejudice the rights of the Holders with respect to their entitlement to
Additional Interest as otherwise set forth in this Indenture or the Notes and pursuing any action
against the Company directly or otherwise directing the Trustee to take any such action in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes. If the Company has paid Additional
Interest directly to the persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a
certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

ARTICLE 3

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 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days (unless a shorter notice
shall be agreed to by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’
Certificate complying with the applicable provisions of Section 12.05 setting forth (i) the clause
of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the
principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

-45-

 

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 shall select the
Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the
principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are
not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee
considers fair and appropriate and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository
to the extent the Notes are Global Notes. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular
Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously
called for redemption.

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

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

     Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to
each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption
notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in
connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture.

     The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed, the CUSIP number, and shall state:

     (a) the redemption date;

     (b) the redemption price or if the redemption is made pursuant to Section 3.07(b) a
calculation of the redemption price;

     (c) 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 shall be issued upon cancellation of the original
Note;

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

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

     (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest and
Additional Interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date;

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

-46-

 

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

     At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s
name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee,
at least 45 days, or such shorter period allowed by the Trustee, prior to the redemption date, an
Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information
to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be
agreed to by the Trustee).

     Any inadvertent defect in the notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to give
notice, to any Holder selected for redemption will not impair or affect the validity of the
redemption of any other Note redeemed in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

     Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for
redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A
notice of redemption may not be conditional.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

     On or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any redemption date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and
accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date.

     If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the
redemption date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or
the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record
date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest
shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such
record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest and
Additional Interest, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption date until
such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal,
in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part.

     Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the
Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the
Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

     (a) Except as set forth in clause (b) and (c) of this Section 3.07, the Notes will not be
redeemable at the option of the Company prior to February 1, 2014. On or after February 1, 2014,
the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes after giving the required notice under this
Indenture. The Notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if
any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on
the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 1 of the years indicated below:

     (b) At any time and from time to time prior to February 1, 2014, the Company may redeem up to
35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption
price equal to 108.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the
relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) with the net
cash proceeds of any Qualified Equity Offering; provided, however, that:

     (1) after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date (excluding Notes held by Parent and its
Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

     (2) any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Qualified Equity Offering
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice.

     (c) At any time and from time to time prior to February 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all or
a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice under this Indenture
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the
Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the
redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date).

     (d) Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the applicable
redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption on the applicable redemption date.

Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption.

     (a) The Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
However, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to offer to repurchase the Notes
pursuant to Sections 3.10, 4.12 and 4.18.

     (b) In addition, Company and its Subsidiaries may acquire Notes by means other than a
redemption or required repurchase whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated
transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such
acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

Section 3.09. Offer To Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

     (a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof, the Company shall be required to
commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it shall follow the
procedures specified below.

     (b) The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its
commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law

pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been
tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so
purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

     (c) If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related
interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a
Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no Additional Interest shall
be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

     (d) Upon the commencement of the Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send, by first class
mail, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all
instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset
Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the
terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

     (i) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section
4.12 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;

     (ii) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

     (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;

     (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment
pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest and Additional Interest, if any,
after the Purchase Date;

     (v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect
to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof;

     (vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be
required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the
reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if
appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three
days before the Purchase Date;

     (vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the depositary
or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer
Period, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the
principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

     (viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the
Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such
adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of
$2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof shall be purchased); and

-49-

 

     (ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred
by book-entry transfer) representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased.

     (e) On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for
payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof
tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all
Notes tendered, and (2) shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such
Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of
this Section 3.09.

     (f) The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but
in any case not later than five Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each
tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and
accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the
Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note
to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any
Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by Company to the Holder thereof. The
Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

     Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09 or Section 4.12 hereof, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06
hereof.

Section 3.10. Special Redemption.

     In the event that the Completion Date has not occurred on or prior to the Date of
Determination, the Escrow Issuer will be required to redeem the Notes on the date that is three (3)
Business Days after the Date of Determination (the “Special Redemption Date”), at a cash redemption
price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to the Special Redemption Date. Upon the receipt of written instruction from the Escrow Issuer
and an Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee will send a notice of such Special Redemption on behalf of
the Escrow Issuer to the Holders of the Notes on the Date of Determination if the Completion Date
has not occurred on or prior to such Date of Determination.

or reports are publicly available.

     (b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be for

entitled to conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate).

its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the
signing officers with a view to determining whether Parent and its Subsidiaries have kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to
each such officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge Parent and its
Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this
Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions
and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred,
describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what
action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his
or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on

notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice and the
lapse of time would become a Default or an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company
is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05. Taxes.

     Parent shall pay, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to
delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested
in good faith and by

-52-

 

appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes; provided that neither Parent nor any such Restricted
Subsidiary shall be required to pay or discharge, or cause to be paid or discharged, any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in
accordance with IFRS.

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

     Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so)
that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and Parent
and the Restricted Subsidiaries (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such
law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07. Corporate Existence.

     Subject to Article 5 hereof, Parent shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate,
partnership or other existence of each of the Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the
respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Parent or any
such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of
Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to
preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of
any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Parent and the Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to
the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.08. Payments for Consent.

     Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or
otherwise, to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent,
waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such
consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or
agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred
Stock.

     (a) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness
(including Acquired Debt), and Parent shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit
any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that
Parent may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and the
Company and any of the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue
preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for Parent’s most recently ended four full
fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the
date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred
stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, deter-

-53-

 

mined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the Net Proceeds therefrom
including to refinance other Indebtedness), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or
the preferred stock or Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of
such four-quarter period.

     (b) Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of
Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings, purchase money obligations, industrial
development or similar bonds, or tax-advantaged governmental or quasi-governmental financing,
including, without limitation, the sale and leaseback arrangements described under clause (5)
under the exclusions set forth under the definition of “Asset Sales” in each case incurred for
the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design,
development, construction, installation or improvement (including at any point subsequent to
the purchase) of real or personal property, plant or equipment used in the business of Parent
or the business of such Restricted Subsidiary (whether through the direct acquisition or
otherwise of such assets or the acquisition of Equity Interests of any Person owning such
assets), in an aggregate principal amount, including all Indebtedness incurred to refund,
refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (iv), not to exceed
the greater of (x) $200 million and (y) 3.0% of Total Assets, at any time outstanding;

     (v) the incurrence by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of Permitted Refinancing

and (xvi) of this Section 4.09(b);

     (vi) the incurrence by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of intercompany Indebtedness
owed Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that:

     (A) if the Company is the obligor on any such Indebtedness owed to any Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated
to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the
Notes;

     (B) if a Guarantor is the obligor on any such Indebtedness owed to any Restricted
Subsidiary that is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness is ex-

-54-

 

pressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with
respect to such Guarantor’s Guarantee; and

     (C) (1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any
such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary and
(2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness (other than the creation of a
Permitted Lien upon such intercompany Indebtedness to a Person that is not either Parent or
a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such
Indebtedness by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not
permitted by this clause (vi);

     (vii) the incurrence by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of Hedging Obligations or entry
into derivative transactions, in each case, in the normal course of business and so long as such

government reimbursement or other programs or other similar requirements;

     (xi) the incurrence by Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from
Parent’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ agreements providing for indemnification, contribution,
earnout, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in
connection with the sale of goods or acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or Capital
Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all
such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by Parent and the
Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such acquisition or disposition;

     (xii) the incurrence by Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from
the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument
inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided,
however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence;

of business;

     (xvi) the incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Acquired Debt;
provided that (1) such Indebtedness existed prior to the consummation of the related
acquisition and was not created in contemplation thereof and (2) to the extent the aggregate
amount of Indebtedness incurred in reliance on this clause (xvi) following the Issue Date
exceeds $50 million, then on a pro forma basis, either (A) the Company would 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) hereof or (B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be
greater than immediately prior to such transactions;

     (xvii) Indebtedness of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary constituting reimbursement
obligations with respect to letters of credit or trade Guarantees issued in the ordinary
course of business to the extent that such letters of credit or trade Guarantees are not
drawn upon or, if drawn upon, to the extent such drawing is reimbursed no later than the 30
days following receipt by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary of a demand for reimbursement;

     (xviii) Guarantees in the ordinary course of business of the obligations of suppliers,

incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause
(xxi), not to exceed $350 million.

     (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item
of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt
described in clauses (i) through (xxi) of Section 4.09(b) as of the date of incurrence thereof or
is entitled to be incurred pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4.09, the Company shall, in its
sole discretion, (x) at the time the proposed Indebtedness is incurred, classify all or a portion
of that item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence under either clause (a) of this Section
4.09 or under such category of Permitted Debt, as the case may be, (y) reclassify at a later date
all or a portion of that or any other item of Indebtedness as being or having been incurred in any
manner that complies with this Section 4.09 (so long as the Indebtedness being reclassified could
have been incurred under Section 4.09(a) or under such category of Permitted Debt on the date of
its incurrence) and (z) elect to comply with this Section 4.09 and the applicable definitions in
any order. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original

-56-

 

issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness
with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in
accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional
shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of
Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in
each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Parent’s
Fixed Charges as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum
amount of Indebtedness that Parent or the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this
Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange
rates or currency values.

     (d) The Company shall not incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate or junior
in right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Company and subordinate or junior in right of payment
to the Notes; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the Company will be deemed to be
contractually subordinated in right of payment solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured by a
junior Lien or by virtue of being structurally subordinated. No Guarantor shall incur any
Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor
and subordinate or junior in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Guarantee; provided, however, that
no Indebtedness of a Guarantor will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment
solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured by a junior Lien.

     (e) Parent shall not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to incur any Indebtedness other than
Non-Recourse Debt; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness ceases to be Non-Recourse Debt
of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such event shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by
the obligors of such Indebtedness.

Section 4.10. Restricted Payments.

     Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly:

     (a) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of
Parent’s or any Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any
payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Parent or any Restricted
Subsidiary) or to the direct or indirect holders of Parent’s or any Restricted Subsidiaries’
Equity Interests in their capacity as such (in each case other than dividends or
distributions payable in Parent’s Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) or to
Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary);

     (b) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including,
without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Parent or any of
the Restricted Subsidiaries) any of Parent’s or the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests
(in each case other than any of the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests owned by Parent
or another Restricted Subsidiary or for consideration consisting solely of Parent’s Equity
Interests other than Disqualified Stock);

     (c) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, repurchase, defease or
otherwise acquire or retire for value any of Parent’s or the Restricted Subsidiaries’
Subordinated Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness owed to Parent or any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries), except (i) a payment of interest or principal at the Stated
Maturity thereof, (ii) the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of any such Indebtedness
in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final
maturity, in each case, due within

-57-

 

     one year of the date of such purchase, repurchase or other acquisition, or (iii) for
consideration consisting solely of Equity Interests of Parent other than Disqualified Stock;
or

          (d) make any Restricted Investment

(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (a) through (d) above being
collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect
to such Restricted Payment:

     (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a
consequence of such Restricted Payment;

     (b) Parent would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma
effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable
four-quarter period, have been 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); and

     (c) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted
Payments made by Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (excluding
Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (3)(i), (5), (6), (10), (11) and (12) of the next
paragraph), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

     (i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of Parent for the period (taken as one
accounting period) from the beginning of the first full fiscal quarter of Parent
commencing immediately prior to the Issue Date to the end of Parent’s most recently
ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time
of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a
deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus

     (ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds or the fair value (as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of property or assets received by
Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary since the date following the Issue Date as a
contribution to the common equity capital of Parent or from the issue or sale of
Equity Interests of Parent (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale
of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt
securities of Parent that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity
Interests (other than Equity Interests or Disqualified Stock or debt securities sold
to a Subsidiary of Parent and other than proceeds from the BBVA ‘B’ Share Transaction),
together with the aggregate net cash and Cash Equivalents received by Parent or any
Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such conversion or exchange, plus

     (iii) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue
Date is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the proceeds
realized from the sale of such Restricted Investment and proceeds representing the
return of the capital with respect to such Restricted Investment, in each case to
Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, less the cost of the disposition of such
Restricted Investment, plus

     (iv) to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a
Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the portion (proportionate to Parent’s
interest in such Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets
of the Unrestricted

-58-

 

Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted
Subsidiary; plus

     (v) 50% of any dividends received by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from any
Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent Parent’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s
Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was a Restricted Investment, and to the
extent such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of
Parent for such period.

     So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby (except with
respect to clauses (1), (4), (5), (7), (9) and (10) below), the preceding provisions will not
prohibit:

     (1) the payment of any dividend (or other distribution) or the consummation of any
irrevocable redemption within 90 days after the date of declaration of the dividend (or other
distribution) or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of
declaration or notice the dividend (or other distribution) payment or redemption would have
complied with the provisions hereof;

     (2) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash
proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to any Restricted Subsidiary) of,
Parent’s Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent
contribution of common equity capital to Parent; provided that the amount of any such net
cash proceeds that are utilized to make any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from
clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph;

     (3) the purchase, defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement
of Subordinated Indebtedness of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary with (i) the net cash
proceeds from an incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or (ii) in exchange for, or
out of the proceeds of a substantially concurrent Qualified Equity Offering;

     (4) in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary, the payment of dividends (or in the case of
any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) to the holders of its
Capital Stock on a pro rata basis;

     (5) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options,
warrants or other convertible securities if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the
exercise price thereof and repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the
withholding of a portion of the Equity Interests granted or awarded to an employee to pay for
the taxes payable by such employee upon such grant or award, or the vesting thereof, in an
amount not to exceed $20 million;

     (6) cash payments, in lieu of issuance of fractional shares in connection with the
exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity
Interests of Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary;

     (7) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any
Subordinated Indebtedness following a Change of Control or Asset Sale, as applicable, after
the Company shall have complied with the Section 4.18 and Section 4.12, as applicable,
including the payment of the applicable purchase price;

-59-

 

     (8) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders
of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of Parent or any preferred stock of any
Restricted Subsidiary of Parent issued on or after the Issue Date in accordance with the

     (9) payments made in accordance with the Merger Agreement as disclosed under the section
entitled “Use of Proceeds” in the Offering Memorandum;

     (10) to the extent constituting a Restricted Payment, the BBVA ‘B’ Share Transaction;

     (11) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition of the Equity Interests of Parent
or any Restricted Subsidiary from Persons who are, or were formerly, employees, officers and
directors of Parent and its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, heirs and executors; provided
that the aggregate amount of all such repurchases pursuant to this clause (11) shall not
exceed $5 million in any twelve month period; and

     (12) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount since the Issue Date not to exceed
$75 million.

     The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the
date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s), property or securities proposed to be transferred
or issued by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted
Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this
Section 4.10 will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose resolutions with
respect thereto will be delivered to the Trustee. The Board of Director’s determination must be
based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of
national standing if the fair market value exceeds $25 million.

Section 4.11. Liens.

     (a) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness,
Attributable Debt or trade payables on any property, asset, or any proceeds therefrom (“Primary
Lien”), now owned or hereafter acquired except Permitted Liens, unless:

     (i) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related
Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property (including Capital Stock of a Restricted
Subsidiary) or assets that are senior in priority to such Liens; and

     (ii) in the case of Liens securing Senior Debt, the Notes and related Guarantees are
equally and ratably secured by a Lien on such property (including Capital Stock of a
Restricted Subsidiary) or assets.

     (b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11(a)
shall automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged upon the release and discharge
of the Primary Lien, without any further action on the part of any Person.

Section 4.12. Asset Sales.

     (a) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate
an Asset Sale unless:

     (i) Parent (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at
the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold,
leased, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of; and

     (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by Parent or such
Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets, or a
combination thereof.

     (b) For purposes of this Section 4.12, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

     (i) any liabilities of Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, as shown on Parent’s or
such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet (other than contingent liabilities and
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee), that are
assumed by the transferee of any such assets and with respect to which Parent or such
Restricted Subsidiary is released from further liability;

     (ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by Parent or any such
Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by Parent or such Restricted
Subsidiary into cash within 365 days of the consummation of such Asset Sale (subject to
ordinary settlement periods), to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

     (iii) any Voting Stock or assets referred to in clauses (c)(ii) and (c)(iii) of this
Section 4.12; and

     (iv) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by Parent or such Restricted
Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good
faith by Parent’s Board of Directors), taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash
Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iv) that is at such time outstanding, not to
exceed an amount equal to the greater of (x) $80 million and (y) 2.0% of Total Assets at the
time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the fair market value of
each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and
without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

     (c) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, Parent or such
Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds at its option:

     (i) to repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under any Credit Facility;

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

     (iii) to make any capital expenditures or to acquire other long-term assets that are used or
useful in a Permitted Business; or

     (iv) any combination of the foregoing.

-61-

 

     In the case of each of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, the entry into a definitive
agreement to acquire such assets within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such
agreement so long as Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such agreement with the good
faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days
of the date of such agreement and such Net Proceeds are actually so applied within such period.

     Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce
revolving credit borrowings under the Credit Agreement or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any
manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

     (d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section
4.12(c) will constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50
million, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of
other Indebtedness of Parent or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries that is pari passu with the
Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth herein with respect to offers to purchase or
redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and
such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer
price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and shall be payable
in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may
use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the
aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness validly and properly tendered
and not withdrawn pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Trustee will select the Notes and the Company or the trustee, agent or other similar party with
respect to such other pari passu Indebtedness will select such Indebtedness to be purchased as
described in Article 3 hereof. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess
Proceeds will be reset at zero.

     (e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and
any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the
extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale
provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under this Section
4.12 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.13. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries.

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

     (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock
to Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, or with respect to any other interest or
participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to Parent or any
other Restricted Subsidiary;

     (b) make any loans or advances to Parent or any other Restricted Subsidiary;

     (c) transfer any of its properties or assets to Parent or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

-62-

 

          (d) guarantee Parent’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Indebtedness.

     However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing
under or by reason of:

     (i) the Credit Agreement and any other agreements as in effect on the Issue Date or
subsequent agreements relating to Indebtedness of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary and any
amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments,
modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or
refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such
dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue
Date unless in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors, such restrictions are
not likely to result in the Company being unable to make scheduled payments of principal and
interest on the Notes as they come due;

     (ii) this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees;

     (iii) applicable law, rules, regulations and orders;

     (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by
Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the
extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of
such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the
properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person,
so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the
terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

     (v) customary non-assignment provisions in contracts, licenses and leases entered into in
the ordinary course of business;

     (vi) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and
Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the
nature described in clause (c) of this Section 4.13;

     (vii) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary or all or
substantially all of its assets that restricts distributions of assets by, or Equity Interests of,
that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

     (viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the
agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive,
taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being
refinanced;

     (ix) Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to
dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

     (x) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers (including
governmental entities) under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

     (xi) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint
venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale and leaseback transactions, stock sale agreements

-63-

 

and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business or with the
approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the
assets that are the subject of such agreements;

     (xii) any encumbrance or restriction on the Company’s ability or the ability of any
Restricted Subsidiary to transfer its interest in any Investment not prohibited by Section
4.10 hereof;

     (xiii) customary restrictions imposed on the transfer of, or in licenses related to,
copyrights, patents or other intellectual property and contained in agreements entered into
in the ordinary course of business;

     (xiv) any other agreement governing Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock entered into
after the Issue Date that contains encumbrances and restrictions that are not more
restrictive than would be permitted by clause (i) of this paragraph;

     (xv) restrictions created in connection with any Qualified Securitization Financing
that, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, are necessary
or advisable to effect such Qualified Securitization Financing; and

     (xvi) agreements pursuant to any tax sharing arrangement between Parent and any one or
more of direct or indirect Subsidiaries of Parent.

Section 4.14. Transactions with Affiliates.

     Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment
to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of Parent’s or the Restricted Subsidiaries’
respective properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make
or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or
for the benefit of, any Affiliate involving aggregate payments of consideration in excess of $10
million (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

     (a) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms taken as a whole that are no less favorable to
Parent or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a
comparable transaction by Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

     (b) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

     (i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20 million, a resolution of the
Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such
Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.14 and that such Affiliate Transaction
has been approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (and, if any, a majority
of the disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors with respect to such
transaction); and

     (ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate
Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50 million, an opinion as to
the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view
issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

-64-

 

     The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not
be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

     (A) any customary consulting or employment agreement or arrangement, benefit arrangement
or plan, incentive compensation plan, stock option or stock ownership plan, employee benefit
plan, severance or termination arrangements, expense reimbursement arrangements, officer or
director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by Parent or any
of the Restricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of Parent’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s
directors, officers, employees and consultants and payments and transactions pursuant
thereto, in each case, in the ordinary course of business;

     (B) transactions between or among Parent and/or the Restricted Subsidiaries;

     (E) any agreement (including any certificate of designations relating to Capital
Stock) as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated
thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) in any replacement agreement thereto so long
as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any
material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

     (F) the granting or performance of customary registration rights in respect of restricted
Equity Interests held or acquired by Affiliates;

     (G) loans and advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $10

case may be, determined in good faith by Parent, that those that could be obtained in a comparable
arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of Parent;

     (J) the issuance or repurchase of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Parent
to any Affiliate of Parent; and

     (K) licenses of, or other grants of rights to use, intellectual property granted by Parent or

Section 4.15.  [Reserved].

Section 4.16. Activities of Escrow Issuer Prior to the Completion Date.

     Prior to the Completion Date, the Escrow Issuer shall have no business or activities (other
than (i) as contemplated in the Escrow Agreement, (ii) consummating the merger of the Escrow Issuer
with and into the Company on the Completion Date and (iii) in respect of performing its obligations
under this Indenture and the Notes) or assets or liabilities other than under this Indenture or as
evidenced by the Notes, but the other restrictive covenants in this Indenture will generally not
apply.

Section 4.17. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

     The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the
Company) 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 Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary
properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and
will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.10
or Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if
the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the
definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any
Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a
Default.

Section 4.18. Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an offer to purchase
(the “Change of Control Offer”) all Notes, and each Holder shall have the right to require the
Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of such Holder’s Notes, pursuant to the offer described below at a purchase price (the
“Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of Holders on
the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The
Company shall purchase all Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer and not
withdrawn.

     Subject to clause (c) below, within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall
send a notice, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder, at such Holder’s
address appearing in the securities register maintained in respect of the Notes by the Registrar
(the “Security Register”), stating:

     (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made
pursuant to Section 4.18 and that all Notes timely tendered will be accepted for payment;

     (ii) the Change of Control Payment and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any
contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later
than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed;

     (iii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control; and

     (iv) the procedures that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions
thereof) for payment, and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election
to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

-66-

 

     The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To
the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section
4.18, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be
deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.18 by virtue of such compliance.

     (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

     (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes validly and properly tendered
and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

     (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in
respect of all Notes or portions of Notes validly and properly tendered and not withdrawn;
and

     (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted
together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

     The Paying Agent shall promptly mail (or wire) to each Holder of Notes validly and properly
tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will
promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note
equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided
that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof.

     The Company shall publicly announce the results of a Change of Control Offer on or as soon as
practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

     (c) The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer
following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this
Indenture are applicable, except as provided under Article 8. Except as described above with
respect to a Change of Control, this Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders
of the Notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover,
spin-off, recapitalization or similar transaction.

     (d) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of
Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of
Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly and properly tendered and not
withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (ii) notice or redemption of all of the Notes has been
given pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 3.04, unless and until there is a Default in payment of
the applicable redemption price, or (iii) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of
Control for which a definitive agreement is entered into, the Company or a third party has made an
offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly and properly tendered at a cash
price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes validly and
properly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer; provided
that the terms of such Alternate Offer shall not require Holders to irrevocably tender any Notes
and such Alternate Offer shall not close unless and until the Change of Control is actually
consummated.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 4.18 may, prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control,
be waived or modified with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of
the

-67-

 

then outstanding Notes. Following the occurrence of a Change of Control, any change, amendment or
modification in any material respect of the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a
Change of Control Offer may only be effected with the consent of each holder affected thereby.

Section 4.19. Additional Guarantees.

     If Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary acquires or creates another Restricted Subsidiary
(other than a Foreign Subsidiary of the Company or an Immaterial Subsidiary) after the Issue Date
that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, then that
newly acquired or created Restricted Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto providing for a Guarantee and
deliver an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as to the due authorization, execution
and delivery and the enforceability of such Guarantee within 45 Business Days of the date on which
it was acquired or created.

Section 4.20. Covenant Suspension.

     (a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from
both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and continuing under this Indenture (the
occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively
referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date of such Covenant Suspension Event, as the
“Suspension Date”), then Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.09,
Section 4.10, Section 4.12, Section 4.13, Section 4.14, Section 4.17, and clause (d) of the first
paragraph of Section 5.01 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

     (b) In the event that Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended
Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of clause (a) above, and on any
subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment
Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then
Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants
under this Indenture with respect to future events.

     (c) The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as
the “Suspension Period”. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the
amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset at zero. In the event of any such
reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants, no action taken or omitted to be taken by Parent or any
of the Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of
Default under this Indenture; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after any
such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though the
covenant described under Section 4.10 had been in effect prior to, but not during the Suspension
Period; provided that no Subsidiaries may be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the
Suspension Period and (2) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock
issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to
clause (ii) of Section 4.09(b).

     (d) The Company shall provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee notifying the Trustee of
a Covenant Suspension Event or a reversion thereof, including the relevant Suspension Date or
Reversion Date, as applicable.

Section 4.21. Additional Amounts.

     (a) All payments made by any Guarantor that is not formed or incorporated under the laws of
the United States or any State of the United States or the District of Columbia (each, a “non-

-68-

 

U.S. Guarantor”) under or with respect to such non-U.S. Guarantors’ Guarantee will be made free and
clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes
imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Authority within Spain or other jurisdiction in
which such non-U.S. Guarantor is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or within
or through which payment is made or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof
or therein (any of the aforementioned being a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such non-U.S. Guarantor
is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.
If any non-U.S. Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes
imposed by a Taxing Authority within Spain, or within any other Taxing Jurisdiction, from any
payment made under or with respect to the Guarantee of such non-U.S. Guarantor, such non-U.S.
Guarantor will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder of Notes
(including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount the Holder
would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that no
Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to:

     (1) any Tax imposed by the United States or by any political subdivision or Taxing
Authority thereof or therein;

     (2) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld but for the
existence of any connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of a Note (or between a
fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the
Holder or beneficial owner of such Note, if the Holder or beneficial owner is an estate,
nominee, trust, partnership or corporation) and the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than
the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding of the execution, delivery,
registration or enforcement of such note);

     (3) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer or personal property Tax or
similar Tax, assessment or governmental charge, subject to Section 4.21(e) below;

     (4) any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments under or
with respect to the Guarantee by any non-U.S. Guarantor of such Note;

     (5) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld if the Holder or
beneficial owner of a Note or beneficial owner of any payment on the Guarantee of such Note
had (i) made a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption, to
which it is entitled or (ii) complied with any certification, identification, information,
documentation or other reporting requirement concerning the nationality, residence, identity
or connection with the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner of
such Note or any payment on such Note (provided that (x) such declaration of non-residence or
other claim or filing for exemption or such compliance is required by the applicable law of
the Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of the
imposition, deduction or withholding of, such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the
first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or
filing for exemption or such compliance is required under the applicable law of the Taxing
Jurisdiction, Holders at that time have been notified by such Guarantor or any other Person
through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing
for exemption or such compliance is required to be made);

     (6) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed, deducted or withheld if the
beneficiary of the payment had presented the Note for payment within 30 days after the date
on which such payment or such note became due and payable or the date on which payment
thereof

-69-

 

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);

     (7) any payment under or with respect to a Note to any Holder that is a fiduciary or
partnership or any Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment or Note, to
the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such
partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment or Note would not have been entitled to
the Additional Amounts, or to a reduced amount of Additional Amounts, had such beneficiary,
settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note; or

     (8) any combination of items (1) through (7) of this Section 4.21(a).

     (b) Each applicable non-U.S. Guarantor will also make any applicable withholding or deduction
and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with
applicable law. Each applicable non-U.S. Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee, within 60 days
after the date the payment of any Taxes deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law,
certified copies of tax receipts or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to such
non-U.S. Guarantor, such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by
such non-U.S. Guarantor. Copies of such tax receipts or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably
available, such other documentation will be made available to the Holders or the Paying Agent, as
applicable, upon request.

     (c) At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to any
Guarantee is due and payable, if any non-U.S. Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts
with respect to such payment, such non-U.S. Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee and the Paying
Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the
amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable such Trustee and
Paying Agent to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of such Notes on the applicable payment
date, unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to such
date, in which case it shall be promptly paid thereafter.

     (d) The non-U.S. Guarantors will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes
or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any jurisdiction
from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of their respective Guarantees of the
Notes, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereto, excluding all such
taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction outside the United States in which any
non-U.S. Guarantor or any successor Person is organized or resident for tax purposes or any
jurisdiction in which a paying agent is located, and the non-U.S. Guarantors will agree to
indemnify the Holders of the Notes for any such non-excluded taxes paid by such Holders.

     (e) The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.21 shall survive any termination or discharge
of this Indenture and payment of the Notes and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Taxing
Jurisdiction with respect to any successor Person to a non-U.S. Guarantor.

     (f) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal,
premium, if any, interest or of any other amount payable under or with respect to any note, such
mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that,
in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default.

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

-72-

 

     (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Additional Interest with
respect to, the Notes;

     (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes;

     (iii) failure by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with Section 5.01 or with
Section 4.18;

     (iv) failure by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary for 60 days after notice to comply with
any other covenant or agreement in this Indenture or the Notes after written notice thereof is
given to the Company by the Trustee or Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries and to the Trustee by
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a
single class;

     (v) default under any agreement, bond, mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there
may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by
Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Parent or any
Restricted Subsidiary) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the
Issue Date, if that default:

     (A) is caused by a failure to pay any scheduled installment of principal on such
Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on
the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or

     (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal
amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity
of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $100 million or more; provided, however, where (i)
neither Parent nor any Restricted Subsidiary has general liability with respect to such
Indebtedness, and (ii) the creditor has agreed in writing that such creditor’s recourse is solely to
specified assets or Unrestricted Subsidiaries, the amount of such Indebtedness shall be deemed to
be the lesser of (x) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, and (y) the fair market value of
such specified assets to which the creditor has recourse;

     (vi) failure by Parent, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final and
non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in
excess of $100 million (net of any amounts covered by insurance), which judgments are not paid,
discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

     (vii) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary, or any
group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary,
shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any
reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any
group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary,
or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall deny
or disaffirm in writing its obligations under its Guarantee; and

-73-

 

     (viii) Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or
any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant
Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

     (A) commences a voluntary case,

     (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
case,

     (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all
of its property,

     (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

     (E) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; and

     (ix) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy
Law that:

     (A) is for relief against Parent, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or
any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case;

     (B) appoints a custodian of Parent, the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary, for all or substantially all of the property of
Parent, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

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

     (D) the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (viii) or (ix) of
Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to Parent or the Company), shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all the Notes
then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of
acceleration. In the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (viii) or (ix) of Section
6.01 hereof, with respect to Parent or the Company shall occur, such amount with respect to all the
Notes will become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or the Holders. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided
in this Indenture. Subject to the limitations described in this Article 6, Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal,

-74-

 

premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any) if it determines that withholding
notice is in their interest.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy
to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any,
on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
Additionally, at the request of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding following any declaration of the acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.02
that has not been rescinded, the Trustee may instruct the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the
Escrow Account to the Trustee to consummate a Special Redemption.

     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 not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing
Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest on,
the Notes; provided, however, that after any acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on
acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding may rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other
than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium or interest or Additional Interest, have been
cured or waived as provided in this Indenture. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

     Subject to Section 7.01, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at
the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to Section
7.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to
the Notes.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

     No Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

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

-75-

 

     (b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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

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

     (e) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day
period.

     The preceding limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for enforcement of
payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest on, a Note on
or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

     A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or 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, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Note,
on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer
to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

     If an Event of Default specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 6.01 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, if any, and
interest and Additional Interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel) and the Holders 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
participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in
such matter and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, ex-

-76-

 

penses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied
for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any
and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be
entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization
or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

     If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in
the following order:

     First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07
hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall
direct.

     The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion
may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10%
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

     (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in
its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.

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

determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not
confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated
therein or otherwise verify the contents thereof).

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

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

     (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a

investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to
make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and
shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or
investigation.

     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or
an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may
consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full
and complete au-

have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

     (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any

the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the specific
Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture.

understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted
practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as 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 Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to
continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee
is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04.
Trustee’s Disclaimer.

     The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the

provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes 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 and if it is known to the Trustee,
the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after
such Default or Event of Default becomes known to the Trustee unless such Default or Event of
Default has since been cured. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, 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. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     Within 60 days after each January 31 beginning with January 31, 2012, and for so long as Notes
remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting
date that complies with TIA § 313(a); provided that if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has
occurred within the twelve months preceding such reporting date, no report need be transmitted. The
Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports
as required by TIA § 313(c).

     A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Company
and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA
§ 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock
exchange.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Company and Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as agreed to in
writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of
an express trust. The Company and Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee
promptly

-80-

 

upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in
addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

     The Company and Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee or any
predecessor Trustee against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or
expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys fees (“losses”) incurred by it arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the
costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07)
and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other
person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent any such losses may be attributable to its gross negligence or bad
faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.
Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The
Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against
any loss liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct,
gross negligence or bad faith.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture.

     To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien
prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee. Such Lien shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
clauses (viii) or (ix) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the
services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The
Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08.
Replacement of Trustee.

     A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

     The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days prior notice to the Company and be
discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee
and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

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

     (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered
with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

     (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

-81-

 

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor
Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

     If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the Trustee gives notice of
resignation or receives notice of removal, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at
least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

     A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Holders. Subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof, the retiring Trustee shall
promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however,
that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder shall have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of
the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

     If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further
act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person 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 $50,000,000 as
set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

     This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1),
(2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

     The
Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent
indicated therein.

-82-

 

Section 7.12. Escrow Authorization.

     Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Escrow
Agreement, including related documents thereto, as the same may be in effect or may be amended from
time to time in writing by the parties thereto (provided that no amendment that would materially
adversely affect the rights of the Holders may be effected without the consent of each Holder of
Notes affected thereby), and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Escrow Agreement
and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The
Company shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or as
may be required by the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the
security interest contemplated by the Escrow Agreement or any part thereof, as from time to time
constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and
of the Notes and Guarantees secured hereby, according to the intent and purpose herein expressed.
The Company shall take, or shall cause to be taken, any and all actions reasonably required to
cause the Escrow Agreement to create and maintain, as security for the obligations of the Company
under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees as provided in the Escrow Agreement, valid and
enforceable first priority perfected liens in and on all the Escrow Proceeds, in favor of the
Trustee for its benefit, and the ratable benefit of the Holders, superior to and prior to the
rights of third Persons and subject to no other Liens.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in
this Article 8.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

     Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with
respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees, on the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the
Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the
outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of
Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and
to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee,
on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the
trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on
such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes
under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and
(d) this Article 8. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to
this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof,
payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance
with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding
the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

-83-

 

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

     Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their respective obligations under the covenants contained
in Sections 4.05, 4.06, 4.08 through 4.14, and 4.17 through 4.19 hereof, and the operation of
Section 5.01(d) hereof, with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions
set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall
thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may
omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set
forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises
under Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default specified in clauses (iii) and (iv) (with respect to the covenants
contained in Sections 4.05, 4.06, 4.08 through 4.14, and 4.17 through 4.19 hereof), (v), (vi),
(vii) and (viii) (but in the case of clauses (viii) and (ix) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect
to Significant Subsidiaries only).

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

     The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof
to the outstanding Notes.

The Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if:

     (a) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes, cash in United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a
combination of cash in United States dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in
amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank,
appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants as selected by Parent, to pay the
principal of, or interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding
Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and
the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular
redemption date;

     (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received
from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the
Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case
to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders
of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

-84-

 

     (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the
outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as
a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

     (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such
deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be
applied to such deposit);

     (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (including,
without limitation, the Credit Agreement, but excluding this Indenture) to which the Company
or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

     (f)
the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit
was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over Parent’s
or any Restricted Subsidiary’s other creditors with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s creditors or others; and

     (g) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the
Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

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

     Subject to Section 11.03 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this
Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes
shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes
and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including Parent
or any Restricted Subsidiary acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders
of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest
and Additional Interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.

     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof
or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

     Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or Government Securities
held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered
to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.04(b) hereof), are in
excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

-85-

 

Section 8.06. Reserved.

Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

     If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the
Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest on
any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

     Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee
may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without the consent of any
Holder to:

     (a) cure any ambiguity, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

     (b) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

     (c) provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the
Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture and/or a Guarantee in the case of a
merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or the assets
of such Guarantor’s assets;

     (d) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders
of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any such Holder;

     (e) make any change to comply with any requirement of the SEC in order to effect or maintain
the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

     (f) add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power
conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor;

     (g) add a Guarantor under this Indenture;

     (h) conform the text of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision
of the Description of Notes to the extent that such provision in the Description of Notes was
intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Guarantee or the
Notes;

-86-

 

     (i) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations as
set forth in this Indenture;

     (j) provide for a successor trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or to
otherwise comply with any requirement of the Indenture; or

(k) comply with the rules of any applicable securities depositary.

     Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution of the Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with
the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by
the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that
may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or
supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

     Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in principal amount of the Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding
voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing
Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest on the Notes, except a payment
default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of
this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including Additional Notes, if any,
voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).

     Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution of the Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with
the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture
unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date
is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons,
shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental Indenture, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such consent shall have become effective by
virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after
such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action
by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
approves the substance thereof.

-87-

 

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to the Holders to such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register a notice
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any
such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including Additional Notes, if
any, then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the
Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

     Without the consent of each Holder adversely affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver
under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

Section 9.04. 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 of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion thereof
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 or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the Trustee
receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Notes have consented (and theretofore not revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or
waiver.

Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

     The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this
Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities
or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until
its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental Indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in
relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
amended or supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such
amended or supplemental Indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such
amended or supplemental Indenture complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).

Section 9.07. Payments for Consent.

     Parent will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes
for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of
this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all
Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the
solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Guarantee.

     On the Completion Date, the Company shall cause each Subsidiary of the Parent, other than a
Foreign Subsidiary of the Company, that provides a Guarantee of the obligations under the Credit
Agreement to enter into a supplemental indenture substantially in the
form of Exhibit E hereto
providing for a

-89-

 

Guarantee of the Notes and deliver an Opinion of Counsel on the Completion Date satisfactory to the
Trustee as to the due authorization, execution and delivery and the enforceability of such
Guarantee, and thereupon such Person shall become a Guarantor hereunder for all purposes.

     Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of
this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the
principal of premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company
to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed,
all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall 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 pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof or otherwise. Failing payment when
due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the
Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor
agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

     Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to this Guarantee shall be joint
and several, unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the
obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the
recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture,
the Notes or the Obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, any action to
enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance) which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor further, to the
extent permitted by law, waives and relinquishes all claims, rights and remedies accorded by
applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such claims, rights
or remedies, including but not limited to: (a) any right to require any of the Trustee, the Holders
or the Company (each a “Benefited Party”), as a condition of payment or performance by such
Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor)
of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any
security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other
Person, (3) proceed against
or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Benefited Party
in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other remedy in the power of any
Benefited Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority
or any disability or other defense of the Company including any defense based on or arising out of
the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any
agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the
Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations under the Guarantees; (c) any
defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must
be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d)
any defense based upon any Benefited Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the
Obligations under the Guarantees, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (1) any
principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the
terms of the Guarantees and any legal or equitable discharge of such
Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder, (2) the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting such Guarantor’s liability
hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (3) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and
(4) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Benefited Party protect, secure, perfect or
insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands,
presentations, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or
inaction, including acceptance of the Guarantees, notices of Default under the Notes or any
agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the
Obligations under the Guarantees or any agreement related thereto, and

-90-

 

notices of any extension of credit to the Company and any right to consent to any thereof; (g) to
the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of any “One Action” rule; and (h) any
defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or
exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Guarantees. Each
Guarantor hereby covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in its Guarantee and this Indenture.

     If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company,
the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation
to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder,
this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

     Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to
the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 hereof for the
purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, such
obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair
the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

     Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the
intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any
Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors
hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Article 10 shall be
limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, including, if
applicable, its guarantee of all obligations under the Credit Agreement, and after giving effect to
any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result
in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

     To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that
a notation of such Guarantee in substantially the form included in
Exhibit D shall be endorsed by
an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

     Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such
Guarantee.

     If an Officer whose signature is on any supplemental indenture or on the Guarantee no longer
holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed,
the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

-91-

 

     The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

Section 10.04.
Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may 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 Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or
another Guarantor, unless:

     (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default
exists; and

     (ii) either:

     (A) Subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any
such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation
or merger (if other than a Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of
that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Guarantee and the Registration Rights
Agreement on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental
Indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

     (B) Except in the case of Parent, the Net Proceeds of such sale or other
disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.12 hereof.

     (b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by
the successor Person, by supplemental Indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and
satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and
punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by
the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the
same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may
cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable
hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee.
All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

     (c) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a)(ii)(A) and
(B) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any
consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall
prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an
entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05. Release of Guarantees.

     The Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be unconditionally released and discharged, and no further
action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s
Guarantee, upon:

-92-

 

     (1) (a) except in the case of Parent, in connection with (i) any sale or other
disposition of all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or
consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such
transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of Parent’s, if the sale or other disposition comply with
the provisions of Section 4.12 or (ii) any sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to
a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) Parent or a
Restricted Subsidiary of Parent, if the sale complies with the provisions of Section 4.12, in
each case as provided in Section 4.12;

     (b) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.17;

     (c) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Article 8 and upon a
discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 11.01; or

     (d) except in the case of Parent, if such Guarantor shall not Guarantee any Indebtedness
under any Credit Facility (other than if such Guarantor no longer Guarantees any such
Indebtedness as a result of payment under any Guarantee of any such Indebtedness by any
Guarantor); provided that a Guarantor shall not be permitted to be released from its
Guarantee pursuant to this clause (d) if it is an obligor with respect to such Indebtedness
that would not, pursuant to Section 4.09, be permitted to be incurred by a Restricted
Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, unless such Guarantor is also designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time of such release.

     (2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating
to such transaction have been complied with.

outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary 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

ACT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE
MEANING GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.]

     Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

     For the purposes of this Note, (i) prior to the Completion Date, references to the “Company”
refer only to the Escrow Issuer, and (ii) on and after the Completion Date, references to the
“Company” refer only to the surviving entity of the Mergers, Grifols Inc., a Virginia corporation.

     1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this
Note at
8.25% per annum until maturity and shall pay Additional Interest, if any, as provided in Section 2
of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided that if the Company makes an Escrow Extension
Election and the Completion Date has not occurred on or before June 30, 2011, the interest rate on
this Note will permanently increase to 8.75% per annum effective July 1, 2011. The Company shall
pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “interest payment date”). Interest on the
Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
been paid, from the date of issuance; provided, however, that if there is no existing Default in
the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the
face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such next
succeeding interest payment date; provided, further, that the first interest payment date shall be
August 1, 2011. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at
a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same
rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

A-4

 

     2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest)
to the Persons who are Holders at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15 next preceding
the interest payment date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before
such interest payment date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to
defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if
any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional
Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
Security Register; provided, however, that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds
shall be required with respect to principal of and interest and Additional Interest, if any, and
premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided
wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin
or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts.

     3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may
change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Parent or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

     4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of January
21, 2011 (“Indenture”) among the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in
the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,
as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are
referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision
of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the
Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The
Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

     5. Optional Redemption.

     (a) Except as set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of this Paragraph 5, the Notes will not be redeemable
at the option of the Company prior to February 1, 2014. On or after February 1, 2014, the
Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over time, after giving the required
notice under the Indenture. The Notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the
twelve-month period commencing on February 1 of the years indicated below:

	 	 	 	 	 
	Year	 	Percent	 
	2014
	 	 	106.188	%
	2015
	 	 	104.125	%
	2016
	 	 	102.063	%
	2017 and thereafter
	 	 	100.000	%

     (b) At any time and from time to time prior to February 1, 2014, the Company may redeem up to
35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price
equal to 108.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record
date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) with the net cash proceeds of
any Qualified Equity Offering; provided, however, that:

A-5

 

     (1) after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes issued on the Issue Date (excluding Notes held by Parent and its
Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

     (2) any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of the closing of such Qualified
Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice.

     (c) At any time and from time to time prior to February 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all or
a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice under the Indenture at
a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable
Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption
date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant interest payment date).

     (d) Any prepayment pursuant to this Paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the
applicable redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called
for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

     6. Mandatory Redemption.

     (a) The Company shall not be required to make sinking fund payments with respect to the
Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to offer to repurchase the
Notes pursuant to Sections 3.10, 4.12 and 4.18 of the Indenture.

     (b) In addition, Parent and its Subsidiaries may acquire Notes by means other than a
redemption or required repurchase whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated
transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such
acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

     7. Special Redemption. In the event that the Completion Date has not occurred on or prior to
the Date of Determination, the Escrow Issuer will be required to redeem the Notes on the date that
is three Business Days after the Date of Determination (the “Special Redemption Date”), at a cash
redemption price of 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the Special Redemption Date. Upon the receipt of written instruction from the
Escrow Issuer and an Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee will send a notice of such Special
Redemption on behalf of the Escrow Issuer to the Holders of the Notes on the Date of Determination
if the Completion Date has not occurred on or prior to such Date of Determination.

     8. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

     (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an offer to purchase
(a “Change of Control Offer”) all Notes, and each Holder shall have the right to require the
Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess
thereof) of such Holders’ Notes, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to
the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest
payment date). The Company shall purchase all Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer and not withdrawn.

     (b) If Parent or one of the Restricted Subsidiaries consummates any Asset Sales, when the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50 million, the Company shall commence an offer (an

A-6

 

“Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari
passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect
to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and such other pari passu Indebtedness
that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any,
to the date of purchase,
pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes
(including Additional Notes) and other pari passu Indebtedness validly and properly tendered and
not withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or
such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the
Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness validly and
properly tendered and not withdrawn into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Company or the trustee, agent or other similar
party with respect to such other pari passu Indebtedness will select such to be purchased as
described in Article 3 of the Indenture. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to
purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and
may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of
Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

     9. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at
least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be
redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days
prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or
a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes
held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

     10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes
may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the
Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or
portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a
period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record
date and the corresponding interest payment date.

     11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all
purposes.

     12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the
Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without
limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to
Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance
with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees 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, if any) voting as a single class. Without the consent of any
Holder, the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be

A-7

 

amended or supplemented to: (1) cure any ambiguity, mistake, defect or inconsistency, (2) provide
for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, (3) provide for the
assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company or Guarantors under the
Notes, the Indenture and/or a Guarantee in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or the assets of such Guarantor, (4) make any change
that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not
adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, (5) make any change to
comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under
the TIA, (6) add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power
conferred upon the Company or any Guarantors, (7) add a Guarantor under the Indenture, (8) conform
the text of the Notes, the Indenture, or the Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of
Notes” to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim
recitation of a provision of the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantee, (9) provide for the
issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations as set forth in the Indenture, (10)
provide for a successor trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or (11) to otherwise
comply with any requirement of the Indenture, or to comply with the rules of any applicable
securities depositary.

     13. Defaults and Remedies. Each of the following is an Event of Default under the Indenture:
(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Additional Interest with respect
to, the Notes; (2) default in payment when due of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;
(3) failure by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with Section 5.01 or with Section 4.18
of the Indenture; (4) failure by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary for 60 days after notice to
comply with any covenant or agreement in the Indenture or the Notes after written notice thereof is
given to the Company by the Trustee or to Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries and to the Trustee
by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a
single class; (5) default under any agreement, bond, mortgage, indenture or instrument under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money
borrowed by Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Parent or
any Restricted Subsidiary) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after
the date of the Indenture, if that default (A) is caused by a failure to pay any scheduled
installment of principal on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided
in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or (B) results in the
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and in each such case, the
principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such
Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so
accelerated, aggregates $100 million or more, provided, however, where (i) neither Parent nor any
Restricted Subsidiary has general liability with respect to such Indebtedness, and (ii) the
creditor has agreed in writing that such creditor’s recourse is solely to specified assets or
Unrestricted Subsidiaries, the amount of such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be the lesser of (x)
the principal amount of such Indebtedness, and (y) the fair market value of such specified assets
to which the creditor has recourse; (6) failure by Parent, the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary to pay final and non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $100 million (net of any amounts covered by
insurance), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (7) except
as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall be
held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be
in full force and effect or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or any
Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of
Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall deny
or disaffirm in writing its obligations under its Guarantee; or (8) certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency described in the Indenture with respect to Parent, the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken
together, would consti-

A-8

 

tute a Significant Subsidiary. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may
declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event
of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes shall
become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or
the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing
Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of
principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes. The Company is
required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture,
and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to
the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

     14. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. However, in
the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within
90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the
same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the
Indenture.

     15. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
partner, manager, agent, member, incorporator (or Person forming any limited liability company) or
stockholder of the Company or of any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any
obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or for
any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder
by accepting a Note and the guarantee waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and
release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and guarantee. Such waiver may
not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the
SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

     16. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

     17. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee,
such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint
tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A
(= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

     18. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes
and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as
contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers placed thereon.

     19. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes.
In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted

A-9

 

Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes that are Initial Notes shall have all the rights set
forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2011, between the Company and
the Initial Purchasers named therein or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted
Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more
registration rights agreements, if any, among the Company and the other parties thereto, relating
to rights given by the Company to the purchasers of any Additional Notes.

     20. Governing Law. The internal law of the State of New York shall govern and be used to
construe the Indenture, this Note and the Guarantees without giving effect to applicable principals
of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be
required thereby.

     The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the
Indenture. Requests may be made to:
