ARTICLE 2
THE NOTES
Section 2.01    Form and Dating.
(a)    General.  The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.  The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage; provided that any such notations, legends or endorsements are in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.  Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication.  Each Note will bear interest at a rate of 10.250% per annum from the Issue Date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with October 15, 2018, to holders of record at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1, whether or not such date is a Business Day, immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date.  Interest will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Interest on the Notes shall be payable entirely in cash on the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
(b)    Global Notes.  Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).  Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).  Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.  Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.
(c)    Temporary Global Notes.  Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.  After the expiration of the Restricted Period and, unless not at that time required pursuant to the Applicable Procedures, upon the receipt by the Trustee of:
(1)    certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any 

-27-

beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b) hereof); and
(2)    an Officer’s Certificate from the Company
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.  Simultaneously with such exchange of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note.  The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interests as hereinafter provided.
(d)    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 Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.
(e)    Issuance of Additional Notes.  Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be issued from time to time by the Company without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes (other than the issue date, the issue price, the first Interest Payment Date and the initial interest accrual date) and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes; provided that the Company’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 4.09 hereof; provided, further, that any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP.

Section 2.02    Execution and Authentication.
At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.
A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee.  The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.
The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”), together with the other documents required under Sections 13.02 and 13.03 hereof, authenticate (i) Notes for original issue, of which $360,000,000 in aggregate principal amount will be issued on the Issue Date and (ii) any Additional Notes.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03    Registrar and Paying Agent.

-28-

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).  The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.04    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money.  If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.  Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05    Holder Lists.
The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

Section 2.06    Transfer and Exchange.
(a)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.  All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:
(1)    the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;
(2)    the Company in its sole discretion determines, subject to the procedures of the Depositary, that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the expiration of 

-29-

the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Trustee of the certificates required pursuant to Section 2.01(c) hereof; or
(3)    there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes and a majority of the beneficial owners thereof have requested such exchange.
Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in Section 2.06(a)(1) or (2) hereof, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.  Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note.  A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b), (c), (d) or (f) hereof.
(b)    Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures.  None of the Company, Trustee, Paying Agent, nor any Agent of the Company shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.  Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.  Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

(h)    Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes.  At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(%4)    To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.
(%4)    No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05 hereof).
(%4)    [Reserved].
(%4)    All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(%4)    Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:
(A)    to issue, to register the transfer of, or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

-37-

(B)    to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or
(C)    to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.
(%4)    Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to the record date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(10)    Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository. 

Section 2.07    Replacement Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met.  An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee).
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Company in its sole discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in exchange for any mutilated Note or in lieu of any destroyed, lost, or stolen Note will constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes.

-38-

Section 2.08    Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to the Company for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.
None of the Company, the Trustee, or any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Beneficial Owner in a Global Note, a Participant, an Indirect Participant or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant or Indirect Participant, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any a Participant, Indirect Participant, Beneficial Owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Note.  All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of the Global Note).  The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures.  The Company, the Trustee, and each Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Participants, Indirect Participants and any Beneficial Owners.  The Company, the Trustee, and each Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Note (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Note) as the sole holder of such Global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof.  None of the Company, the Trustee, or any Agent have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Note, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Note, for any transactions between the Depositary and any Participant, Indirect Participant or between or among the Depositary, any such Participant and Indirect Participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Note, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Note or shall impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Note.

Section 2.09    Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be 

-39-

protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10    Temporary Notes.
Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11    Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act).  Evidence of the disposition of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon the Company’s request.  The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12    Defaulted Interest.
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof; provided that if the Company pays the defaulted interest prior to the date that is 30 days after the date of default in payment of interest, payment shall be to the recordholders of the Notes as of the original record date.  The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment.  If such default in interest continues for 30 days, the Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.  At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed (or with respect to Global Notes, to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically) to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13    CUSIP Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in “CUSIP” or other similar numbers.

If the Notes are represented by Global Notes, interests in such Global Notes will be selected for redemption or purchase by DTC in accordance with its applicable procedures.
In the event of partial redemption or purchase, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.
The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased.  Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased; provided, that the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03    Notice of Redemption.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or with respect to Global Notes, to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or sent more than 90 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof.

(4)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(5)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(6)    that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(8)    that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and
(9)    if the redemption is conditional, the one or more conditions precedent and that the Company may delay the redemption in its discretion until such time as the condition or conditions are satisfied or waived.
At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 5 days prior to the delivery of the notice to the Holders (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04    Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Except as provided in Section 3.07(f) hereof, once notice of redemption is mailed or transmitted in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.  The notice, if mailed or transmitted in a manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or by such other means as may be required hereby or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.  Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portion thereof called for redemption.

Section 3.05    Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.06    Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue, and upon receipt of an Authentication Order, together with the documents required in Sections 13.02 and 13.03 hereof, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered (or transfer such Note by book entry).

(f)    Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.  Any redemption (including with net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering) made pursuant to this Section 3.07, at the Company’s discretion, may be subject to one or more conditions precedent to such redemption, including, but not limited to, consummation of any related Equity Offering, consummation of a Change of Control or consummation of a refinancing of any Indebtedness.  In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.  If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business one Business Day prior to the redemption date.

Section 3.08    Mandatory Redemption.
The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09    Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.
In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below.
The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that ranks pari passu with the Notes and contains provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets.  The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”).  Promptly after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Offer Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered or required to be repaid or redeemed), and thereafter, the Notes to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis (subject to applicable DTC procedures with respect to the Global Notes) based on the principal amount tendered (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company or the Trustee, as applicable, so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased, provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer shall be purchased.  Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as principal and interest payments are made.
If the Offer Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the 

-44-

close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.
Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail (or with respect to Global Notes to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically), a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee.  The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.  The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:
(1)    that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

Section 4.09    Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or 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 (a) any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or (b) any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, if the Consolidated Total Leverage 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 or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been less than or equal to 6.00 to 1.00 (“Ratio Debt”).
(b)    The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):
(1)    the incurrence by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under any Credit Agreement, the guarantees thereof and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof) up to an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the greater of (x) $1,800 million or (y) an unlimited amount of Indebtedness incurred by Intermediate Holdco 

-54-

or its Restricted Subsidiaries (and the guarantee thereof by the Company) under any Credit Agreement so long as at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the use of proceeds therefrom) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of Intermediate Holdco would have been less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 plus, in the case of any refinancing of any Indebtedness permitted under this Section 4.09(b)(1) or any portion thereof, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums, consent payments and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing;

(3)    the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any future Guarantors) of Indebtedness represented by the Notes issued on the Issue Date, and any Note Guarantee with respect to the foregoing;
(4)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations (including such Indebtedness as lessee or guarantor), in each case, incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing or refinancing all or any part of the acquisition, lease or cost of design, construction, installation, insurance expense, transportation, repair, replacement or improvement of property, plant or equipment used or useful in a Permitted Business or in connection with any Permitted Investment, whether through the direct purchase of assets or the acquisition of Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets in an aggregate principal amount, including all Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(4), not to exceed the greater of (i) $75.0 million or (ii) 25% of Consolidated EBITDA at any one time outstanding, plus, in the case of any refinancing of any Indebtedness permitted under this 4.09(b)(4) or any portion thereof, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing;
(5)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that serves to refund, refinance, replace, redeem, repurchase, retire or defease, and is in an aggregate principal amount (or if issued with original issue discount an aggregate issue price) that is equal to or less than, Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued as Ratio Debt or permitted under clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (12) or (20) of this Section 4.09(b) or any Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued to so refund, replace, refinance, redeem, repurchase, retire or defease such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, plus any additional Indebtedness incurred or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock issued to pay unpaid accrued interest and the aggregate amount of premiums (including reasonable tender premiums), and underwriting discounts, defeasance costs and fees and expenses in connection therewith (subject to the following proviso, “Refinancing Indebtedness”) prior to its respective maturity; provided, however, that such Refinancing Indebtedness:
(a)    has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time such Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred that is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock being refunded, refinanced, replaced, redeemed, repurchased or retired; 
(b)    has a Stated Maturity that is no earlier than the Stated Maturity of the Indebtedness being refunded, refinanced, replaced, redeemed, repurchased or retired; 
(c)    to the extent that such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (i) Subordinated Indebtedness, such Refinancing Indebtedness is Subordinated Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock or (ii) Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness is Subordinated Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, respectively; and 

-55-

(d)    shall not include (x) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of the Company or a Guarantor, or (y) Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Company or Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that refinances Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; 
(6)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness and cash management pooling obligations and arrangements between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:
(%5)    if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness (other than cash management pooling, tax and accounting obligations and arrangements) and the payee is not the Company or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and 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 the Company or a Guarantor; and
(%5)    (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 or (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 issuance of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this Section 4.09(b)(6);
(7)    the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(%5)    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 4.09(b)(7); 
(8)    the incurrence by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations or Treasury Management Arrangement in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;
(9)    the guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Indebtedness and cash management pooling obligations and arrangements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in each case, to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;
(10)    the incurrence by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of letters of credit, bank guarantees, workers’ compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with health or other types of social security benefits, unemployment or other issuance or self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, guarantees, performance, surety, statutory, appeal, completion, export or import, indemnities, customs, revenue bonds or similar instruments in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees or obligations with respect thereto (in each case other 

-56-

than for an obligation for money borrowed); provided, however, that upon the drawing of any letters of credit, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing;
(11)    the incurrence by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds;
(12)    Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (i) of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred or assumed in connection with an acquisition of any assets (including Capital Stock), business or Person (including any merger of such Person with the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) and (ii) of any Person that is acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture up to an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $75.0 million and (ii) 25% of Consolidated EBITDA;
(13)    the incurrence by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from agreements providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn outs or similar obligations, incurred in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition), so long as the principal amount of such Indebtedness does not exceed the gross proceeds (including non-cash proceeds) actually received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in connection with such transactions;
(14)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising in connection with endorsement of instruments for collection or deposit (including customary Treasury Management Arrangements) in the ordinary course of business;

(20)    Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, in an aggregate principal amount that does not exceed at any time outstanding 100% of the net cash proceeds received by the 

-57-

Company from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock and Excluded Contributions) of the Company or from any capital contribution (other than Disqualified Stock and Excluded Contributions) to the Company, in each case, subsequent to the Issue Date; provided, however, that (a) the amount of any such net cash proceeds will be excluded for the purposes of making Restricted Payments under Section 4.09(a) to the extent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 4.09(b)(20) in reliance on such net cash proceeds.
(c)    The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated 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 the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.
(d)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, (1)in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (20) above, or is entitled to be incurred as Ratio Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, 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 Section 4.09; provided that Indebtedness under any Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and may not later be reclassified and (2) at the time of Incurrence, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness as Ratio Debt or one or more of the types of Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (20) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” without giving pro forma effect to the Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clauses (1) through (20) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” when calculating the amount of Ratio Debt or Indebtedness under clauses (1) and (12) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” that may be Incurred.  The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms (whether or not initially contemplated by the terms of such Indebtedness), the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09 or Section 4.12 hereof; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof shall be included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Company or Intermediate Holdco, as applicable, as accrued.  For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.
(e)    The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:
(1)    the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;
(2)    the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(3)    in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:
(A)    the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and
(B)    the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 4.10    Asset Sales.
(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its 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 (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) 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 or Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
(%5)    any liabilities (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the Notes thereto) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;
(%5)    any securities, notes, other obligations or assets received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 180 days, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; and
(%5)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.10(a)(2)(C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed $25.0 million (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).
(b)    Within 365 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 such Net Proceeds:
(1)    to repay any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary), including the Opco Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness that is Guaranteed by the Company;
(2)    to repay Indebtedness or other Obligations of the Company that rank pari passu with the Notes; provided that the Company shall equally and ratably redeem or repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.10(c)) to all Holders to purchase the Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of repayment;
(3)    to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition, of such assets or Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or additional Capital Stock of an existing non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary;
(4)    to make a capital expenditure;
(5)    to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or

-59-

(6)    any combination of the foregoing.
The Company will be deemed to have complied with the provisions set forth in clause (3), (4), (5) or (6) of this Section 4.10(b) if within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire all or substantially all of such assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business or to make a capital expenditure or acquire such other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business and that acquisition or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period.
Pending the final application of any such amount of Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest or utilize such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.
(c)    Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) hereof will constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that any amount of proceeds offered to Holders in accordance with Section 4.10(b)(2) or pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer made at any time after the Asset Sale shall be deemed to have been applied as required and shall not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to the extent to which such offer is accepted by the Holders.  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of the Notes and Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that ranks pari passu with the Notes and containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed 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, if any, to but not including the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Issue Date, and will be payable in cash.  The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to such Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds at any time prior to the expiration of the application period or by electing to make an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, including any such offer made pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(2) (any such amount, “Retained Declined Proceeds”), the Company may use those Retained Declined Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based on the principal amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed and thereafter the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to applicable DTC procedures with respect to the Global Notes) based on the principal amount tendered (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company or the Trustee, as applicable, so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000.  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
(d)    The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.11    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

(1)    the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, 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)    with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, the Company receives a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a).
(b)    The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:
(1)    any reasonable or customary employment agreement, consulting agreement, severance agreement, employee benefit plan, collective bargaining, compensation arrangement, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by, or policy of, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and payments pursuant thereto;

(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 or because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary has the right to appoint and/or has appointed less than a majority of the directors to the Board of Directors of such Person;
(4)    payment of fees and reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of the Company;

(7)    if such Affiliate Transaction is with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company where such Person is treated no more favorably than the holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;
(8)    transactions with an Affiliate where the only consideration paid is Qualifying Equity Interests of the Company;
(9)    transactions in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, deliver to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction (i) is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or (ii) meets the requirements of Section 4.11(a)(1) hereof;

-61-

(10)    payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business;
(11)    any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby;
(12)    transactions with joint ventures entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(13)    any contributions to the common equity capital of the Company;

(15)    transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, joint ventures, customers, clients, lessors, landlords, suppliers, contractors, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services that are Affiliates, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture that are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company;
(16)    transactions between the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person a director of which is also a director of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or such direct or indirect parent, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;
(17)    transactions permitted by, and complying with, Section 5.01;

(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens described in definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) hereof but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) hereof, the Company may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such Lien securing each item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.12 and will be entitled to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or Section 4.12(a) hereof and such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness will be treated as being incurred or existing pursuant to only such clauses or clause or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) hereof, without giving pro forma effect to such item when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph.
(d)    With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness.  The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference, any fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.

Section 4.13    Corporate Existence.
Subject to Articles 3 and 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:
(1)    its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and
(2)    the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, 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 Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or if the loss thereof would not have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.14    Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.
(a)    If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion (equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Indenture; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000.  In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent the Company has delivered notice to the Trustee of its intention to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, the Company will mail (or with respect to Global Notes to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send 

-63-

electronically) a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:
(1)    that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;
(2)    the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
(3)    that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
(4)    that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;
(5)    that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;
(6)    that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and
(7)    that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of such compliance.
(b)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
(1)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2)    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
(3)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.
The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, together with the documents required under Sections 13.02 and 13.03 hereof, authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by 

-64-

book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any.  The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Company 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 times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, or conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.
(e)    The Company’s obligations to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived or modified or terminated with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control.

Section 4.15    [Reserved].

Section 4.16    Future Guarantees.
The Company will cause each Restricted Subsidiary (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company in the form of credit facilities or capital markets Indebtedness and with an aggregate principal amount of at least $50.0 million (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness of the Company under the Opco Credit Agreement) to become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee within 30 days of the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary guarantees such Indebtedness.

Section 4.17    Designation of Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
After the Issue Date, the Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.  If such Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments in such Restricted Subsidiary by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries 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 Section 4.07 hereof or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Company.  That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07 hereof.  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 pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof, the Company will be in default of Section 4.09 hereof.  The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted by Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such 

-65-

designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.  Any designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.09 hereof.

(1)    default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes;
(2)    default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption, offer to purchase or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes;

(4)    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 the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:
(%5)    is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or premium, if any, on any such Indebtedness at final Stated Maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) (a “Payment Default”); or
(%5)    results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,
and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75.0 million or more;
(5)    failure by the Company or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary to pay final non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $75.0 million (other than any judgments covered by indemnities or insurance policies issued by reputable and creditworthy companies), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days, after the applicable judgment becomes final and non-appealable;

(%5)    consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or
(%5)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
(7)    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

Section 6.02    Acceleration.
In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to either of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Company (with a copy to the Trustee if given by Holders of Notes) may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of all the Notes, rescind such an acceleration and its consequences hereunder, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived and if all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel have been paid.
In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in Section 6.01(4) hereof (excluding any resulting payment default under this Indenture or the Notes), the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the holders of all Indebtedness described in Section 6.01(4) hereof have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within 30 days of the date of such declaration of acceleration of the Notes if the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, and all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid.

-68-

Section 6.03    Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04    Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an exchange offer or an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05    Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
(1)    such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(2)    Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3)    such Holder or Holders provide to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(4)    the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security and/or indemnity; and
(5)    during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

-69-

Section 6.07    Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Note (including in connection with an exchange offer or an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08    Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any Guarantor for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been determined or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings or any other proceedings, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies hereunder of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.10    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.11    Priorities.

-70-

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6 or, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money or distribute the property in the following order:
First:  to the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee), its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second:  to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and 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, if any, respectively; and
Third:  to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11.

Section 6.12    Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 7 
TRUSTEE
Section 7.01    Duties of Trustee.
(a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
(b)    Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(1)    the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(2)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.  However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (however the Trustee shall have no obligation to verify the mathematical calculations contained therein).
(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(1)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

-71-

(2)    the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(3)    the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.
(d)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.
(e)    No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity and/or security against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(f)    The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 7.02    Rights of Trustee.

(b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both.  The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

-72-

(i)    Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee described in Section 4.03 hereof is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or the Guarantors’ (if any) compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officer’s Certificates).  The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provision of this Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein.
(j)    In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(l)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(n)    The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document.

Section 7.03    Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined in the TIA it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign.  Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.  The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 hereof.

Section 7.04    Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture.  The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Company’s compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty, or covenant, or agreement of any Person, other than the Trustee, made in this Indenture.

Section 7.05    Notice of Defaults.

-73-

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will mail (or with respect to Global Notes, to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically) to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains knowledge thereof.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06    [Reserved].

Section 7.07    Compensation and Indemnity.
(a)    The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as is agreed to from time to time by the Company and the Trustee for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder.  The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services except for any such disbursements, advance or expense as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.  Such expenses will include the reasonable out-of-pocket compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.
(b)    The Company and the Guarantors, if any, will indemnify on a joint and several basis the Trustee (including its officers, directors, employees and agents) against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and any Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct.  The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder.  The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one firm of such counsel (in addition to local counsel).  Neither the Company nor any Guarantor needs to pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
(c)    The obligations of the Company and any Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination for any reason of this Indenture.
(d)    To secure the Company’s and any Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, particular Notes.  Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination for any reason of this Indenture.
(e)    Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) and (7) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

-74-

(f)    “Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.08    Replacement of Trustee.
(a)    A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.
(b)    The Trustee may resign at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company.  Subject to Section 7.08(c) hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company with 30 days’ prior written notice.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:
(1)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
(2)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(3)    a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(4)    the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

Section 7.09    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

ARTICLE 8
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
Section 8.01    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Company may at any time, at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors evidenced by resolutions set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees (if any)) upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors, if any, will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees (if any)) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors, if any, will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(1)    the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;
(2)    the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.06, 2.07, 2.10 and 4.02 hereof;
(3)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ (if any) obligations in connection therewith (including, without limitation, those contained in Article 7 hereof); and
(4)    this Article 8.
Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 8.03 hereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ (if any) obligations under Section 7.07 shall survive a Legal Defeasance.

Section 8.03    Covenant Defeasance.
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors (if any) will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 

-76-

4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.16 and 4.17 hereof and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), the Note Guarantees will be released pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof and the Notes and Note Guarantees will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes and the Note Guarantees will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors, if any, may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) (to the extent relating to the covenants that are subject to Covenant Defeasance), (4), (5) (with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries only) and (7) (with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries only) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall survive a Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.04    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:
(1)    the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, (x) cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, (y) non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon will be in an amount, or (z) a combination thereof in amounts, as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the outstanding Notes to the stated dates for payment of principal thereof and interest thereon or to the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;
(2)    in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a firm the Company reasonably believes to be nationally recognized (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) confirming that:

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3)    in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from a firm the Company reasonably believes to be nationally recognized (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will

not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(4)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);
(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 and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of the Guarantors (if any) is a party or by which the Company or any of the Guarantors (if any) is bound;
(6)    the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s 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 any creditors of the Company or others; and
(7)    the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

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

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06    Repayment to the Company.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or 

[Signature Page to Indenture]

such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease.

Section 8.07    Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9 
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
Section 9.01    Without Consent of Holders of Notes.
Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company, the Guarantors (if any) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantees:
(1)    to cure any ambiguity, mistake, 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 the Company’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of Notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’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 the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder in any material respect;

(8)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment of the Trustee or a successor trustee under this Indenture; 
(9)    to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and/or legending of the Notes, including without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in the Notes being transferred in violation applicable securities laws and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer the Notes; or 

-79-

(10)    to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in favor of the trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes as additional security for the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, in any property, or assets, including any of which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a security interest is required to be granted to the trustee pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise.
Upon the request of the Company, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, 9.06, 13.02 and 13.03 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors, if any, in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02    With Consent of Holder of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors (if any) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.14 hereof), the Notes and any Note Guarantee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes other than the Notes Beneficially Owned by the Company or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes other than the Notes Beneficially Owned by the Company or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).  Sections 2.08 and 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02, 9.06, 13.02 and 13.03 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.
It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail (or with respect to Global Notes, to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically) to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.   However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
(1)    reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(2)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions relating to the dates on which the Notes may be redeemed or the redemption price thereof 

-80-

with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to the timing of notice required to be provided in connection with an optional redemption);
(3)    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;
(4)    waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the notes (other than a waiver of a payment default that resulted solely from an acceleration not related to such payment default upon the rescission of such acceleration by holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes);
(5)    make any Note payable in anything other than U.S. dollars;
(6)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults;
(7)    modify the obligation of the Company to repurchase Notes pursuant to Sections 3.09, 4.10 or 4.14 hereof, after the date of an event giving rise to such repurchase obligation;
(8)    release any Guarantor (if any) that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee (if any) or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(9)    make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions; or
(10)    make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes in respect of right of payment in a manner that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes.

Section 9.03    [Reserved].

Section 9.04    Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.  However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.  An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Sections 13.02 and 

-81-

13.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to customary exceptions.

ARTICLE 10 
NOTE GUARANTEES
Section 10.01    Guarantee.
(a)    On the Issue Date there will be no Guarantors. Subject to this Article 10, each Guarantor made party to this Indenture in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof, by execution of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, shall, jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:
(1)    the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 7.07 hereof); and
(2)    in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors (if any) will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.  Each Guarantor (if any) made party to this Indenture by execution of a supplemental indenture agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b)    The Guarantors made party to this Indenture by execution of a supplemental indenture (if any) agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.  Each Guarantor made party to this Indenture by execution of a supplemental indenture (if any) waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.
(c)    If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors (if any) or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors (if any), any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, such Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d)    Each Guarantor made party to this Indenture by execution of a supplemental indenture (if any) agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.  Each Guarantor (if any) further agrees that, as between the Guarantors (if any), on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the 

-82-

maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors (if any) for the purpose of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor.  Each Guarantor (if any) made party to this Indenture by execution of a supplemental indenture will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02    Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
Each Guarantor made party to this Indenture by execution of a supplemental indenture (if any), and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors (if any) hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03    Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor (if any) hereby agrees that a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each Guarantor made party to this Indenture by execution of a supplemental indenture (if any) hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors (if any).
Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect a Note Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof.

Section 10.04    Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor (if any) may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:
(1)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
(2)    either:

-83-

(a)    subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, on the terms set forth therein or herein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture; or
(b)    the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied, if required, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.  Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee.  All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses 2(a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 10.05    Releases.
A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged without the consent of Holders of Notes and each Guarantor and its obligations under the Notes Guarantee will be released and discharged upon:
(1)    the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if after such transaction the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or (y) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor if such sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with this Indenture;
(2)    the Company designating such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.07 and Section 4.17 hereof and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary;”
(3)    in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 4.16 hereof, the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or the repayment of the Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, in each case, that resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes, except if a release or discharge is by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such other guarantee;
(4)    the Company’s exercise of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option pursuant to Article 8 hereof or if the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Article 11 hereof;

-84-

(5)    the release or discharge of the Obligations of such Guarantor that required the Guarantor to provide the Note Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such guarantee of direct obligation; or
(6)    such Guarantor ceasing to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company or the dissolution of such Guarantor.
In connection with any release under clause (1) above, upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition does not violate this Indenture, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.  The Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be applied, if required, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.
Any release of a Guarantor under clause (3), (5) or (6) above shall be evidenced to the Trustee by an Officer’s Certificate.
Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 11.01    Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:
(1)    either:
(a)    all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, have been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(b)    all such Notes have become due and payable at final maturity or by reason of the delivery of a notice of redemption or will become due and payable within one year or will be redeemed within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of a notice of redemption in the name and at the expense of the Company and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, (i) cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, (ii) non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon will be in an amount or (iii) a combination thereof in amounts, as will be sufficient (in case Government Securities have been deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants certified in writing to the Trustee), without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Notes for principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes to the date of maturity or redemption;
(2)    the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and
(3)    the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

-85-

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive.  In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02    Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 11.01 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect a discharge in accordance with this Article 11.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
(1)    INTEREST.  IRIDIUM COMMUNICATIONS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 10.250% per annum from March 21, 2018 until maturity.  The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing [    ] (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day to the Holders of record as of the close of business on the immediately preceding April 1 and October 1 (whether or not a Business Day).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the date of original issuance of the Notes.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

A-6

that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder in any material respect; to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated March 16, 2018, relating to the initial offering of the Notes as evidenced in an Officer’s Certificate; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture; to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment of the Trustee or a successor trustee under the Indenture; to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and/or legending of the Notes, including without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes, provided, however, that (a) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in the Notes being transferred in violation applicable securities laws and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer the Notes; or to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in favor of the trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes as additional security for the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture, in any property, or assets, including any of which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a security interest is required to be granted to the trustee pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise.
(12)    DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  The Notes are subject to the Defaults and Events of Default set forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its respective consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes).  The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer or Guarantors (if any) propose to take with respect thereto.
(13)    TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
(14)    NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor (if any), as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors (if any) under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees (if any) or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.  The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
(15)    AUTHENTICATION.  This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
Iridium Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), will issue the notes under an indenture between the Issuer and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, together with any successor trustee, the “Trustee”).
In this description, references to the “Issuer” refer only to Iridium Communications Inc. and not to any of its Subsidiaries.
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture.  It does not restate that agreement in its entirety.  The Issuer urges you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the notes.  Copies of the indenture are available as set forth below under “—Additional Information.”  Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under “—Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture.
The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.  Only registered holders will have rights under the indenture.
Brief Description of the Notes
The Notes
The notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will:
		
	•
	rank contractually equally in right of payment with all future senior Indebtedness of the Issuer;

		
	•
	rank contractually senior in right of payment to all future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer;

		
	•
	be effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured obligations of the Issuer (including the Issuer’s guarantee of the Opco Credit Agreement), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations; and

		
	•
	be structurally subordinated to all future liabilities of any Subsidiaries of the Issuer that do not guarantee the notes, including Indebtedness under the Opco Credit Agreement.

The Issuer is a holding company that directly and indirectly owns Iridium Holdings LLC (“Intermediate Holdco”) and its Subsidiaries, including Iridium Satellite LLC (“Opco”) and its Subsidiaries.  The operations of the Issuer are conducted through Intermediate Holdco and its Subsidiaries and, therefore, the Issuer depends on the cash flow of Intermediate Holdco and its Subsidiaries to meet its obligations, including its obligations under the notes.  There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required cash payments under the notes.  Further, the ability of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make loans or other payments or distributions is subject to restrictions under the Opco Credit Agreement.  In particular, the terms of the Opco Credit Agreement restrict the Issuer’s Subsidiaries from making dividends or other payments to the Issuer if there is a default under the Opco Credit Agreement.  If this occurs, the Issuer would be unable to satisfy its obligations under the notes unless it can timely cure the default.
Any right of the Issuer to receive assets of any of its Subsidiaries upon that Subsidiary’s bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization (and the consequent right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets) will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that Subsidiary’s creditors, except to the extent that the Issuer is itself reorganized as a creditor of that Subsidiary, in which case the claims of the Issuer would still be subordinate in right of payment to any security in the assets of the Subsidiary and any indebtedness of that Subsidiary senior to that held by the Issuer.  After giving effect to the issuance of the notes offered hereby and the use of proceeds therefrom, the Issuer’s Subsidiaries accounted for approximately 100% of its total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, and held 97.9% of its total assets and approximately 88.6% of its total liabilities as of December 31, 2017 (other than the notes offered hereby).

As indicated above, payments on the notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries unless such Subsidiaries are required to guarantee the notes in the future pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.  See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes—Because we are the sole obligor of the Notes, and our subsidiaries will not guarantee our obligations under the Notes, the Notes will be structurally subordinated to the debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, and the assets of those subsidiaries may not be available to make payments on the Notes.”  Additionally, the notes will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to any future secured indebtedness of the Issuer.”  Although the indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness that the Issuer’s Subsidiaries may incur, under certain circumstances the indenture will permit the Issuer’s Subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and the amount of such indebtedness could be substantial.  See “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock” below.
As of the date of the indenture, all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are expected to be “Restricted Subsidiaries.”  However, under the circumstances described under “—Certain Covenants,” the Issuer will be permitted to designate certain of its Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.”  The Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants in the indenture and will not guarantee the notes.
The indenture will not be qualified under the TIA, and the TIA shall not apply to or in any way govern the terms of the indenture.  As a result, no provisions of the TIA will be incorporated into the indenture unless expressly incorporated pursuant to this “Description of the Notes.”
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The Issuer will issue $360 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes in this offering.  The notes will mature on April 15, 2023.  Subject to compliance with the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock,” the Issuer may issue additional notes from time to time after this offering under the indenture (“Additional Notes”).  The notes offered hereby and any Additional Notes and subsequently issued under the indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided, however, that any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the notes offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP.  Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “notes” for all purposes of the indenture and this “Description of the Notes” include any Additional Notes that are actually issued.
Each note will bear interest at a rate of 10.250% per annum from the Issue Date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with October 15, 2018, to holders of record at the close of business on April 1 and October 1 (whether or not such date is a business day) immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date.  Interest will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.  The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Interest on the notes shall be payable entirely in cash on the then outstanding principal amount of the notes.
Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes
All payments on the notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent within the continental United States unless the Issuer elects to make interest payments due on an interest payment date by check mailed to the persons entitled thereto at their address set forth in the register of holders; provided that if a holder of notes has given wire transfer instructions to the paying agent at least fifteen (15) business days prior to an interest payment date, the Issuer will pay all interest on that holder’s notes due on an Interest Payment Date in accordance with those instructions.  All payments on global notes will be made in accordance with applicable DTC procedures.
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes
The Trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar.  The Issuer may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the holders of the notes, and the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

A holder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the provisions of the indenture.  The registrar and the Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of notes.  Holders of the notes will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer.  The Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any note being redeemed in part.  Also, the Issuer will not be required to transfer or exchange any note for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of notes to be redeemed.
Note Guarantees
On the Issue Date, the notes will not be guaranteed by any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries.
If after the Issue Date the notes become guaranteed, each Note Guarantee will be a continuing guarantee and, subject to the next succeeding paragraph, shall:
(1)    remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations;
(2)    be binding upon each such Guarantor and its successors and assigns; and
(3)    inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the holders and their successors, transferees and assigns.

(b)    the Issuer designating such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under “—Certain Covenants—Restricted Payments” and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary;”
(c)    in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the notes pursuant to the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Future Guarantees,” the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or the repayment of the Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, in each case, that resulted in the obligation to guarantee the notes, except if a release or discharge is by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such other guarantee;
(d)    the Issuer’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under “—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance,” or if the Issuer’s Obligations under the indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of the indenture;
(e)    the release or discharge of the Obligations of such Guarantor that required the Guarantor to provide the Note Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such guarantee of direct obligation; or
(f)    such Guarantor ceasing to be a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Issuer or the dissolution of such Guarantor.
Optional Redemption
At any time prior to April 15, 2020, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of notes (calculated after giving effect to the issuance of any Additional Notes) issued under the indenture at the redemption price of 110.250% of the principal amount of notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of notes on a relevant record date to

(1)    at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of notes issued under the indenture (including any Additional Notes, but excluding notes held by the Issuer, any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries) remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
(2)    the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.
In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2020, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date.

Except pursuant to the preceding paragraphs, the notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to April 15, 2020.

If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed at any time, the notes shall be selected for redemption by lot.  If the notes are represented by global notes, interests in such global notes will be selected for redemption by DTC in accordance with its applicable procedures.
No notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.  Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail (or with respect to global notes, to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, sent electronically) at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or sent more than 90 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.
If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed.  A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of notes upon cancellation of the original note (or transferred by book entry).  Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption.  Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions of notes called for redemption.
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
Change of Control
If a Change of Control occurs, each holder of notes will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any portion (equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the indenture; provided that any unpurchased portion of a note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000.  In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of holders of notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent the Issuer has delivered notice to the Trustee of its intention to redeem notes as described above under “—Optional Redemption,” the Issuer will mail (or with respect to global notes to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically) a notice to each holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice.  The Issuer 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 the repurchase of the notes as a result of a Change of Control.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:
(1)    accept for payment all notes or portions of notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2)    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
(3)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of notes or portions of notes being purchased by the Issuer.
The paying agent will promptly deliver to each holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any.  The Issuer

will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
The provisions described above that require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable.  Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture will not contain provisions that permit the holders of the notes to require that the Issuer repurchase or redeem the notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
The Issuer 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 times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given to the Trustee pursuant to the indenture as described above under “—Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, or conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.  Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law.  Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require the Issuer to repurchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to another Person or group may be uncertain.
The Issuer’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived or modified or terminated with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control.
Asset Sales
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1)    the Issuer (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 (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) 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 Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
(a)    any liabilities (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the notes thereto) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;
(b)    any securities, notes, other obligations or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 180 days, converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; and
(c)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed $25.0 million

(with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:
(1)    to repay any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary), including the Opco Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness that is Guaranteed by the Issuer;
(2)    to repay Indebtedness or other Obligations of the Issuer that rank pari passu with the notes; provided that the Issuer shall equally and ratably redeem or repurchase the notes as described above under “—Optional Redemption,” or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders to purchase the notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of repayment;
(3)    to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition, of such assets or Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or additional Capital Stock of an existing non-Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary;
(4)    to make a capital expenditure;
(5)    to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or
(6)    any combination of the foregoing.
The Issuer will be deemed to have complied with the provisions set forth in clause (3), (4), (5) or (6) of the preceding paragraph if, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Issuer (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire all or substantially all of such assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business or to make a capital expenditure or acquire such other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business and that acquisition or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period.
Pending the final application of any such amount of Net Proceeds, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest or utilize such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the indenture.  Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second paragraph of this covenant will constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that any amount of proceeds offered to holders in accordance with clause (2) of the second paragraph of this covenant or pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer (as defined below) made at any time after the Asset Sale shall be deemed to have been applied as required and shall not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to the extent to which such offer is accepted by the holders.  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all holders of the notes and Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor that ranks pari passu with the notes and containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed 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, if any, to but not including the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of holders of notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date occurring on or prior to the Issue Date, and will be payable in cash.  The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to such Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds at any time prior to the expiration of the application period or by electing to make an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds.

If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, including any such offer made pursuant to clause (2) of the second paragraph of this covenant (any such amount, “Retained Declined Proceeds”), the Issuer may use those Retained Declined Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer will select the notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed and thereafter the Trustee will select the notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to applicable DTC procedures with respect to the global notes) based on the principal amount tendered (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer or the Trustee, as applicable, so that only notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased; provided that any unpurchased portion of a note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000).  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
The Issuer 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 of the indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such compliance.
The agreements governing our existing Indebtedness, including the Opco Credit Agreement, contain, and future agreements may contain, prohibitions of certain events, including events that would constitute a Change of Control or an Asset Sale.  The exercise by the holders of notes of their right to require the Issuer to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale could cause a default under these other agreements, even if the Change of Control or Asset Sale itself does not cause a default, due to the financial effect of such repurchases on us.  In the event a Change of Control or Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Issuer is prohibited from purchasing notes, we could seek the consent of lenders under the Opco Credit Agreement or such other Indebtedness to the purchase of notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition.  If we do not obtain consent or repay those borrowings, the Issuer will remain prohibited from purchasing notes.  In that case, the Issuer’s failure to purchase tendered notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture, which could, in turn, constitute a default under the Opco Credit Agreement and such other Indebtedness.  Finally, the Issuer’s ability to pay cash to the holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by the Issuer’s then existing financial resources.  See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—We are a holding company with no operations, and unless we receive dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to meet our obligations under the Notes and fulfill our other cash obligations.”
Because the Opco Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Issuer’s and its Subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Opco Credit Agreement’s properties and assets, and since the definition of “Net Proceeds” excludes all amounts in respect of any Asset Sale that are used to repay any Indebtedness that is secured by property or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale, it is unlikely that any meaningful amount of Net Proceeds will be generated from any Asset Sale so long as the Opco Credit Agreement remains outstanding.
Certain Covenants
Restricted Payments
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
(1)    declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer and other than dividends or distributions payable to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer);

(2)    purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer) any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer;
(3)    make any voluntary or optional payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor that is contractually subordinated to the notes or to any Note Guarantee, except a payment of interest when due or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof or the purchase, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement for value of any such Indebtedness within 365 days of the Stated Maturity thereof; or
(4)    make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in these 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:
(a)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;
(b)    in the case of any Restricted Payment by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the Issuer would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described below under “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock”; and
(c)    such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1), (2), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (10), (11), (12) and (13) of the next succeeding paragraph) is less than the sum, without duplication of:
(1)    50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for the period (taken as one accounting period) beginning with the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements of the Issuer 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
(2)    100% of the aggregate net proceeds, including cash and Fair Market Value of property other than cash (as determined in accordance with the second succeeding paragraph), received by the Issuer since the Issue Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Qualifying Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (excluding, without duplication, Designated Preferred Stock and Excluded Contributions), or from the issue or sale of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or debt securities of the Issuer, in each case that have been converted into or exchanged for Qualifying Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Qualifying Equity Interests and convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or debt securities sold to a Subsidiary of the Issuer); plus
(3)    (a) 100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of property other than cash (as determined in accordance with the second succeeding paragraph) received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer from the sale or disposition (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) of Restricted Investments made after the Issue Date and from repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries by any Person (other than the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries) and from repayments of loans or advances that constituted Restricted Investments made after the Issue Date and (b) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made on or after the Issue Date is made in an entity that subsequently becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Restricted Investment of the Issuer in such Restricted Subsidiary as of the date such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; plus
(4)    in the event that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer designated as such after the Issue Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary or has been merged or consolidated with or into or transfers or conveys

its assets to, or is liquidated into, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, in each case after the Issue Date, 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s Restricted Investment in such Subsidiary (as determined in accordance with the second succeeding paragraph) as of the date of such redesignation, combination or transfer (or of the assets transferred or conveyed, as applicable), after deducting any Indebtedness associated with the Unrestricted Subsidiary so designated or combined or any Indebtedness associated with the assets so transferred or conveyed (other than in each case to the extent that the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary constituted a Permitted Investment).
The preceding provisions will not prohibit:
(1)    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 Issuer to the holders of its Equity Interests so long as the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution;
(2)    the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of or with the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (within 90 days of such sale) (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of, Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution (within 90 days of such contribution) of common equity capital to the Issuer; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will not be considered to be net proceeds of Qualifying Equity Interests for purposes of clause (c)(2) of the immediately preceding paragraph;
(3)    the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any 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 the indenture;
(4)    the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Issuer 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 Refinancing Indebtedness;
(5)    the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition (or the declaration and payment of dividends to, or the making of loans to, any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, to finance any such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition) for value of Equity Interests of the Issuer, any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer held by any future, present or former employee, director or consultant of the Issuer, any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer (or any such Person’s estates or heirs) pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or other employment agreement or similar arrangements; provided that the aggregate amounts paid under this clause (5) do not exceed $2.0 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over the next two succeeding calendar years); provided, further, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed:
(a)    the cash proceeds received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the sale of Qualifying Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (to the extent contributed to the Issuer), to members of management, directors or consultants of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer that occurs after the Issue Date; provided that the amount of such cash proceeds utilized for any such repurchase, retirement, other acquisition or dividend will not increase the amount available for Restricted Payments under clause (c) of the immediately preceding paragraph; plus
(b)    the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer (to the extent contributed to the Issuer), and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date;

(9)    the declaration and payment of dividends on the Issuer’s common stock or any series of preferred stock that is a Qualifying Equity Interest and is issued after the Issue Date (or the payment of dividends to any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer to fund the payment of dividends on such Equity Interests) in an aggregate amount of up to 6.0% per annum of the net proceeds received by the Issuer (or by any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer and contributed to the Issuer) from any Equity Offering of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer;

proceeds received by the Issuer from any such sale of preferred stock (other than Disqualified Stock) issued after the Issue Date.
provided however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (12) and (14), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.
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 Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.  If the Issuer makes a Restricted Payment that, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, in the good faith determination of the Issuer, would be permitted under the requirements of the indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with the indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustment made in good faith to the issuer’s financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income.  In addition, for purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event of a (x) Permitted Investment or (y) Restricted Payment that meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Restricted Payments described above or Permitted Investments described below in the definition of “Permitted Investment”, in either case, the Issuer may order and classify, and from time to time may reclassify, such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment if that classification would have been permitted at the time such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment was made or at the time of the reclassification.
Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock
The Issuer 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 Issuer will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit (a) any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or (b) any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Issuer may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, and any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock or preferred stock, if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been less than or equal to 6.00 to 1.00 (“Ratio Debt”).
The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):
(1)    the incurrence by Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under any Credit Agreement, the guarantees thereof and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof) up to an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed the greater of (x) $1,800 million or (y) an unlimited amount of Indebtedness incurred by Intermediate Holdco or its Restricted Subsidiaries (and the guarantee thereof by the Issuer) under any Credit Agreement so long as at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the use of proceeds therefrom) the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of Intermediate Holdco would have been less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 plus, in the case of any refinancing of any Indebtedness permitted under this clause (1) or any portion thereof, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums, consent payments and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing;
(2)    Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date (excluding Indebtedness described in clauses (1) and (3));
(3)    the incurrence by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any future Guarantors) of Indebtedness represented by the notes to be issued on the Issue Date, and any Note Guarantee with respect to the foregoing;

The Issuer will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated 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 the Issuer solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.
For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (20) above, or is entitled to be incurred as Ratio Debt, the Issuer 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; provided that Indebtedness under any Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and may not later be reclassified and (2) at the time of Incurrence, the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness as Ratio Debt or one or more of the types of Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (20) of the definition of Permitted Debt without giving pro forma effect to the Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clauses (1) through (20) of the definition of Permitted Debt when calculating the amount of Ratio Debt or Indebtedness under clauses (1) and (12) of the definition of Permitted Debt that may be Incurred.

Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant or the covenant set forth under “—Liens”; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof shall be included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Issuer or Intermediate Holdco, as applicable, as accrued.  For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer 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.
The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:
(1)    the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;
(2)    the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(3)    in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:
(a)    the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and
(b)    the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.
Liens
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors, if any, to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens), securing Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors, if any, on any property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, unless in each case:
(1)    in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or
(2)    in all other cases, the notes are equally and ratably secured.
Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the notes pursuant to this covenant shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the notes.
For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens described in definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof, and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such Lien securing each item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and will be entitled to include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or the first paragraph of this covenant and such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness will be treated as being incurred or existing pursuant to only such clauses or clause or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof, without giving pro forma effect to such item when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph.
With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness.  The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original

Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries
The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to:
(1)    pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Issuer 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 Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(2)    make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or
(3)    sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.
The preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
(1)    contractual encumbrances or restrictions of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) in effect on the Issue Date or (ii) pursuant to the Opco Credit Agreement and other documents relating to the Opco Credit Agreement;
(2)    the indenture, the notes and the Note Guarantees (if any, and any additional notes and related guarantees);
(3)    agreements governing other Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the provisions of the covenant described above under “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock” and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the restrictions therein either (i) are not materially more restrictive than those contained in agreements governing Indebtedness in effect on the Issue Date, or (ii) are not materially more disadvantageous to holders of the notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined by the Issuer in good faith) and either (x) the Issuer determines (in good faith) that such encumbrance or restriction will not affect the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the notes or (y) such encumbrances or restrictions apply only during the continuance of a default relating to such Indebtedness;
(4)    applicable law, rule, regulation, order, approval, license, permit or similar restriction;
(5)    any instrument of a Person acquired by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such instrument was entered into in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the indenture to be incurred;
(6)    customary non-assignment or sub-letting provisions in contracts, leases, sub-leases and licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(9)    Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Refinancing Indebtedness (i) are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced or (ii) are not materially more disadvantageous to holders of the notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined by the Issuer in good faith)
and either (x) the Issuer determines (in good faith) that such encumbrance or restriction will not affect the Issuer’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the notes or (y) such encumbrances or restrictions apply only during the continuance of a default in respect of payment or a financial maintenance covenant relating to such Indebtedness;

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, (i) the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on ordinary shares shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to other Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets
The Issuer will not, directly or indirectly:  (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving corporation) or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:
(1)    either:  (a) the Issuer is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia (such Person, the “Surviving Entity”) and, if such entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the notes is a corporation organized or existing under any such laws;
(2)    the Surviving Entity (if other than the Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the notes and the indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture;
(3)    immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;
(4)    the Issuer or the Surviving Entity (if other than the Issuer) would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, (a) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness as Ratio Debt or (b) have had a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio equal to or less than the actual Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio for the Issuer for such four quarter period; and
(5)    the Issuer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition complies with the requirements of the indenture.
This “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” covenant will not apply to any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and any Guarantor.  Clauses (3) and (4) of the first paragraph of this covenant will not apply to (a) any merger or consolidation of any Restricted Subsidiary with or into the Issuer or the merger of the Issuer into a Restricted Subsidiary or (b) a merger or consolidation of the Issuer with or into an Affiliate for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction, in each case so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.
All references to “Issuer” in this Description of the Notes shall be deemed to include any successor entity that assumes all of the obligations of the Issuer under the notes in a transaction that complies with this “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” covenant.  Following any such assumption (except in the case of a lease), the Issuer or such predecessor company, as the case may be, shall be released from its obligations under the indenture and the notes.
Transactions with Affiliates
The Issuer 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 Issuer (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

Future Guarantees
The Issuer will cause each Restricted Subsidiary (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer in the form of credit facilities or capital markets Indebtedness and with an aggregate principal amount of at least $50.0 million (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Opco Credit Agreement) to become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an opinion of counsel and Officers’ Certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee within 30 days of the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary guarantees such Indebtedness.
Designation of Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries
After the Issue Date, the Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.  If such Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments in such Restricted Subsidiary by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries 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 covenant described above under “—Restricted Payments” or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Issuer.  That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under “—Restricted Payments.”  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 the indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under the covenant described under “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock,” the Issuer will be in default of such covenant.

Issuer may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under the covenant described under “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock,” calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.  Any designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by the covenant described above under “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock.”
Reports
The indenture will provide that, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding thereunder, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee and holders of the notes the following:
(1)    all quarterly and annual financial information of the Issuer that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that describes the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants; and
(2)    all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports,
in each case, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations.
In addition, the Issuer will, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, furnish to the holders of the notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
Delivery of such reports and information to the Trustee shall be for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of them shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein (including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants under the indenture as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the holders and prospective investors if it has filed (or furnished, as applicable) such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available or if it has posted such information on a website (which may be nonpublic and may be maintained by the Issuer or a third party) to which access will be given to holders of the notes, prospective investors in the notes (which prospective investors shall be limited to “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act or non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) that certify their status as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer), and securities analysts and market making financial institutions that are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer.  The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether any filings have been made on EDGAR or posted on the Issuer’s website.
The Issuer will also hold quarterly conference calls for the holders of notes to discuss financial information for the previous quarter (it being understood that such quarterly conference call may be the same conference call as with the Issuer’s equity investors and analysts).  The conference call will be following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Issuer and not later than 10 business days from the time that the Issuer distributes the annual and quarterly reports required by clauses (1) and (2) of the first paragraph of this “Reports” covenant.  No fewer than two days prior to the conference call, the Issuer will issue a press release announcing the time and date of such conference call and providing instructions for holders of the notes, securities analysts and prospective investors to obtain access to such call.

To the extent the Issuer is not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or otherwise required to report on an annual and quarterly basis on forms provided for such annual and quarterly reporting pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission the indenture will specifically permit the Issuer to omit information or certifications called for by Items 307, 308, 402, 405, 406, 407 and 601 of Regulation S-K or Rules 3-05, 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X.
Events of Default and Remedies
Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:
(1)    default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the notes;
(2)    default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption, offer to purchase or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the notes;
(3)    failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after notice by the Trustee to the Issuer or by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding voting as a single class to the Issuer and the Trustee to comply with any of the agreements in the indenture (other than a default referred to in clause (1) or (2) above);
(4)    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 Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the indenture, if that default:
(a)    is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or premium, if any, on any such Indebtedness at final Stated Maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) (a “Payment Default”); or
(b)    results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $75.0 million or more;
(5)    failure by the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary to pay final non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $75.0 million (other than any judgments covered by indemnities or insurance policies issued by reputable and creditworthy companies), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days, after the applicable judgment becomes final and non-appealable; or
(6)    certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the indenture with respect to the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to either the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by notice to the Issuer (with a copy to the Trustee if given by holders of notes) may declare all the notes to be due and payable immediately.
Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from holders of the notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a

Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on the notes.
In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in clause (4) under the first paragraph of “—Events of Default and Remedies” (excluding any resulting payment default under the indenture or the notes), the declaration of acceleration of the notes shall be automatically annulled if the holders of all Indebtedness described in clause (4) have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within 30 days of the date of such declaration of acceleration of the notes if the annulment of the acceleration of the notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, and all existing Events of Default, except non‐payment of principal or interest on the notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the notes, have been cured or waived and all amounts owing to the Trustee have been paid.
In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holders of notes unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense.  Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, when due, no holder of a note may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:
(1)    such holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(2)    holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3)    such holder or holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(4)    the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security and/or indemnity; and
(5)    during such 60-day period, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the notes (except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the notes).
The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture.  Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuer or Guarantors (if any) propose to take with respect thereto.
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Equity Holders, including Members
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or equity holder, including members, of the Issuer or any Guarantor (if any), as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors (if any) under the notes, the indenture, the Note Guarantees (if any) or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes.  The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

The Issuer may at any time, at the option of the Issuer’s Board of Directors evidenced by resolutions set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have all of the Issuer’s obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Note Guarantees (if any) (“Legal Defeasance”), except for:
(1)    the rights of holders of outstanding notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, such notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
(2)    the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration of transfer of notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
(3)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee under the indenture, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ (if any) obligations in connection therewith; and
(4)    the Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provision of the indenture.
In addition, the Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors (if any) released with respect to certain covenants (including its obligation to make Change of Control Offers and Asset Sale Offers) that are described in the indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the notes.  In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, all Events of Default described under “—Events of Default and Remedies” (except those relating to payments on the notes, covenants that are not subject to Covenant Defeasance or bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation or insolvency events of the Issuer only) will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the notes.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
(1)    the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the holders of the notes, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon will be in an amount, or a combination thereof in amounts, as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the outstanding notes to the stated date for payment thereof or to the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and all interest, if any, accrued to such dates, and the Issuer must specify whether the notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;
(2)    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel from a firm the Issuer reasonably believes to be nationally recognized (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the date of the 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 will confirm that, the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel from a firm the Issuer reasonably believes to be nationally recognized (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) confirming that the holders of the outstanding notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time, as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(4)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(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 the indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (if any) is a party or by which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (if any) is bound;
(6)    the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the holders of notes over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and
(7)    the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s 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.
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees (if any) may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes other than the notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees (if any) may be waived with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes other than the notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes).
Without the consent of each holder of notes 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 or waive any of the provisions relating to the dates on which the notes may be redeemed or the redemption price thereof with respect to the redemption of the notes (other than provisions relating to the timing of notice required to be provided in connection with an optional redemption);
(3)    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any note;
(4)    waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the notes (other than a waiver of a payment default that resulted solely from an acceleration not related to such payment default upon the rescission of such acceleration by holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes);
(5)    make any note payable in anything other than U.S. dollars;
(6)    make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any holder of notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors (if any) and the Trustee may amend or supplement the indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees (if any):
(1)    to cure any ambiguity, mistake, 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 the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to holders of notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the 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 the indenture of any holder in any material respect;
(5)    to conform the text of the indenture, the notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of this Description of the Notes as evidenced in an Officer’s Certificate;
(6)    to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture;

(9)    to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and/or legending of the Notes, including without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided, however, that (a) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in the Notes being transferred in violation applicable securities laws and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of holders to transfer the Notes; or
(10)    to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in favor of the trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Notes as additional security for the payment and performance of the Issuer’s obligations under the Indenture, in any property, or assets, including any of which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a security interest is required to be granted to the trustee pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise.
The consent of the holders of Notes is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment.  It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder when:
(1)    either:
(a)    all notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed notes that have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, have been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

Concerning the Trustee
If the Trustee becomes a creditor of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the indenture contains provisions that limit the right of the Trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise.  The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions with the Issuer and the Guarantors; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest as defined in the Trust Indenture Act it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions.  The indenture will provide that in case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its rights and powers under the indenture, to use the same degree of care in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.  Subject to such provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holder of notes, unless such holder has offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense.
Governing Law; Jury Trial Waiver
The indenture will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.  The indenture provides that the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, and each holder of a note by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture, the notes or any transaction contemplated thereby.

For purposes of making any computation referred to above:
(1)    if any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date for which a determination under this definition is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any swap contracts applicable to such Indebtedness if such swap contracts have a remaining term in excess of 12 months);

(4)    interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period.

	Costs incurred by and indemnity to the Lenders and/or the French Authorities

		
	(a)
	The Borrower acknowledges that:

		
	(i)
	in order to make the Facility available to the Borrower at the fixed rate, the Lenders and the French Authorities have entered into an interest make-up arrangement;

		
	(ii)
	in connection with such interest make-up arrangement, it is the policy of the French Authorities to enter into hedging arrangements or to cause hedging arrangements to be entered into with third parties, in order to protect themselves from adverse movements in interest and exchange rates; and

		
	(iii)
	it is accordingly reasonable for the Lenders and the French Authorities to rely upon the continuance of the Facility made available hereunder according to its original profile when

such hedging procedure was implemented, on the assumption that all amounts of principal and interest payable by the Borrower under the Facility will be received on their due dates.
		
	(b)
	Accordingly, the Borrower irrevocably agrees that:

		
	(i)
	the Borrower shall (to the extent paid or payable by the BPIAE Agent or any Lender) reimburse to the BPIAE Agent, upon demand, all costs, expenses and indemnities which any Lender may incur under applicable interest make-up arrangements with the French Authorities in connection with any partial or total prepayment of the Facility of whatever nature, whether voluntary or mandatory or by acceleration, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement; and

		
	(ii)
	under such arrangements, the amount of any indemnity so payable is to be determined in agreement with the French Authorities and will be calculated as specified hereafter.

		
	(c)
	The amount of the indemnity payable by the Borrower under paragraph (b) of this Clause 9.7 (Costs incurred by and indemnity to the Lenders and/or the French Authorities) is to be determined by taking into account the differential between the contractual interest rate applicable to the Facility and the prevailing market replacement rate for the amount of each instalment of principal to be prepaid and each of those rate differentials will be applied to the amount of the corresponding instalment of principal to be prepaid for the period from the date of such prepayment until the originally scheduled Repayment Date. The amount resulting from the determination of the indemnity pursuant to this paragraph (c) above shall then be discounted at the corresponding market replacement rate and where the total of the discounted amounts thus obtained is negative, no indemnity shall be payable to the Borrower.

		
	(d)
	The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the amounts payable under this Clause 9.7 (Costs incurred by and indemnity to the Lenders and/or the French Authorities) are in addition to all amounts payable by it under Clause 12.4 (Break Costs) with respect to any prepayment or any other amount payable under this Agreement.

		
	9.8
	Effect of Repayment and Prepayment on, and cancellation of, Commitments

If all or part of a Utilisation under the Facility is repaid or prepaid and is not available for reborrowing (other than by operation of Clause 4.2 (Further conditions precedent)), an amount of the Commitments (equal to the amount of the Utilisation which is repaid or prepaid) in respect of the Facility will be deemed to be cancelled on the date of repayment or prepayment.  Any cancellation under this Clause 9.8 shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders rateably under each Tranche.  No amount of the Total Commitments cancelled under this Agreement may be subsequently reinstated.

Except where it is provided to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to Clause 10.3 (Capitalisation during construction) below, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest on each Loan on each Interest Payment Date.
		
	10.3
	Capitalisation during construction

On the last day of each Interest Period relating to a Loan which ends during the Availability Period but on or prior to the Starting Point of Repayment, all of the IDC Component of interest accrued on that Loan during such Interest Period shall be capitalised (subject to the Total Commitments for the relevant Tranche not being exceeded), with the result that:
		
	(a)
	(without double counting) there shall be a deemed Loan under the Tranche to which that Loan relates in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the relevant IDC Component of such interest so capitalised without the need for a Utilisation Request (but subject to all other terms and conditions as if a Utilisation Request had been made);

		
	(b)
	the duration of each Interest Period for each Loan in relation to such capitalised interest shall be determined in accordance with Clause 11 (Interest Periods); and

		
	(c)
	the amount of interest so capitalised shall be treated as paid.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Total Tranche A Commitments and/or Total Tranche B Commitments would otherwise be exceeded by application of this Clause, then this Clause shall only apply to the extent that the Total Tranche A Commitments and/or Total Tranche B Commitments (as the case may be) would not be so exceeded, and the Borrower's obligation to pay accrued interest pursuant to Clause 10.2 (Payment of interest) shall continue to apply in respect of all amounts of accrued interest remaining uncapitalised.
		
	10.4
	Default interest

		
	(a)
	Interest shall accrue on each Unpaid Sum from its due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is 2.00% higher than the rate which would have been payable if the Unpaid Sum had, during the period of non-payment, constituted a Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan (as applicable and based upon whether the Unpaid Sum is owed to a Lender under Tranche A or Tranche B of the Facility) for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the BPIAE Agent (acting reasonably).  Any interest accruing under this Clause 10.4 shall be immediately payable by the Obligor on demand by the BPIAE Agent.

		
	(b)
	Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an Unpaid Sum will be compounded with the Unpaid Sum at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that Unpaid Sum but will remain immediately due and payable.

	Where a Finance Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

		
	(d)

	(c)
	agrees with each Finance Party that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify that Finance Party immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of an Obligor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Finance Document on the date when it would have been due.  The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this Clause 19 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.

		
	19.2
	Continuing Guarantee

This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Obligor under the Finance Documents, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.
		
	19.3
	Reinstatement

If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether in respect of the obligations of any Obligor or any security for those obligations or otherwise) is made by a Finance Party in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored or returned in bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this Clause 19 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.
		
	19.4
	Waiver of defences

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Clause 19 will not be affected by, and each Guarantor irrevocably waives any defence it may have by virtue of, an act, omission, matter or thing which, but for this Clause 19, would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Clause 19 (without limitation and whether or not known to it or any Finance Party) including:
		
	(a)
	any time, forbearance, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Obligor or other person;

		
	(b)
	the release of any other Obligor or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the NEXT Group;

		
	(c)
	the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Obligor or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realise the full value of any security;

		
	(d)
	any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of an Obligor or any other person;

		
	(e)
	any amendment, novation, supplement, extension restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of a Finance Document or any other document or security including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or

	(f)

	19.5
	Guarantor Intent

Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 19.4 (Waiver of defences), each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Finance Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Finance Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following:  business acquisitions of any nature; increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.
		
	19.6
	Immediate recourse

Each Guarantor waives any right it may have of first requiring any Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before claiming from that Guarantor under this Clause 19.  This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Finance Document to the contrary.
		
	19.7
	Appropriations

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) may:
		
	(a)
	refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by that Finance Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

		
	(b)
	hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor's liability under this Clause 19.

		
	19.8
	Deferral of Guarantors' rights

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Obligors under or in connection with the Finance Documents have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the BPIAE Agent otherwise directs, no Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Finance Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Clause 19:

	(a)
	that Retiring Guarantor is released by each other Guarantor from any liability (whether past, present or future and whether actual or contingent) to make a contribution to any other Guarantor arising by reason of the performance by any other Guarantor of its obligations under the Finance Documents; and

		
	(b)
	each other Guarantor waives any rights it may have by reason of the performance of its obligations under the Finance Documents to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Finance Parties under any Finance Document or of any other security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, any Finance Document where such rights or security are granted by or in relation to the assets of the Retiring Guarantor.

	I.
	result in any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, fraudulent preference or thin capitalisation laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction;

		
	II.
	be unlawful or result in a significant risk to the officers of the relevant Guarantor or grantor of Security of contravention of their fiduciary duties and/or of civil or criminal liability; or

	(a)
	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days, notify details of the receipt or recovery, to the BPIAE Agent;

		
	(b)
	the BPIAE Agent shall determine whether the receipt or recovery is in excess of the amount the Recovering Finance Party would have been paid had the receipt or recovery been received or made by the BPIAE Agent and distributed in accordance with Clause 30 (Payment Mechanics), without taking account of any Tax which would be imposed on the BPIAE Agent in relation to the receipt, recovery or distribution; and

		
	(c)
	the Recovering Finance Party shall, within three Business Days of demand by the BPIAE Agent, pay to the BPIAE Agent an amount (the Sharing Payment) equal to such receipt or recovery less any amount which the BPIAE Agent determines may be retained by the Recovering Finance Party as its share of any payment to be made, in accordance with Clause 30.5 (Partial payments).

		
	29.2

	29.3
	Recovering Finance Party's rights

On a distribution by the BPIAE Agent under Clause 29.2 (Redistribution of payments) of a payment received by a Recovering Finance Party from an Obligor, as between the relevant Obligor and the Recovering Finance Party, an amount of the Recovered Amount equal to the Sharing Payment will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

If any part of the Sharing Payment received or recovered by a Recovering Finance Party becomes repayable and is repaid by that Recovering Finance Party, then:
		
	(a)
	each Sharing Finance Party shall, upon request of the BPIAE Agent, pay to the BPIAE Agent for the account of that Recovering Finance Party an amount equal to the appropriate part of its share of the Sharing Payment (together with an amount as is necessary to reimburse that Recovering Finance Party for its proportion of any interest on the Sharing Payment which that Recovering Finance Party is required to pay) (the Redistributed Amount); and

		
	(b)
	as between the relevant Obligor and each relevant Sharing Finance Party, an amount equal to the relevant Redistributed Amount will be treated as not having been paid by that Obligor.

		
	29.5

	3.
	Modification of the Promissory Notes in the event of prepayment

If any part of any Tranche of the Facility is to be prepaid for any reason whatsoever, you will modify the amounts appearing on the relevant Promissory Notes of principal for such Tranche, so as to conform to the principal amount of such Tranche of the Facility then outstanding after the prepayment, and will modify the maturity dates of both the Promissory Notes of principal and the Promissory Notes of interest related to such Tranche subject to prepayment at that time, with the words "at sight" and will return to the Borrower the Promissory Notes relating to the amount prepaid under such Tranche.

SCHEDULE 7
MANDATORY COST FORMULA
		
	1.
	The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

		
	2.
	On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the BPIAE Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the Additional Cost Rate) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below.  The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the BPIAE Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders' Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

		
	3.
	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the BPIAE Agent.  This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the BPIAE Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender's participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

		
	4.
	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the BPIAE Agent as follows:

		
	(a)
	in relation to a sterling Loan:

 per cent. per annum
		
	(b)
	in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:

 per cent. per annum.
Where:
		
	A
	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

		
	B
	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Margin and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is an Unpaid Sum, the additional rate of interest specified in paragraph (a) of Clause 10.4 (Default interest)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

		
	C
	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

	D
	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the BPIAE Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

		
	E
	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the BPIAE Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Base Reference Banks to the BPIAE Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

		
	5.
	For the purposes of this Schedule:

		
	(a)
	"Eligible Liabilities" and "Special Deposits" have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

		
	(b)
	"Fees Rules" means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

		
	(c)
	"Fee Tariffs" means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under Column 1 of the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

		
	(d)
	"Tariff Base" has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

		
	(e)
	In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent. will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05).  A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero.  The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

		
	6.
	If requested by the BPIAE Agent, each Base Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the BPIAE Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Base Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Base Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Base Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Base Reference Bank.

		
	7.
	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the BPIAE Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate.  In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

		
	(a)
	the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

		
	(b)
	any other information that the BPIAE Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the BPIAE Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

	8.
	The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Base Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the BPIAE Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the BPIAE Agent to the contrary, each Lender's obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Facility Office in the same jurisdiction as its Facility Office.

		
	9.
	The BPIAE Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Base Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

		
	10.
	The BPIAE Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Base Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

		
	11.
	Any determination by the BPIAE Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

		
	12.
	The BPIAE Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

The Lender Clauses below may be included in or by way of endorsement to the insurance or as an amendment thereto:
It is agreed that with effect from inception of the Period, the following applies:

SCHEDULE 28
SECURITY AGENT
		
	1.
	Appointment and duties of the Security Agent

		
	(a)
	Each Secured Party irrevocably appoints the Security Agent to act as its security agent under and in connection with the Finance Documents to which it is a party, on the terms and conditions set out herein.

		
	(b)
	Each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes the Security Agent to:

		
	(i)
	perform the duties and to exercise the rights, powers and discretions that are specifically given to it hereunder and under and in connection with the other Finance Documents, together with any other incidental rights, powers and discretions; and

		
	(ii)
	enter into each Transaction Security Document.

		
	(c)
	The Security Agent has only those duties which are expressly specified in the Finance Documents.  Those duties are solely of a mechanical and administrative nature.

		
	2.
	Security Agent as holder of Security

		
	(a)
	In this Schedule 28 (Security Agent):  

		
	(i)
	Security Agent Claim has the meaning given to it in paragraph (c) below.

		
	(ii)
	Secured Party Claim means any amount which an Obligor owes to a Secured Party under or in connection with the Finance Documents.

		
	(b)
	Unless expressly provided to the contrary, the Security Agent holds any security created by a Transaction Security Document as agent for the relevant Secured Parties. 

		
	(c)
	Each Obligor must pay the Security Agent, as an independent and separate creditor, an amount equal to each Secured Party Claim on its due date (each, a Security Agent Claim).   For the purposes of Russian law and subject to the other provisions of this paragraph 2, the Security Agent is the joint and several creditor with each Secured Party in respect of each Secured Party Claim, with an independent right to demand and enforce payment of each Security Agent Claim on the terms set out in paragraphs (f) to (m) below.

		
	(d)
	Unless expressly provided to the contrary in any Finance Document, the Security Agent holds:

		
	(i)
	the benefit of any Security Agent Claims; and

		
	(ii)
	any proceeds of the enforcement of any Transaction Security Documents,

for the benefit, and as the property, of, and on trust for, the Secured Parties and so that they are not available to the personal creditors of the Security Agent or otherwise available to the Security Agent for its own use.

	The Security Agent will separately identify in its records the property rights referred to in paragraph (d) above.

		
	(f)
	It is agreed that, in respect of each Security Agent Claim, the Security Agent shall:

		
	(i)
	share the proceeds of each Security Agent Claim with the other Secured Parties; and

		
	(ii)
	pay those proceeds to the Secured Parties,

in accordance with their respective interests in the amounts outstanding under the Finance Documents.
		
	(g)
	The Security Agent may enforce performance of any Security Agent Claim in its own name as an independent and separate right. This includes filing any suit, execution, enforcement of Transaction Security Documents in accordance with their respective terms, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in respect of any kind of insolvency proceeding.

		
	(h)
	Each Secured Party must, at the request of the Security Agent, perform any act required in connection with the enforcement of any Security Agent Claim. This includes issuing a power of attorney to the Security Agent and joining in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Security Agent. 

		
	(i)
	Unless the Security Agent fails to enforce a Security Agent Claim within a reasonable time after its due date, a Secured Party may not take any action to enforce the corresponding Secured Party Claim unless it is requested to do so by the Security Agent. 

		
	(j)
	Each Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to require a Secured Party to join in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Security Agent in respect of any Security Agent Claim. 

		
	(k)
	In each case, and (for the avoidance of doubt) without otherwise increasing the aggregate indebtedness of the Obligors:

		
	(i)
	discharge by an Obligor of a Secured Party Claim will discharge the corresponding Security Agent Claim in the same amount; and

		
	(ii)
	discharge by an Obligor of a Security Agent Claim will discharge the corresponding Secured Party Claim in the same amount.

		
	(l)
	The aggregate amount of the Security Agent Claims will never exceed the aggregate amount of Secured Party Claims.

		
	(m)
	(i)    A defect affecting a Security Agent Claim against an Obligor will not affect any Secured Party Claim.

		
	(i)
	A defect affecting a Secured Party Claim against an Obligor will not affect any Security Agent Claim.
