        (b)   The
Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing
Line Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day's notice given by the Swing Line Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Credit Lender to make, and each
Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall initially be a Base Rate Loan), in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage of
the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the "Refunded Swing Line Loans") outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender. Each Revolving
Credit Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York
City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be made immediately available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender for

Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to pay the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans when due and payable by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.6(b) to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans.

prior to the time a Revolving Credit Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall
have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swing Line Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Credit Loans may not be made as
contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Credit Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b) (the

"Swing Line Participation Amount") equal to (i) such Revolving Credit Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding which were to have been repaid with such Revolving Credit Loans. 

        (d)   Whenever,
at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Lender's Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender
receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swing Line Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of 

27

 

principal
and interest payments, to reflect such Lender's pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line
Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender. 

        (e)   Each
Revolving Credit Lender's obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to
Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Revolving Credit Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an
Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower;
(iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Credit Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

        2.8   Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt.    (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Credit Lender or Tranche A Term Loan Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such
Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8), (ii) the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swing Line Loan of such Swing Line Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8) and
(iii) the principal amount of each Tranche A Term Loan of such Tranche A Term Loan Lender in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in Section 2.3 (or on such
earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time
outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.15. 

        (b)   Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan
of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 

        (c)   The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which
shall be recorded (i) the amount and Applicable Currency of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof. 

        (d)   The
entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

        (e)   The
Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a
promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Tranche A Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of
Exhibit F-1, F-2 or F-3, respectively (a "Term Note", 

28

 

"Revolving
Credit Note" or "Swing Line Note", respectively), with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided, that
delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Closing Date or the making of the Loans on the Closing Date. 

        2.9   Commitment
Fees, etc.    (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Credit Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, computed at the
Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of
each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date. 

        (b)   Holdings
and the Borrower agrees to pay to the Arrangers on the Closing Date the fees in the amounts previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Arrangers. 

        (c)   The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. 

        2.10 Termination
or Reduction of Commitments.    (a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days'
notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments;
provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving
Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an
amount equal to $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. The Commitments with respect to the
Tranche A Term Loans shall be reduced to zero upon the funding of the Tranche A Term Loans on the Closing Date. 

        2.11 Optional
Prepayments.    (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon New York City time on the third Business Day prior thereto in the case of LIBO Rate
Loans no later than 10:00 A.M. New York City time, on such day, in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall (i) designate whether the Borrower is prepaying Swing Line Loans,
Revolving Credit Loans and/or Tranche A Term Loans and (ii) specify the date and amount of such prepayment, and whether the prepayment is of LIBO Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans and the
Applicable Currency thereof; provided, that (i) if a LIBO Rate Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the
Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21 and (ii) no prior notice is required for the prepayment of Swing Line Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein,
together with (except in the case of Loans (unless all Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans) accrued
interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Tranche A Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of amount equal to (i) if the
Applicable Currency is Dollars, $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or (ii) if a Revolving Euro Loan, €5,000,000, or an integral multiple of
€1,000,000 thereof. Partial prepayments of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding
anything in Section 2.10 or 2.11 to the contrary, a notice of prepayment or termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon effectiveness
of other financing, in which case such notice may be revoked by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date if such condition is not satisfied. 

29

 

        2.12 Mandatory
Prepayments.    (a) If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
(excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with clauses (a) through (m) or clauses (q), (r) or (s) of Section 7.2), then not later than five Business Days
after the date of such incurrence, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans as set
forth in Section 2.12(d). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not permitted by
Section 7.2. 

        (b)   If
on any date Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, then, unless a Reinvestment
Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, within five Business Days of the date of receipt by Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be
applied toward the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.12(d); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no prepayment
shall be required by this paragraph (b) in respect of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event that generates Net Cash Proceeds of less than or equal to $5,000,000, and (ii) on each Reinvestment
Prepayment Date an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans as
set forth in Section 2.12(d). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5. 

        (c)   If,
for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess
Cash Flow Application Date, the Tranche A Term Loans shall be prepaid in an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow, as set forth in Section 2.12(d). Each such prepayment
shall be made on a date (an "Excess Cash Flow Application Date") no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the financial
statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders and (ii) the date
such financial statements are actually delivered. 

        (d)   Amounts
to be applied pursuant to Section 2.12 (a), (b), (c), (f) and (g) shall be applied to the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans. The
application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 or this Section 2.12 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and,
second, to LIBO Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which, in the Administrative Agent's reasonable judgment, following consultation with the Borrower, (which shall be
conclusive) minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21. Each prepayment of the Loans under Section 2.11 and this
Section 2.12 (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans (unless the Revolving Credit Loans are being repaid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments terminated) that are Base Rate Loans
and Swing Line Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment to the applicable Lender on the amount prepaid. 

        (e)   If
on any Valuation Date the Administrative Agent shall determine and notify the Borrower that the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit on such Valuation Date exceed
105% of the excess of (i) the Total Revolving Credit Commitments on such Valuation Date over (ii) the Receivables Reserve Amount on such Valuation Date (such notice to provide the
euro/Dollar exchange rate used in such calculation, which shall be the Dollar Equivalent Exchange Rate on such Valuation Date), then the Borrower shall, on the third Business Day (such day, the
"Payment Date") following receipt by it of such notice from the Administrative Agent, provide cash collateral for the Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in
Section 8 and/or prepay Swingline Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, in such combination and amounts as the Borrower may determine in its sole discretion, to the extent necessary to ensure that,
after giving effect to any borrowings or prepayments to be made by the Borrower on or prior to such Payment Date, the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit (measured using the Dollar Equivalent
Exchange Rate specified in such notice) outstanding on such Payment Date do not exceed the excess of (i) Total Revolving Credit Commitments on such Payment Date over (ii) the Receivables
Reserve Amount on such Payment Date. If, 

30

 

on
any date subsequent to such Payment Date, the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any cash collateral for Letters of Credit provided pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) is no longer
required, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such cash collateral to the Borrower. 

        (f)    If
Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive any Henderson Sale Proceeds, then not later than five Business Days after the date of receipt of such
Henderson Sale Proceeds by such Person, an amount equal to 100% of such Henderson Sale Proceeds shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans as set forth in
Section 2.12(d). 

        (g)   If
on any date Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Receivable Qualifying Asset Sale, then, within five Business
Days of the date of receipt by Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans as
set forth in Section 2.12(d). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5. 

        2.13 Conversion
and Continuation Options.    (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBO Rate Dollar Loans to
Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the proposed conversion date,
provided that any such conversion of LIBO Rate Loans may be made only on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect (subject to
Sections 2.17 and 2.22) from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Dollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice any of such election (which notice shall
specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor) no later than 12:00 noon New York City time, on the third Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date,
provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a LIBO Rate Dollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion or
(ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each relevant Lender thereof. 

        (b)   The
Borrower may elect (subject to Sections 2.17 and 2.22) to continue any LIBO Rate Loan as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto for an additional Interest Period in the same Applicable Currency by giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest
Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no LIBO Rate Loan under a particular
Facility may be continued as such (i) for any Interest Period of any length (in the case of LIBO Rate Dollar Loans) or any Interest Period in excess of one month (in the case of Revolving
Credit Euro Loans) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or
their sole discretion not to permit such continuation or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility; and
provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is
not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, any such Loans (other than Revolving Credit Euro Loans) shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans and Revolving Credit Euro Loans shall, if
otherwise permitted under this Agreement, be continued as Revolving Credit Euro Loans with an Interest Period of one month, in each case on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 

        (c)   Revolving
Credit Euro Loans may not be converted into Revolving Credit Dollar Loans. 

        2.14 Minimum
Amounts and Maximum Number of LIBO Rate Tranches.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all
borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of LIBO Rate Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to 

31

 

such
elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the LIBO Rate Loans comprising each LIBO Rate Tranche (x) if the Applicable Currency is
Dollars, shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (y) if a Revolving Euro Loan, shall be equal to €1,000,000, or an integral
multiple of €1,000,000 thereof and (b) no more than twelve LIBO Rate Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time. 

        2.15 Interest
Rates and Payment Dates.    (a) Each LIBO Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period
with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day. 

        (b)   Each
Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable
Margin in effect for such day. 

        (c)   (i) If
all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (x) in the case of the LIBO Rate Loans, a rate per
annum equal to the LIBO Rate determined for such day plus the highest Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans plus 2.0%, (y) in the case of the Base Rate Loans, a rate per annum equal to the Base
Rate determined for such day plus the highest Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus 2.0%, or (z) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the
Revolving Credit Facility calculated at the highest Applicable Margin for such Loans plus 2.0%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or
any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per
annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility calculated at the highest Applicable Margin for such Loans plus 2.0% (or, in the case of any such other amounts
that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility calculated at the highest Applicable Margin for such Loans plus 2.0%), in
each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). 

        (d)   Interest
shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable
from time to time on demand. 

        (e)   Interest
on any Loan or other Obligation shall be payable in same currency as the currency in which such Loan or other Obligation is payable. 

        2.16 Computation
of Interest and Fees.    (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall
be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a LIBO Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the LIBOR Statutory Reserves shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the
effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 

        (b)   Each
determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the
Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in
determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.16(a). 

32

 

        2.17 Inability
to Determine Interest Rate.    If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 

        (a)   the
Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, or 

        (b)   the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the LIBO Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during
such Interest Period, 

the
Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given: (i) if the
affected Loans are LIBO Rate Dollar Loans, (w) any LIBO Rate Dollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate
Loans, (x) any Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBO Rate Dollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate
Loans, (y) any outstanding LIBO
Rate Dollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate Loans and (z) the obligations of the
Lenders to make or continue LIBO Rate Dollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBO Rate Dollar Loans shall be suspended until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent; and
(ii) if the affected Loans are Revolving Credit Euro Loans, (x) Revolving Credit Euro Loans will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, become due
and payable and (y) the obligations of the Lenders to make or continue Revolving Euro Credit Loans shall be suspended until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent. 

        2.18 Pro
Rata Treatment and Payments.    (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the
Borrower on account of any commitment fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro rata according to the
respective Tranche A Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders. Subject to Section 2.18(c), each payment (other than prepayments as set
forth in Sections 2.18(b) or (c)) in respect of principal or interest in respect of the Tranche A Term Loans and each payment in respect of fees or expenses payable hereunder shall be applied to the
amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. The
application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to LIBO Rate Loans. 

        (b)   Each
payment (including each prepayment) of the Tranche A Term Loans outstanding under the Tranche A Term Loan Facility shall be allocated among the Tranche A Term Loan
Lenders holding such Tranche A Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Tranche A Term Loans held by such Tranche A Term Loan Lenders, and shall be applied to reduce the then
remaining installments of such Tranche A Term Loans pro rata based upon the then remaining installments thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of
the Tranche A Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 

        (c)   Each
payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made
pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving Credit Lenders.
Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letters of Credit. 

        (d)   The
application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate
Loans under such Facility and, second, to LIBO Rate Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the case of Swing Line Loans and 

33

 

Revolving
Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid. 

        (e)   All
payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in
the Applicable Currency and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment
hereunder (other than payments on the LIBO Rate Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on
a LIBO Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to
extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant
to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 

        (f)    Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute
its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time
on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for
the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing
under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three
Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the
relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. 

        (g)   Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment being made by the Borrower hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If
such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days of such required date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each
Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. 

        (h)   The
Administrative Agent reserves the right to apply against the repayment of any Obligations owing in any currency, any repayment and other amounts that may be applied
in accordance with other provisions of this Agreement to repay such Obligations, regardless of the currency in which such repayments and amounts were received or are held. 

        2.19 Requirements
of Law.    (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether 

34

 

or
not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 

        (i)    shall
impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or
for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO
Rate hereunder; or 

        (ii)   shall
impose on such Lender any other condition; 

and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBO Rate
Dollar or Revolving Credit Euro Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the
Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its written demand (which shall include the certificate described in Section 2.19(c)), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
on an after-tax basis for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly
notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 

        (b)   If
any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application
thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under
or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such
Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (which request shall include the certificate described in Section 2.19(c)), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within
15 days of receipt of such notice such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such reduction. 

        (c)   A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) with
reasonable detail demonstrating how such amounts were derived shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

        2.20 Taxes.    (a) All
payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be made free and
clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or
hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Arrangers,
any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Arrangers, such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Arrangers', such Agent's or such Lender's having executed, delivered or performed
its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or
withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes") or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Arrangers, any Agent or any Lender
hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Arrangers, such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Arrangers, such Agent or such 

35

 

Lender
(after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Borrower or any Guarantor shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to the Arrangers, any Agent
or any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to the Arrangers', such Agent's or such Lender's failure to comply with the requirements of
paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) in the case of any Non-U.S. Lender, that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to the Arrangers,
such Agent or such Lender at the time the Arrangers, such Agent or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that the Arrangers', such Agent's or such Lender's assignor (if
any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a). The Borrower or
the applicable Guarantor shall make any required withholding and pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements
of Law. 

        (b)   In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

        (c)   Whenever
any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the relevant Arranger, Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower
fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Arrangers, any Agent or any
Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

        (d)   Each
Lender (or Transferee) that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or
under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a
"Non U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall
have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or successor form), or, in the case of a Non U.S. Lender
claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest" a statement substantially in the form of
Exhibit G to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code and a
Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced
rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before
the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S.
Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly
notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S.
taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that
such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. 

36

   
        (e)   A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located,
or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution
or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 

        2.21 Indemnity.    The
Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that
such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans after the Borrower has given a
notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans after the Borrower has given a notice
thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of LIBO Rate Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed,
converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to
borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding,
however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such
Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section,
with reasonable detail demonstrating how such amounts were derived, submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

        2.22   Illegality.    Notwithstanding
any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of
Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBO Rate Dollar Loans or Revolving Credit Euro Loans as contemplated by this Agreement,
(a) if the affected Loans are LIBO Rate Dollar Loans, (x) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBO Rate Dollar Loans, continue LIBO Rate Dollar Loans as such and convert Base
Rate Loans to LIBO Rate Dollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled, and such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of LIBO Rate Dollar Loans, and (y) such Lender's
Loans then outstanding as LIBO Rate Dollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such
Loans or within such earlier period as required by law; or (b) if the affected Loans are Revolving Credit Euro Loans, (x) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Revolving Credit
Euro Loans or continue Revolving Credit Euro Loans as such shall forthwith be canceled and such Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan as part of any requested borrowing of Revolving
Credit Euro Loans and (y) if Revolving Credit Euro Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall repay each such Loan on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with
respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBO Rate Dollar Loan or repayment of a Revolving Credit Euro Loan occurs on a day which is not the
last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.21. 

        2.23   Change
of Lending Office.    Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation
of Section 2.19, 2.20(a) or 2.22 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the 

37

 

Borrower,
use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or to designate another lending
office for any Loans affected by such event, in each case, with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms
that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided,
further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20(a)
or 2.22. 

        2.24   Replacement
of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.    The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that
(w) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or has invoked Section 2.22, (x) is in default of its obligation to make Loans hereunder (a
"Defaulting Lender"), (y) becomes insolvent and its assets become subject to a receiver, liquidator, trustee, custodian or other Person having similar powers or (z) becomes a
"Non-Consenting Lender" (as defined below), with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any
Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) in the event of a replacement of a Non-Consenting
Lender, in order for the Borrower to be entitled to replace such a Lender, such replacement must take place no later than 180 days after the date the Non-Consenting Lender shall
have notified the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its failure to agree to any requested consent, waiver or amendment, (iv) in the event of a replacement of a Lender that requested
reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or that invoked Section 2.22, prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.23 so as to
eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or the effect of Section 2.22, (v) the replacement financial institution shall
purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (vi) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under
Section 2.21 (as though Section 2.21 were applicable) if any LIBO Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating
thereto, (vii) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (viii) the replaced Lender shall be
obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to
therein), (ix) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case
may be, and (x) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 

        In
the event that (A) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or to agree to
any amendment thereto, (B) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 or all the Lenders with respect
to a certain class of the Loans and (C) Required Lenders or more than 50% of the class of such Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to
such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a "Non-Consenting Lender". The Borrower's right to replace a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.24 is, and shall be, in
addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies available to the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, at law, in equity, or by statute. 

        2.25 Limitation
on Additional Amounts, etc.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22 of
this Agreement, unless the Administrative Agent or a Lender gives notice to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay an amount under any such Section within 90 days after the later of
(x) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction
in return on capital or (y) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes, loss, expense or
liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in 

38

 

return
on capital, such Lender shall not be entitled to be compensated for interest and penalties by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.19, 2.20, or 2.22, as the case may be, to the extent such
interest or penalties are incurred or suffered on or after such date. This Section 2.25 shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.22. 

SECTION 3.    LETTERS
OF CREDIT 

        3.1   L/C
Commitment.    (a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Existing Issuing Lender has issued the Existing Letters of Credit
which, from and after the Closing Date, shall constitute Letters of Credit hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other
Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3, together
with the Existing Letters of Credit, collectively, the "Letters of Credit") for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment
Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments at such time would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated
in Dollars or in euro and (ii) except as otherwise provided in Annex B with respect to certain Existing Letters of Credit, expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary
of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that (i) any Letter
of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in
clause (y) above), and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue a Letter of Credit (Euro) if the obligation of any Lender to make Revolving Credit Euro Loans is
suspended at such time pursuant to Section 2.17 or Section 2.22. 

        (b)   No
Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C
Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. 

        3.2   Procedure
for Issuance of Letter of Credit.    The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of
Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, at their addresses for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such
Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process
such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the
Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event
shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other
papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof). 

        3.3   Fees
and Other Charges.    (a) The Borrower will pay a fee in the Applicable Currency on the aggregate drawable amount of
all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to LIBO Rate Loans of the Applicable Currency under the Revolving Credit Facility,
shared ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date
of such Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee in the Applicable Currency on the aggregate drawable amount of 

39

 

all
outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it of 1/8 of 1% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance of such Letter of Credit. 

        (b)   In
addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by
such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 

        3.4   L/C
Participations.    (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and,
to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the
terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender's
obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender, regardless of the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or the failure to
satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, upon demand at the Administrative Agent's address for notices specified herein (and thereafter, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly pay to the Issuing Lender) an amount in the Applicable Currency equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so
reimbursed. 

        (b)   If
any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment
made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the L/C Participants and each such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender on demand (and
thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) [(x) if the Applicable
Currency is Dollars,] the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate [or (y) if the Applicable Currency is euro, the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Credit Euro
Loans with Interest Periods of one month, in each case] during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be
paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business
Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, (x) if the Applicable
Currency is Dollars, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) if the
Applicable Currency is euro, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Credit Euro Loans with Interest Periods determined by the
Administrative Agent under the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any such amounts
owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

        (c)   Whenever,
at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant's pro rata
share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including
proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
L/C Participant (and thereafter, the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof;
provided, however, that in the 

40

 

event
that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it. 

        3.5   Reimbursement
Obligation of the Borrower.    The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, no later than 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Business Day, if the Applicable Currency is Dollars, and on the third Business Day, if the Applicable Currency is euro, following the Business Day on which such Issuing
Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any
taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of
any drawing, collectively, the "Payment Amount"). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in the Applicable
Currency and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate of interest applicable during
such period to Revolving Credit Loans that are (i) if the Applicable Currency is Dollars, Base Rate Loans or (ii) if the Applicable Currency is euro, Revolving Credit Euro Loans with
Interest Periods of one month, plus, in each case, for the period from the third Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, 2% per annum. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall
(unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures
specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of
(i) if the Applicable Currency is Dollars, Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.7 of Swing Line Loans) or (ii) if the Applicable Currency is euro, Revolving Credit Euro Loans with Interest Periods of one month, in each case in the amount of such drawing.
The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of (i) if the Applicable Currency is Dollars, Base Rate Loans (or, if applicable, Swing Line
Loans) or (ii) if the Applicable Currency is euro, Revolving Credit Euro Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5 (or, if applicable, Section 2.7), if the Administrative Agent
had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. 

        3.6   Obligations
Absolute.    The Borrower's obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and
all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any
other Person. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not
be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any
dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against
any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message
or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for those resulting from a breach of standard of care specified in the UCC of the State of New York. The Borrower agrees
that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in accordance with the standards of care
specified in the UCC of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 

        3.7   Letter
of Credit Payments.    If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender
shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant 

41

 

Issuing
Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in
conformity with such Letter of Credit. 

        3.8   Applications.    To
the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall apply. 

SECTION 4.    REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES 

        To
induce the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, Holdings and the Borrower hereby
jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Arrangers, each Agent and each Lender that: 

        4.1   Financial
Condition.    (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2005 (including the notes thereto) (the "Pro Forma Balance Sheet"), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender,
has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the Transaction, (ii) the Loans to be made and the Senior Notes to be issued on
the Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the
information available to Holdings and the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof and on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by it to be reasonable as of the date of delivery thereof,
and presents fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30,
2005, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes of the type
typically included in audited statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. 

        (b)   The
audited combined balance sheets of "Tronox" as at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the related combined statements of operations and of cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, included in the Confidential Information Memorandum and reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from
Ernst & Young, LLP, present fairly in all material respects the combined financial condition of Holdings and the Contributed Subsidiaries as at such date, and the combined results of its
operations and its combined cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. The unaudited combined balance sheet of "Tronox" as at September 30, 2005, and the related unaudited combined
statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month period ended on such date, included in the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC contemporaneously
herewith, present fairly in all material respects the combined financial condition of Holdings and the Contributed Subsidiaries as at such date, and the combined results of its operations and its
combined cash flows for the nine-month period then ended (subject to normal year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). All such financial statements, including the related
schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed

        (c)   Holdings,
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any
long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of
derivatives, in each case which is material and required by GAAP to be, but that is not, reflected or disclosed in the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 4.1(b). During the 

42

        4.2   No

as a foreign corporation (or other entity) and in good standing (if applicable) under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification, except to the extent that the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        4.4   Organizational
Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.    Each Loan Party has the corporate or limited liability company,
as applicable, power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents and Transaction Documentation to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to
borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and Transaction
Documentation to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No material consent or material authorization of,
material filing with, material notice to, material Permit from or other material act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority and no material consent or material authorization of, material
filing with, material notice to or other material act by or in respect of any other Person is required in connection with the Transaction, the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the Transaction Documentation except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices which have
been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (to the extent obtained or made in respect of any Loan Documents) are described in Schedule 4.4 and (ii) filings in respect of
Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Loan Document and each item of Transaction Documentation has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party
thereto. This Agreement and each Transaction Document constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party
thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 

        4.5   No
Legal Bar.    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Senior Note
Documentation, the Transaction Documentation, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate in any material respect any material
Requirement of Law or any Material Contractual Obligation of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of
their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such material Requirement of Law or any such Material Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). 

43

 

        4.6   No

Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

        4.8   Ownership
of Property; Liens.    (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.8(a), each of Holdings, the Borrower and its

None of the Collateral is subject to any Lien except for Permitted Liens. 

        (b)   All
material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, and
there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would give rise to a default on the part of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
under any such lease or leases, which would affect in any material respect the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

        (c)   The
rights and properties presently owned, leased or licensed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including all easements and rights of way, include all rights and

(a) Holdings, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, (b) no
material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property and
(c) to the knowledge of the Borrower the use of Intellectual Property by Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect. 

        4.10 Taxes.    All
U.S. Federal and other material tax returns that are required to be filed by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower
and each of its Subsidiaries or by any consolidated group of which Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is or has been a member have been duly filed except as set forth on
Schedule 4.10 hereto; all material taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any material assessments made against Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or any Property
of any thereof and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or any Property of any thereof by any Governmental Authority have been
paid (other than any tax the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been
provided on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be); the contents of all such material tax returns are correct and complete in all material respects; no material
tax Lien has been filed that would not be a Permitted Lien. No Loan Party and no Subsidiary thereof (i) intends to treat the Loans, the 

44

 

Transaction,
or any other transaction contemplated hereby as being a "reportable transaction" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.6011-4) or (ii) is aware of any
facts or events that would result in such treatment. 

        4.11 Federal
Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used in violation of
Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. 

        4.12 Labor
Matters.    There are no strikes, stoppages or slowdowns or other labor disputes against Holdings, the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Hours
worked by and payment made to employees of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing
with such matters that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on
account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if not paid have been paid or accrued as a
liability on the books of Holdings, the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary. 

        4.13 ERISA.    Neither
a Reportable Event nor an "accumulated funding deficiency" (within the meaning of Section 412 of the
Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied
in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except to the extent any non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under
each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made,
exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal
from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, neither the Borrower nor any
Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as
of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. 

        4.14 Investment
Company Act; Other Regulations.    No Loan Party is an "investment company", within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any material Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X) which limits or conditions its ability to incur
Indebtedness under the Loan Documents.

Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15(a) constitute (x) all the Subsidiaries of the

        (b)   As
of the Closing Date, other than as listed on Schedule 4.15(b), there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or
commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors' qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. As of the
Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has issued any Disqualified Stock. 

45

        (c)   Materials
of Environmental Concern are not present at, on, under, in, or about any real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by Holdings, the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, or at any other location (including any location to which Materials of Environmental Concern have been sent for re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or
disposal) which could reasonably be expected to (x) give rise to liability of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law or otherwise result in
costs to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (y) interfere with Holdings, the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries' continued operations, or (z) impair the fair

        4.18 Accuracy
of Information, etc.    (a) No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the
Confidential Information Memorandum or any other document, certificate or statement (excluding any projections, pro forma financial information or estimates included in any such statement, document or
certificate) relating to any Loan Party furnished to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Agents or the Lenders or any of them, by or on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (taken together with all information so furnished and as modified or supplemented by the other information so furnished,
including the registration statement on Form S-1 filed and effective contemporaneously herewith), contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was
so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections,
pro forma financial information and estimates contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of
Holdings and the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Agents, Arrangers and Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed
as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. 

        (b)   As
of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties made by Holdings and its Subsidiaries contained in the Transaction Agreements are true and correct in all
material respects, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all
material respects as of such earlier date. 

        4.19 Security
Documents.    (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable security interest in the Personal Property Collateral and proceeds and products thereof, to the extent
contemplated by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. In the case of the Stock Collateral, when any stock certificates representing such Stock Collateral are delivered to the Administrative Agent,
and in the case of the other Personal Property Collateral, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(a)-1 (which financing
statements may be filed by the Administrative Agent) at any time and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement have been completed (all of
which filings may be filed by the Administrative Agent) at any time, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and
interest of the Loan Parties in such Personal Property Collateral and the proceeds and products thereof, to the extent contemplated by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as security for the
Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Permitted Liens). As of the Closing Date,

products thereof; and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.19(b) (in the case of Mortgages to be executed and delivered on the Closing Date) or in the recording
office designated in Schedule 7.21 (in the case of any Mortgage to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 7.21), each Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties described therein and the proceeds and products thereof, to the extent contemplated by such
Mortgage, as 

47

 

security
for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to the rights of any other Person (other than Persons holding Liens or other encumbrances
or rights permitted by the relevant Mortgage and other than Permitted Liens).

        4.22 Transaction.    (a) As

bound or by which such Person or any of its property or assets is bound or affected relating to, or arising out of, the Transaction (including any agreements, instruments or undertakings assumed

        (d)   Each
KMG Party has the corporate or limited liability company, as applicable, power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Transaction
Documentation to which it is a party. Each KMG Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction

connection with the Transaction, or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documentation except consents, authorizations, filings and notices which
have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect. Each item of Transaction Documentation has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each KMG Party that is a party thereto. Each
Transaction Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each KMG Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such KMG Party in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable
principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 

        (e)   The
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documentation will not violate in any material respect any material Requirement of Law or any material
contractual obligation of KMG or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Holdings and the Contributed Subsidiaries) and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the
properties or revenues of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any such material Requirement of Law or any such material 

48

 

contractual
obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and other than Permitted Liens). 

        (f)    As
of the Closing Date, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or

        (k)   Any
Change of Control shall occur; 

then,
and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the
Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of
L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and
(B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders, the
Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Revolving Credit Commitments to
be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the
request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required
thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available under the Security Documents, including the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, or otherwise available under
applicable law or otherwise. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the
Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency equal to the aggregate then
undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit (and the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in
all amounts at any time on deposit in such cash collateral account to secure the undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other Obligations). If at any time the Administrative
Agent reasonably determines that any funds held in such cash collateral account are subject to any senior or pari-passu right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and
the Secured Parties or that the total amount of such funds in the Applicable Currency is less than the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall,
forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in such cash collateral account, an amount in the Applicable Currency
equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in such cash collateral account that the Administrative Agent
reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under
such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower 

77

 

hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other
Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (excluding Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement and unmatured contingent reimbursement and indemnification
Obligations) shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). 

SECTION 9.    THE
AGENTS; THE ARRANGERS 

        9.1   Appointment.    Each
Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth
herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against any Agent. 

        9.2   Delegation
of Duties.    Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 

        9.3   Exculpatory
Provisions.    Neither the Arrangers, any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents,
attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its
or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan
Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Arrangers or the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of any Loan Party. 

        9.4   Reliance
by Agents.    Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts
selected by such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been
filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders required under Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it
deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be 

78

 

incurred
by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders required under Section 10.1 to authorize or require such action (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 

        9.5   Notice
of Default.    No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is
a "notice of default". In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders or the requisite Lenders required hereunder to authorize or require such action
(or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the
Lenders. 

        9.6   Non-Reliance
on the Arrangers, the Agents and Other Lenders.    Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the
Arrangers, any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have
made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to
constitute any representation or warranty by the Arrangers, any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents and the Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Arrangers, any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans (and in the case of any Issuing Lender, to issue its
Letters of Credit) hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Arrangers, any Agent or any other Lender, and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition, prospects and creditworthiness of
the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Arranger and no Agent
shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Arrangers or Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and
other advisors, partners, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 

79

   
        9.7   Indemnification.    The Lenders agree to indemnify the Arrangers and each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not
reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the
date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full,
ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Arrangers or such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Transaction Documentation, or any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Arrangers or such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from the Arrangers' or such Agent's gross
negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Lender. The agreements in this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and Letters of Credit and all other amounts
payable hereunder. 

        9.8   Arrangers
and Agent in their Individual Capacities.    The Arrangers and each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept
deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Arrangers or such Agent were not an Arranger or an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it
and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, the Arrangers and each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Arranger or an Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Arrangers and the Agent in their individual capacities. 

        9.9   Successor
Administrative Agent.    The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days' notice to the
Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and
be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
the Administrative Agent, and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent's rights, powers and
duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of
the Loans or issuers of Letters of Credit. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent's notice
of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the
benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Arrangers, any Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

80

 

        9.10 Authorization
to Release Liens and Guarantees.    The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the
Lenders to release any Lien covering any Property of the Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that is the subject of a Disposition which is permitted by the Loan Documents or which has been consented
to in accordance with Section 10.1. 

        9.11 The
Arrangers; the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agents.    The Arrangers, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation
Agents, in their respective capacities as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

        9.12 Withholding
Tax.    (a) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any
interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the forms or other documentation required by Section 2.20(d) or (e) are not delivered to the
Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender not providing such forms or other documentation, an amount equivalent to the applicable
withholding tax. 

        (b)   If
the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax
from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a
change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all
amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff
costs and any out of pocket expenses. 

        (c)   If
any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers its rights under this Agreement, the purchaser, assignee, participant or transferee, as
applicable, shall comply and be bound by the terms of Sections 2.20(d) and (e) and 9.12; provided that with respect to any Participant, as set forth in Section 10.6(b), such Participant
shall only be required to comply with the requirements of Sections 2.12(d) and (e) and 9.12 if such Participant seeks to obtain the benefits of Section 2.20. 

SECTION 10.    MISCELLANEOUS 

        10.1 Amendments
and Waivers.    Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended,
supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written
consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or
modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any
of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however,
that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall: 

        (i)    forgive
the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, extend the scheduled date of any amortization
payment in respect of any Tranche A Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof
in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; 

81

 

        (ii)   increase
the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications
of covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of mandatory reductions of Commitments, if any, shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender); 

        (iii)  amend,
modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by
the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the
Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantee obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the consent of all Lenders unless otherwise expressly permitted herein or in
any other Loan Document; 

        (iv)  amend,
modify or waive any condition precedent to any extension of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility set forth in Section 5.2 (including the waiver of
an existing Default or Event of Default required to be waived in order for such extension of credit to be made) without the consent of the Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders; 

        (v)   reduce
the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such
Facility; 

        (vi)  amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision of any Loan Document relating to the obligations of the Arrangers or any Agent without
the consent of the Arrangers or Agent directly affected thereby;

adversely affected thereby; or 

        (ix)  amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the consent of each Issuing Lender adversely affected thereby. 

Any
such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Agents and all
future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Arrangers and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not
continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall
be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an executed
signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and each Loan Party party to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time
outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively, the "Additional Extensions of Credit") to share ratably in the benefits of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Tranche A Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the
Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Revolving Facility Lenders. 

        In
addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Term 

82

 

Loans
(as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all outstanding Tranche A Term Loans ("Refinanced Term Loans") with a replacement term
loan tranche hereunder ("Replacement Term Loans"), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans
shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such
Refinanced Term Loans and (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans
at the time of such refinancing.

        10.5 Payment
of Expenses.    The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Arrangers and the Agents for all their reasonable
out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, preparation and execution of, and any
amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent (which shall be limited to one counsel for
the Administrative Agent except as to local law matters) and the charges of Intralinks, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Arrangers and the Agents for all their costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including the fees and
disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and disbursements and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c), without duplication of the
Borrower's obligations under Section 2.20(b) hereof, to pay and indemnify each Lender, the Arrangers and the Agents for, and hold each Lender, the Arrangers and the Agents harmless from, any
and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined
to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any
waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) without duplication of the Borrower's obligations under
Section 2.20(b) hereof, to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, the Arrangers, each Agent, and their respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders,
attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact, agents and controlling persons (each, an "Indemnitee") for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from
and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to or
arising out of any claim, proceeding, litigation, or other action concerning or relating to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit, the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any
Environmental Law applicable to the operations of Holdings, the Borrower any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties and to reimburse them for all reasonable fees and disbursements and other
charges of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the
"Indemnified Liabilities"), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of Information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other
information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee, as determined by a final
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities. Without limiting the foregoing but subject to the
proviso of the second preceding sentence, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to
cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for 

84

 

contribution
or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related
to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to the
Borrower in accordance with Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in
this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

        10.6 Successors
and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.    (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and Letters of Credit and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except
that neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or transfer any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender. 

        (b)   Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any other Person, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions
or other entities (each, a "Participant") participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other
parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or
any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees payable
hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case to the extent subject to such participation. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and
the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest
were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to
share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such
Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.20, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.20(e); and
provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender
would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. 

        (c)   Any
Lender (an "Assignor") may, in accordance with applicable law and upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from
time to time assign to (i) an Arranger and its affiliates, (ii) any Lender or any Lender Affiliate or Affiliated Fund of the assigning Lender or another Lender thereof (each, an
"Eligible Assignee") or, (iii) with the consent of the Administrative Agents, and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which, in
each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an 

85

 

"Assignee")
all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit D (an
"Assignment and Acceptance"), executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the consent of the Borrower, or the Administrative Agent is required pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register together with a processing and recordation fee
of $3,500; provided that no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any Lender Affiliate thereof or Affiliated Fund of any Lender) shall be in an
aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (with respect to Tranche A Term Loans and Tranche A Term Loan Commitments and $2,500,000 with respect to all other Loans and Commitments (other than,
in each case, in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender's interests under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any such assignment need not be
ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the
Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set
forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Section 2.19, 2.20, 2.21, 9.12
and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs at any
time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 

        (d)   The
Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered
to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each
Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall
be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by
a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance;
thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee (if requested by such Assignee), and the old Notes shall be returned by the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked "canceled". The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender's Loans) at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

        (e)   Upon
its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by
Section 10.6(c), by each such other Person) together with any tax forms required under Section 2.20 and payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500
(except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is a Lender Affiliate or an Affiliated Fund (and in the case of
assignments on the same day from a Lender to more than one fund managed or advised by the same investment advisor (which funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single $3,500 registration and
processing fee shall be payable for all such assignments by such Lender to such funds)), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the
effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective
date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be,
of the assigning 

86

 

Lender)
a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as the case may be, such Assignee or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or applicable
Tranche A Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Tranche A Term
Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note or Term Note, as the case may be, the Assignor or its registered assigns in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or
applicable Tranche A Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced
thereby. 

        (f)    For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to
absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the
consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights
as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or
securities; provided that any foreclosure or similar action by such trustee or representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6 concerning assignments. 

        (g)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle
(an "SPC"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all
or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein
shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender
shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan
were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall
remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one
year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such
SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee
therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose
on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may be disclosed only with the Borrower's consent which will not
be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment. 

87

 

        10.7 Adjustments;
Set-off.    (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to
a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a "Benefitted Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the
Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in
Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Obligations, such Benefitted
Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any
such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders;
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such
purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

        (b)   In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 8(a) or 8(f),
each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Holdings or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon
any amount to the extent due and payable by Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity or by acceleration), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, other than trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the
Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees to notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

        10.8 Counterparts.    This
Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by
facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent. 

        10.9 Severability.    Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

        10.10 Integration.    This
Agreement, together with the Fee Letter (other than Section 2 thereof), Sections 5, 6, 8 and
10 of the Syndication Letter Agreement, the Letter Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Arrangers, any Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof
not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 

        10.11 GOVERNING LAW.    THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

88

 

        10.12 Submission
To Jurisdiction; Waivers.    Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 

        (a)   submits
for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition
and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern
District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; 

        (b)   consents
that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 

        (c)   agrees
that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar
form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address specified in Section 10.2; 

        (d)   agrees
that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other
jurisdiction; and 

        (e)   waives,
to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 

        10.13 Acknowledgments.    Each
of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges that: 

        (a)   it
has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

        (b)   neither
the Arrangers, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Holdings or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and Holdings and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 

        (c)   no
joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arrangers, the Agents
and the Lenders or among Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders. 

        10.14 Confidentiality.    Each
of the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public
information provided to it by any Loan Party or any of such Loan Party's attorneys, agents or accountants pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential;
provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Arrangers, any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to (i) the Arrangers, any Agent or
any other Lender or (ii) any Lender Affiliate of any thereof that is obligated to hold such information in confidence (subject, in the case of such disclosure to any Lender Affiliate of an
Agent, Arranger or Lender, to the applicable Arranger, Agent or Lender being responsible for compliance by such Lender Affiliate with the provisions of this Section 10.14), (b) to any
Participant or Assignee (each, a "Transferee") or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.14, (c) to any of its
employees, directors, consultants and representatives who are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are directed to hold such information in confidence, (d) to any
financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty's professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty agrees
to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.14) (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) in response to any order of any
court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) if 

89

 

requested
or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender's investment portfolio in connection
with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document. The agreements in this Section 10.14
shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

        10.15 Release
of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.    (a) If any of the Collateral shall be Disposed of by any Loan Party
in a transaction permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of any Lien created under any Security Document in respect of
any Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all Liens created hereunder in such Collateral shall be automatically released, all
without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. Any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
and all Liens created hereunder in the Collateral owned by, and in the Capital Stock issued by, such Guarantor shall be automatically released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of
any act by any party, upon consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary. In connection with any termination or release
pursuant to this paragraph (a), the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to each applicable Loan Party, at such Loan Party's sole expense, all documents as such Loan Party shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination or release; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
termination or release (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent), a written request for termination or release identifying the relevant Collateral being Disposed of in such
Disposition or Subsidiary ceasing to be such and the terms thereof in reasonable detail, including the date thereof and the price thereof, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that
such transaction is in compliance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the proceeds of such Disposition will be applied in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge
Agreement and any unmatured contingent reimbursement and indemnification Obligations) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding,
the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created hereby, and the Guarantee Obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document of any Guarantor shall be terminated. At the request of
any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Qualified Counterparty) take such actions as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to
release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding
Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after
such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower
or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 

        10.16 Accounting
Changes.    In the event that any "Accounting Change" (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a
change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement and if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes to or the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders wish to, amend any financial 

90

 

covenants,
standards or terms in this Agreement to eliminate the effect of such Accounting Change, then Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into negotiations in order to
amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating Holdings' and the Borrower's financial condition
shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by Holdings and the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (or the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall have withdrawn their request for an amendment), all financial covenants,
standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. "Accounting Change" refers to any change in accounting principles
required or permitted by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or, if
applicable, the SEC. 

        10.17 Delivery
of Lender Addenda.    Each initial Lender shall become a party to this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative
Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

        10.18 Construction.    Each
covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being
independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other
covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken
directly or indirectly by such Person. 

        10.19 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL.    HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER, THE
ARRANGERS, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY
COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

        10.20 Customer
Identification—USA PATRIOT Act Notice.    The Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
other party), the Syndication Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party) and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title
III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan
Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to
identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act. 

        10.21 Transaction/Spin-Off.    Nothing
in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall prohibit the consummation of
the Transaction.

Debt" means, with respect to any specified Person: 

	(1)
	Indebtedness
of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not such
Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and

	(2)
	Indebtedness
secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person.

	(1)
	any
property or assets (other than indebtedness and Capital Stock) to be used by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in a Permitted Business;

	(2)
	the

Subsidiaries; or

	(3)

        "Affiliate"
of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control

	(2)

issuance of Equity Interests in any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale of Equity Interests in any of its Subsidiaries (other than directors'
qualifying shares and shares required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries). 

        Notwithstanding
the preceding, none of the following items will be deemed to be an Asset Sale:

        (5)   In
connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 2.1,
such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified
by DTC in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. 

        (6)   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)    Euroclear
and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and
Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear" and the "General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking" and "Customer Handbook" of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in
the Regulation S Global Note that are held by Agent Members through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

        (g)   Definitive
Notes. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Definitive Notes.
If required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, beneficial owners may obtain Definitive Notes in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note upon written request in
accordance with DTC's and the Registrar's procedures. In addition, Definitive Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Note if
(a) DTC notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, at a time
when DTC is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuers within 90 days of such notice, (b) the
Issuers, at their option, notify the Trustee in writing that they elect to cause the issuance of the Definitive Notes or (c) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

        (1)   Any
Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(4) or
(5) will be registered in the names and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of DTC (in accordance with its customary procedures) and, except as
otherwise provided by Section 2.6(c), bear the Private Placement Legend set forth in Section 2.1(d). 

        (2)   In
connection with the exchange of a portion of a Definitive Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note, and the
Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to the transferring Holder a new Definitive Note representing the principal amount not so transferred. 

        Section 2.2.    Execution and Authentication.    One Officer of each Issuer shall
sign the Notes for such Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall
be valid nevertheless, after giving effect to any exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes. 

        A
Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually authenticates the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note
has been duly and validly authenticated and issued under this Indenture. A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

        At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery: (1) Initial Notes for
original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000, (2) Additional Notes for original issue and (3) Exchange Notes for issue only in an exchange offer
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, and only in 

29

 

exchange
for Initial Notes or Additional Notes of an equal principal amount, in each case upon a written order of the Issuers signed by two Officers of each Issuer or by an Officer and either an
Assistant Treasurer or an Assistant Secretary of each Issuer (the "Company Order"). Such Company Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the
date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional Notes or Exchange Notes. 

        The
Trustee may appoint an agent (the "Authenticating Agent") reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of
such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by the
Authenticating Agent. 

        In
case any Issuer or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article IV or Section 10.2, shall be consolidated or merged with
or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such
consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which any Issuer or any Guarantor 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 IV, 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 Company Order of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such order 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 2.2 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 2.3.
Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or
for exchange (the "Registrar") and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the "Paying Agent"). The Issuers shall cause
each of the Registrar and the Paying Agent to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and
exchange (the "Note Register"). The Issuers may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term "Paying
Agent" includes any additional paying agent. 

        The
Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms
of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. If the Issuers
fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent. 

        The
Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. 

        Section 2.4.    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.    By no later than
11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of, premium, if any, on or interest and Special Interest, if any, on, any Note is due and payable, the Issuers shall deposit
with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient in immediately available funds to pay such principal, premium, interest and Special Interest, if any, when due. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent
(other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal
of, or premium, if any, on, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers or any Guarantor in making any 

30

 

such
payment. If an Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuers at any time may require a
Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.4, the Paying
Agent (if other than an Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any
Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 

        Section 2.5.    Holder Lists.    The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form
as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, or to the extent otherwise required under the TIA, the
Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as
of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders. 

        Section 2.6.    Transfer and Exchange.    

        (a)   The
following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed transfer of a Rule 144A Note prior to the date which is two years after the later of the date of
its original issue and the last date on which the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the "Resale Restriction Termination
Date"): 

        (1)   a
transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to a QIB shall be made upon the representation of the transferee in the form as set forth on the
reverse of the Note that it is purchasing for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a "qualified institutional
buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the
Company as the undersigned has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing
representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and 

        (2)   a
transfer of a Rule 144A Note or a beneficial interest therein to a Non-U.S. Person shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee or its agent of a
certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.7(a) from the proposed transferee and, if requested by the Issuers or the Trustee, the delivery of an
opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to each of them. 

        (b)   (1) The
following provisions shall apply with respect to any proposed exchange of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note for beneficial
interests in the Rule 144A Global Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period: 

        Prior
to the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global
Note only if: 

        (A)  such
exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A; and 

        (B)  the
transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.7(b) from the
proposed transferee and, if requested by the Issuers or the Trustee, the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to each of them. 

        After
the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in the Regulation S Note may be transferred without requiring the certification set forth in
Section 2.7(b) or any additional certification. 

        (2)   Beneficial
interests in a Rule 144A Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Regulation S Global
Note, whether before or after the 

31

 

expiration
of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the trustee a written certificate (substantially in the form provided in
Section 2.7(a)) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if available)
and that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. 

        (3)   Transfers
involving exchanges of beneficial interests between the Regulation S Global Notes and the Rule 144A Global Notes will be effected by DTC by means
of an instruction originated by the Trustee through the DTC Deposit/Withdraw at Custodian system. Accordingly, in connection with any such transfer, appropriate adjustments will be made to reflect a
decrease in the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note and a corresponding increase in the principal amount of the Rule 144A
Global Note or vice versa, as applicable. 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 will become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and
other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for so long as it remains such an interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the policies and practices of
DTC may prohibit transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period. 

        (c)   Private
Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing a Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall
deliver Notes that do not bear a Private Placement Legend unless such transferee is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Issuers. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes
bearing a Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear a Private Placement Legend unless there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel 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. 

        (d)   The
Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.1 or this
Section 2.6. The Issuers shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon
the giving of reasonable prior written notice to the Registrar. 

        (e)   Obligations
with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes. 

        (1)   To
permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article II,
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar's or co-registrar's request. 

        (2)   No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer
tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges payable upon exchange or transfer
pursuant to Sections 3.7, 3.9, 5.8 or 9.5). 

        (3)   The
Registrar or co-registrar shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (i) any Notes selected for redemption (except in the case
of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or (ii) any Notes for a period beginning 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 

        (4)   Prior
to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may
deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, on and interest and Special
Interest, if any, on, such Note and for all 

32

 

other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 

        (5)   Any
Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.1(e) shall, except as otherwise
provided by Section 2.6(c), bear the Private Placement Legend set forth in Section 2.1(d). 

        (6)   All
Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 

        (7)   The
Registrar or any co-registrar may require certain documentation including but not limited to signature guarantees, before effecting any transfer or
exchange. 

        (f)    No
Obligation of the Trustee 

        (1)   The
Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to
the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant,
member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other Note or property) under or
with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of
the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the
applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial
owners. 

        (2)   The
Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants,
members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when
expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

        Section 2.8.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Wrongfully Taken Notes.    If a
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate
a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are
met, such that the Holder (a) makes such request to the Issuers or Trustee prior to the Issuer or Trustee having notice that the Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in
Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a "protected purchaser"), (b) files with the Issuer or the Trustee an indemnity bond, sufficient in
the judgment of the Issuers and the Trustee to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note
is replaced, and, in the absence of notice to the Issuers or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the
Trustee. 

        In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note,
pay such Note. 

35

 

        Upon
the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.8, the Issuers may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith. 

        Every
new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Issuers, any Guarantor (if applicable) and any other obligor upon the Notes, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken 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 2.8 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 wrongfully taken Notes. 

        Section 2.9.    Outstanding Notes.    Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes
authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those accepted by it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding. A
Note ceases to be outstanding in the event Parent, any Issuer or a Subsidiary of Parent or of any Issuer holds the Note, provided,  however, that
(i) for purposes of determining which are outstanding for consent or voting purposes hereunder, the provisions of
Section 12.6 shall apply and (ii) in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in making a determination whether the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of outstanding Notes are present at a meeting of Holders of Notes for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, or relying upon any such quorum, consent or vote, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be held by Parent or an
Affiliate thereof shall not be considered outstanding. 

        If
a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that
the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. 

        If
the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and
interest and Special Interest, if any, payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from
paying such money to the
Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 

        Section 2.10.    Cancellation.    The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else
shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and destroy such Notes in accordance with its internal policies, including delivery of a certificate
(a "Certificate of Destruction") describing such Notes disposal (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Issuers may not issue new Notes to
replace Notes they have paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for any reason other than in connection with a transfer or exchange. 

        Section 2.11.    Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest.    Interest and Special
Interest, if any, 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 at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 2.3. 

        Any
interest and Special Interest, if any, on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of
30 days shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular record date, 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 

36

 

thereon
herein collectively called "Defaulted Interest") shall be paid by the Issuers, at their election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or
(b) below: 

        (a)   The
Issuers 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 (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing
of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the "Special Interest Payment
Date"), and at the same time the Issuers 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 Trustee shall fix a record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which date shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Issuers, shall cause notice of the proposed payment
of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 12.2, 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 and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so
given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date 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 (b). 

        (b)   The
Issuers 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 Issuers 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 2.11, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of, transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest and Special Interest, if any, each as accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note. 

        Section 2.12.    Computation of Interest.    Interest on the Notes shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

        Section 2.13.    CUSIP Numbers.    The Issuers 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 as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP numbers. The Issuers shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing
of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

    Covenants  
    

        Section 3.1.    Payment of Notes.    The Company shall promptly pay the principal
of, premium, if any, on, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, interest and
Special Interest, if any, shall be 

37

 

considered
paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent, in its capacity as Trustee or Paying Agent, respectively, holds in accordance with this Indenture immediately available
funds deposited by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantor sufficient to pay all principal, premium, interest and Special Interest, if any, then due and the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case
may be, is not prohibited from paying money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 

        The
Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the
extent lawful. 

        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Issuers may, to the extent they are required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes
imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments hereunder. 

        Section 3.2.    Reports.    Whether or not required by the rules and regulations
of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will cause Parent to file with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules
and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing), and (if not filed electronically with the Commission) within such periods the Company will cause Parent to furnish to the Holders
of Notes or cause the Trustee to make available to such Holders for inspection: 

        (a)   all
quarterly and annual financial and other information with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries that would be required to be contained in a filing with the
Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Parent were required to file such Forms, including a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on Parent's consolidated financial statements by Parent's certified independent accountants; and 

        (b)   all
current reports and other information that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if Parent were required to file such
reports. 

        The
delivery of all such reports, documents and information to the Trustee does not imply any knowledge by the Trustee of the contents thereof nor shall such delivery constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable thereby or require any action by the Trustee other than to maintain the reports for examination by the Holders. 

        If,
at any time, Parent is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless cause Parent to continue filing the
reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the Commission within the time periods specified above unless the Commission will not accept such a filing. The Company will not
permit Parent to take any action for the purpose of causing the Commission not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission will not accept Parent's filings for any
reason, the Company will cause Parent to post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time periods that would apply if Parent were required to file those reports
with the SEC. 

        In
addition, the Company and the Guarantors shall, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file the reports required by the preceding
paragraphs with the Commission, furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors in the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to
Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. 

        Section 3.3.    Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.    

        (a)   The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become
directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not
issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company and its 

38

 

Restricted
Subsidiaries that are Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company's most recently ended four
full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued, as the
case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred
or the Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 

        (b)   The
provisions of Section 3.3(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively,
"Permitted Debt"): 

        (1)   the
incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time
outstanding under this Section 3.3(b)(1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and
its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the greater of $450.0 million and the Borrowing Base; 

        (2)   the
incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness; 

        (3)   the
incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Initial Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date and the
Exchange Notes and the related Note Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; 

        (4)   the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money
obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used
in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace,
defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(4), at any time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of
(a) $25.0 million and (b) 1.5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; 

        (5)   the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to
renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under
Section 3.3(a) or clauses (2), (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 3.3(b); 

        (6)   the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
provided, however, that: 

        (a)   if
the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to
the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and 

        (b)   (i) any
subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in
each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this
Section 3.3(b)(6); 

39

 

        (7)   the
issuance by any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however,
that: 

        (a)   any
subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company; and 

        (b)   any
sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, 

will
be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this Section 3.3(b)(7); 

        (8)   the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business; 

        (9)   the
guarantee by the Company or any of the Guarantors of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by
another provision of this covenant; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as
applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed; 

        (10) the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (including letters of credit) in respect of workers' compensation claims,
self-insurance obligations, bankers' acceptances, performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business; 

        (11) the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (including letters of credit) arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial
institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five business days; 

        (12) the
incurrence by Foreign Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding pursuant to this
Section 3.3(b)(12), not to exceed the greater of (a) $30.0 million and (b) 5.0% of the combined Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Foreign
Subsidiaries (or the equivalent thereof, measured at the time of each incurrence, in applicable foreign currency); 

        (13) Indebtedness
consisting of the financing of insurance premiums in customary amounts consistent with the operations and business of the Issuers and the Restricted
Subsidiaries; 

        (14) Indebtedness
incurred by a Receivables Subsidiary in a Qualified Receivables Financing that is not recourse to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
other than a Receivables Subsidiary (except for Standard Securitization Undertakings); 

        (15) Indebtedness
or Preferred Stock of Persons that are acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that such Indebtedness or Preferred Stock is not incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition or merger; and provided,
further, that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under
Section 3.3(a); and 

        (16) the
incurrence by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at
any time outstanding, not to exceed $35.0 million. 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right
of payment to any other Indebtedness of any Issuer or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated 

40

 

in
right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of
payment to any other Indebtedness of an Issuer solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis. 

        (d)   For
purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.3, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria
of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Section 3.3(b)(1) through (16) above, or is entitled to be incurred
pursuant to Section 3.3(a), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion
of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this
Indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on Section 3.3(b)(1). 

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

        (f)    The
amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 

        (1)   the
accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; 

        (2)   the
principal amount of the Indebtedness, together with any interest on the Indebtedness that is more than 30 days past due, in the case of any other
Indebtedness; and 

        (3)   in
respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: 

        (A)  the
Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and 

        (B)  the
amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person. 

If
at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date
(and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 3.3, the Company shall be in Default of this
Section 3.3). 

41

   
        Section 3.4.    Restricted Payments.    

        (a)   The
Issuers will not, and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 

        (1)   declare
or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests or to the
direct or indirect holders of the Company's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other
than Disqualified Stock) of the Company and other than dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company); 

        (2)   purchase,
redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company other than Equity Interests
owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 

        (3)   make
any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is
contractually subordinated to the Notes or to any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except (A) a
payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof and (B) the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation,
principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such purchase, repurchase or acquisition; or 

        (4)   make
any Restricted Investment 

(all
such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"), 

unless,
at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment: 

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

        (2)   the
Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the
applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.3(a); or 

        (3)   such
Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date
(excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (14) and (16) of Section 3.4(b)), is less than the sum,
without duplication, of: 

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

        (B)  100%
of the aggregate net cash proceeds received, and the Fair Market Value of property received from a non-Affiliate for use in a Permitted Business, by the
Company since the Issue Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of
convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than 

42

 

Equity
Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company or an employee stock ownership plan, option plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee
stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date
of determination); plus 

        (C)  to
the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue Date is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (i) the
cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (ii) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment; plus 

        (D)  to
the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company designated as such after the Issue Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date,
the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Company's Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such
Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date; plus 

        (E)  50%
of any dividends received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Guarantor after the Issue Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the
Company, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for such period; plus 

        (F)  $10.0 million.

        (b)   So
long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the preceding provisions of Section 3.4(a) will not
prohibit: 

        (1)   the
payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the
redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; 

        (2)   the
making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company)
of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Equity Interests issued or sold to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or
guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination) or from the substantially concurrent contribution
of common equity capital to the Company; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of the
preceding paragraph; 

        (3)   the
repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to
the Notes or to any Note Guarantee with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; 

        (4)   the
payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
(including a Receivables Subsidiary) to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis; 

        (5)   the
repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or Parent held
by any then-current or former officer, director or employee of the Company, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or Parent pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option
agreement, shareholders' agreement, management equity plan, incentive plan, stock option plan, or any other similar management or employee benefit plan; provided that the aggregate price paid for all
such 

43

 

repurchased,
redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $5.0 million in any twelve-month period (with unused amounts in any such 12-month period being carried
over to the next (and only the next) succeeding 12-month period); 

        (6)   the
repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock to the extent such Equity Interests represent a
portion of the exercise price of those stock options or the withholding tax obligations with respect to such exercise or vesting; 

        (7)   the
declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company issued on or after the Issue Date in accordance with Section 3.3(a); 

        (8)   any
payments made in connection with the consummation of the transactions closing contemporaneously with the issuance of the Initial Notes on the Issue Date on
substantially the terms described in the Offering Memorandum; 

        (9)   so
long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, repurchases of Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or a Note Guarantee at a
purchase price not greater than (i) 101% of the principal amount of such subordinated Indebtedness in the event of a Change of Control or (ii) 100% of the principal amount of such
subordinated Indebtedness in the event of an Asset Sale, in each case plus accrued interest, in connection with any change of control offer or asset sale offer required by the terms of such
Indebtedness, but only if: 

        (A)  in
the case of a Change of Control, the Company has first complied with and fully satisfied its obligations under Section 3.9; or 

        (B)  in
the case of an Asset Sale, the Company has complied with and fully satisfied its obligations under Section 3.7; 

        (10) the
repurchase, redemption or other acquisition for value of Capital Stock of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company representing fractional shares
of such Capital Stock in connection with a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other combination involving the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company; 

        (11) purchases
of receivables pursuant to a Receivables Repurchase Obligation in connection with a Qualified Receivables Financing; 

        (12) payments
contemplated by the Transition Agreements as in effect on the Issue Date, as the Transition Agreements may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to
time; provided, however, that any future amendment, modification, or supplement entered into after the Issue Date will be permitted to the extent that its terms do not adversely affect, as a whole,
the rights of any Holders of the Notes as compared to the terms of the agreements in effect on the Issue Date; 

        (13) the
payment of dividends on the Company's common equity capital (or the payment of dividends to Parent to fund a payment of dividends on Parent's common stock) after
the Issue Date, of an amount per annum equal to up to 6% of the net proceeds of Parent's public equity offering closing on the Issue Date; provided that any amounts so utilized are excluded from the

        (14) Permitted
Payments to Parent in the ordinary course of business; 

        (15) the
distribution, as a dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to,
Unrestricted Subsidiaries; 

        (16) payments
to Parent in respect of the tax liabilities owed by Parent as a result of Parent's ownership of membership interests in the Company or as a result of Parent
being the common parent of any consolidated or combined tax group under applicable law ("Tax Payments"). Any Tax Payment 

44

 

received
from the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be paid over to the appropriate taxing authority within 30 days of Parent's receipt of such Tax Payments or refunded to the Company or the
relevant Subsidiary; and 

        (17) other
Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $20.0 million since the Issue Date. 

        (c)   The
amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be
transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be
valued by this covenant will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company whose resolution with respect thereto will be delivered to the Trustee. For purposes of determining compliance with
this Section 3.4, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in (1) through (17) above or
is entitled to be made pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such Restricted Payment, or later classify, reclassify or
re-divide all or a portion of such Restricted Payment, in any manner that complies with this Section 3.4. 

        Section 3.5.    Liens.    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens. 

        Section 3.6.    Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting
Subsidiaries.    

        (a)   The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual
encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 

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

        (2)   make
loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 

        (3)   sell,
lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 

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

        (1)   agreements
governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements,
refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements, provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are not
materially more restrictive, taken as a
whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Issue Date; 

        (2)   this

agreement or other instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the
time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not
applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of

        (8)   Permitted

        Section 3.7.    Asset Sales.    

        (a)   The
Issuers will not, and will not permit any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 

        (1)   the
Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets
or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

        (2)   at
least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents or Additional Assets.
For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

        (A)  any
liabilities, as shown on the Company's most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and
liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from any further liability; 

        (B)  any
securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such
Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after the date of the Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and 

        (C)  any
stock or assets of the kind referred to in Section 3.7(b)(2) or (4). 

        (b)   Within
360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply those
Net Proceeds at its option: 

        (1)   to
repay Indebtedness and other Obligations under Credit Facilities that are permitted by clause (i) of the definition of "Permitted Debt" of the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Guarantor; 

        (2)   to
acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business (or a division or unit thereof), if, after giving effect to any
such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 

        (3)   to
make a capital expenditure; or 

        (4)   to
acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business. 

        (c)   Pending
the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuers may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that
is not prohibited by this Indenture. 

        (d)   Any
Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding Section 3.7(b) will constitute
"Excess Proceeds"; provided, that the 360-day period provided above to apply any portion of Net Proceeds in accordance with
Section 3.7(b)(2) or (4) shall be extended by an additional 90 days if, by not later than the 360th day after receipt of such Net Proceeds, the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has entered into a bona fide binding contract with a Person other than an Affiliate of the Company to make an investment of the type described in
Section 3.7(b)(2) or (4) in the amount of such Net Proceeds. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, within ten days thereof, the
Issuers will make an offer (an "Asset Sale Offer") to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that ranks pari passu with the Notes containing provisions
similar to 

47

 

those
set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such
other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest
and Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuers may use those Excess Proceeds
for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of
Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the
amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. If the Asset Sale Payment Date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and
unpaid interest (including Special Interest, if any) will be paid to the Holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no interest or Special Interest, if
any, will be payable to the Holder who tenders the Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. 

        (e)   The
Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable
law (the "Asset Sale Offer Period"). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period (the "Asset Sale Payment
Date"), the Company will purchase the principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness required to be purchased pursuant to this covenant (the "Asset Sale Offer
Amount") or, if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount has been so validly tendered, all Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness validly tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. On
or before the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Asset Sale Offer Amount of Notes and other pari
passu Indebtedness or portions thereof so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Asset Sale Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not
properly withdrawn, all Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn. The Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Notes
or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this covenant; and, in addition, the Company will make such deliveries of all certificates and notes as are
required by the agreements governing the other pari passu Indebtedness. The Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the
termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder of Notes, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such
Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon receipt by the Trustee of such an Officers' Certificate from the Company, will
authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. In addition, the Company will take any and all other
actions required by the agreements governing the other pari passu Indebtedness. Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will
publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Payment Date. 

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

        (g)   The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain the occurrence of an Asset Sale, or to determine or calculate Excess Proceeds, the Asset Sale Offer Period, the
Asset Sale Payment Date or the Asset Sale Offer Amount, or give any notice with respect thereto. The Trustee may conclusively assume, in 

48

 

the
absence of written notice to the contrary from the Company or a Holder or Holders of Notes, that no Asset Sale has occurred. 

        Section 3.8.    Transactions with Affiliates.    

        (a)   The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its
properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or Guarantee with, or for the
benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless: 

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

        (2)   the
Company delivers to the Trustee: 

        (A)  with
respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution
of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been
approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and 

        (B)  with
respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as
to the fairness to the Company or such Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing. 

        (b)   The
following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of
Section 3.8(a): 

        (1)   any
employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto; 

        (2)   transactions
between or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including Persons that become Restricted Subsidiaries as a result thereof); 

49

  

        (3)   transactions
with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or
through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 

        (4)   reasonable
fees and expenses and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors or employees of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiaries as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of Parent; 

        (5)   any
issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company; 

        (6)   Restricted
Payments that do not violate Section 3.4; 

        (7)   transactions
effected in connection with the transactions closing contemporaneously with the sale of the Initial Notes on the Issue Date, including the payment of all
fees and expenses, which transactions are described in the Offering Memorandum under the caption "Arrangements between Kerr-McGee and Our Company"; 

        (8)   any
transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing; 

        (9)   transactions
between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Company or any direct or indirect parent
company of the Company and such director is the sole cause for such Person to be deemed an Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such director abstains from
voting as director of the Company or such direct or indirect parent company, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person; 

        (10) any
contribution to the capital of the Company; and 

        (11) transactions
pursuant to any contract or agreement described in the Offering Memorandum under the caption "Arrangements between Kerr-McGee and Our Company,"
as in effect on the Issue Date, in each case as amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreements, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable
to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those in effect on the Issue Date. 

        Section 3.9.    Change of Control.    If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder
of Notes will have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of that Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (subject to the right of
Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). 

        Within
30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will mail a notice (the "Change of Control Offer") to each Holder with a copy to the
Trustee stating: 

        (1)   that
a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101%
of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of settlement (the "Change of Control Payment Date")
(subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the Change of Control Settlement Date) (the
"Change of Control Payment"); 

        (2)   the
purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the "Change of Control
Purchase Date"); and 

        (3)   the
procedures determined by the Company, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased. 

50

 

        On
the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000)
properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Promptly thereafter on the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Company will: 

        (1)   deposit
with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and 

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

        On
the Change of Control Payment Date, if the Company has properly complied with the requirements of items (1) and (2) immediately above, the Paying Agent will remit to
each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver to each Holder a new Note equal in
principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The Issuers
will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 

        If
the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if
any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no Special Interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of
Control Offer. 

        The
Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer, or (2) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 5.1, unless and until there has been a default in payment of
the applicable redemption price. 

        The
Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection
with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.9. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this
Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue of such
compliance. 

        The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain the occurrence of a Change of Control or to give notice with respect thereto. The Trustee may conclusively assume, in the absence of
written notice to the contrary from the Company, or a Holder or Holders of Notes, that no Change of Control has occurred. 

        Section 3.10.    Future Note Guarantees.    

        (a)   If
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then that newly acquired or
created wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and delivering
it and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 10 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created, as the case may be; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to
Subsidiaries of the Company that have properly been designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with this Indenture for so long as they continue to constitute Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and
provided, further, that any wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary. 

51

 

        (b)   Except
with respect to Permitted Debt, the Issuers will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to Guarantee or pledge any assets to
secure the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Issuers unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of
Exhibit C hereto providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary and/or the pledging of such assets on the same basis, as the
case may be, which Guarantee will be senior to or pari passu with such Restricted Subsidiary's Guarantee of or pledge to secure such other Indebtedness. 

        Section 3.11.    Sale and Leaseback Transactions.    The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that the Company or any Guarantor may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if: 

        (a)   the
Company or that Guarantor, as applicable, could have (i) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback
transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in Section 3.3(a) and (ii) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to
Section 3.5; 

        (2)   the
gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company and set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and 

        (3)   the
transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with,
Section 3.7. 

        Section 3.12.    Business Activities.    The Company will not, and will not permit
any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 

        Section 3.13.    Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.    The
Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than Tronox Finance so long as the Company is a limited liability company or a partnership) to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding
Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as Unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce
the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 3.4(a) or represent Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That
designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

        The
Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default. Any designation of a
Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officers'
Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 3.4. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary
would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under
Section 3.3, the Company will be in default thereof. 

        Section 3.14.    Maintenance of Office or Agency.    The Issuers will maintain in
The City of New York, an office or agency where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where, if applicable, the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The principal corporate 

52

 

trust
office of the Trustee, or if the Trustee's principal corporate trust office is not located in The City of New York, any other office or agency maintained by the Trustee in The City of New York
(the "Corporate Trust Office"), shall be such office or agency of the Issuers, unless the Issuers shall designate and maintain some other office or agency for one or more
of such purposes. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers shall fail to maintain any such
required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and the Issuers hereby appoint the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. 

        The
Issuers 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 Issuers of their obligation to
maintain an office or agency in The City of New York for such purposes. The Issuers 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 3.15.    Corporate Existence.    Subject to
Article IV and Section 10.2, each Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its corporate existence and that of each of their Restricted Subsidiaries and the corporate rights (charter and statutory) licenses and franchises of the Issuers and each of their Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to preserve any such existence (except the Company), right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers and each of their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof
would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuers to perform their obligations under the Notes or this Indenture, provided further that the Company and the Guarantors may merge in
accordance with Sections 4.1 and 10.2. 

        Section 3.16.    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.    The Issuers will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuers or any
Restricted Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might
by law become a material liability or lien upon the property of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary, except for any Lien permitted to be incurred pursuant to subsections (7) and
(10) of the definition of "Permitted Liens"; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any
such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves, if necessary (in the good
faith judgment of management of the Issuers), are being maintained in accordance with GAAP or where the failure to pay or discharge the same would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of
the Issuers to perform its obligations under the Notes or this Indenture. 

        Section 3.17.    Compliance Certificate.    The Issuers shall deliver to the
Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuers an Officers' Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the
Issuers they would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the
certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuers are is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Issuers also shall comply with TIA
§ 314(a)(4). 

        Section 3.18.    Further Instruments and Acts.    Upon the reasonable request of
the Trustee, the Issuers will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this
Indenture. 

53

 

        Section 3.19.    Statement by Officers as to Default.    The Issuers shall deliver
to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within 5 Business Days after any Issuer becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default an Officers' Certificate setting forth
the details of such Event of Default or Default and the action which the Issuers are taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. 

        Section 3.20.    Payments for Consent.    The Company will not, and will not
permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent,

ARTICLE IV    
    
    Successor Company  
    

        Section 4.1.    Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.    Neither Issuer will,
directly or indirectly: (a) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Issuer is the surviving corporation); or (b) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of its respective properties or assets taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless: 

        (1)   either:
(a) such Issuer is the surviving entity; or (b) the Person (the "Successor Company") formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability
company organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, that Tronox Finance may not consolidate or merge with or into
any entity other than a corporation satisfying such requirements for so long as the Company remains a limited liability company or a partnership; 

        (2)   the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement; 

        (3)   immediately
after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; 

54

 

        (4)   such
Issuer or the Successor Company (if other than such Issuer), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made: 

        (A)  would
have Consolidated Net Worth immediately after the transaction equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of such Issuer immediately preceding the
transaction; or 

        (B)  would,
on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the
applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 3.3; or 

        (C)  would,
on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and to any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of
the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available, have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio that is not less than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the
Company for such period calculated without giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions; and 

        (5)   the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and such
supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the applicable provision of this Indenture. 

        In
addition, such Issuer will not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or
more related transactions, to any other Person. 

        For
purposes of this covenant, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more
Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on
a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 

        The
Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the particular Issuer under this Indenture, but, in the case of a lease of all
or substantially all its assets, the particular Issuer will not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes. 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (x) any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or
any Guarantor, (y) any Issuer may merge with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating such Issuer in another jurisdiction and (z) the Company may reorganize as a
corporation in accordance with the procedures established in this Indenture, provided that (i) the corporation is organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof
or the District of Columbia, (ii) the corporation assumes all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and this Indenture and (iii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such reorganization.

discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, notices of redemption may not be conditional. The Trustee shall give notice of redemption in the Issuers' names and at
the Issuers' expense; provided, however, that the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the

on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in
Section 5.7) will become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuers default in making the redemption
payment, that interest and Special Interest, if any, on Notes (or the portions thereof) called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after said date; 

        (7)   the
place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any; 

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

        (9)   that

        Section 5.6.    Deposit of Redemption Price.    Not later than 11:00 a.m.

in Section 2.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest and Special Interest, if any, on, all the Notes which are to be
redeemed on that date. 

        Section 5.7.    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 accrued and unpaid interest and

the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiple thereof. No Notes of $1,000 or less may be redeemed in part. 

 
 

ARTICLE VI    
    
    Defaults and Remedies  
    

        Section 6.1.    Events of Default.    Each of the following is an
"Event of Default": 

        (1)   default
in the payment when due of interest or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes continues for a period of 30 days; 

        (2)   default
in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; 

        (3)   failure
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.7, 3.9
or 4.1 hereof; 

        (4)   failure
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice to the Company to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture
not specified in clauses (1) through (3) above; 

        (5)   default
under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is
created after the Issue Date, if that default: 

        (a)   is
caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such
Indebtedness on the date of such default (a "Payment Default"); or 

        (b)   results
in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, 

and,
in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of
which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; 

        (6)   failure
by an Issuer or any of the Company's Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess
of $5.0 million (net of any amount with respect to which a reputable and solvent insurance company has acknowledged liability in writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for
a period of 60 days; 

        (7)   except
as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force
and effect, or any Guarantor, or any 

58

 

Person
acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; and 

        (8)   (a)
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the
Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: 

	(i)
	commences
a voluntary case or proceeding;

	(ii)
	consents
to the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

	(iii)
	consents
to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property;

	(iv)
	makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

	(v)
	consents
to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it; 

or
takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or 

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

	(i)
	is
for relief against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial
statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

	(ii)
	appoints
a Custodian of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated
financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its Property; or

	(iii)
	orders
the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited
consolidated financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; 

or
any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order, decree or relief remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days. 

        However,
a Default under clause (4) of this Section 6.1 will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the
Company, and the Trustee in the case of a notice given by the Holders, of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (5) of this
Section 6.1 after receipt of such notice. 

        Section 6.2.    Acceleration.    If any Event of Default (other than those of the
type described in clause (8) of Section 6.1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may and, at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, shall declare the principal of all the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, and premium, if any, to be due
and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Issuers and, in case of a notice by Holders, also to the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a notice of
acceleration, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. 

        In
the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1, all outstanding Notes shall become due and
payable immediately without further action or notice by the Trustee or the Holders. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture. 

59

 

        At
any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (by notice to the Trustee) may, on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences if: 

        (1)   the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; 

        (2)   all
existing Defaults and Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal of or interest or premium or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes
that has become due solely by reason of such declaration of acceleration; 

        (3)   to
the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest (at the same rate specified in the Notes) on overdue installments of interest and Special Interest, if
any, and overdue payments of principal which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration has been paid; 

        (4)   the
Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and 

        (5)   in
the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (8) of Section 6.1, the Trustee has
received an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an Event of Default listed in clause (5) of Section 6.1 shall have occurred and been continuing, such Event
of Default and any consequential acceleration shall be automatically rescinded if (i) the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been repaid or (ii) if the default
relating to such Indebtedness is waived or cured and if such Indebtedness has been accelerated, then the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such
Indebtedness. 

        Section 6.3.    Other Remedies.    If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance
of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. 

        The
Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any
other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. 

        Section 6.4.    Waiver of Past Defaults.    The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, (a) waive, by their consent (including consents obtained in connection with a
purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences or compliance with any provisions except (i) a Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on a Note or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under
Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected and (b) rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its
consequences if rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right. 

        Section 6.5.    Control by Majority.    The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2, that
the 

60

 

Trustee
determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. 

        Section 6.6.    Limitation on Suits.    Subject to
Section 6.7, a Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 

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

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

        (3)   such
Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; 

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

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

        A
Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. 

        Section 6.7.    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.    Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture (including Section 6.6), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium (if any) or
interest or Special Interest, if any, when due on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 

        Section 6.8.    Collection Suit by Trustee.    If an Event of Default specified in
clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.1 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Issuers for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in
Section 7.7. 

        Section 6.9.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.    The Trustee may file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to Parent, the
Issuers, their Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee
in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that
the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate in any such
proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties
that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder,
or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 

61

 

        Section 6.10.    Priorities.    If the Trustee collects any money or property
pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order: 

        FIRST:    to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7; 

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

        THIRD:    to the Issuers or the Guarantors or to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 

        The
Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such
record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. 

        Section 6.11.    Undertaking for Costs.    In any suit for the enforcement of any
right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by
the Issuers, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes. 

        Section 6.12.    Additional Payments.    In the case of any Event of Default
occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Issuers with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Issuers would have had to pay
if the Issuers then had elected to redeem the Notes on or after            , 2009 pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of this Indenture, an equivalent premium shall also become
and be
immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to            , 2009 by reason of any willful action (or
inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Issuers with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to such date, then the premium specified in this Indenture
with the respect to the first year that the Notes may be redeemed at the Issuers' option (other than with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering) shall also become immediately due and payable to
the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. 

        Section 6.13.    Waiver of Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.    Each of the Issuers
and the Guarantors covenant (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay,
extension or usury law or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Issuers or any Guarantor from paying all of any portion of the
principal of (premium, if any, on) or interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes as contemplated herein, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that they 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.

ARTICLE VII    
    
    Trustee  
    

        Section 7.1.    Duties of Trustee.    (a) If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs; provided that if such an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to
exercise the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security against loss, liability or
expense satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion. 

        (b)   Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge: 

        (1)   the
Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee; and 

        (2)   in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates, opinions or orders furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this
Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). 

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

        (1)   this
paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1; 

        (2)   the
Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and 

        (3)   the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to
Section 6.5. 

        (d)   Every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 7.1. 

        (e)   The
Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuers. 

        (f)    Money
held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

        (g)   No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. 

        (h)   Every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 7.1 and to the provisions of the TIA. 

        (i)    Unless
otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from any Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the
Company. 

63

 

        (j)    The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless
such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 

        (k)   The
Trustee shall have no duty to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture believed by the
Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 

        Section 7.2.    Rights of Trustee.    Subject to
Section 7.1: 

        (a)   The
Trustee may conclusively rely on any document (whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 

        (b)   Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers' Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. 

        (c)   The
Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. 

        (d)   The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, unless the
Trustee's conduct constitutes willful misconduct or negligence. 

        (e)   The
Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall
be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such
counsel. 

        (f)    The
Trustee is not required to make any inquiry or investigation into facts or matters stated in any document but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee determines to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records
and premises of the Company. 

        (g)   The
Trustee is not required to take notice or shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or has received notice in writing of such Default or Event of Default from any Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, and in the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such Default or Event of Default exists. 

        (h)   The
Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture. 

        (i)    In
the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of Notes, each representing less than the
aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding required to take any action thereunder, the Trustee, in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken. 

        (j)    The
Trustee's immunities and protections from liability and its right to indemnification in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture shall
extend to the Trustee's officers, directors, agents, attorneys and employees. Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustee's right to compensation, shall
survive the Trustee's resignation or removal, the discharge of this Indenture and final payments of the Notes. 

        (k)   The
permissive right of the Trustee to take actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so and the Trustee shall not be
answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act. 

64

  

        Section 7.3.    Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its commercial banking or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Affiliate of the Trustee, and any Paying
Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent, may do the same with like rights. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the
TIA) it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. The Trustee is
also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 

        Section 7.4.    Trustee's
Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of
this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers' use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuers in this Indenture or in
any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication. 

        Section 7.5.    Notice
of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge
thereof, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of Holders. 

        Section 7.6.    Reports
by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each May 15 beginning with the May 15
following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as the Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with
TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports required by
TIA § 313(c). 

        A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Issuers agree to notify
promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof. 

        Section 7.7.    Compensation
and Indemnity. The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its
acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Issuers and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation
of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of
collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuers shall indemnify the Trustee against
any and all loss, liability, damages, claims or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it without negligence or willful misconduct on its part in
connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including, but not limited to, this
Section 7.7) and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuers or otherwise). The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of
any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the
Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers' expense in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel provided that
the Issuers shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if they assume the Trustee's defense, and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, there is no conflict of
interest between the Issuers and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Issuers shall not be under any obligation to pay for any written settlement without their 

65

 

consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct or negligence. 

        Anything
in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including but not limited to lost profits) even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. 

        To
secure the Issuers' payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of, interest and Special Interest, if any, on particular Notes. 

        The
Issuers' payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after
the occurrence of a Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 with respect to any Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 

        Section 7.8.    Replacement
of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuers shall remove the Trustee if: 

	(1)
	the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

	(2)
	the
Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

	(3)
	a
receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

	(4)
	the
Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 

        If
the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuers or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint
a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuers shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee. 

        A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders.
The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7. 

        If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition, at the Issuers' expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

        If
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as provided in TIA § 310(b), any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

        Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuers' obligations under
Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 

        Section 7.9.    Successor
Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking 

66

 

association,
the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 

        In
case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at
that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor
to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture. 

        Section 7.10.    Eligibility;
Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b);
provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates
of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuers are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met. 

        Section 7.11.    Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Issuers. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated. 

 
 

ARTICLE VIII
  
    Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance  

        Section 8.1.    Option
to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuers may, at any time at the option of their respective
Boards of Directors, evidenced by a Board Besolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 be
applied to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article VIII. 

        Section 8.2.    Legal
Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.1 of the
option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Issuers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.4, be deemed to have been discharged from their Obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance") and each Guarantor shall be released from all of its Obligations under its Note Guarantee. For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of
Section 8.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) through (d) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Sections
8.4 and 8.5 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Special Interest, if
any, on such Notes when such payments are due; (b) the Issuers' Obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Sections
3.1 and 3.14; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuers' and the Guarantors' Obligations in
connection therewith; and (d) this Article VIII. If the Issuers exercise under Section 8.1 the option applicable to this
Section 8.2, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated
because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuers may exercise their option under this
Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3. 

67

 

        Section 8.3.    Covenant
Defeasance. Upon the Issuers' exercise under Section 8.1 of the option
applicable to this Section 8.3, the Issuers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, be
released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.2 through 3.13, 3.15 (other than with
respect to the Company's corporate existence), 3.16, 3.17 and 3.21, and the operation of clause (4) of
Section 4.1 hereof, with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 are
satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance") and each Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Note Guarantee with respect to such covenants in
connection with such outstanding Notes and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and
the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be
deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall
have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by
reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.1, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Issuers exercise under
Section 8.1 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 8.4, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clauses (3), (4) (with respect to Sections
3.2 through 3.13, 3.15 (other than with respect to the Company's corporate existence), 3.16, and
3.17 and clause (4) of Section 4.1), (5), (6) and (8) of such Section 6.1 (but
in the case of clause (8) of Section 6.1, with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only). 

        Section 8.4.    Conditions
to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either
Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof to the outstanding Notes. 

        In
order to exercise Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: 

        (1)
the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or
a combination of cash in U.S. dollars, and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants (which opinion shall be addressed to and delivered to the Trustee), to pay the principal of, and interest, Special Interest, if any, and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the
date of fixed maturity or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to the date of fixed maturity or to a particular
Redemption Date; 

        (2)
in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that: 

        (a)
the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or 

        (b)
since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, 

in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income
tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax in the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
Defeasance had not occurred; 

        (3)
in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize
income, gain or 

68

 

loss
for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax in 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; 

        (4)
no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be
applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which
the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound; 

        (5)
such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this
Indenture) to which the Issuers or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound; 

        (6)
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over
the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and 

        (7)
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the
Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 

        Section 8.5.    Deposited
Cash and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to
Section 8.6, all cash and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee),
collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.4 in respect of
the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become
due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, interest and Special Interest, if any, but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

        The
Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited
pursuant to Section 8.4 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 VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of
the Company any cash or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
independent registered public accounting firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under clause (1) of
Section 8.4 hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. 

        Section 8.6.    Repayment
to Company. Any cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited with the Trustee or any Paying
Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after
such principal, premium, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request (unless an abandoned property law designates another
Person) or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Company as Trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying 

69

 

Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuers cause to be published once, in The New York Times and  The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall
not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. 

        Section 8.7.    Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable Government Securities
in accordance with Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.5, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers' obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.4 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash and securities in
accordance with Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.5, as the case may be; provided,
however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. 

 
 

ARTICLE IX
  
    Amendments  

        Section 9.1.    Without
Consent of Holders. The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes
or the Note Guarantees without notice to or consent of any Holder: 

         (1)  to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; 

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

         (3)  to
provide for the assumption of an Issuer's or a Guarantor's obligations to Holders of Notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all
or substantially all of such Issuer's or such Guarantor's assets, as applicable; 

         (4)  to
make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture
of any Holder; 

         (5)  to
comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; 

         (6)  to
conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the section of the Offering Memorandum entitled "Description of Notes" to the
extent such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees; 

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

         (8)  to
allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes; 

         (9)  to

       (10)  to
secure the Notes; or 

       (11)  to
evidence and provide for the acceptance under this Indenture of a successor trustee. 

        After
an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Issuers are required to mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such
notice to all the 

70

 

Holders,
or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or supplemental indenture under this Section 9.1. 

        Section 9.2.    With
Consent of Holders. The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or
the Note Guarantees without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without
limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this
Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in
connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). 

        However,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): 

        (1)
reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; 

        (2)
reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes (other than provisions relating to
Sections 3.7 and 3.9); 

        (3)
reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note; 

        (4)
waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium or Special Interest, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes
by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); 

        (5)
make any Note payable in currency other than that stated in the Notes; 

        (6)
make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or
premium, if any, on the Notes; 

        (7)
waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Section 3.7 or 3.9); 

        (8)
release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or 

        (9)
make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions. 

        It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of the Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder's
Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender. 

        After
an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or
any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment supplemental indenture or waiver under this Section 9.2. 

        Section 9.3.    Compliance
with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA
as then in effect. 

        Section 9.4.    Revocation
and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the
Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note.
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder's Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. 

71

  

        For purposes of this Indenture, the written consent of the Holder of a Global Note shall be deemed to include any consent delivered by an Agent Member by electronic means in accordance
with the Automated Tender Offer Procedures system or other customary procedures of, and pursuant to authorization by, DTC. 

        The
Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or
required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date
(or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons
continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall become valid or effective more than 120 days after such record date. 

        Section 9.5.
Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver
it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuers or the Trustee so determine, the
Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not
affect the validity of such amendment. 

        Section 9.6.
Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this
Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If the amendment does so affect the Trustee, the
Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Sections
7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel both stating that such amendment is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. 

 
 

ARTICLE X
  
    Note Guarantee  

        Section 10.1.
Note Guarantee. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X and
Section 12.10, each Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other
Guarantor, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise,
of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes and all other monetary Obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture. Each Guarantor further agrees (to the
extent permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this
Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. 

        Each
Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives
notice of any default under the Notes or the 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 any 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 Note held by any
Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations owed to any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; or (f) any change in the
ownership of any Issuer. 

        Each
Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein 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 Note held for payment of the Obligations. 

72

 

        Except
as expressly set forth in Article VIII and Section 10.2, 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 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 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 the Trustee or 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 any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a
matter of law or equity. 

        Each
Guarantor further agrees that its Note 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 or Special Interest, if any, on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company 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 any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers
to pay any of the 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 Obligations then due and owing and
(ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and except as provided in
Section 10.2. 

        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 Obligations Guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Obligations Guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee. 

        Each
Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in
enforcing any rights under this Section 10.1. 

        Section 10.2.
Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge. 

        (a)   The
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or
pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer
under federal or state law. 

        (b)   Subject
to Article IV and Section 3.7, a Subsidiary Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor,
unless: 

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

73

 

        (2)   either: 

        (A)  the
Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of
that Guarantor under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement on terms set forth therein pursuant to a supplemental indenture substantially in the form set forth as
Exhibit C to this Indenture; or 

        (B)  the
Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with Section 3.7. 

        (c)   A
Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to the Company or another Guarantor without
limitation, except to the extent that any such transaction is subject to the provisions of Article IV and Section 3.7. 

        (d)   The
Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released and the Guarantor will be relieved of its obligations under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee without any further
action required on the part of the Company or such Guarantor: 

        (1)   in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person
that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, if the sale or other disposition does not violate
Section 3.7; or 

        (2)   in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not
(either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, if the sale or other disposition does not violate
Section 3.7; or 

        (3)   if
the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; 

        (4)   upon
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as provided in Article VIII or upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as
provided in Article XI; or 

        (5)   at
such time as such Guarantor ceases to have outstanding guarantees of any Indebtedness under the Credit Facility. 

        Section 10.3.
Limitation of Guarantors' Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention
of all such parties that the Guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Note Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders, Trustee and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably
agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor
and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to
Section 10.4, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting such a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer. This
Section 10.3 is for the benefit of the creditors of each Guarantor. 

        Section 10.4.
Contribution. The Guarantors shall have the right to contribution from any non-paying Guarantors so long as the exercise of
such right does not impair the rights of the Holders. 

74

        (1)   either:

Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in
trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

        (b)   all
Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the
mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise and any Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of
the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as

premium, if any, and accrued interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of fixed maturity or redemption; 

        (2)   no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds

Communication by Holders with other Holders. Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other Holders with

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, and may state that it is so based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
or representations by, an Officer or Officers of an Issuer or such Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in possession of such Issuer or such Guarantor, unless
such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and 

        (4)   a
statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with. 

        Section 12.6.
When Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction,
waiver or consent, Notes owned by Parent, any Issuer or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with Parent or any Issuer shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which
the Trustee has actual knowledge are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]
  
    [    ]% Senior Note due 2012    

1.    Interest 

        Tronox
Worldwide LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Company"), and Tronox Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Tronox
Finance" and, together with the Company, the "Issuers"), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. 

        The
Issuers will pay interest semiannually in arrears in cash on [            ] and [            ] of each year or if any such day
is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day (each an "Interest Payment Date") commencing on [            ], 2006 and will pay
Special Interest, if any, as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement relating to these Notes. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on the
Notes or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [            ], 2005. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal and interest and Special Interest, if
any, from time to time at a rate that is 1% per annum higher than the interest rate then in effect under the Indenture and this Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. 

2.    Method of Payment 

        By
no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal of, interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on, any Note is due and payable, the
Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay such principal, interest and premium and Special Interest, if any. The Issuers will pay principal, interest (except
Defaulted Interest) and premium and Special Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on [            ] or
[            ] preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if Notes are cancelled, repurchased or redeemed after the record date and on or before the Interest Payment Date.
Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuers will pay principal, interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, in money of the United States that at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of all principal, interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes will be made to each registered
Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds if that Holder has given to the Issuers, through the Paying Agent or otherwise, wire instructions at least five business days prior to the
applicable payment date or by check mailed to the address of the Holder as it appears on the
books of the registrar if the Holder has not provided wire instructions; provided that the final distribution in respect of any Note will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at
the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. 

3.    Paying Agent and Registrar 

        Initially,
Citibank, N.A. (the "Trustee"), will act as Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or
co-registrar without prior notice to any Holder of the Notes. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. 

4.    Indenture 

        The
Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of November    , 2005 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof,
the "Indenture"), among the Issuers, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the Issue Date (the
"Act"). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all terms in the Indenture, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those 

A-5

 

terms.
To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 

        The
Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Issuers. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture is limited to an
aggregate principal amount at maturity of $350,000,000, subject to the Issuers' ability to issue Additional Notes. The Indenture imposes certain limitations, among other things, on the ability of the
Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries to make Investments; incur additional Indebtedness or issue Preferred Stock; create certain Liens; sell assets; enter into agreements that restrict dividends
or other payments from the Restricted Subsidiaries; consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuers and their Restricted Subsidiaries; engage in transactions with
Affiliates; pay dividends or make other distributions on Capital Stock or subordinated Indebtedness; enter into different lines of business; create Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and enter into sale and
leaseback transactions. 

        To
guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuers under the
Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors have
unconditionally guaranteed (and future Guarantors, together with the Guarantors, will unconditionally guarantee), jointly and severally, such obligations pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. 

5.    Redemption 

        Except
as forth below, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Issuers prior to [            ], 2009. On and after such date, the Notes will be
redeemable, at the Issuers' option, in whole or in part, at any time upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's registered address, at
the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date) if redeemed during the 12-month
period commencing on [            ] of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
relevant Interest Payment Date: 

 

	Period
 
	 	Redemption Price
	 
	2009	 	 	%
	2010	 	 	%
	2011 and thereafter	 	100.000	%

        In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to [            ], 2008, the Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate
principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) at a redemption price of [            ]% of the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided, that (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, calculated after giving effect to
any issuance of Additional Notes, originally issued under the Indenture (including Notes held by Parent, any Issuer and their Subsidiaries) remains outstanding after each such redemption and
(2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of such Equity Offering. 

        Notice
of any redemption upon an Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers' discretion,
be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of the related Equity Offering. 

        If
the optional Redemption Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any,
will be paid to the 

A-6

 

Person
in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no Special Interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Issuers. 

        In
the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed, then on a pro rata basis, although no Notes of $1,000 in original principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. If
any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to
the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuers have deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the Indenture. 

6.    Mandatory Redemption 

        The
Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, the Issuers may be required to offer to repurchase the Notes under
Sections 3.7 and 3.9 of the Indenture. 

7.    Repurchase Provisions 

	(a)
	Upon
a Change of Control any Holder of Notes will have the right to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Notes of such Holder at a purchase price in cash equal to
101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to
receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of repurchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

	(b)
	In
the event of an Asset Sale that requires the purchase of Notes pursuant to Section 3.7(d) of the Indenture, the Company will be required to
apply such Excess Proceeds to the repayment of the Notes and any pari passu Indebtedness in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 3.7 of the Indenture. 

8.    Denominations; Transfer; Exchange 

        The
Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of principal amount of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance
with the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuers nor the Registrar are required to register the transfer or exchange of (i) any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be
redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or (ii) any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 

9.    Persons Deemed Owners 

        The
registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 

10.    Unclaimed Money 

        If
money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for one year, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned
property law 

A-7

 

designates
another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment. 

11.    Defeasance 

        Subject
to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuers at any time may terminate some or all of their obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit
with the Trustee money or non-callable Government Securities for the payment of principal, premium, interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the
case may be. 

12.    Amendment, Waiver 

        Subject
to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Notes may be amended with the written consent or electronic consent pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 9.4 of the Indenture, as applicable, of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and
(ii) any default (other than with respect to nonpayment or in respect of a provision that cannot be amended without the written consent of each Holder affected) or noncompliance with any
provision may be waived with the written consent or electronic consent pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 9.4 of the Indenture, as applicable, of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuers, the Guarantors and
the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article IV of the Indenture, or to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, or to add guarantees with respect to the Notes, to release a Guarantor in accordance with the Indenture or to secure the Notes,
or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental Indenture or Note Guarantee, or to provide additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes, or to comply with any requirement of the
Commission in connection with qualifying or maintaining the qualification of the Indenture under the Act, or to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder, or to conform
the text of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to the description of notes in the Offering Memorandum, or to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes or to evidence or provide for a
successor trustee. 

13.    Defaults and Remedies 

        Under
the Indenture, Events of Default include in summary form: (i) default for 30 days in payment of interest or Special Interest, if any, when due on the Notes;
(ii) default in payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of principal or premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) the failure by the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiaries to comply with their obligations under Sections 3.7, 3.9 or 4.1 of the Indenture; (iv) the
failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the Indenture or under the Notes (other than those
referred to in (i), (ii), or (iii) above); (v) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such
Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or Special Interest or premium, if any, on
such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default ("Payment Default") or (b) results in the
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness
under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; (vi) failure by an Issuer or any of the Company's
Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $5.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed
for a period of 60 days, (vii) except as permitted by the 

A-8

 

Indenture,
any Note Guarantee is held in a judicial proceeding to be not enforceable or valid or ceases to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor or other Person acting on its behalf denies or
disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee or (viii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or group of Restricted
Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. 

        If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default described in clause (vi) above), the Trustee may, or at the written direction of the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Notes
being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 

        Holders
may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives reasonable
indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders notice of any
continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. 

14.    Trustee Dealings with the Issuers 

        Subject
to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may
otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. 

15.    No Recourse Against Others 

        No
manager, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of any Issuer, or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the
Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations of their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. 

16.    Authentication 

        This
Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent acting on its behalf) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other
side of this Note. 

17.    Abbreviations 

        Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with
rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= custodian) and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gift to Minors Act). 

18.    Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Notes 

        In
addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Notes that are Initial Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of [                        ], 2005, among the Company, Parent and the parties named in the signature
pages thereto or, in the case of Additional Notes,
Holders of Restricted Notes that are Additional Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more Registration Rights Agreements, if any, among the Company and 

A-9

 

the
other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Company to the purchasers of such Additional Notes. 

19.    CUSIP Numbers 

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

20.    Governing Law 

        This

the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or
portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuers have deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to the Indenture.

Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such
Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or Special Interest or premium, if any, on
such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default ("Payment Default") or (b) results in the
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness
under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; (vi) failure by an Issuer or any of the Company's

Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. 

B-7

 

        If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default described in clause (vi) above), the Trustee may, or at the written direction of the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Notes
being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default. 

        Holders
may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives reasonable
indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their
interest. 

	14.

to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may
otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
