 Atlanta, GA 30339 
 Dear Tony: 
 In consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and obligations contained in this Letter Agreement, Gentiva Health
Services, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you the following terms, which become effective February 28, 2006 and upon their acceptance by you: 
  

	1.	Your employment with the Company will be as an employee at will. Your status as an officer of the Company will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance
with the By-Laws of the Company. 

  

	2.	Your compensation (including bonus opportunity) shall be as set forth on Schedule 7.2(g) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 4, 2006, by and among the
Company, Tara Acquisition Sub Corp., The Heathfield Group, Inc., Rodney D. Windley, as the representative for the Securityholders (as defined therein) of the Company, and the Securityholders named therein, as may be adjusted from time to time.

  

	3.	Should the Company terminate your employment other than for cause (as hereinafter defined), the Company will pay to you, on a bi-weekly basis (or other regular payroll cycle in use
by the Company), twelve (12) months of severance (the “Severance Period”), based on your then current base salary. In addition, your medical/prescriptions/dental/vision benefits will be continued until the end of the Severance Period
or until similar benefits become available to you from a new employer, whichever comes first. Such benefits continuation shall be on the same basis as if you had continued in the employ of the Company (e.g. including any required associate
contributions) during that period adjusted for any plan changes. The payment of severance, however, is expressly conditioned upon your compliance with the terms set forth in paragraph 4(b) of this Letter Agreement. 

 The term “cause” shall mean the following: your conviction for any felony, fraud or embezzlement or crime of moral turpitude; controlled
substance abuse; alcoholism which interferes with or affects your responsibilities to the Company or which reflects negatively upon the integrity or reputation of the Company; gross negligence which is materially injurious to the Company; any
material violation of any express written directions or any reasonable written policy or procedure established by the Company from time to time regarding the conduct of its business and such violation has not been cured within ten (10) days
after written notice of such violation from the Company to you; or any violation by you of any material term and condition of this Letter Agreement. 

	4.	Upon a reduction in your current base salary, as the same may be increased from time to time, which is not part of a general salary reduction for a majority of salaried employees of
the Company, you will have the right to resign and receive the severance benefits described above, with your severance payments based on your salary prior to it having been reduced. This right can only be exercised within the 60 day period
immediately following any such reduction in salary. 

  

	5.	(a) Your employment with the Company and your receipt of stock options is expressly conditioned upon your consent and agreement to be bound by the non-competition and
non-solicitation provisions set forth in Attachment A hereto, which Attachment A is made a part hereof in its entirety. 

 (b)
Further, should the Company terminate your employment other than for cause (as defined in paragraph 3 of this Letter Agreement), you also agree that your receipt of the severance payments and benefits provided for herein is expressly conditioned
upon your consent and agreement to continue to be bound by the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions set forth in Attachment A hereto and your execution of the Release Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

  

	6.	This Letter Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by the Company and you. Except with respect to your Change in Control Agreement of even date with the
Company, the Merger Agreement and any other agreement between the Company and you specifically referenced herein and intended to continue beyond the execution of this Letter Agreement, this Letter Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement
between the Company and you with respect to the subject matter hereof. Specifically, you and the Company agree that your employment agreement dated December 10, 2001 between you and Healthfield, Inc. (“Employment Agreement”) shall be
terminated concurrently with the execution of this Letter Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect. You waive and release all rights you may have under the Employment Agreement as of the date hereof. This Letter Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs (in your
case) and assigns.

of the Companies, any Unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information. In the event that Executive is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil demand or
similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Executive will give the Companies prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that the Companies may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy 

 
and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and Executive will cooperate with the Companies’ efforts to obtain such protective order.
In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Companies waive compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, Executive is permitted to furnish that Confidential Information which is legally required to be

 As used herein, the term:

Section 2 hereof. 
 2. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

 (c)
During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not solicit or accept on behalf of yourself or anyone else any of the Companies’ customers and/or clients with a view to sell or provide any product or service competitive with any product or

 3. Intellectual Property. Executive agrees that during the term of Executive’s employment with the Companies, any and all inventions,
discoveries, innovations, writings, domain names, improvements, trade secrets, designs, drawings, business processes, secret processes and know-how, whether or not patentable or a copyright or trademark, which Executive may create, conceive, develop
or make, either alone or in conjunction with others and related or in any way connected with any of the Companies, its strategic plans, products, processes, apparatus or business now or hereafter carried on by any of the Companies (collectively,
“Inventions”), shall be fully and promptly disclosed to the Companies and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Companies (as they shall determine) as against Executive or any of Executive’s assignees. Regardless of
the status of Executive’s employment by the Companies, Executive and Executive’s heirs, assigns and representatives shall promptly assign to the Companies any and all right, title and interest in and to such Inventions made during the term
of Executive’s employment by any of the Companies. Executive represents that there are no Inventions with respect to any of the Companies conceived of, developed or made by Executive before the date of this Agreement which have not been
disclosed to and assigned to the Companies. 
 Whether during or after Executive’s employment with the Companies, Executive further
agrees to execute and acknowledge all papers and to do, at the Companies’ expense, any and all other things necessary for or incident to the applying for, obtaining and maintaining of such letters patent, copyrights, trademarks or other
intellectual property rights, as the case may be, and to execute, on request, all papers necessary to assign and transfer such Inventions, copyrights, patents, patent applications and other intellectual property rights to the Companies, their
successors and assigns (as they shall determine). In the event that the Companies are unable, after reasonable efforts and, in any event, after thirty (30) business days, to secure Executive’s signature on a written assignment to the
Companies, of any application for letters patent, trademark registration or to any common law or statutory copyright or other property right therein to which the Companies are entitled to ownership pursuant to this Section 3, whether because of
his physical or mental incapacity, or for any other reason whatsoever, Executive irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Parent as Executive’s attorney-in-fact to act on Executive’s behalf to
execute and file any such applications and to do all lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution or issuance of such assignments, letters patent, copyright or trademark; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence shall not apply
if the Executive disputes in writing the Companies’ ownership of the intellectual property rights which are the subject of the proposed assignment. 
 4. Non-Disparagement. Executive shall not make any false, defamatory or disparaging statements about any of the Companies or any of its officers, directors and employees. No officer or director of the Parent
shall make any false, defamatory or disparaging statements about the Executive. 

 5. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon Executive any
right to continue in the employ of the Companies or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Companies, which, subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement, are hereby reserved, to discharge Executive at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without cause. 
 6. No Conflicting Agreements. Executive warrants that Executive is not bound by the terms of a
confidentiality agreement, non-competition or other agreement with a third party that would conflict with Executive’s obligations hereunder. 
 7. Remedies. The period of time during which the restrictions set forth in Section 2(a) hereof will be in effect will be extended by the length of time during which Executive is in breach of the terms of those provisions as
finally determined by any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
Executive and Executive’s heirs, assigns and representatives and inure to the benefit of the Companies and their successors and assigns, including without limitation any entity to which substantially all of the assets or the business of any of
the Companies are sold or transferred. The obligations of Executive are personal to Executive and shall not be assigned by Executive. The Companies may assign its rights under this Agreement to any affiliate of the Companies that employs Executive.

 9. Severability. It is expressly agreed that if any restrictions set forth in this Agreement are found by any court having
jurisdiction to be unreasonable because they are too broad in any respect, then and in each such case, the remaining provisions herein contained shall, nevertheless, remain effective, and this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall be considered to
be amended, so as to be considered reasonable and enforceable by such court, and the court shall specifically have the right to restrict the time period or the business or geographical scope of such restrictions to any portion of the time period,
business or geographic areas to the extent the court deems such restriction to be necessary to cause the covenants to be enforceable and, in such event, the covenants shall be enforced to the extent so permitted and the remaining provisions shall be
unaffected thereby. In such event, the parties hereto agree to execute all documents necessary to evidence such amendment so as to eliminate or modify any such unreasonable provision in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement insofar as
possible and to render this Agreement enforceable in all respects as so modified. The covenants contained in this Section 9 shall be construed to extend to separate jurisdictions or subjurisdictions of the United States in which the Companies,
during the term of Executive’s employment, have been or are engaged in business, and to the extent that any such covenant shall be illegal and/or unenforceable with respect to any jurisdiction, said covenant shall not be affected thereby with
respect to each other jurisdiction, such covenants with respect to each jurisdiction being construed as severable and independent. Any covenant on Executive’s part contained hereinabove, which may not be specifically enforceable, shall
nevertheless, if breached, give rise to a cause of action for monetary damages. The restrictive covenant provisions of this Agreement shall govern to the extent there is any conflict between their terms and the terms of any other agreement or
understanding with the Companies. 

 10. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission) or (iii) one Business Day following the day sent by overnight
courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

cessation of my employment with the Company and its subsidiaries which I now have or shall have as of the date of this General Release. 
 This General Release does not constitute a waiver of my right to bring action against the Company to enforce the terms and provisions of the Letter Agreement. 
 This General Release does not constitute a waiver of my prior indemnification rights, if any, should I be ordered to appear as a witness or made a defendant in any litigation regarding matters or actions taken within
the scope of my responsibilities as an employee of the Company. 

 3) Not A Waiver of Vested Benefits 
 This General Release shall not constitute a waiver of (i) right to benefits which have vested on or prior to the date of termination of my employment or the terms of any applicable employee benefit plan, or
(ii) my unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred prior to the date my employment was terminated in accordance with Company policy. 
 4)
Covenant Not to Sue 
 I agree that I will not file, charge (except that I may file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity

concerning my employment relationship with the Company, up to and including the date of this General Release, or involving any continuing effects of any acts or practices which may have arisen or occurred on or prior to the date of this General
Release. I further agree that should any person, organization, or other entity file, charge, claim, sue, or cause or permit to be filed any civil action, suit or legal proceeding involving any matter occurring at any time in the past, I will not
seek or accept any personal relief in such civil action, suit or legal proceeding. Nothing in this Section 4 shall limit my right to cooperate with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) in an investigation of a charge
of age discrimination, including a charge filed with the EEOC file by me. 
 5) Governing Law and Interpretation 
 This General Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York State without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
Should any provision of this General Release be declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, and cannot be modified to be enforceable, such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this
General Release in full force and effect. However, if the release portion is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental agency, or I exercise my right to revoke set forth in Section 7 below, then I
agree to immediately return to the Company any payment I received as part of the severance package and the Company shall have no further obligation under the Letter Agreement. 
 6) Entire Agreement; Amendment 
 This General Release and the Letter Agreement, along with Attachment
A, set forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and shall supersede any and all prior understandings between the parties, except to the extent as set forth in the Letter Agreement. This General Release may not be amended except by a
written agreement signed by both parties to the Letter Agreement. 
 7) Effective Date; Right to Revoke 
 I understand that I have been provided the opportunity to review this General Release for a period of at least twenty-one (21) days. I understand

RELEASE AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED IN WRITING TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY PRIOR TO EXECUTING THIS GENERAL RELEASE. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT DURING SUCH TWENTY-ONE (21) DAY PERIOD AND/OR SEVEN DAY REVOCATION PERIOD, I WILL RECEIVE ANY PAYMENTS
APPLICABLE UNDER THE COMPANY’S REGULAR SEVERANCE PLAN. IF I EXECUTE THIS GENERAL RELEASE, PAYMENTS (IN EXCESS OF THE REGULAR SEVERANCE) WILL BEGIN TO BE MADE FOLLOWING THE SEVEN (7) DAY REVOCATION PERIOD. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this General Release as of the date set forth below.

necessary to enable Executive to perform Executive’s duties. Executive will play or has played a significant role in the development and management of the businesses of the Companies and has been or will be entrusted with the Companies’
confidential information relating to the Companies’ customers, manufacturers, distributors and others. 
 WHEREAS, Executive is a
holder of Healthfield preferred stock and Healthfield common stock and is receiving significant consideration as a result of the Merger. 
 WHEREAS, it is a condition to the closing of the Merger that Executive enter into this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE,
it is mutually agreed as follows: 
 1. Confidentiality. 
 (a) Executive shall not, during the term of any employment with the Companies or at any time thereafter, directly or indirectly, divulge,
use, furnish, disclose, exploit or make available to any person or entity, whether or not a competitor of the Companies, any Unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information. In the event that Executive is requested or required (by deposition,
interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Executive will give the Companies prompt written notice of such request or requirement
so that the Companies may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and Executive will cooperate with the Companies’ efforts to obtain such protective order. In the event
that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Companies waive compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, Executive is permitted to furnish that Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed
and will use his reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information. 

 As used herein, the term: 
 “Confidential Information” shall mean trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information, and all other information,
documents or materials, relating to, owned, developed or possessed by any of the Companies, whether in tangible or intangible form. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, (i) financial information, (ii) products,
(iii) product and service costs, prices, profits and sales, (iv) new business, technical or other ideas, proposals, plans and designs, (v) business strategies, (vi) product and service plans, (vii) marketing plans and
studies, (viii) forecasts, (ix) budgets, (x) projections, (xi) computer programs, (xii) data bases and the documentation (and information contained therein), (xiii) computer access codes and similar information,
(xiv) source codes, (xv) know-how, technologies, concepts and designs, including, without limitation, patent applications, (xvi) research projects and all information connected with research and development efforts,
(xvii) records, (xviii) business methods and recommendations, (xix) existing or prospective client, customer, vendor and supplier information (including, but not limited to, identities, needs, transaction histories, volumes,
characteristics, agreements, prices, identities of individual contacts, and spending, preferences or habits), (xx) training manuals and similar materials used by the Companies in conducting its business operations, (xxi) personnel files of
employees, directors and independent contractors of any of the Companies, (xxii) competitive analyses, (xxiii) contracts with other parties, (xxiv) product formulations, and (xxv) other confidential or proprietary information
that has not been made available to the trade or general public by any of the Companies. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (A) is or becomes generally available to the public or the trade other than as a result of
a disclosure by the Executive in violation of this Agreement or (B) becomes available to the Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Companies which is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the Executive
by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to the Employer or any other Person. 
 “Unauthorized” shall
mean: (i) in contravention of the policies or procedures of any of the Companies; (ii) otherwise inconsistent with any measures taken by any of the Companies to protect its interests in the Confidential Information; (iii) in
contravention of any lawful instruction or directive, either written or oral, of the board of directors, or an officer or employee of any of the Companies empowered to issue such instruction or directive; (iv) in contravention of any duty
existing under law or contract; or (v) to the detriment of any of the Companies; but shall not include any disclosure which is customary in the normal course of business in the trade and consistent with the past practice of the Companies.

 (b) Executive further agrees to take all reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized persons or entities from obtaining or
using Confidential Information. Promptly upon termination, for any reason, of Executive’s employment with the Companies, Executive agrees to deliver to the Companies all property and materials within Executive’s possession or control which
belong to any of the Companies or which contain Confidential Information. 
 (c) Nothing in this Section 1 is intended to
preclude Executive from using his general knowledge and know-how regarding the management of a health care service provider in any future employment or business venture; provided, that Executive’s use of such general knowledge and know-how does
not violate the provisions of Section 2 hereof. 

 2. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. 
 (a) For a period of time equal to the later of the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Merger or the second anniversary after
the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Companies (the “Noncompete Period”), Executive will not, directly or indirectly, engage, anywhere in the United States, whether such engagement be as an individual,
officer, director, proprietor, consultant, employee, partner, member, stockholder, investor (other than solely as a holder of less than three percent (3%) of the outstanding capital stock of a corporation whose shares are publicly traded on a
national securities exchange or through a national market system or registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), creditor, consultant, advisor, sales representative, agent or other participant, in a
Restricted Business. 
 (b) During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not directly or indirectly (i) solicit, divert,
or entice away any person who is an officer, agent, or employee of, or consultant or advisor to, any of the Companies to accept employment or a consultancy with a third party or (ii) hire any current or future employees of the Companies, unless
such person has not been employed by any of the Companies for not less than 12 months (other than, Lisa Shunnarah). 
 (c)
During the Noncompete Period, Executive shall not solicit or accept on behalf of yourself or anyone else any of the Companies’ customers and/or clients with a view to sell or provide any product or service competitive with any product or
service sold or provided or under development by the Companies. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “customer” and/or “client” shall include any person or entity to whom the Companies, through its offices in which you
had direct or indirect oversight and managerial duties during your employment with the Companies, have sold, provided or been obligated to provide, any service or product, or who has otherwise received any service or benefit from the Companies,
within 24 months prior to the termination of Executive’s employment with the Companies. 
 “Restricted
Business” shall mean (i) the business operations operated by the Companies; (ii) home health services, including but not limited to the provision of skilled nursing, rehabilitative therapy services (physical, occupational and
speech therapy and social work), home health aid care, and homemaker services to pediatric, adult, and elderly patients in their homes or places of residence; (iii) hospice care; (iv) home/durable medical equipment and/or respiratory
services; and (v) infusion therapy. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2 shall prohibit
Executive from (i) owning any amount of stock in Gentiva or serving in any capacity as an officer, director or employee of Gentiva or (ii) making passive investments in another entity (e.g. a private equity or debt fund) not controlled by
Executive that makes investments, whether debt or equity, in other entities that may be engaged in a Restricted Business, provided that Executive does not directly or indirectly own or control in excess of 10% of any Restricted Business. 

3. Intellectual Property. Executive agrees that during the term of Executive’s employment with the Companies, any and all inventions,
discoveries, innovations, writings, domain names, improvements, trade secrets, designs, drawings, business processes, secret 

 
processes and know-how, whether or not patentable or a copyright or trademark, which Executive may create, conceive, develop or make, either alone or in
conjunction with others and related or in any way connected with any of the Companies, its strategic plans, products, processes, apparatus or business now or hereafter carried on by any of the Companies (collectively, “Inventions”),
shall be fully and promptly disclosed to the Companies and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Companies (as they shall determine) as against Executive or any of Executive’s assignees. Regardless of the status of Executive’s
employment by the Companies, Executive and Executive’s heirs, assigns and representatives shall promptly assign to the Companies any and all right, title and interest in and to such Inventions made during the term of Executive’s employment
by any of the Companies. Executive represents that there are no Inventions with respect to any of the Companies conceived of, developed or made by Executive before the date of this Agreement which have not been disclosed to and assigned to the
Companies. 
 Whether during or after Executive’s employment with the Companies, Executive further agrees to execute and acknowledge all
papers and to do, at the Companies’ expense, any and all other things necessary for or incident to the applying for, obtaining and maintaining of such letters patent, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights, as the case may
be, and to execute, on request, all papers necessary to assign and transfer such Inventions, copyrights, patents, patent applications and other intellectual property rights to the Companies, their successors and assigns (as they shall determine). In
the event that the Companies are unable, after reasonable efforts and, in any event, after thirty (30) business days, to secure Executive’s signature on a written assignment to the Companies, of any application for letters patent,
trademark registration or to any common law or statutory copyright or other property right therein to which the Companies are entitled to ownership pursuant to this Section 3, whether because of his physical or mental incapacity, or for any
other reason whatsoever, Executive irrevocably designates and appoints the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Parent as Executive’s attorney-in-fact to act on Executive’s behalf to execute and file any such applications and to do
all lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution or issuance of such assignments, letters patent, copyright or trademark; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence shall not apply if the Executive disputes in writing the
Companies’ ownership of the intellectual property rights which are the subject of the proposed assignment. 
 4.
Non-Disparagement. Executive shall not make any false, defamatory or disparaging statements about any of the Companies or any of its officers, directors and employees. No officer or director of the Parent shall make any false, defamatory or
disparaging statements about the Executive. 
 5. No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon
Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Companies or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Companies, which, subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement, are hereby reserved, to discharge Executive at any time
for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. 
 6. No Conflicting Agreements. Executive warrants that Executive is not bound by
the terms of a confidentiality agreement, non-competition or other agreement with a third party that would conflict with Executive’s obligations hereunder. 

 7. Remedies. The period of time during which the restrictions set forth in Section 2(a)
hereof will be in effect will be extended by the length of time during which Executive is in breach of the terms of those provisions as finally determined by any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 8. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon Executive and Executive’s heirs, assigns and representatives and inure to the
benefit of the Companies and their successors and assigns, including without limitation any entity to which substantially all of the assets or the business of any of the Companies are sold or transferred. The obligations of Executive are personal to
Executive and shall not be assigned by Executive. The Companies may assign its rights under this Agreement to any affiliate of the Companies that employs Executive. 
 9. Severability. It is expressly agreed that if any restrictions set forth in this Agreement are found by any court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable because they are too broad in any respect, then and in
each such case, the remaining provisions herein contained shall, nevertheless, remain effective, and this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall be considered to be amended, so as to be considered reasonable and enforceable by such court, and the
court shall specifically have the right to restrict the time period or the business or geographical scope of such restrictions to any portion of the time period, business or geographic areas to the extent the court deems such restriction to be
necessary to cause the covenants to be enforceable and, in such event, the covenants shall be enforced to the extent so permitted and the remaining provisions shall be unaffected thereby. In such event, the parties hereto agree to execute all
documents necessary to evidence such amendment so as to eliminate or modify any such unreasonable provision in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement insofar as possible and to render this Agreement enforceable in all respects as so
modified. The covenants contained in this Section 9 shall be construed to extend to separate jurisdictions or subjurisdictions of the United States in which the Companies, during the term of Executive’s employment, have been or are engaged
in business, and to the extent that any such covenant shall be illegal and/or unenforceable with respect to any jurisdiction, said covenant shall not be affected thereby with respect to each other jurisdiction, such covenants with respect to each
jurisdiction being construed as severable and independent. Any covenant on Executive’s part contained hereinabove, which may not be specifically enforceable, shall nevertheless, if breached, give rise to a cause of action for monetary damages.
The restrictive covenant provisions of this Agreement shall govern to the extent there is any conflict between their terms and the terms of any other agreement or understanding with the Companies. 
 10. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered
personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission) or (iii) one Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of
receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other 

 
address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an
opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 
 Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or Parent may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer or Parent stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer or Parent, as applicable, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous. 
 Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates,
statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 
 Section
1.05 Acts of Holders. 
 (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein
otherwise 

  

 22 

 
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Issuer or Parent. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Issuer and Parent, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

 (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a
witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where
such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the
authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient. 
 (c)
The principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register. 
 (d) If the Issuer or Parent shall solicit from the Holders of Notes any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, such Obligor may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but such Obligor shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA
Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith
and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of
record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date
shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date. 
 (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

  

 23 

 Section 1.06 Notices, Etc. to Trustee, Obligors. 
 Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, 
 (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by an Obligor shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (including facsimile) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or 
 (2) an Obligor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing (including facsimile) and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the such Obligor addressed to
it at 7901 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 900, McLean, Virginia 22102, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Issuer. 
 Section 1.07 Notice to Holders; Waiver. 
 Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to
Holders by the Issuer, Parent or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his or her address as
it appears in the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by
such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and
such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
 In case by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail
notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice for every purpose hereunder. 
 Section 1.08 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein
and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 
 Section 1.09 Successors and
Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by an Obligor shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 
  

 24 

 Section 1.10 Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 
 Section 1.11 Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar and their
successors hereunder, and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 
 Section 1.12
Governing Law. This Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. Upon the issuance of Exchange Notes, if any, or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, this
Indenture will be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. Each of the parties hereto submits to the jurisdiction of the
U.S. federal and any New York state court located in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York with respect to any actions brought against it as defendant in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relative to this Indenture or
the Notes and waives any rights to which it may be entitled on account of place of residence or domicile. 
 EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE
GUARANTORS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 Section 1.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, sinking fund
payment date or Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be. 
 Section 1.14 Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of
utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as
practicable under the circumstances.

 With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the Closing Date (except for

Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or any indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of such Additional Notes. 
 The Initial Notes shall be known as the “14.25% Senior Secured Notes Due 2011” and the Exchange Notes shall be known as the
“14.25% Series B Senior Secured Notes Due 2011,” in each case, of the Issuer. The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be May 20, 2011, and the Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 14.25% per annum from the Issuance
Date, or from the 

  

 29 

 
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable semi-annually on May 31 and November 30 in each
year, commencing on May 31, 2007, and at said Stated Maturity, until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for. 
 With respect
to Global Notes only, if a Holder has given wire instructions to the Issuer, the Issuer will pay all principal of (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest on such Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions.
Otherwise, the principal of (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the
Issuer as may be maintained for such purpose; provided, however, that, at the option of the Issuer, interest may be paid by check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Note Register.

 The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article XI. 
 Section 3.02 Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof; provided that Notes issued to a

future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes. 
 Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures
of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold
such offices at the date of such Notes. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer
may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Notes. 
 At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Initial Notes executed
by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Initial Notes directing the Trustee to authenticate the Notes and certifying that all conditions precedent to the issuance of
Notes contained herein have been fully complied with, and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Initial Notes. On Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for original issue Exchange Notes;
provided that such Exchange Notes shall be issuable only upon the valid surrender for cancellation of Initial Notes of a like aggregate 

  

 30 

 
principal amount in accordance with an Exchange Offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and an Issuer Order for the authentication of such
securities certifying that all conditions precedent to the issuance have been complied with (including the effectiveness of a registration statement related thereto). In each case, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer that it may reasonably request in connection with such authentication of Notes. Such order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Initial
Notes or Exchange Notes is to be authenticated. 
 Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate
of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Exhibit A, duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 In case the Issuer, pursuant to
Article VIII, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such
consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Issuer shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto
with the Trustee pursuant to Article VIII, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged
for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the
Trustee, upon Issuer Request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person
pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time
Outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name. 
 Section 3.04 Temporary Note. 
 Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes. 
 If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall 

  

 31 

 
be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for such purpose pursuant to
Section 10.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes. 
 Section 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. 
 The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.02 being
herein sometimes referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be
in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times, the Note Register shall be open to inspection by the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as security
registrar (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. 
 Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 10.02, the Issuer shall execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 
 At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so
surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive; provided that no exchange of Initial Notes for
Exchange Notes shall occur until an Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer confirming that the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission and that the Initial Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes shall be canceled by the Trustee. 
 All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
 Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange shall be duly endorsed and be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  

 32 

 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Notes, but
the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06,
10.10, 10.17 or 11.08 not involving any transfer. 
 The Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed under Section 11.04 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of the relevant notice
of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 Section 3.06 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. 
 (a) Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary
and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.02. 
 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent
Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the
Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee,
from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of
a Holder of any Note. 
 (b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in
part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (i) as otherwise set forth in Section 3.07 and (ii) Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests
in the Global Note, in the event that (A) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Note or the Depositary ceases to be a “Clearing Agency” registered under the
Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days or (B) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause issuance of the Notes in the form of permanent certificated Notes. Interests of
beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 3.07. In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to
clause (ii) of this paragraph (b), the applicable Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified
by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount at maturity of Physical Notes of authorized denominations. 
  

 33 

 (c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person
who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the other Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer
restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 
 (d) Any Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall, unless such change is made on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date and
except as otherwise provided in Section 3.07, bear the Private Placement Legend. 
 (e) The registered holder of a Global
Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
 (f) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. 
 Section 3.07 Transfer Provisions. 
 (a) General. The provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to all transfers involving any Physical Note and any beneficial interest in any Global Note. 
 (b) Certain Definitions. As used in this Section 3.07 only, “delivery” of a certificate by a transferee or
transferor means the delivery to the Note Registrar by such transferee or transferor of the applicable certificate duly completed; “holding” includes both possession of a Physical Note and ownership of a beneficial interest in a Global
Note, as the context requires; “transferring” a Global Note means transferring that portion of the principal amount of the transferor’s beneficial interest therein that the transferor has notified the Note Registrar that it has agreed
to transfer; and “transferring” a Physical Note means transferring that portion of the principal amount thereof that the transferor has notified the Note Registrar that it has agreed to transfer. 
 As used in this Indenture, “Non-Registration Opinion and Supporting Evidence” means a written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Issuer to the effect that, and such other certification or information as the Issuer may reasonably require to confirm that, the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 (c) Procedures and Requirements. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, (A) transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 3.06 and Section 3.07(c)(i) below, (B) transfers or exchanges of a beneficial interest

or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Physical Note
that is issued in exchange for a Global Note. No transfer of a Global Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this
Section 3.07(c)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 3.07. 
 (ii) Transfer or Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note for a Beneficial Interest in the Same or Another Global Note.

 (1) A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global
Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a request to transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary therefor for a
beneficial interest in another Global Note, together with:

the form set forth in Exhibit C; 
 (B) written instructions to the Trustee to make, or direct the Registrar to make, in the
case of a transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect a decrease and increase in the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary accounts to be credited with such decrease and increase; and 
 (C) so long as such Notes are Restricted Notes, if such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration and the Issuer
or the Trustee so requests, a Non-Registration Opinion and Supporting Evidence, 
 then the Trustee, (x) shall cause, or direct the Registrar to cause,
in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the appropriate Global Note to be decreased by the aggregate principal amount
that the other Global Note is increased and (y) in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar and the procedures for the Depositary therefor, shall debit and credit or cause to be
debited or credited, 

  

 35 

 
as appropriate, to the accounts of the persons specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note or Global Notes, as appropriate, equal
to the amount of the beneficial interests so transferred or exchanged. 
 (2) Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be
transferred to Persons who take delivery in the same Global Note in accordance with the procedures for the Depositary therefor and, if the Global Note is a Restricted Note, in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private
Placement Legend. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar or the Trustee to effect the transactions described in this Section 3.07(c)(ii)(2).

books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with
such decrease; and 
 (3) so long as such Notes are Restricted Notes, if such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption
from registration and the Issuer or the Trustee so requests, a Non-Registration Opinion and Supporting Evidence, 
 then the Trustee shall cause, or direct
the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note to be decreased by the aggregate
principal amount of the Physical Note to be issued, shall issue such Physical Note and shall debit or cause to be debited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal
amount of the Physical Note so issued. 
  

 36 

 (iv) Transfer and Exchange of Physical Notes. When Physical Notes are presented to
the Registrar with a request: 
 (x) to register the transfer of such Physical Notes; or 
 (y) to exchange such Physical Notes for an equal principal amount of Physical Notes of other authorized denominations, 
 the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however,
that the Physical Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange: 
 (1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and 
 (2) so long as such Notes are Restricted Notes, such Notes are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable: 
 (A) if such Physical Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without

 (B) if such Physical Notes are being transferred to the
Issuer, a certification to that effect; or 
 (C) if such Physical Notes are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from

 (v) Transfer of a Physical Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Physical Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial
interest in a Global Note except upon receipt by the Trustee of the Physical Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with: 
 (1) so long as the Notes are Restricted Notes, certification, in the form set forth in Exhibit C, that such Physical Note is being
transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, or to an institutional accredited investor within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D of the Securities Act; and 
  

 37 

 (2) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to
make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary
account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Physical Note and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar,
the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Physical Note to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such
instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Physical Note so cancelled. If no Global Notes are then Outstanding, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon an Issuer Order, a new
Global Note in the appropriate principal amount. 
 (d) Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Physical Notes. In
any case in which the Note Registrar is required to deliver a Physical Note to a transferee or transferor, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, such Physical Note. 
 (e) Certain Additional Terms Applicable to Physical Notes. Any transferee entitled to receive a Physical Note may request that the
principal amount thereof be evidenced by one or more Physical Notes in any authorized denomination or denominations the Note Registrar shall comply with such request if all other transfer restrictions are satisfied. 
 (f) Transfers Not Covered by Section 3.07(c). The Note Registrar shall effect and record, upon receipt of a written request
from the Issuer so to do, a transfer not otherwise permitted by Section 3.07(c), such recording to be done in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of Section 3.07(c), upon the furnishing by the proposed transferor or
transferee of a Non-Registration Opinion and Supporting Evidence. 
 (g) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing
the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in the
Indenture. The Note Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture. The Note Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may conclusively
rely upon a determination made by the Issuer) the sufficiency or accuracy of any such certifications, legal opinions, other information or document. 
 Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Issuer and the 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 law. 
  

 38 

 (h) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes
not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Note Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Note Registrar shall
deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is at least two years after the original issue date of the Initial Note (with respect to any Physical Note), (ii) there is delivered to the Note
Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities
Act or (iii) such Notes are exchanged for Exchange Notes pursuant to an Exchange Offer. 
 Section 3.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
and Stolen Notes. 
 If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or (ii) the Issuer and the Trustee receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of written
notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
 In case
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. 
 Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.08, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and shall require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 
 Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.08 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Notes duly issued hereunder. 
 The provisions of this Section 3.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other
rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. 
 Section 3.09 Payment of
Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. 
 Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, with respect to Global Notes only, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the 

  

 39 

 
account specified by such Persons or, if no such account is specified, or with respect to all Notes other than Global Notes, at the office or agency of the
Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.02; provided, however , that each installment of interest may at the Issuer’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the
written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 3.10, to the address of such Person as it appears in the Note Register or (ii) transferring the interest payment to an account located in the United States maintained by the
payee. 
 Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted
interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 
 (1) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective
Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted
Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
provided. Thereupon the Issuer, with the written consent of the Trustee, shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 1.06, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having
been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
following clause (2). 
 (2) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent
with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such
manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 
 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall 

  

 40 

 
carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 
 Section 3.10 Persons Deemed Owners Prior to the due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of
the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.09) interest on such Note
and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 Section 3.11 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to, and promptly cancelled by, the Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Issuer shall so acquire any of the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered
to the Trustee for cancellation. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be
disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and certification of their disposal delivered to the Issuer unless by Issuer Order the Issuer shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it after being appropriately
designated as cancelled. 
 Section 3.12 Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. 
 Section 3.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption or other notices to Holders as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers and other identifying information printed on the Notes, and any such
redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers. 
 In the event that the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate any Additional Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer shall use its best efforts to obtain the same CUSIP number for such Additional
Notes as is printed on the Notes outstanding at such time; provided, however, that if any series of Additional Notes is determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel, to be a different class of security than the Notes outstanding at
such time for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer may obtain a CUSIP number for such series of Additional Notes that is 

  

 41 

 
different from the CUSIP number printed on the Notes then outstanding, in which event such Additional Notes shall be deemed to be a different series from the
Notes issued on the date hereof. 
 ARTICLE IV

Indenture shall upon Issuer Request cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto) and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall

 44 

 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(8) or 5.01(9))
occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any,
and accrued but unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration of acceleration, such
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(8) or 5.01(9) occurs, then the principal amount of, premium, if any,
and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 
 At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes Outstanding, by written notice

 (2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest
and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13; and 
 (3) the rescission, in the Opinion of Counsel, would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because of an Event of Default specified
in Section 5.01(6) shall have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or the holders thereof
have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such 

  

 45 

 
Indebtedness, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by Parent or the Issuer and
countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 60 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 60-day period
which has not been cured or waived during such period. 
 Section 5.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. 
 The Issuer covenants that if: 
 (a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

 (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof,

 the Issuer will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and
premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest and Additional
Interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, fees expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06. 
 If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts
forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce
the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 Section 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case
of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Issuer or
of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any
demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal, 

  

 46 

 
premium, if any, interest or Additional Interest, if any) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 
 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such 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, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 
 (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official 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 the Trustee any amount due 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 6.06. 
 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

 Section 5.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 Section 5.06 Application of Money Collected. Any money
collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article, or any money otherwise distributable in respect of the Issuer’s or the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by
the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any, or Additional Interest, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and
upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 
 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06; 
 SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest on the Notes in
respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any 

  

 47 

 
kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest, respectively; and

 THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. 
 Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or, premium, if any, or interest or Additional
Interest, if any, when due, no Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (2) such Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 (3) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that
is inconsistent with the request; 
 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of,
or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are
unduly prejudicial to such Holders), or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the
Holders. 
 Section 5.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein (including, if applicable, Article XIV) and in such Note of the principal of (and premium and
Additional Interest, if any) and (subject to Section 3.09) interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
 Section 5.09 Restoration of Rights and
Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to 

  

 48 

 
any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.08, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
remedy. 
 Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 
 Section 5.12 Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall 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, provided that 
 (1) such direction shall not be in conflict
with any rule of law or with this Indenture, 
 (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction, and 
 (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or which, in
the good faith determination of the Trustee, may be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not consenting. 
 Section 5.13 Waiver of Past
Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default 
 (1) in respect of the payment of the principal of (or premium or Additional Interest, if any) or interest on any Note, or 
 (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected. 
 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 

  

 49 

 
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Section 5.14 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the
Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 Section 5.15 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 attorney’s fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 5.15 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.08 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then
Outstanding Notes.

Federal, State, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.07, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article.

Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
  

 55 

 (d) If at any time: 
 (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 
 (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible
under Section 6.07 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or 
 (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
 then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer, by a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any
cause, the Issuer, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and
supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 (f) The Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to the
Holders of Notes in the manner provided for in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. 
 Section 6.09 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Issuer and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Issuer shall 

  

 56 

 
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

 No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and
eligible under this Article. 
 Section 6.10 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which
the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all
of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of
authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its
successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

 The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside of The City of New York) where the
Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind any such designation; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency in The City of New York for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 Section 10.03 Money for Note Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Issuer shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on
or before each due date of the principal of (or premium or Additional Interest, if any) or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of (or premium

agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: 
 (1) hold all sums held by

the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of
obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Issuer or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Issuer or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
sums. 
 Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of
(or premium or Additional Interest, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, Additional Interest or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request, or (if
then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of
the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuer from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Issuer, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its
Subsidiaries and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 
 Section 10.07 Insurance. The Issuer will at all times
keep all of its and its Subsidiaries’ properties which are of an insurable nature insured with insurers, believed by the Issuer to be responsible, against loss or damage to the extent that property of similar character is usually so insured by

supply at Group’s cost copies of such reports and documents to any prospective Holder promptly upon request.

deemed, in each case, to constitute the incurrence of such Indebtedness; and provided further that Indebtedness to a Restricted Person or Parent (other than to the Issuer or to any Subsidiary Guarantor) must be subordinated in right of
payment to the Notes or any applicable Guarantee, as the case may be; 
 (iv) Indebtedness of any Restricted Person issued in
exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refinance or refund, then outstanding Indebtedness of a Restricted Person, other than Indebtedness Incurred under clauses (i), (iii), (v), (viii), (ix) and (x) of this paragraph, and
any refinancings thereof in an amount not to exceed the amount so refinanced or refunded (plus premiums, accrued interest, and reasonable fees and expenses); provided that such new Indebtedness shall only be permitted under this clause
(iv) if 
 (A) in case the Notes are refinanced in part or the Indebtedness to be refinanced is pari passu with
the Notes or any applicable Guarantee, such new Indebtedness, by its terms or by the terms of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such new Indebtedness is issued or remains outstanding, is expressly made pari passu with, or
subordinate in right of payment to, the remaining Notes or the applicable Guarantee, 
 (B) in case the Indebtedness to be
refinanced is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any applicable Guarantee, such new Indebtedness, by its terms or by the terms of any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such new Indebtedness is issued or remains outstanding, is
made subordinate expressly in right of payment to the Notes or the applicable Guarantee at least to the extent that the Indebtedness to 

  

 69 

 
be refinanced is subordinated to the Notes and the applicable Guarantee, and 
 (C) such new Indebtedness, determined as of the date of Incurrence of such new Indebtedness, does not mature prior to the Stated Maturity
of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or refunded, and the Average Life of such new Indebtedness is at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness to be refinanced or refunded; and provided further that in no event may
Indebtedness of the Issuer be refinanced by means of any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer pursuant to this clause (iv); 
 (v) Indebtedness of Parent or any Restricted Person: 
 (A) in respect of performance, bid,
surety or appeal bonds, completion guarantees or guarantees or warranty of contractual service obligations provided in the ordinary course of business, and letters of credit or banker’s acceptances supporting Trade Payables or covering
workers’ compensation, errors and omissions insurance, bid and performance, appeal or similar obligations, in each case provided in the ordinary course of business; 
 (B) under Currency Agreements and Interest Rate Agreements; provided that such agreements: 
 (a) are designed solely to protect any Restricted Person against fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates, and

 (b) do not increase the Indebtedness of the obligor outstanding at any time other than as a result of fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates or by reason of fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder; and 
 (C) arising from agreements providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, or from Guarantees or letters of credit, surety bonds or performance bonds securing any obligations of any Restricted Person
pursuant to such agreements, in any case Incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Person (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or
Restricted Person for the purpose of financing such acquisition), in a principal 

  

 70 

 amount not to exceed the gross proceeds actually received by any Restricted Person in
connection with such 
 disposition; 
 (vi) Indebtedness of any Restricted Person, as applicable, to the extent that the net proceeds thereof promptly are 
 (A) used to repurchase, (x) in the case of Indebtedness of the Issuer, Notes tendered in a Change of Control Offer, or (y) in
the case of Indebtedness of a Restricted Person (other than the Issuer), any of the debt securities of that or another Restricted Person (other than the Issuer) tendered pursuant to a change of control offer similar to a Change of Control Offer, or

 (B) deposited to defease all, (x) in the case of Indebtedness of the Issuer, of the Notes as described under Article
XIV, or (y) in the case of Indebtedness of a Restricted Person (other than the Issuer), of the debt securities of that or another Restricted Person (other than the Issuer) of a particular series pursuant to a comparable provision in such
securities; 
 (vii) Acquired Indebtedness not to exceed $100 million at any one time outstanding; provided that, as a
result of such incurrence, in the case of Acquired Indebtedness incurred by any Restricted Person, the Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio at the time of the incurrence of such Acquired Indebtedness and calculated giving pro forma effect to
such incurrence (in accordance with the definition of “Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio”) and the related Asset Acquisition as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended two fiscal quarters,
would have been less than, in the case of Acquired Indebtedness incurred directly by any Restricted Person, the Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio for the same period without giving pro forma effect to such incurrence and Asset
Acquisition; 
 (viii) Indebtedness of Parent or a Restricted Person represented by a Guarantee of the Notes and any other
Indebtedness permitted by and made in accordance with Section 8.03 or Section 10.18; 
 (ix) Indebtedness of any
Restricted Person not otherwise permitted hereunder in an aggregate principal amount which, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and incurred by any Restricted Person pursuant to this clause (ix), does
not exceed (A) $200 million at any one time outstanding minus (B) the outstanding amount of Notes issued on the date hereof; and 
 (x) Indebtedness of any Restricted Person arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check or similar 

  

 71 

 
instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided
that such Indebtedness is extinguished within three business days of Incurrence. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 10.11, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that a Restricted Person may Incur pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall not be deemed to be exceeded with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the result of
fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. 
 (d) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness
under this Section 10.11, Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit, in each case supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount, shall not be included. For purposes of
determining compliance with this Section 10.11, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in the above clauses, Parent in its sole discretion, shall classify and from
time to time may reclassify such item of Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses. Indebtedness permitted by this Section 10.11 need not be permitted solely by reference to one
provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 10.11 permitting such Indebtedness. 
 Section 10.12 Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Persons directly or indirectly to:

 72 

 (iv) make any Investment, other than a Permitted Investment, in any Person (such payments
or any other actions described in clauses (i) through (iv) being collectively “Restricted Payments”); 
 if, at the time of, and
after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment: 
 (A) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

 (B) The Restricted Persons could not Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraph (a) of Section 10.11; or 

(C) the aggregate amount expended for all Restricted Payments (the amount so expended, if other than in cash, to be determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of Group, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution) after the date of this Indenture shall exceed the sum of: 
 (1) the remainder of 
 (a) 100% of the aggregate amount of the Consolidated Cash Flow (determined by excluding income resulting from transfers of assets received by a Restricted Person from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of, if either Parent is not a Restricted
Person, such Parent) accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) beginning on the first day of Parent’s fourth fiscal quarter in 1999 and ending on the last day of the last full fiscal quarter preceding the
Transaction Date, minus 
 (b) the product of 1.75 times cumulative Consolidated Fixed Charges accrued on a cumulative basis
during the period (taken as one accounting period) beginning on the first day of Parent’s fourth fiscal quarter in 1999 and ending on the last day of the last full fiscal quarter preceding the Transaction Date, plus 
 (2) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by Parent on or after October 15, 1999 from the issuance and sale of its Capital Stock
(other than Redeemable Stock) to a Person who is not a Subsidiary, plus

after October 15, 1999 by Parent from the issuance or sale of debt securities that have been converted into or exchanged for its Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) together with the aggregate cash received by Parent at the time of such
conversion or exchange, plus 
 (4) without duplication of any amount included in the calculation of Consolidated Cash Flow,
in the case of repayment of, or return of capital in respect of, any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment made on or after October 15, 1999 and reducing the amount of Restricted Payments otherwise permitted under this clause (C), an
amount equal to the lesser of the return of 

  

 73 

 
capital with respect to such Investment and the cost of such Investment, in either case less the cost of the disposition of such Investment. 
 The foregoing provision shall not be violated by reason of: 
 (a) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof if, at said date of declaration, such payment would comply with the foregoing paragraph; 
 (b) the redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of a Restricted

the date of, such repurchase, redemption or other acquisition; 
 (d) the redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other
acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of any Obligor (including premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest) with the proceeds of, or in exchange for, an offering of, shares of Capital Stock of Group (other than
Redeemable Stock), which proceeds are received or which Subordinated Indebtedness is exchanged, surrendered or tendered, as the case may be, no more than 60 days prior to, and no later than the date of, such redemption, repurchase, defeasance or
other acquisition or retirement for value; 
 (e) payments or distributions to dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable
law, pursuant to or in connection with a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets that complies, if applicable, with the provisions of this Indenture applicable to mergers, consolidations and transfers of all or substantially all of the property
and assets of the Restricted Persons; 
 (f) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares issued in connection
with the exercise of warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or the conversion of securities convertible into, Capital Stock of any Restricted Person;

of any Obligor at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest, if any, thereof in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to Section 10.10;
provided that prior to such purchase the Issuer has made the Change of Control offer as provided in such covenant with 

  

 74 

 
respect to the Notes and has purchased all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer; 
 (i) if Group is a Restricted Person, repurchases of Capital Stock of Group, options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital

 (l) other Restricted Payments not to exceed $20.0 million in the aggregate during any
calendar year (with the entire unused amount in any calendar year, including previously carried over amounts, being permitted to be carried over for the next succeeding calendar year); provided, that such amount in any calendar year may be
increased by an amount equal to Unclaimed Excess Proceeds (with the entire unused amount in any calendar year, including previously carried over amounts, being permitted to be carried over for the next succeeding calendar year); provided,
further that upon the making of any such Restricted Payment (i) the Indebtedness to Consolidated Cash Flow Ratio, calculated giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment as if the same had been made at the beginning of the most
recently ended two fiscal quarters, would be greater than zero and equal to or less than 1.5 to 1 or, if Group is, at the time of determination, a Restricted Person, 3.0 to 1; and 
 (m) the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions to holders of any class or series of Redeemable Stock of any Restricted
Person issued or incurred in accordance with Section 10.11, 
 provided that, except in the case of clause (a), no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or occur as a consequence of the actions or payments set forth therein. 
 Each Restricted Payment
permitted pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (other than (1) a Restricted Payment referred to in clause (b) thereof, (2) an exchange of Capital Stock for Capital Stock or an exchange of Indebtedness for Capital Stock
referred to in clauses (c) or (d) thereof or (3) an exchange of Capital Stock referred to in clause (g) thereof) and the Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of Capital Stock referred to in clauses (c), (d) and (g) shall
be included in calculating whether the conditions of clause (C) of the first paragraph of this Section 10.12 have been met with respect to any subsequent Restricted Payments. 
 Any Restricted Payments made other than in cash shall be valued at Fair Market Value as determined by the Board of Directors of Parent (whose
determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution). The amount of any Investment “outstanding” at any time shall be deemed to be equal to the amount of such Investment on the date made, less the return of 

  

 75 

 
capital, repayment of loans, and release of guarantees, in each case of or to any Restricted Person with respect to such Investment (up to the amount of such
Investment on the date made). 
 Section 10.13 Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted
Subsidiaries. So long as any of the Notes are Outstanding, Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Person to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on
the ability of any Restricted Person to: 
 (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions permitted by applicable law on
any Capital Stock of such Restricted Person owned by Parent or any other Restricted Person; 
 (ii) pay any indebtedness owed
to Parent or any other Restricted Person; 
 (iii) make loans or advances to Parent or any other Restricted Person; or

 (iv) transfer any of its property or assets to Parent or any other Restricted Person. 
 The foregoing provisions shall not restrict any encumbrances or restrictions: 
 (i) existing on the Closing Date in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or any other agreements in effect on the Closing Date, and
any extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements of such agreements; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes than those encumbrances or restrictions that are then in effect and that are being extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced; 
 (ii) contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was issued if the encumbrance or
restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or default with respect to a financial covenant contained in such Indebtedness or agreement and such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the
Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined by the Issuer) and the Issuer determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the
Notes; 
 (iii) existing under or by reason of applicable law; 
 (iv) existing with respect to any Person or the property or assets of such Person acquired by any Restricted Person, existing at the time
of such acquisition and not incurred in contemplation thereof, which encumbrances 

  

 76 

 
or restrictions are not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such Person so
acquired and as the same may be amended, modified, restated, renewed, supplemented, refunded, replaced or refinanced; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings,
taken as a whole, are no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes than those encumbrances or restrictions that are then in effect and that are being so amended, modified, restated, renewed, supplemented, refunded, replaced
or refinanced; 
 (v) in the case of clause (iv) of the first paragraph of this Section 10.13, 
 (A) that restrict in a customary manner the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset that is, or is subject to, a
lease, purchase mortgage obligation, construction financing agreement, license, conveyance or contract or similar property or asset, including, without limitation, customary non-assignment provisions in leases, Purchase Money Obligations and other
similar agreements, in each case with respect to the property or assets subject thereto, 
 (B) existing by virtue of any
transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets of any Restricted Person not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, or 
 (C) arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the
aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of any Restricted Person in any manner material to any Restricted Person; 
 (vi) with respect to a Restricted Person and imposed pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock of, or property and assets of, such Restricted Person; or

 (vii) imposed by customary provisions in joint venture agreements and similar agreements that restrict the transfer of the
interest in the joint venture. 
 Nothing contained in this Section 10.13 shall prevent any Restricted Person from (1) creating,
incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Liens otherwise permitted in Section 10.16 or (2) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of any Restricted Person that secure Indebtedness of any Restricted Person.

  

 77 

 Section 10.14 Limitation on the Issuance and Sale of Voting Stock of Restricted Persons. Group
shall at all times own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Voting Stock of the Issuer. Issuer will not sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of and will not permit any Restricted Person, directly or indirectly, to issue, transfer, convey,
sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any shares of Voting Stock (including options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of such Voting Stock) of a Restricted Person to any Person except: 
 (i) to Parent or a Restricted Person; 
 (ii) issuances of director’s qualifying shares, sales to foreign nationals or directors or employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries of shares of Voting Stock of non-U.S. Restricted Persons to the extent required
by law or to the extent such issuances are required to obtain preferential treatment under law that does not adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect; 
 (iii) Voting Stock or options or other rights to acquire shares of Voting Stock (or shares of Voting Stock issued upon exercise of such
options or other rights) granted to employees or directors of no more than two Restricted Persons designated by Group and identified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (“Designated Subsidiaries”), pursuant to
the terms of any management equity or compensation plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or other similar agreement or arrangement; provided, that such Voting Stock, options and other rights to acquire
shares, together with the issuance of shares of Voting Stock upon the exercise thereof, shall not represent more than 5.0% of the fully diluted Voting Stock of such Restricted Person; provided further, that if and only if any Designated
Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of Parent, Parent may designate another Restricted Person in its place by identifying that Restricted Person in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and that Restricted Person shall thereupon be
deemed a Designated Subsidiary for all purposes under this Indenture; and 
 (iv) issuances and sales of Voting Stock of
Restricted Persons if: 
 (A) the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition
are applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.17, and 
 (B) immediately after giving effect to such
issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition, such Restricted Person either continues to be a Restricted Person or, if such Restricted Person would no longer constitute a Restricted Person, then any Investment in such Person
remaining after giving effect to such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition would have been permitted to be made under 

  

 78 

 
Section 10.12 if made on the date of such issuance, transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition (valued as provided in the definition of
“Investment”). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent or any Restricted Person may sell all of the Voting Stock of a
Restricted Person in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.17. 
 Section 10.15 Limitation on Transactions with Shareholders
and Affiliates. Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Person, directly or indirectly, to enter into, renew or extend any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or
the rendering of any service) with any holder (or any Affiliate of such holder) of 10% or more of any class of Capital Stock of Parent or with any Affiliate of Parent, unless: 
 (i) such transaction or series of transactions is on terms no less favorable to such Restricted Person than those that could be obtained
in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not such a holder or an Affiliate; 
 (ii) if such
transaction or series of transactions involves aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, then such transaction or series of transactions is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of Group, including the approval of a majority of
the independent, disinterested directors, and is evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of Group; and 
 (iii) if
such transaction or series of transactions involves aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, then Issuer or such Restricted Person will deliver to the Trustee a written opinion as to the fairness to such Restricted Person of such
transaction from a financial point of view from a nationally recognized investment banking firm (or, if an investment banking firm is generally not qualified to give such an opinion, by a nationally recognized appraisal firm or accounting firm). Any
such transaction or series of transactions shall be conclusively deemed to be on terms no less favorable to Parent or such Restricted Person than those that could be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction if such transaction or transactions
are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of Group, including a majority of the independent, disinterested directors, and are evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of Group. 
 The foregoing limitation does not limit, and will not apply to: 
 (a) any transaction between Parent and a Subsidiary of Parent or between a Restricted Person and a Subsidiary of Parent; 
 (b) the payment of reasonable and customary regular fees to directors of Parent or any Restricted Person who are not its employees and
Indemnification Arrangements entered into by Parent or any Restricted Person and approved by the Board of Directors of Group; 
  

 79 

 (c) any Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 10.12 and any Permitted
Investment other than a Permitted Investment made pursuant to clause (ix) of the definition thereof; 
 (d) transactions
provided for in the Employment Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date; 
 (e) loans and advances to employees of Parent or
any Restricted Person not exceeding at any one time outstanding $5.0 million in the aggregate, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with past practice; 
 (f) any issuance of shares of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) of Group and any options, warrants or other rights to acquire
such Capital Stock; 
 (g) any issuance or sale of shares of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) of a Designated
Subsidiary and any options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock, in each case made in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 10.14; 
 (h) any employment arrangements entered into by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and
approved by the Board of Directors of Parent; and 
 (i) any tax-sharing agreement, and payments or other transactions
pursuant thereto, between Group and any other Person with which Group files a consolidated tax return or with which Group is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes, in each case approved by the Board of Directors of Group. 
 Section 10.16 Limitation on Liens. Under the terms of this Indenture, Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Person to, create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its assets or properties of any character (including, without limitation, licenses and trademarks), or any shares of Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted
Person. 
 Section 10.17 Limitation on Asset Sales. Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Person to, make any Asset Sale
unless (i) the Restricted Person, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such sale or other disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or disposed of as determined by the good-faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of Group, which determination, in each case where such Fair Market Value is greater than $10.0 million, will be evidenced by a Board Resolution and (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received for such sale or other
disposition consists of cash or cash equivalents, Marketable Securities or the assumption of First Lien Indebtedness. 
 Issuer shall, or
shall cause the relevant Restricted Person to, within 360 days after the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, (i) (A) apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds to permanently reduce, repay, redeem or
repurchase unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Person that is not a Guarantor, in each case owing to a Person other than any Restricted Person; provided that if such First Lien Indebtedness (other than secured
Indebtedness under any Credit Facility) is pari passu with the Notes, then the 

  

 80 

 
Issuer will ratably reduce, repay, redeem or repurchase Indebtedness under the Notes, or (B) invest an equal amount, or the amount not so applied
pursuant to clause (A), in long-term property or assets of a nature or type or that are used in a business (or in a company having property and assets of a nature or type, or engaged in a business) similar or related to the nature or type of the
property and assets of, or the business of, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the date of such investment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Group, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by
a Board Resolution) and (ii) apply (no later than the end of the 360-day period referred to above) such excess Net Cash Proceeds (to the extent not applied pursuant to clause (i)) as provided in the following paragraphs of this
Section 10.17. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied (or to be committed to be applied) during such 360-day period referred to above in the preceding sentence and not applied as so required by the end of such period shall
constitute “Excess Proceeds.” 
 If, as of the first day of any calendar month, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not
theretofore subject to an Excess Proceeds Offer (as defined below) totals at least $15.0 million, the Issuer must, not later than the 45th Business Day thereafter, make an offer (an Excess Proceeds Offer) to purchase from the Holders on a pro rata
basis an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the Proportionate Share of the Excess Proceeds on such date, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
purchase (the “Excess Proceeds Payment”). 
 The Issuer shall commence an Excess Proceeds Offer by mailing a notice to the
Trustee and each Holder, identifying the Notes by CUSIP number and stating: 
 (i) that the Excess Proceeds Offer is being
made pursuant to this Section 10.17 and that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment on a pro rata basis; 
 (ii) the purchase price and the date of purchase (which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Excess Proceeds Payment Date”); 
 (iii) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest pursuant to its terms; 
 (iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Excess Proceeds Payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Excess
Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Excess Proceeds Payment Date; 
 (v) that Holders electing to
have a Note purchased pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Note, together with the form entitled “Option of the Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse side of the Note completed, to the Paying
Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Excess Proceeds Payment Date; 
 (vi) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Excess Proceeds Payment Date, a
facsimile transmission or letter setting 

  

 81 

 
forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such
Notes purchased; and 
 (vii) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. 
 On the Excess Proceeds Payment Date, the Issuer shall: 
 (i) accept for payment on a pro rata basis Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer up to the Proportionate Share of such Excess Proceeds; 
 (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted; and

 (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee all Notes or portions thereof so accepted together with an
Officer’s Certificate specifying the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Issuer. 
 The Paying Agent promptly shall
mail to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall upon Issuer Order promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the
Note surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Excess Proceeds Offer as soon as
practicable after the Excess Proceeds Payment Date. For purposes of this Section 10.17, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. 
 The Issuer will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable, in the event that Issuer receives such Excess Proceeds under this
Section 10.17 and is required to repurchase Notes as described above. 
 Section 10.18 Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees of
Indebtedness by Restricted Persons. 
 (a) Issuer will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or
indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Indebtedness of any Obligor, other than Indebtedness under Credit Facilities incurred under clause (i) or (ix) of paragraph (b) of
Section 10.11. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor may provide by its terms
that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) any sale, exchange or transfer, to any Person not an Affiliate of Group, of all of Group’s and each Restricted Person’s Capital Stock in, or all or
substantially all of the assets of, such 

  

 82 

 
Restricted Subsidiary (which sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture), (ii) the designation of such Restricted Person as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, or (iii) the release or discharge of the guarantee which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee.

 (c) The Issuer will cause each Subsidiary that is a domestic Restricted Person that guarantees, assumes or in any other
manner become liable with respect to the First Lien Term Loan or any Other First Lien Indebtedness to, at the same time, execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto and to grant a Lien under the
Collateral Documents on substantially all of its assets to the extent not already subject to the Lien under the Collateral Documents. 
 Section 10.19 Business of Parent. Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Person to, be principally engaged in any business or activity other than a Permitted Business. 
 Section 10.20 Limitations on Layering of Indebtedness. The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is, or purports
to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness), subordinate or junior in right of payment to any senior debt of the Issuer and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes. No Guarantor shall, directly or
indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is, or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness), subordinate or junior in right of payment to any senior debt of such Guarantor and senior in any respect in
right of payment to such Guarantor’s Guarantee. No Restricted Person shall, directly or indirectly, grant a Lien to any creditor on an Indebtedness other than the First Lien Term Loan Credit Facility or any Other First Lien Indebtedness which
Lien is, or purports to be by its terms (or by terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness), subordinate or junior to or having a lesser priority than the First Liens and senior in any respect or having priority over the Secured Note Lien.
For purposes hereof, unsecured Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be subordinate or junior to secured Indebtedness solely because it is unsecured, and Indebtedness that is not guaranteed by a particular Person shall not be deemed to be subordinate
or junior to Indebtedness that is guaranteed by such Person solely because it is not so guaranteed. 
 Section 10.21 No Impairment of
Security Interest. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the
Collateral for the benefit of the Holders; provided that the release of Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security interests granted hereunder or under the
Collateral Documents. 
 Section 10.22 Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Issuer or any Guarantor may omit in any particular instance to
comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 8.03 or Sections 10.07 through 10.21, inclusive, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes,
by Act of such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or 

  

 83 

 
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuer and each Guarantor and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 
 ARTICLE XI

 REDEMPTION OF NOTES 
 Section 11.01 Right of Redemption. 
 (a) The Notes may be redeemed, at the election of
the Issuer, as a whole or from time to time in part, at any time on or after February 26, 2008, subject to the conditions and at the Redemption Prices specified in the Notes, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to February 26, 2008, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the originally issued aggregate
principal amount of the Notes on one or more occasions with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds have been contributed to the Issuer as common equity, at a redemption price equal to 100.00% of
the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the Redemption Date; provided that, immediately after giving effect to such redemption, at least 65% of the originally issued
aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains Outstanding; and provided further that notice of such redemptions shall be given within 60 days of the date of closing of any such Equity Offering. 
 Section 11.02 Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuer or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision
of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article. 
 Section 11.03 Election to Redeem Notice to

Date fixed by the Issuer (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records
as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11.04. 
 Section 11.04 Selection by Trustee of
Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Notes not previously called for
redemption, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, if the Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of Notes; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount
of a Note not redeemed to less than $1,000. 
  

 84 

 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the
case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
 For all purposes of this Indenture, unless
the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

 Section 11.05 Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided for in Section 1.06 not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed. 
 All notices of redemption shall

 (1) the Redemption Date, 
 (2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.07, if any,

 (3) if less than all Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of a partial redemption,
the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed, 
 (4) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the
notice which relates to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining
unredeemed, 
 (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price (and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to
the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 11.07) will become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion, thereof, to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, and 
 (6) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest and Additional
Interest, if any. 
 Notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the
Issuer’s written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. 
 Section 11.06 Deposit of Redemption
Price. Prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the 

  

 85 

 
Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and Additional Interest, if any, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date. 
 Section 11.07
Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with Additional
Interest and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with Additional Interest and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according
to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.09. 
 If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes. 
 Section 11.08 Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 10.02 (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon Issuer Order authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 GUARANTEES 
 Section 12.01 Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, to each Holder of the Notes and the Trustee the performance and punctual payment
when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal of, or interest or Additional Interest on, the Notes, indemnification or
otherwise (including without limitation interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for
post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). 
  

 86 

 Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to, the Issuer of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the
failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof;
(c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations
or any of them; or (e) any change in the ownership of the Issuer. 
 Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee constitutes a
Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the
failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the
performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such
Guarantor as a matter of law or equity. 
 Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain, in full force and effect until payment in
full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of
the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise. 
 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against each Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Guaranteed
Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in
cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not
prohibited by law). 
  

 87 

 Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the
other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantor Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of the Guarantor Guarantee. 
 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section and such costs and expenses shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations entitled to
the rights and benefits of its Guarantee. 
 Section 12.02 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. 
 (a) To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its
Officers. 
 (b) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 shall remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. 
 (c) If an officer whose
signature is on this 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. 
 (d) 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 12.03 Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

 (a) 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 the 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 each such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after
giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, as the case may be, that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or
payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor, as the 

  

 88 

 
case may be, in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Article XII, result in the obligations of such Guarantor,
as the case may be, under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (b) Each Guarantor will be
deemed released from all its obligations under this Indenture, and its Guarantee and such Guarantee will terminate upon (i) the legal defeasance of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of Article XIV hereof or (ii) the satisfaction and
discharge of the Indenture pursuant to the provisions of Article IV hereof. 
 Section 12.04 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any
payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of
offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such
Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when
all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 ARTICLE XIII 
 COLLATERAL
AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS 
 Section 13.01 Collateral and Security Documents. In order to secure the obligations of the Issuer
and the Subsidiary Guarantors under their respective Guarantees, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors have entered into or shall enter into the Collateral Documents and grant, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders of
the Notes, the Secured Note Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents. The rights and remedies of the Trustee under the Collateral Documents in respect of the Secured Note Liens and the Collateral are
subordinate and subject to the rights and remedies of the holders of the First Liens in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement shall control. 
 (a) Each Holder, by accepting such Note, agrees to all of the terms and provisions
of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions thereof that effect a subordination of the Lien of the Trustee under the Collateral Documents to the First Lien, and authorizes the Trustee to
accept the benefits of, and execute and deliver, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with their respective terms. 
  

 89 

 (b) Neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall, or shall cause or permit any
of its Subsidiaries to, intentionally grant a Lien on any of its Collateral to or for the benefit of the lenders under the First Lien Term Loan Credit Facility or any Other First Lien Indebtedness (including any such grant to any agent or trustee on
their behalf, including, without limitation, the collateral agent under the First Lien Term Loan Collateral Agreement) unless a Lien with respect to such Collateral is granted on substantially the same terms, subject to the Collateral Documents and
the Intercreditor Agreement, in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders. 
 (c) The Issuer and each Subsidiary
Guarantor shall use its best efforts to perfect all Secured Note Liens on the Collateral as soon as practicable, including, without limitation, by filing the appropriate notifications under applicable law. 
 Section 13.02 Opinion of Counsel. So long as the Collateral Documents have not been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, the Issuer
shall deliver to the Trustee, so long as such delivery is required by Section 314(b) of the TIA, promptly after the execution and delivery of this Indenture and, thereafter at least annually, within 30 days after February 26 of each year
(commencing with February 26, 2008), an Opinion of Counsel either stating that in the opinion of such counsel, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, recording and
refiling of this Indenture or any Collateral Document as is necessary to maintain the Secured Note Liens granted thereunder as of such date and during the succeeding 12 months, and reciting the details of such action, or stating that in the opinion
of such counsel, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, no such action is necessary to maintain such Secured Note Liens granted thereunder. 
 Section 13.03 Possession, Use and Release of Collateral. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, the Issuer and each Guarantor shall remain in possession and retain exclusive control of the Collateral
of such Guarantor, if any, securing the Guarantee (other than any cash, securities, obligations and Cash Equivalents constituting part of the Collateral and deposited with the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents and
other than as set forth in the Collateral Documents) to collect, invest and dispose of any income therefrom and to vote pledged shares. 
 (a) Each Holder by accepting such Note, acknowledges that the persons entitled to the benefit of the First Liens or the collateral agent under the First Lien Term Loan Collateral Agreement, as applicable, may
(x) direct such collateral agent (as the person to whom the First Liens are directly granted) to take actions with respect to the Collateral (including the release of the Collateral and the manner of realization) without the consent of the
Holders or the Trustee, (y) agree to modify the Collateral Documents under which the First Liens arise, without the consent of the Holders or the Trustee and (z) accept and enter into additional collateral documents under which First Liens
are granted, in each case to better protect their rights under the First Liens, to secure additional Indebtedness or to add additional secured creditors, provided in each case and to the extent that such actions, modifications or additional
collateral documents do not violate the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
  

 90 

 (b) The parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral may be released
by the Trustee at any time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents and this Indenture or upon the termination of this Indenture and, in any such case, the Collateral so released shall automatically be released as Collateral for
the Notes without any action on the part of the Trustee or the Holders. For the purposes of the TIA, the release of any Collateral from the terms of the Collateral Documents will not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in
contravention of the provisions hereof and of the Collateral Documents if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the Collateral Documents or upon the termination of this Indenture. 
 Section 13.04 Certificates of Issuer. The Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, prior to each proposed release of Collateral, all documents
required by Section 314(d) of the TIA and the Collateral Documents, if any. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Sections 6.01 and 6.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate
statements contained in such documents. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the TIA, if applicable, may be made by an officer of the Issuer or Parent except in cases where Section 314(d) of the TIA requires that such
certificate or opinion be made by an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert within the meaning of Section 314(d) of the TIA. 
 Section 13.05 Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee under the Collateral Documents. 
 (a) The
Trustee shall be the representative on behalf of the Holders and shall act upon the written direction of the Holders with regard to all voting consent and other rights granted to the Holders under the Collateral Documents. Subject to the provisions
of the Collateral Documents, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (a) enforce any of its rights or any of the
rights of the Holders under the Collateral Documents and (b) receive any and all amounts payable from the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents,
the Trustee shall have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Collateral Documents or this
Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits and proceedings to restrain the
enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security
interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee). 
 (b) The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or
omission to act on the part of the Trustee hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement
or assignment contained therein, for 

  

 91 

 
the validity of the title of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or
Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. 
 Section 13.06 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the
Trustee under the Collateral Documents. The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed by the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the
Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 Section 13.07 Release upon Termination of Obligations. 
 (a) If (i) the Issuer delivers an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying that all of its obligations under this Indenture have been satisfied and discharged by complying with the provisions of Article IV hereof, (ii) all outstanding Notes issued under
this Indenture shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, (iii) the release of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents occurs or (iv) any other release of the Collateral as security for
obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors occurs, the Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, for itself and on behalf of all Holders, disclaims and has given up any and all rights it has in or to the
Collateral, and any rights it has under the Collateral Documents, and, upon and after the receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall no longer be deemed to hold the Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Holders. 
 (b) Any release of Collateral made in compliance with this Section 13.07 shall not be
deemed to impair the Lien under the Collateral Documents or the Collateral thereunder in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 
 Section 14.01 Issuer’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option by Board Resolution, at any time,

Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 14.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all its
other 

  

 92 

 
obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following 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 14.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (B) the Issuer’s

the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 14.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 14.03 with respect to the Notes. 
 Section 14.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 14.01 of the option applicable to this Section 14.03, Parent and the Issuer shall be released from their respective
obligations under any covenant contained in Section 8.01(3) and Section 8.03 and in Sections 10.07 through 10.20 with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“covenant defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be “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. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, Parent and the Issuer 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 5.01(5), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. 
 Section 14.04 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following
shall be the conditions to application of either Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 to the Outstanding Notes: 
 (1) The
Issuer shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.07 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article XIV applicable to it) as trust
funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, (A) cash in United States dollars, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations
which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof,
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity (or Redemption Date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any) or

  

 93 

 
installment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the
Outstanding Notes on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Notes; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of
such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the Notes. Before such a deposit, the Issuer may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 11.03 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all of the Outstanding Notes at
a future date in accordance with Article XI hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the foregoing. For this purpose, “U.S. Government Obligations”
means securities that are (x) direct obligations of the United States of America for the timely payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or
instrumentality of the United States of America the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of
the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or
interest on any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount
payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such
depository receipt. 
 (2) No Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit or, insofar as paragraphs (8) and (9) of Section 5.01 hereof are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 123rd day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall
not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 
 (3) [Intentionally Omitted] 
 (4) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material
agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound. 
 (5) In the case
of an election under Section 14.02, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
(y) since February 26, 2007, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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 defeasance had not
occurred. 
  

 94 

 (6) In the case of an election under Section 14.03, the Issuer shall have delivered
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect 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. 
 (7) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 14.02 or the covenant
defeasance under Section 14.03 (as the case may be) have been complied with. 
 Section 14.05 Deposited Money and U.S. Government
Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 14.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of the Outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Governmental Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 14.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article XIV to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Issuer Request any
money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 14.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in
excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article. 
 Section 14.06 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 14.05 by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit
had occurred pursuant to Section 14.02 or 14.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 14.05; provided, however, that if the Issuer
makes any payment of principal of (or premium or Additional Interest, if any) or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment
from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  

 95 

 This Indenture may be signed in any number of counterparts each of which so executed shall be deemed to
be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Indenture.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the day and
year first above written.

 Primus Telecommunications IHC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein called the
“Issuer,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to or registered assigns, the principal sum of United States dollars on May 20, 2011,
at the office or agency of the Issuer referred to below, and to pay interest thereon on May 31, 2007 and semi-annually thereafter, on May 31 and November 30 in each year, from February 26, 2007 or from the most recent Interest
Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, at the rate of 14.25% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for, and (to the extent lawful) to pay on demand interest on any overdue interest at the
rate borne by the Notes from the date on which such overdue interest becomes payable to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 or
November 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record
Date, and such defaulted interest, and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes, may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2007 (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”), among the Issuer, Primus Telecommunications Group, Incorporated, Primus Telecommunications Holding, Inc., the subsidiaries party thereto and the Holders party thereto. In the event that either (i) any of the

(iii) any Registration Statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement is filed and declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or fails to be usable for its intended purpose (in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement referred to in the Registration Rights Agreement, at any time after the Effectiveness Target Date and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement referred to in the Registration Rights Agreement, at any time but subject to certain
permitted suspensions as more fully described in the Registration Rights Agreement) without being succeeded within five Business Days by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is declared effective
within such five Business Day period (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above, a “Registration Default”), additional cash interest (“Additional Interest”) shall accrue to each Holder
of the Notes commencing upon the occurrence of such Registration Default in an amount equal to .25% per annum of the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder. The amount of Additional Interest will increase by an additional .25% per
annum of the principal amount of Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof) until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum rate of Additional Interest of 1.00% per annum of the principal amount of
Notes. All accrued Additional Interest will be paid to Holders by the Issuer in the same manner as interest is paid pursuant to the Indenture. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of Additional Interest will cease.

 If a Holder has given wire instructions to the Issuer, the Issuer will pay all principal of (and premium and Additional Interest, if any)
and interest on such Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. Otherwise, payment of the principal of (and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer
maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the Issuer as may be maintained for such purpose, 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; provided , however , that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer (i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Note Register or
(ii) by transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further
provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Telecommunications Holding, Inc. (“Holding” and, together with Group, “Parent”), the subsidiaries party thereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with Parent, the
“Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon
which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 
 The performance and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal of, or interest or Additional Interest on, the Notes, indemnification or otherwise, are unconditionally
guaranteed by Parent as set forth in the Indenture. 
 The Notes are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
notice, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after February 26, 2008 and prior to Maturity, at the election of the Issuer, at Redemption Prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount thereof), plus accrued and

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to February 26, 2008, the Issuer may on any one or more
occasions redeem up to 35% of the originally issued principal amount of Notes at a redemption price of 100.00% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date, with

 Under certain circumstances, in the event the Net Cash Proceeds

not a Guarantor, in each case owing to a Person other than any Restricted Person; provided that if such unsubordinated Indebtedness (other than secured Indebtedness under any Credit Facility) is pari passu with the Notes, then the Issuer will
ratably reduce, repay, redeem or repurchase Indebtedness under the Notes, or (B) invest an equal amount, or the amount not so applied pursuant to clause (A), in long-term property or assets of a nature or type or that are used in a business (or
in a company having property and assets of a nature or type, or engaged in a business) similar or related to the nature or type of the property and assets of, or the business of, the Issuer and the Restricted Persons existing on the date of such

maximum principal amount of Notes, in an integral multiple of $1,000, that may be purchased out of such amount at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued, unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any,
to the date of purchase, in accordance with the Indenture. Holders of Notes that are subject to any offer to purchase shall receive an Excess Proceeds Offer from the Issuer prior to any related Excess Proceeds Payment Date.

Redemption Date or Excess Proceeds Payment Date will be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Date referred to on the face hereof. Notes (or portions
thereof) for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date or Excess Proceeds Payment Date, as the case may be. 
 In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  

 A-5

permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herewith or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

principal amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
