 ARTICLE TWO 
 THE SECURITIES

 SECTION 2.01. Amount of Notes; Additional Notes; Use of Proceeds. 
 (a) Subject to satisfaction of all Issue Date Conditions and the issuance of the Notes and disbursement of proceeds thereof on the Issue Date as herein provided, the Trustee shall initially authenticate Notes for
original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $78,205,000 (subject to deemed increase at the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.15) upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the
Company (other than as provided in Section 2.08). The Trustee shall authenticate additional Notes thereafter in replacement of or exchange or substitution for such initially-authenticated Issue Date Notes upon such orders and otherwise in such
circumstances and manner provided for in Section 2.08 and elsewhere in this Article 2. Each such written order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated. 
 (b) The Company shall be entitled, subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions contained in the proviso hereto, to issue and sell, in a single,
one-time offering, Additional Notes that shall be fungible in all respects with and trade under the same CUSIP number as the Notes in a maximum additional principal amount not to exceed $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as reflects the then-current
accreted value of the originally-issued Notes relative to their aggregate initial value when first issued and outstanding on the Issue Date; provided that (i) the Company shall, in compliance with all applicable securities laws
(including each of the Holder officers’ good faith and commercially-reasonable efforts in cooperating with the Company toward qualification of such offering for Regulation D or other applicable exceptions from registration), afford the Holders,
ratably in proportion to the respective Note Obligations represented by each of them (with secondary opportunity for first-round purchasing Holders to acquire, in accordance with their relative Note Obligations vis-à-vis other second-round
participating Holders, any or all unsubscribed Additional Notes from the first-round, pro-rata offering), a right of first purchase covering all Additional Notes as may be offered, with purchase right shall be held open to the Holders for a period
of not less than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company’s initial notice to the Trustee of any such proposed offering; and (ii) no offering or sale whatsoever of Additional Notes shall be permitted to be made unless and until
(A) Consolidated Cash Flow shall equal or exceed $20,000,000 for the Covenant Reference Period; (B) the incurrence of the full Indebtedness amount represented by any and all Additional Notes then proposed for issuance will be made pursuant
to the first paragraph of Section 4.09 and not result in any Default or breach of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test or other covenant or requirement separately imposed under Article 4 or any other applicable provision(s) of this Indenture,
the Notes and the Security Documents and (C) the ratio of the Company’s consolidated secured Indebtedness, after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence and the immediate application of proceeds thereof calculated as required by
Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act, to then-current stockholders’ equity is no worse than that as reported in the Company’s most-recent financial statements on file with the SEC (or, if applicable, any more-recent audited financial
statements as are then available). 
 (c) Attached as Annex II to this Indenture is the Schedule of Sources and Uses (the
“Sources & Uses Schedule”) that shall in all respects govern (x) direct disbursements on the Issue Date of proceeds of the Notes issuance and Series Q Transaction for application (in each case, on a ratable basis in
proportion to the relative percentages represented by the Notes, on the one hand, and the Series Q Transaction on the other hand, to the total 

  

 27 

 
amount of such proceeds together) on such date to the various payments included among the Issue Date Conditions, and (y) the Company’s and its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ use and application of the remainder of such proceeds up to and through the Merger Closing strictly for purposes of, and in substantially (but in no event exceeding) the amounts specified in the Sources & Uses
Schedule for use for and application to, the Target Merger upon consummation of Merger Closing. Pending application of remaining proceeds as required under the foregoing clause (y), all such proceeds (other than amounts required to be funded
directly into the paying agent account contemplated by the Paying Agent Agreement (it being acknowledged that funds so deposited into the Designated Account shall be available to the Company for working capital purposes unless and until exercise by
the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of rights and remedies with respect to the Designated Account as, when and on the terms provided for in the Security Documents). 
 SECTION 2.02. Form and Dating. 
 The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication with
respect thereto shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rule or usage to which the Company
is subject. For so long as constituting Restricted Notes hereunder, all Notes offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A (“Rule 144A Notes”) or to Institutional Accredited Investors in reliance on
Regulation D and/or other exemptions to registration under the Securities Act (“Non-144A Notes”) shall bear the legend, and shall include and require use of the form of assignment, set forth in Exhibit B and, as a condition
to any actual or purported transfer or assignment of any such Restricted Notes constituting Non-144A Notes or otherwise being transferred or assigned other than in reliance on a Rule 144A resale exemption, shall further require delivery to each
applicable Agent of certifications in form and substance as set forth in Exhibit C. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
 The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of
this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and agree to be bound thereby. 
 The Notes may be presented for registration of
transfer and exchange at the offices of the Registrar. 
 SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication. 
 The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Senior Vice Presidents. The signature of
any of these Officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. 
 If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of
such execution but no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 No
Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate the 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 the Company and Affiliates of the Company. Each
Paying Agent is designated as an authenticating agent for purposes of this Indenture. 
  

 28 

 The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple thereof. 
 SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. 
 The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company, if any, in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their
transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more additional Paying Agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent. 
 The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement, which shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA, with any Agent that is not a party to
this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent,
or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.07. 
 The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes and this Indenture. 
 SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. 
 Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium or interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the
Company or any other obligor on the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantors), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust
by the Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall the Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder. The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2), upon written request to the Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to
pay forthwith all money so held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.06. Noteholder Lists. 
 The Trustee shall
preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days
before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Noteholders. 
 SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. 
 Subject to
Sections 2.16 and 2.17, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request from the Holder of such Notes to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar
shall register the transfer as requested. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorneys duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes (and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall execute the guarantee thereon) evidencing such transfer or exchange at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made to the Noteholder 

  

 29 

 
for any registration of transfer or exchange. The Company may require from the Noteholder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06, 4.08, 4.12 or 8.05 (in which events the Company shall be responsible for the
payment of such taxes). The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the mailing of notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or of any Note selected, called or
being called for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. 
 Any Holder of the Global Note shall, by
acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial
interest in the Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. 
 Except as expressly provided herein, neither the Trustee
nor the Registrar shall have any duty to monitor the Company’s compliance with or have any responsibility with respect to the Company’s compliance with any Federal or state securities laws. 
 SECTION 2.08. Replacement Notes. 
 If a mutilated Note
is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note (and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall execute the guarantee thereon) if the Holder of such Note furnishes to the Company and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the requirements of
Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Board of
Directors to protect the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee or any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for the Company’ reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Company for the Trustee’s expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Note. Every replacement Note shall constitute a
contractual obligation of the Company. 
 SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Notes. 
 The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by it, (b) those
delivered to it for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.10, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.

 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that
the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company. 
 If
the Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. 
  

 30 

 SECTION 2.10. Treasury Notes. 
 In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or
other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any other Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying
on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes are so
owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the
pledgee is not the Company (or any successor issuer for purposes thereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor, any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates. 
 SECTION 2.11. Temporary Notes. 
 Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the
Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable
delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes. 

SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. 
 The Company at any
time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered
for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall (subject to the record-retention requirements of the Exchange Act) dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner. The Company may not reissue or resell,
or issue new Notes to replace, Notes that the Company has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 SECTION 2.13.
Defaulted Interest. 
 If the Company defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay an additional margin of 3 1/2%, as Defaulted Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Notes for which such unpaid interest amount
had accrued through the applicable Interest Payment Date and for the period for which such unpaid interest remains unpaid until it is paid, if at all, plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on such Defaulted Interest, to the
Persons who are Noteholders on the applicable record date provided for in the Notes. The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in cash or in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any
securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after such written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment, such manner of payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee. 
 SECTION 2.14. CUSIP Number. 
 The Company in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP” number, and if so, such CUSIP number shall also apply to the Additional Notes, if any, and shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a
convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such CUSIP number used by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in the CUSIP number. 
  

 31 

 SECTION 2.15. Deposit of Moneys. 
 Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and the Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash
payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (which payments shall include, in the case of the Maturity Date, any Terminal Value Payment as may then be due and payable to the Holders), as the case may be, in a timely manner
which permits the Trustee to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the
sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 2.16. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. 
 (a) Rule 144A Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Note”). Non-144A Notes initially shall be represented by one or more
Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Non-144A Global Note,” and, together with the Rule 144A Global Note and any other global notes representing Notes, the “Global Notes”).
The Global Notes shall (i) bear legends as set forth in Exhibits B and D, (ii) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member, and
(iii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository. 
 Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, the Depository
(“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depository may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company
or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of a Holder of any Note. 
 (b) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfer in whole, but not in part, to the Depository,
its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.17.
In addition, a Global Note shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes if (i) the Depository (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for such Global Note and the Company thereupon fails to appoint a
successor depository or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of such Physical Notes or
(iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In all cases, Physical Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued
in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depository (in accordance with its customary procedures). 
 (c) In
connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records
the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a
written order from the Company authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount. 
 (d) In
connection with the transfer of Global Notes as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the 

  

 32 

 
Depository in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized
denominations. 
 (e) Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to
paragraph (b), (c) or (d) shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraphs (a)(i)(x) and (c) of Section 2.17, bear the Private Placement Legend, unless the Company determine otherwise in compliance with applicable law.

 (f) On or prior to the 40th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes represented by the Non-144A Global Note
and the Issue Date (such period through and including such 40th day, the “Restricted Period”), a beneficial interest in a Non-144A Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the
corresponding Rule 144A Global Note only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made (i)(a) to a Person that the transferor reasonably believes is a Qualified
Institutional Buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (b) to an Institutional Accredited Investor pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act which is accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel or such other certifications and documents required pursuant to this Indenture in the particular circumstances of such transfer regarding the availability of such exemption and (ii) in accordance with all applicable
securities laws of any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction. 
 (g) Beneficial interests in the Rule 144A Global Note may be
transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the Non-144A Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate to the
effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 144 (if available) and that, if such transfer occurs prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred will be held immediately thereafter through the PORTAL
Market. 
 (h) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an
interest in another Global Note shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures
applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest. 
 (i) The Holder of any Global Note
may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes. 
 SECTION 2.17. Special Transfer Provisions. 
 (a)
Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration or any proposed registration of transfer of a Note constituting a Restricted Note to a QIB: 
 (i) the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for
on such Holder’s Note stating, or to a transferee who has advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that
it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has requested pursuant to
Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and 
 (ii) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Notes to be transferred consist of Physical Notes which after transfer are to
be evidenced by an interest in the Global Note, upon receipt by the 

  

 33 

 
Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and
records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Notes to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Notes so transferred. 
 (b) Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the
Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private
Placement Legend unless (i) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order
to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (ii) such Note has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Registrar has received an Officers’ Certificate from the
Company to such effect. 
 (c) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note
acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. 
 (d) Other Legends, Notations, Endorsements for PORTAL Market/Other Trading Market Eligibility. Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or
other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the Officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Indenture, or as may be required by the Registrar, the Depositary, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or applicable Agent thereof in order for the Notes to be tradable on the Portal Market or as may be required for the Notes to be
tradable on any other market developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject. 
 The Registrar shall retain in accordance with its record retaining policies all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to
Section 2.16 or this Section 2.17. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable notice to the Registrar.

 SECTION 2.18. Computation of Interest. 
 Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
 SECTION 2.19 Special Provisions Regarding
Notes Tendered for Warrant Exercise. 
 (a) Tender Generally; Treatment of Note Principal. In circumstances where any Note(s) shall
be tendered by the applicable Holder(s) pursuant to Section 4 of the Warrants in payment of the Exercise Price (as defined therein) specified therein, such payment shall be computed for the Notes so tendered at an attributed value of 100% of
the principal amount thereof. Upon such tender, Notes shall be deemed to have been redeemed and extinguished, effective as of the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise or Notice of Automatic Exercise, as applicable, pursuant to (and as such
terms are defined in) the Warrants, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the total Exercise Price payment to which such principal was applied and, immediately upon such redemption and extinguishment, the Notes will cease to be outstanding or
accrue interest, such that the only right of the Holders in respect of the Notes so redeemed shall be to receive from the Company (i) the applicable issuance due to such Holders per Warrant terms of the Capital Stock for which such Exercise
Price was paid and (ii) cash payments of interest and premium, as applicable, as provided below in Section 2.19(b). If in connection with any exercise of Warrants, the principal amount of Notes tendered in payment of the Exercise Price
exceeds the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrant) subject to such exercise, the Company will cause a Note for 

  

 34 

 
the amount of such excess to be delivered to the Holder by delivery of a certificated Note (if the Notes tendered were certificated Notes) or by appropriate
designation on a Global Note (if the Notes tendered were part of a Global Note) within five (5) Business Days after the related Warrant Shares are deemed to be issued to the Holder pursuant to Section 5 of the Warrants. 
 (b) Interest, Premium, Etc. All interest that has accrued, but not been paid, through and including the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise
or Notice of Automatic Exercise as aforesaid on the total Note principal tendered by each Holder pursuant to either such notice shall be paid by the Company to such Holder, simultaneously with effectiveness of such exercises per the applicable
Warrant terms, in immediately available cash funds by wire transfer to the account designated by such Holder in writing to the Company. If any record, notice or similar date is fixed, whether by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture or otherwise by operation of any applicable term(s) or provision(s) herein contained, for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to payment in respect of Notes that have been called by the Company for, or that are otherwise
specified herein as becoming subject to, redemption by the Company pursuant to Article 3 or any related provisions set forth in this Indenture, and such record, notice or other date so established precedes delivery of such Notice of Exercise or
Notice of Automatic Exercise, as the case may be, the applicable premium, if any, over the principal amount of Notes as are otherwise subject to delivery by applicable Holders to the Company in payment of the Exercise Price that would have been paid
to each such Holder if such Notes were, instead, redeemed pursuant to such redemption call or redemption event, shall be paid to such Holders, simultaneously with redemption payments as and when made or required to be made to all other Holders
pursuant to this Indenture, in immediately available cash funds by wire transfer to the account designated by such Holders in writing to the Company. 
 ARTICLE THREE 
 REDEMPTION 
 SECTION 3.01. Optional Redemption; Notices to Trustee. 
 (a) At any time after June 30,
2009, the Company may, at its option on any one or more occasions, redeem any or all of the Notes against payment of the then-applicable Optional Redemption Price. 
 (b) In addition, at any time on or after the 90th day immediately following the
Issue Date, the Company may, at its option on any one or more occasions, redeem Notes against payment of the then-applicable Optional Redemption Price in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes
issued under this Indenture; provided that the following conditions and limitations shall apply to all redemptions pursuant to this Section 3.01(b): 
 (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the
occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries); 
 (2) payment of the full amount of
the Optional Redemption Price shall be effected exclusively from Equity Sale Proceeds available for such purpose, it being expressly understood and agreed that Equity Sale Proceeds from Warrant exercises shall not be deemed to be available for
redemptions effected pursuant to this clause (b) but, rather, shall exclusively be used for and applied against redemptions subject to the separate allowance made below in clause (c) of this Section 3.01; and 
 (3) the Redemption Date occurs within 90 days after the date of the closing of the Capital Stock issuance and sale giving rise to Equity
Sale Proceeds. 
 (c) The Company shall be entitled, as separate and additional provision made for the Company’s benefit wholly
independent from the foregoing 35% limitation set forth in the immediately-foregoing clause (b), to effect, using exclusively such Equity Sale Proceeds as are solely and directly derived from exercises of 

  

 35 

 
Warrants by applicable holders in accordance with their respective terms, redemption of Notes against payment of the then-applicable Optional Redemption
Price in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, in combination with redemptions effected pursuant to the immediately-foregoing clause (b), which shall remain subject to and shall in no event exceed (by virtue of the aggregation for mere
computational purposes with redemptions pursuant to this clause (c)) the 35% limitation otherwise applicable thereto, 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture. 
 (d) The Trustee will select Notes called for redemption pursuant to this Section 3.01 on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that no Notes of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notes called for redemption pursuant to this Section 3.01 become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the
Redemption Date, interest shall stop accruing on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. 
 If the Company elects to redeem Notes
pursuant to this Section 3.01, at least 35 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee, but not more than 65 days before the Redemption Date), the Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the redemption price, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained in this
Section 3.01. Notice given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.01 may not be revoked after the time that notice is given to Noteholders pursuant to Section 3.03. 
 SECTION 3.02. Selection by Trustee of Notes To Be Redeemed. 
 The Trustee shall select the Notes to be
redeemed, if the Notes are listed on a national securities exchange, in accordance with the rules of such exchange or, if the Notes are not so listed, either on a pro rata basis or by lot, or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair
and appropriate; provided that, in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 3.01(b), the Trustee shall select the Notes only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to procedures
of the Depository). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The Trustee may select for redemption
portions of the principal of the Notes that have denominations larger than $1,000. Notes and portions thereof the Trustee selects shall be redeemed in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000. For all purposes of this Indenture unless the
context otherwise requires, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 
 SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. 
 At least 30 days (subject to reduction in circumstances as addressed in clauses
(x) or (y) of the first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 3.01), and no more than 60 days, before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of
Notes to be redeemed at his or her last address as the same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04. 
 The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP numbers thereof) and shall state: 
 (1) the Redemption Date; 
 (2) the redemption price and the amount of premium and accrued
interest to be paid; 
 (3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be
redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued; 
  

 36 

 (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 the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the Redemption Date; 
 (7) that such redemption is effected on the basis of Section 3.01; and 
 (8) the aggregate principal amount of Notes that are being redeemed. 
 At the Company’s written request made at least 5 Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice
of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense. 
 SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. 
 Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at
the Optional Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Optional Redemption Price; provided that if the Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date,
the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date; and provided, further, that if a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day. 
 SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption
Price. 
 On or prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in
immediately available funds money sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date
which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. 
 On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the
Optional Redemption Price of the Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of
such Notes will be to receive payment of the Optional Redemption Price, subject to the provisos in Section 3.04 with respect to accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes. If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest
will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes. 
 SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. 
 Upon surrender
of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder thereof a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. 
 SECTION 3.07. Special Mandatory Redemption; Notices to Trustee. 
 Upon occurrence of any Special
Redemption Trigger, the Company shall be required to effect redemption on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date of any and all Notes, other than any Retained Notes as contemplated by Section 3.08, then outstanding by remittance to the Paying
Agent for the ratable accounts of the Noteholders (other than Retaining Holders as contemplated by Section 3.08) of the full Special Mandatory Redemption Price therefor, which payment shall be made in accordance with Section 3.10. The
Company shall 

  

 37 

 
immediately notify the Trustee of the Special Redemption Trigger’s occurrence and shall at such time deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate affirming the Company’s obligation and agreement to effect the Special Mandatory Redemption as provided in this Article 3 and setting forth the Special Mandatory Redemption Price applicable to such Special Mandatory Redemption.

 SECTION 3.08. Notice of Special Mandatory Redemption to Holders. 
 Upon the occurrence of the Special Redemption Trigger, notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption will be promptly mailed by first class mail by the Company to each Holder of Notes at his or her last address as the
same appears on the registry books maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04 and to the Trustee. 
 The notice shall state
that all the Notes will be redeemed (including the CUSIP numbers thereof) and shall state: 
 (1) the Special Mandatory
Redemption Date; 
 (2) the Special Mandatory Redemption Price; 
 (3) the name and address of the Paying Agent; 
 (4) that Notes must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Special Mandatory Redemption Price; 
 (5) that unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on the Notes ceases to accrue on and after the Special
Mandatory Redemption Date; and 
 (6) that Sections 3.07 through 3.10 are the provisions pursuant to which the Notes are being
redeemed at such time. 
 If on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) day after the Company’s delivery of any notice in accordance with the foregoing provisions, any Holder (a “Retaining Holder”)
shall deliver to the Trustee written confirmation of such Retaining Holder’s irrevocable election to forego the Special Mandatory Redemption (and any and all payments, rights and interests associated therewith that would otherwise accrue to
such Holder on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date) as provided in this Indenture with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Notes at such time held thereby, such Notes (the “Retained Notes”) shall not be subject to the
Special Mandatory Redemption at such time occurring, and shall remain issued and outstanding thereafter in accordance with all terms and conditions of this Indenture that are then otherwise applicable thereto as if and to the same extent as the
Special Mandatory Redemption Date had never occurred. 
 SECTION 3.09. Effect of Notice of Special Mandatory Redemption. 
 Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.08 is mailed, the Notes (other than any Retained Notes) will become due and payable on the
Special Mandatory Redemption Date at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price; provided that if the Special Mandatory Redemption Date is a
Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Special Mandatory Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day. 
 SECTION 3.10. Special Mandatory Redemption Price. 
 On
or prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent the full amount of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for any and all outstanding Notes other than
Retained Notes, if any. On and after the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, if 

  

 38 

 
money sufficient to pay the applicable Special Mandatory Redemption Price shall have been made available in accordance with this Section, all Notes other
than Retained Notes will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of the such Notes will be to receive payment of the Special Mandatory Redemption Price. If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be
paid, from the Special Mandatory Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes.

 SECTION 3.11. Holder Optional Redemption Right. 
 If, for the Covenant Reference Period ended immediately prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Issue Date, Consolidated Cash Flow for the Company is less than $20 million, the Company shall so notify the Trustee and the Holders, and each Holder shall have the right to cause the Company upon such
Holder’s delivery of written notice thereto, with a simultaneous copy to the Trustee, to redeem, on or prior to the 45th day following the end date for such Covenant Reference Period, up to 25% of the original principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, initially held or acquired by such Holder, such redemption to be effected at 100%, or par
value, of such principal and accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest through such redemption date on the principal amount so redeemed. In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, if, for the Covenant Reference Period ended immediately
prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Issue Date, Consolidated Cash Flow for the Company is less than $25
million, each Holder shall have the further right to cause the Company upon such Holder’s delivery of written notice thereto to redeem, on or prior to the 45th day following the end date for such Covenant Reference Period, up to an additional 25% of the original principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, initially held or acquired by such Holder, such
redemption to be effected at 100%, or par value, of such principal and accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest through such redemption date on the principal amount so redeemed. If the conditions to Automatic Exercise (as defined in the Warrants)
of the Warrants have been satisfied (disregarding the fact that any such Automatic Exercise may not occur prior to June 30, 2008), then the Holder redemption rights provided for in this Section 3.11 shall be subject to automatic and
irrevocable termination if, at or prior to either of the foregoing dates for which redemption is otherwise provided herein, the Volume-Weighted Average Trading Price for the Common Stock exceeds $2.75 per share for any 20 trading days falling within
any consecutive 30-trading-day period occurring at any time since the Issue Date and through either such redemption date as aforesaid. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee to such effect if and when any such termination occurs.

Trust Office of the Trustee. 
  

 39 

 (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to

 The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead (as a defense or otherwise) or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law which

Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state: 
  

	 	(1)	that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.08 and that all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment;

  

 41 

	 	(2)	the Change of Control Payment and the Change of Control Payment Date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than
as may be required by applicable law); 

  

	 	(3)	that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

  

	 	(4)	that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change
of Control Payment Date; 

  

	 	(5)	that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to 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 second Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased;

  

	 	(7)	that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided,
however, that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; and 

  

	 	(8)	the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control. 

 (c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (x) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered in the Change of Control Offer; (y) deposit with the
Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment for all Notes or portions of Notes tendered; and (z) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the
aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. 
 (d) The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each
Holder of Notes tendered the Change of Control Payment for them, 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. Upon the payment of the Change of Control Payment, the Trustee shall cancel and retain or destroy the Notes so purchased. For purposes of this Section 4.08, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer, as provided above, if, in connection with or in
contemplation of any Change of Control, it or a third party has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has
purchased all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of such Alternate Offer. 
 (f) 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 such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of
Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of 

  

 42 

 
any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.08 by virtue thereof. 
 SECTION 4.09. Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 
 From and after the Issue Date: 
 (1) the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
to, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt and Indebtedness represented by the issuance of any Additional Notes); 
 (2) the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue any Disqualified Stock (including Acquired Disqualified Stock); and 
 (3) the Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors to issue any shares of Preferred
Stock (including Acquired Preferred Stock); 
 provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including
Acquired Debt and Indebtedness represented by Additional Notes) and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may issue shares of Disqualified Stock (including Acquired Disqualified Stock), provided that any such Indebtedness (other than Additional
Notes) ranks junior to, and has a maturity date no earlier than 91 days after the Maturity Date of, the Notes (and any Additional Notes), if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the applicable Covenant Reference Period preceding the date on which
such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued would have been at least 2 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis and calculated as required by Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act (including a pro forma
application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such Covenant Reference Period, with any letters of credit and
bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have an aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness equal to the maximum amount available thereunder. 
 The immediately preceding paragraph will not apply to: 
 (i) the incurrence or existence of Indebtedness
constituting, at any time on or after the Issue Date (but only as and when permitted to be incurred thereafter in accordance with all applicable conditions and limitations contained in Section 4.16 and in no event in an aggregate outstanding
principal amount exceeding the Applicable Facility Cap), Senior Facility Obligations less 50% of the aggregate amount of any repayments of term Indebtedness under Senior Facility Obligations and all repayments of revolving credit
Indebtedness under such Senior Facility Obligations effected with a corresponding commitment reduction under such Senior Facility Obligation pursuant to clause (a) of the second paragraph of Section 4.12; 
 (ii) the incurrence by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes (excluding any Additional Notes)
and Subsidiary Guarantees thereof; 
 (iii) the Existing Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other
than Indebtedness of the type described in clause (i), (ii), (v) or (ix) of this Section 4.09); 
 (iv) except
as separately (and exclusively) addressed in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 4.09, the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the Net Proceeds
of which are used to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund, Indebtedness that was permitted to be incurred under (A) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth above or (B) clauses (ii) and (iii) above, clause
(xi) below or this clause (iv); 
 (v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of
intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however,  

  

 43 

 
that (i) if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, then (other than intercompany notes that constitute Collateral)
such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated by its terms to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be, and (ii) (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer
of Capital Stock that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and (B) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute a simultaneous incurrence of such Indebtedness that is not permitted by this clause (v) by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; 
 (vi) the incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or
hedging interest rate or currency risk with respect to any fixed or floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by this Indenture to be outstanding which is designed solely to protect the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary against fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates; provided that such Hedging Obligation does not increase the principal amount of any such Indebtedness other than as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates or by reason of
fees, indemnities and compensation payable thereunder; provided that such obligations are entered into for valid business purposes other than speculative purposes (as determined by the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s
principal financial officer in the exercise of his or her good faith business judgment); 
 (vii) the issuance by any of the
Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of Preferred Stock to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock that results in such Preferred Stock being
held by a Person other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or (B) the transfer or other disposition by the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of any such shares to a Person other than the Company or a Wholly
Owned Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Subsidiary on such date that is not permitted by this clause (vii); 
 (viii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by worker’s compensation
claims and other statutory or regulatory obligations, self-insurance obligations, tender, bid, performance, government contract, surety or appeal bonds, standby letters of credit and warranty and contractual service obligations of like nature, trade
letters of credit or documentary letters of credit, in each case to the extent incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (ix) the Guarantee by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted
to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; 
 (x) Acquired Debt or Acquired Disqualified Stock;
provided that such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock was not incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; and provided further that immediately after giving effect to such
incurrence, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the applicable Covenant Reference Period preceding the date of such incurrence would have been at least 2 to 1 or, if not, will have improved immediately thereafter, determined on a pro forma
basis (including giving pro forma effect to the applicable transaction related thereto); 
 (xi) Indebtedness
consisting of take-or-pay obligations contained in supply agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
 (xii)
the incurrence by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors of Purchase Money Obligations and Capital Lease Obligations in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1 million at any one time outstanding or, to the extent that the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall pursue a certain acquisition project for tracking and tracing hardware and software in substantially the manner detailed to the Significant Holders by memorandum description also made available to the Trustee on the Issue
Date 

  

 44 

 
for the benefit of the Holders, not to exceed to exceed $9 million (less the net cash proceeds of the Permitted Real Estate Sale) at any one time
outstanding, the entire amount of such excess allowance being made and earmarked for exclusive application to Capital Lease Obligations expected by the Company to be incurred in connection with the foregoing acquisition project substantially in the
amounts, at the times and otherwise in the manner substantially heretofore described and memorialized by the Company to the Holders. 
 (xiii) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, contribution, earnout, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligation, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection
with the disposition of any business, assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary; and 
 (xiv) Indebtedness arising
from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within three business
days of incurrence. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness or
Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xiv) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.09, the
Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify on the date of incurrence (and from time to time reclassify in whole or in part) such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock in any matter that complies with this Section 4.09 and such
Indebtedness or Preferred Stock will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to the clauses or the first paragraph hereof, as the case may be, designated by the Company (provided that all Permitted Senior Obligations shall at all times be
deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable, of this Section 4.09). The amount of Indebtedness issued at a price which is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability
in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the
reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in
exchange rates or currency values. 
 SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Restricted Payments. 
 From and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: 
 (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’
Capital Stock, other than: 
 (x) dividends or distributions payable in Qualified Capital Stock of the Company, and

 (y) dividends or distributions payable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 
 (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any direct or
indirect Subsidiary thereof, or otherwise of any Person in relation to whom the Company and/or any Restricted Subsidiary is a direct or indirect Subsidiary, other than any such Capital Stock owned by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries; 
  

 45 

 (3) make any principal payment on, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or
retire for value, any Subordinated Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, except, in each case, payment of interest or principal at Stated Maturity; or 

(4) make any Restricted Investment 
 (all
such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above (other than any exception thereto) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such
Restricted Payment (the amount of any such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, shall be the fair market value (as conclusively determined by a firm of independent public accountants or Independent Financial Advisors proposed by the Company and
reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders) of the asset(s) proposed to be transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment): 
 (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing after giving effect thereto; and 
 (b) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted
Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable Covenant Reference Period preceding the date of such Restricted Payment, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test
set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09; and 
 (c) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate of all
other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries on or after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clause (b), (d) or (e) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum, without
duplication, of: 
 (i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from
the Issue Date to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 4.18 (or for which audited financial statements are otherwise available) at the
time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus 
 (ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company from the issue or sale after the Issue Date of Capital Stock of the Company or of debt securities of the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries that have been converted into or exchanged for such Capital Stock of the Company, plus 
 (iii) to the
extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue Date and was included in the calculation of aggregate Restricted Payments under this clause (c) is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated, repaid or otherwise reduced, including
by way of dividend or distribution (to the extent not included in calculating Consolidated Net Income), for cash, the lesser of (A) the cash return with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) or
(B) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment, plus 
 (iv) an amount equal to the sum of (A) the net
reduction in Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or other transfers of assets (to the extent not included in calculating Consolidated Net Income), in each case, to the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary from Unrestricted Subsidiaries and (B) the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted
Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; 
  

 46 

 provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the amount of Restricted Investments previously made after the Issue Date by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Unrestricted Subsidiary that were included in the calculation above of aggregate Restricted Payments under this
clause (c). 
 Except after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (whereupon each of the following exceptions
(other than clause (b) below, which shall be unaffected by such occurrence and continuance) to such prohibitions shall no longer apply or remain available to the Company and/or any Restricted Subsidiary), the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.10 will not prohibit the following Restricted Payments: 
 (a) the payment of any dividend within 90 days after
the date of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; 
 (b) dividends or distributions by any Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company payable to the Company or another Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; 
 (c) the payment of cash dividends on any series of Disqualified Stock issued after the Issue Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the
cash received by the Company since the Issue Date upon issuance of such Disqualified Stock; 
 (d) the redemption, repurchase,
retirement or other acquisition of any Capital Stock of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Joint Venture (or the acquisition of all the outstanding Capital Stock of any Person that conducts no operations and has no assets or liabilities
other than the ownership of Capital Stock in a Joint Venture) in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary or Joint Venture of the Company) of, Qualified Capital Stock of the
Company; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition shall be excluded from (and shall not previously have been included in) clause (c)(ii) of
the preceding paragraph; 
 (e) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Capital Stock
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company held by any member of the Company’s (or any of its Subsidiaries’) management pursuant to any management equity subscription agreement or stock option agreement; provided that the
aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Capital Stock in reliance on this clause (e) shall not exceed $250,000 in any calendar year; 
 (f) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, repurchases of Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock
options, to the extent such repurchases represent a portion of the exercise price thereof or withholding of applicable taxes thereon and the purchase price, or applicable withholding taxes, for such repurchases is paid solely in Qualified Capital
Stock; 
 (g) the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any Capital Stock in Joint Ventures in which each of the following
conditions are met: (i) the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s aggregate contributions to and cumulative investment in the Joint Venture consist at least 75% of the reasonable fair value of services rendered to the Joint Venture
by the Company or applicable Restricted Subsidiary, with the total investment amount in respect of any particular Joint Venture or grouping or series of related Joint Ventures in no event exceeding $2 million on a cumulative basis at any and all
times, or $1 million in the aggregate for any and all Joint Venture investments or transactions during any single fiscal year; (ii) the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s investment or participation in the Joint Venture is
entirely nonrecourse to the Company, the applicable Restricted Subsidiary and/or their respective assets and properties, with no mandatory or other capital calls or funding requirements being imposed thereon; and (iii) no breach of or Default
under any other covenant separately contained in, and independent enforceable against the Company and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with, this Article 4 shall result from and after giving effect to any such Joint Venture investment or
transaction; 
  

 47 

 (h) Restricted Payments expressly provided to occur pursuant to, or as an express
condition to any right or obligation arising under, the Transaction Documents; and 
 (i) additional Restricted Payments in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000 in any fiscal year or $1 million in the aggregate. 
 If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company sells or otherwise disposes of any Capital Stock of any direct or indirect Restricted Subsidiary of the Company such that, after giving effect to any such sale or disposition, such Person is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment on the date of any such sale or disposition equal to the fair market value of the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary not sold or disposed of in an amount determined as provided
in the first paragraph of this Section 4.10. 
 The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if
such designation would not cause a Default. For purposes of making such determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of
such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of this Section 4.10 (except to the extent such Investments were repaid to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in cash). All such
outstanding Investments will be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the fair market value of such Investments at the time of such designation, as conclusively determined by the Board of Directors. Such designation will only be
permitted if any such Restricted Payment would be permitted at such time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In the case of any designation by the Company of a Person as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary on the first day that such Person is a Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, such designation shall be deemed to have occurred for all purposes of this Indenture simultaneously with, and
automatically upon, such Person becoming a Subsidiary. 
 Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.10 were computed. 
 SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Liens. 
 From and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien, except Permitted Liens, on any
asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured (or, if such obligations are subordinated
by their terms to the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, prior to the obligations so secured) until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien. 
 SECTION 4.12. Limitation on Asset Sales. 
 From and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: 
 (i) the Company and/or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least
equal to the fair market value (as conclusively evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee or, if such Asset Sale involves aggregate consideration in excess of $1 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors that is set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the assets or Capital Stock issued or sold or otherwise disposed of, 
 (ii) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company and/or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, and 
  

 48 

 (iii) if such Asset Sale involves the transfer of Collateral, (a) it complies with
the applicable provisions of the Security Documents and (b) all consideration received in such Asset Sale (including Additional Assets) shall, if applicable, be expressly made subject to the Lien under the Security Documents; 
 provided that the amount of (x) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Debt) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability and
(y) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee, to the extent they are promptly converted or monetized by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the
extent of the cash received), shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision. 
 Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net
Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option: 
 (a) to permanently repay,
first, any Senior Facility Obligations then outstanding, or, thereafter, outstanding Applicable Pari Passu Indebtedness (and to permanently reduce in corresponding amounts commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving
borrowings); or 
 (b) to acquire Additional Assets (to the extent otherwise permitted by this Indenture and, in any event,
with such Additional Assets automatically being included in and among the Collateral subject to the Security Documents immediately upon acquisition, with all appropriate action having been taken or procured by the Company and/or applicable
Restricted Subsidiaries to cause immediate attachment and perfection at such time of the Trustee’s Lien for the benefit of the Holders in conformity with all requirements of such Security Documents) or make a capital expenditure, in each case,
in a Permitted Business (or enter into a binding commitment for any such acquisition or expenditure); provided that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until and
only until the earlier of (x) the date on which such expenditure or acquisition is consummated and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 360 day period. If the acquisition or expenditure contemplated by such
binding commitment is not consummated on or before such 180th day and the Company shall not have applied such Net Proceeds pursuant to clause (a) above on or before such 180th day, such commitment shall be deemed not to have been a permitted
application of Net Proceeds at any time. 
 Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce the revolving
Indebtedness included among the Senior Facility Obligations or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the first
sentence of this paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Subject in all respects to any election by the Majority Holders to, in lieu of any Asset Sale Offer as described in this Section 4.12, cause a permanent
reduction in the Applicable Facility Cap as provided in Section 4.16(c) in an amount corresponding to the cumulative Excess Proceeds accruing to the Company and/or Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (but only to the extent that such
cumulative Excess Proceeds amount exceeds the $1 million threshold for an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date in accordance with the following provisions), on any date that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds under this Indenture exceeds $1 million
(an “Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date”), the Company will be required to make an offer to all Holders of Notes issued under this Indenture (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and,
if the Company is required to do so under the terms of any other Indebtedness ranking pari passu and equally and ratably secured with such Notes (“Other Indebtedness”), such Other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with
the Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the date of purchase in accordance with the
procedures set out in this Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and any Other Indebtedness subject to such Asset Sale Offer) tendered pursuant to such Asset Sale Offers is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may,
subject to the other terms of this Indenture, use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof in connection with any Asset Sale Offer
exceeds the amount of 

  

 49 

 
Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis; provided that no Note shall be repurchased in part if the
remaining balance thereof would be less than $1000. Upon completion of the offer to purchase made under this Indenture, the amount of Excess Proceeds that was the subject of such offer to purchase shall be reset at zero. 
 (a) The Company shall mail (or cause the Trustee to mail) a notice of a Asset Sale Offer by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the record Holders as
shown on the register of Holders within 30 days following the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, with a copy, if such notice is being mailed by the Company, to the Trustee, containing all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to
tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer and shall state the following terms: 
  

	 	(1)	that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.12, that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; provided, however, that if the aggregate
principal amount of Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in a Asset Sale Offer plus accrued interest at the expiration of such offer exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Company shall select on a pro rata basis, the Notes and Other Indebtedness
to be purchased (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, as applicable, or multiples thereof shall be purchased); 

  

	 	(2)	the offer price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the Asset Sale Offer date of payment (“Asset Sale Offer Payment Date”), which shall be not less than
30 nor more than 60 days following the date notice of the applicable Asset Sale Offer is mailed; 

  

	 	(3)	that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; 

  

	 	(4)	that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Asset Sale
Offer Payment Date; 

  

	 	(5)	that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender such Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect
Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date; 

  

	 	(6)	that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, a telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of the Notes such Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; and

  

	 	(7)	that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided,
however, that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. 

 (b) On or before the Asset Sale Offer Payment Date, the Company shall (1) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof (in integral multiples of $1,000) validly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer,
(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Notes to be purchased and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together
with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the monies specified in clause (b) above and a copy of the

 50 

 
Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, out of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent
in accordance with the preceding sentence. The Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any.
Upon the payment of the purchase price for the Notes accepted for purchase, the Trustee shall cancel and retain or destroy the Notes so purchased. Any monies remaining after the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Asset Sale Offer shall be returned
within three business days by the Trustee to the Company except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article 7. For purposes of this Section 4.12, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. 
 (c) To the extent the amount of Notes tendered pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer is less than the amount of Net Cash Proceeds subject to such Asset Sale
Offer, the Company may use any remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to fund the repurchase of tendered Notes for any purpose not prohibited by the Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to 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 such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this
Section 4.12, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof. 
 SECTION 4.13. Dividends Limitations and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 From and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or
otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: 
 (i)
(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries 
 (1) on its
Capital Stock, or 
 (2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or 

(b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or 
 (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; 
 except for such restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
 (a) existing agreements as in effect on the Issue Date, including any amendment, modification or supplement thereof provided that such amendment, modification or supplement is materially no more restrictive
than such existing agreement as in effect on the Issue Date and does not prohibit or prevent a Restricted Subsidiary from paying dividends or otherwise distributing funds to the Company in amounts sufficient to enable the Company to make interest
and principal payment on the Notes as and when due; 
 (b) Indebtedness permitted by this Indenture to be incurred containing
restrictions on the ability of Restricted Subsidiaries to consummate transactions of the types described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above not materially more restrictive than those contained in this Indenture and the Security Documents;

  

 51 

 (c) this Indenture, the Security Documents and, to the extent not imposing any
prohibition or limitation of any of the rights, remedies or obligations provided for in the foregoing (other than pursuant to express Subordination Agreement terms), the Senior Facility Documents; 
 (d) applicable law, rule, regulation or order; 
 (e) restrictions existing on the Issue Date with respect to a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (except
to the extent such restrictions were put in place in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which restrictions are 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; 
 (f) customary non-assignment provisions in leases and other agreements entered into in
the ordinary course of business; 
 (g) construction loans and Purchase Money Obligations (including Capital Lease
Obligations) for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (iii) above on the property so constructed or acquired; 
 (h) in the case of clause (iii) above, restrictions contained in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to such security agreements or mortgages; 
 (i) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than
those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced, provided that in the absence of a default under any such agreement, no restriction shall prevent a Restricted Subsidiary from paying dividends or otherwise
distributing funds to the Company in amounts sufficient to enable the Company to make interest and principal payment on the Notes as and when due; and 
 (j) any restriction with respect to shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of such shares of Capital Stock or any restriction with
respect to the assets of a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of such assets or all or substantially all the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or
disposition. 
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.13, in the event that a restriction meets the criteria of
more than one of the categories of permitted restrictions described in clauses (a) through (j) above, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such restriction in any matter that complies with this Section 4.13 and such
restriction will be treated as existing pursuant to the clauses designated by the Company. 
 SECTION 4.14. Limitation on
Transactions with Affiliates. 
 From and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to, 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 any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or Guarantee with, or for the
benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than
those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $60,000 a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved
by a majority of the Disinterested Members of the Board of Directors and (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction 

  

 52 

 
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $500,000, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate

 (i) transactions or payments pursuant to any employment arrangements or employee, officer or director benefit plans or arrangements entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary
course of business; 
 (ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries (but excluding any

or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) at the time of such
transaction, (b) a beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) or (c) individuals related to an officer or director of the

 (iii) customary loans, advances, fees and compensation paid to, and customary reimbursements made to and indemnities provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
including reimbursements made and to be made, in a cumulative amount not to exceed $250,000 in any single fiscal year or $600,000 at any and all times, to one of the Company’s principal securityholders, TH Lee Putnam Ventures
(“THLPV”), pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement with VEI dated June 29, 2006; 
 (iv) transactions
pursuant to any contract or agreement in effect on the Issue Date (including VEI’s existing written agency arrangements with Peritas on precisely the terms and conditions as evidenced by contract documents most recently made available to the
Holders prior to the Issue Date), as the same may be amended, modified or replaced from time to time, so long as any such contract or agreement as so amended, modified or replaced is, taken as a whole, no less favorable to the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in any material respect than the contract or agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; 
 (v) any
Restricted Payment permitted by Section 4.10; and 
 (vi) any transaction entered into on an arm’s-length basis in
the ordinary course of business between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Joint Venture, on the other hand (but excluding and such transaction with any Restricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture of which more
than 5% of the outstanding voting securities (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) are beneficially owned by Persons who are (a) officers, directors or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
or any beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) at the time of such transaction, (b) a beneficial owner of 5% or more of the
outstanding voting securities of the Company (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) or (c) individuals related to an officer or director of the Company or any of its Affiliates which relation is by blood,
marriage or adoption and not more remote than first cousin); provided, that any such transaction (or series of related transactions) that involves $1.0 million or more in the aggregate shall be subject to prior approval by the Disinterested
Members of the Board of Directors, 
 in each case, shall be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions and therefore (except as otherwise specified in such
clauses) not subject to the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) of the initial paragraph above. 
  

 53 

 SECTION 4.15. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. 
 From and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback
Transaction; provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if: 
 (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, could have: 
 (i) incurred Indebtedness in an
amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.09 and 
 (ii) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.11 without securing the Notes; and 
 (b)
the gross cash proceeds of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value of the property that is the subject of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction. 
 SECTION 4.16. Conditions and Limitations Regarding Senior Facility Obligations. 
 On or after the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled, in all respects subject to compliance with Section 4.09 and each of the conditions and
limitations set forth in the proviso below in this Section 4.16, to enter into a revolving credit- or revolving loan-facility agreement (such agreement, as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms and the terms of the
Subordination Agreement, the “Senior Facility Agreement”) with, and to execute and/or deliver other Senior Facility Documents to or in favor of, one or more Senior Facility Creditors (1) on terms and conditions that:
(a) taken as a whole, are materially no less favorable (as determined by the Company in the reasonable and good faith business judgment of the Board of Directors and its chief financial officer, to the extent not otherwise subject to written
objection from the Significant Holders, delivered to the Company not later than the 10th Business Day after the
Trustee’s receipt of the Company’s written designation of any such credit- or loan-facility agreement, in its most-recent draft form as attached to such designation, to serve as the Senior Facility Agreement for purposes hereof,
articulating in adequate detail their reasonable and good-faith basis or bases for disputing such Company determination) to the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries than those in effect under the BofA Facility immediately prior to its
satisfaction and discharge on the Issue Date; (b) made available for Holder refinance options as provided in Section 4.16A below; or (c) otherwise approved in writing by the Required Holders in the exercise of their reasonable and
good faith business judgment, and (2) provide for a aggregate maximum principal amount available for any and all borrowings, advances, Senior LOC Obligations or other incurrences authorized thereunder not to exceed that provided for in
Section 4.09 and an initial maximum amount of $5 million of principal, plus, to the extent incurred on or prior to the 180th day immediately following the Subordination Required Date and consisting exclusively of, and applied in their entirety to, Senior LOC Preferred Uses, an additional principal amount of Senior LOC
Obligations not to exceed $5 million (the aggregate $10 million in initial availability as aforesaid, as subject to reduction in the amount by which the foregoing $5 million allowance for Senior LOC Preferred Uses exceeds the total principal amount
of Senior LOC Obligations outstanding in respect of Senior LOC Preferred Uses upon expiration of the 180-day period provided for incurrence thereof, the “Initial Facility Cap”), in each case subject to the following conditions and
limitations: 
 (a) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to borrow or otherwise incur aggregate Indebtedness
under or in connection with the Senior Facility Documents in a principal amount at any time exceeding the Initial Facility Cap, unless and until such time as the Company shall have delivered notice to the Trustee describing that Consolidated Cash
Flow for the immediately-preceding Covenant Reference Period has first exceeded $25,000,000, whereupon an additional $5,000,000 in principal amount of Indebtedness shall be added to the Initial Facility Cap (as so increased and/or further increased
as provided in the following sentence, and as subject to the reductions referred to in Section 4.16(c) below, the “Adjusted Facility Cap”) and immediately become available for borrowings, advances, letter of credit obligations
or other incurrences under the Senior Facility Documents. The Adjusted Facility Cap as described in the foregoing sentence shall be subject to 

  

 54 

 
further increase in two (2) additional increments of $5,000,000 in principal amount (the Initial Facility Cap or any Adjusted Facility Cap as applicable
and in effect as of any relevant date after giving effect to the increases and adjustments as and when provided for in this Section 4.16(a), the “Applicable Facility Cap”) upon the Company’s delivery of an Officer’s
Certificate to the Trustee confirming that Consolidated Cash Flow for the immediately-preceding Covenant Reference Period has first exceeded each of $30,000,000 and $35,000,000, resulting, upon attainment of the latter such threshold and after
giving effect to any and all of the foregoing adjustments, in a maximum aggregate principal amount available for any and all borrowings, advances, letter of credit obligations or other incurrences at any one time outstanding under the Senior
Facility Documents in no event to exceed $25,000,000; 
 (b) on and effective as of the Subordination Required Date, the Senior Facility
Agent, acting for and on behalf of the Senior Facility Creditors, shall have entered into the Subordination Agreement with the Trustee, acting for and on behalf of the Holders, in substantially the form thereof attached as Exhibit E;

 (c) Section 2 of the form of Subordination Agreement attached as Exhibit E hereto provides that the revolving commitment
available under the Senior Facility Agreement shall be permanently reduced by amounts corresponding to: (i) the aggregate Senior Facility Obligations reduced (or deemed reduced) by the application (or deemed application) of Collateral collected
or received by any Senior Facility Creditor(s) upon or by means of Lien execution or enforcement actions taken by or on behalf of such Senior Facility Creditor(s) and (y) the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds (computed cumulatively since the
Issue Date) certified by the Trustee to the Senior Facility Agent as having been directed by the Required Holders for application, in lieu of an Asset Sale Offer to which the Holders would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 4.12, to
permanently reduce the revolving commitment available under the Senior Facility Documents, and, by their respective signatures or later accession hereto, the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby evidences its acknowledgement of and consent
to such commitment reductions on the terms as provided in this Section 4.16 and in Exhibit E hereto and further acknowledges that, as between the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Trustee and the
Noteholders, on the other hand, and entirely without regard to any actions taken or required or omitted to be taken by the Senior Facility Creditors or any other Person under the Senior Facility Documents in order to effect such any such reduction,
the Applicable Facility Cap shall be permanently reduced by the amount(s) provided for in this Section 4.16(c) with immediate and automatic effect upon occurrence of the circumstances prompting any such commitment reduction as aforesaid;

 (d) the Company acknowledges and agrees that any principal Indebtedness as may be incurred or assumed by the Company under or in
connection with the Senior Facility Documents that is at any time in excess of the Applicable Facility Cap or which, together with “Related Senior Indebtedness” described (and defined) in Exhibit E hereto, would not otherwise at
such time be permitted to be secured by the Senior Lien in accordance with the Subordination Agreement, shall in no event constitute or be entitled to the benefits of treatment as Senior Facility Obligations or Permitted Refinancing Obligations, nor
shall any Lien securing or purporting to same have or be entitled to Permitted Lien status, for purposes of Default rights or remedies as provided in Article Six or for any other purpose whatsoever of this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement, the
Notes and the Security Documents; 
 (e) notwithstanding the Holders’ authorization of the Company’s and/or its Restricted
Subsidiaries’ incurrence of Senior Facility Obligations as such documentation is provided in this Section 4.16, nothing contained herein or elsewhere in this Indenture shall in any manner be deemed or construed as waiving, limiting,
releasing or otherwise impairing any obligation or liability of the Company, or any right or remedy of the Holders, with respect to any other covenant (including, specifically, Section 4.09) contained in this Article 4, each of which shall be
and remain independently complied with after giving effect to any and all incurrences of Indebtedness or other transactions and matters authorized pursuant to this Section 4.16; and 
 (f) the Trustee shall, upon the Company’s notice of any request therefor, provide written assurance as reasonably requested by and reasonably
satisfactory to the Senior Facility Agent confirming that, as concerns the Holders’ rights under the first paragraph of this Section 4.16 to reject or otherwise oppose the terms and conditions of, or the Company’s or any Restricted
Subsidiary’s entry into, the Senior Facility Agreement, (x) no 

  

 55 

 
Significant Holder objection has been delivered or remains effective in accordance with the provisions allowing for same, (y) the Refinancing Option
Period provided in Section 4.16A(a) has lapsed without exercise of Holder options or is otherwise inapplicable and/or (z) the Required Holders have granted their written approval to the Company’s and its applicable Restricted
Subsidiaries’ entry into the Senior Loan Agreement on the terms and conditions as proposed. 
 SECTION 4.16A
Refinancing and Defaulted Financing Options in Favor of Holders. 
 (a) If at any time while the Notes are outstanding the Company
proposes (x) to enter into the Senior Facility Documents pursuant to Section 4.16 on terms that taken as a whole are materially less favorable (as determined, for all purposes of this Section 4.16A, in the manner provided in the
foregoing Section 4.16) to the Company than those existing under the BofA Facility immediately prior to the Issue Date or (y) subsequently to refinance Senior Facility Obligations or replace Senior Facility Documents on terms that taken as
a whole are materially less favorable to the Company than those taken as a whole then in effect under the then-existing Senior Facility Documents, the Company shall afford the Holders, by delivery of written notice of such proposed financing or
refinancing (i) setting forth all of the material terms and conditions for such proposed financing or refinancing; (ii) providing a reasonably detailed description of the procedures to be followed by such Holders to exercise their rights
under this Section 4.16A(a) and (iii) attaching or enclosing a copy of this Section 4.16A(a), and the Holders shall have, a thirty (30) day period (subject to earlier termination effective immediately upon the Holders’
delivery of written notice to the Company indicating their intention not to pursue any such option) after receipt of such notice (the “Refinance Option Period”) during which the Holders shall have the right to provide such financing
or refinancing to the Company on the terms and conditions at least as favorable to the Company as those set forth in such notice. Each Holder who desires to participate in such financing or refinancing shall deliver to the Company, prior to the end
of the Refinance Option Period, a notice electing to participate in such financing or refinancing and stating the maximum principal amount of such financing or refinancing such Holder is willing to fund. The Holders shall not be permitted to
participate in such financing or refinancing unless the Company receives during the Refinance Option Period notices from Holders electing to fund an amount at least equal to the full amount of such proposed financing or refinancing (a
“Qualified Notice”) (which notice may be signed and delivered in counterparts). During the Refinance Option Period (and if the Holders deliver a Qualified Notice, thereafter until the consummation of such financing or refinancing),
the Company shall provide such cooperation and information as such Holders, or any of them, may reasonably request in connection with their evaluation of such financing or refinancing. If the Holders deliver a Qualified Notice, then the Holders who
delivered such notice (the “Participating Holders”) shall enter into definitive documentation for such facility with the Company and shall be prepared to fund any such facility pursuant to the terms thereof (subject to the terms and
conditions for the closing of such financing), and such financing shall be provided by the respective Participating Holders in proportion to the amount of financing or refinancing each of them committed to fund in the Qualified Notice or in such
other proportion as such Holders shall agree. If the Holders fail to deliver a Qualified Notice during the Refinance Option Period, then the Company may consummate such financing or refinancing during the forty-five (45) day period after the
expiration of the Refinance Option Period on the terms and conditions described to the Holders. If the Company does not consummate such financing or refinancing during such forty-five (45) day period or if the Company proposes to modify any
material terms of such financing or refinancing, then the Company shall not consummate such financing or refinancing without again following the procedures provided in this Section 4.16A(a). The rights provided by this Section 4.16A(a)
shall apply to any subsequent Obligations of the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries incurred as a result of the entry into or later refinancing or replacement of the Senior Facility Documents as referred to in the first sentence of this
Section 4.16A(a), and the rights of the Holders under this Section 4.16A(a) as to any particular financing or refinancing shall not be affected by the failure of the Holders to exercise the right provided by this Section 4.16A(a) with
respect to any preceding financing or refinancing. 
 (b) Subject, in the case of Senior Facility Obligations to any conflicting provisions
as may be contained in Section 16 of the Subordination Agreement as shall govern and control with respect to any and all matters subject thereto, if at any time while the Notes are outstanding the Company defaults on any Senior Facility
Obligations or any Pari Passu Indebtedness (a “Defaulted Financing”), then, in addition to any other obligations of the Company under this Indenture or any other Transaction Documents, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and to
the Holders notice of such default (a “Notice of Financing Default”). Such Notice of Financing Default shall: (i) set 

  

 56 

 
forth in reasonable detail all of the material facts and circumstances related to such Defaulted Financing and such default, (ii) state the amount
necessary to acquire such defaulted Indebtedness (the “Cure Amount”), (iii) provide a reasonably detailed description of the procedures to be followed by such Holders to exercise their rights under this Section 4.16A(b)
and (iv) be accompanied by a copy of this Section 4.16A(b). During the thirty (30) day period after receipt of such notice (the “Default Option Period”), the Holders shall have the right to elect to purchase such
Defaulted Financing from the lenders thereof (if such a purchase is permitted by such lender and is not otherwise subject to any consent or approval mandated by applicable law, regulation, rule, order or similar legal requirement) or to provide to
the Company financing to replace the Defaulted Financing, on terms and conditions equivalent to such Defaulted Financing (a “Default Refinancing”). Subject to the conditions of this Section 4.16A(b) and compliance with all
applicable securities laws (including the Holder’s good-faith and commercially-reasonable efforts in cooperation with other applicable parties objectives toward qualification for Regulation D exemptions in connection with any such
transactions), each Holder who desires to participate in such Default Refinancing shall deliver to the Company, during the Default Option Period, a notice electing to participate in such Default Refinancing and stating the maximum amount of the Cure
Amount such Holder is willing to fund. Holders shall not have the right to participate in such Default Refinancing unless the Company receives prior to the end of the Default Option Period notices from Holders electing to fund an amount at least
equal to the Cure Amount (a “Qualified Participation Notice”) (which notice may be signed and delivered in counterparts). During the Default Option Period (and if the Holders deliver a Qualified Participation Notice, thereafter
until the consummation of such Default Refinancing), the Company shall provide such cooperation and information as such Holders, or any of them, may reasonably request in connection with their evaluation and negotiation of the purchase or
refinancing of such Defaulted Financing. If the Holders deliver a Qualified Notice, then the Holders who delivered such notice (the “Default Participating Holders”) shall negotiate with the Company and/or the lenders of such
Defaulted Financing, in good faith, to purchase the Defaulted Financing (if such a purchase is permitted by the lender) or provide such replacement financing to the Company on terms and conditions equivalent to such Defaulted Financing (subject to
the terms and conditions for the closing of such financing), and such financing shall be provided by the respective Default Participating Holders in proportion to the amount of Cure Amount each of then committed to fund in the Qualified
Participation Notice or in such other proportion as such Holders shall agree. The rights provided by this Section 4.16A(b) shall apply to any subsequent default by the Company under any Indebtedness that ranks senior to or pari passu
with the Notes, and the rights of the Holders under this Section 4.16A(b) as to any particular default shall not be effected by the failure of the Holders to exercise the right provided by this Section 4.16A(b) with respect to any
preceding default. The provisions of this Section 4.16A(b) are intended to be separate from the provisions of Section 4.16A(a), such that if a Default Notice is provided under this Section 4.16A(b) and subsequently the Company
proposes to refinance such defaulted indebtedness, another notice would be required pursuant to Section 4.16A(a) with respect to such proposed refinancing. 
 SECTION 4.17. Line of Business. 
 The Company will not, from and after the Issue Date, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to at any time, engage in any business other than the Permitted Business, except to such extent as would not
be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 SECTION 4.18. Reports to Holders. 
 Whether or not the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are then subject to Section 13 (a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, from and after the
Issue Date, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will electronically file with the SEC, so long as the Notes are outstanding, the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are or
would be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15 (d) if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are or were so subject, and such documents will be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the
“Required Filing Dates”) by which the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are or would be required so to file such documents if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are or were so subject, unless, in any case, such filings
are not then permitted by the SEC. 
  

 57 

 If such filings with the SEC are not then permitted by the SEC, or such filings are not generally
available on the Internet free of charge, from and after the Issue Date, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will, without charge to the Holders, within 15 days of each Required Filing Date, transmit by mail to Holders, as their names and
addresses appear in the note register, and file with the Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors would be required to file with the SEC pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors were subject to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) and, promptly upon written request, supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder or beneficial
owner at the Company’s cost. 
 In addition, from and after the Target Merger, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors 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 if any, required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities
Act. 
 SECTION 4.19. Creation of Subsidiaries; Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 (a) From and after the Issue Date, the Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, to
Guarantee or secure the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a
Subsidiary Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that this Section 4.19(b) shall not be applicable to: 
 (i) any Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted
Subsidiary; 
 (ii) any Guarantee arising under or in connection with performance bonds, indemnity bonds, surety bonds or
letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances. 
 (b) If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any
Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, pursuant to a written agreement to that effect, the Guarantee of such guaranteed Indebtedness must be subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee to at least the extent that the Guaranteed
Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes. 
 SECTION 4.20. Calculation of Tax Original Issue Discount. 

The Company shall file with the Trustee within 20 days following the end of each tax year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of Tax
Original Issue Discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on the Notes as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such Tax Original Issue Discount as may then be reasonably requested by the
Trustee and relevant under the United States Internal Revenue Code and/or the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 SECTION 4.21. Minimum Cash. 
 The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall maintain at all times cash and Cash

 The sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all its property or assets taken as a whole to one

another Person.

 (2) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes, at maturity or otherwise; 
 (3) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with the provisions in Sections 4.09, 4.11, 4.12, 4.15, 4.16, 4.25, 4.26

periods specified from Trustee or Significant Holder notice are intended and agreed to by the Holders strictly for purposes of allowing the Company or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor(s) sufficient opportunity to effect a full and final cure of
applicable Default events or circumstances at any time occurring or existing and shall in no event be deemed or construed as a waiver of or grace period with respect to any and all rights and entitlements to monetary damages or other compensation as
may accrue to at law or in equity to any Holder(s) for injury or harm sustained by reason of any such Default, all of which rights and entitlements shall accrue to the affected Holder(s), in the absence of the Company’s or applicable Subsidiary
Guarantor’s(s’) full and final remedy of Default as and when provided herein, immediately upon and from the moment of each such Default’s occurrence, without regard to any cure or notice period or accommodation as provided in this
Section 6.01(4); 
 (5) any default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or
by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (or any Indebtedness for money borrowed Guaranteed by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries if the
Company or a Significant Subsidiary does not perform its payment obligations under such Guarantee within any grace period provided for in the documentation governing such Guarantee), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee exists on the Issue Date or
is thereafter created, which default (a) constitutes a Payment Default or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, and in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the
principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or that has been so accelerated, aggregates $1 million or more; 
 (6) failure by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to pay a final judgment or final judgments aggregating in excess of $2.5
million, which judgment or judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 30 days; 
 (7) (A) a court
having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its applicable Significant Subsidiaries enters (x) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (y) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition
seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any of its Significant 

  

 62 

 
Subsidiaries or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or
order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days or (B) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,

creditors or (iv) states, admits or acknowledges in any context that it cannot pay its debts as they become due; or 
 (8) any Subsidiary Guarantee or any Security Document (or any security interest created thereby) shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unperfected, unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and
effect or the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under any Subsidiary Guarantee or any Security Document. 
 SECTION 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission. 
 If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Significant
Holders, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the
Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in 6.01(7) occurs with respect to the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, the principal of and premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 
 The Required Holders by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration
(except as made in respect of any failure in the timely payment of principal, interest or premium as herein provided) and its consequences if: 
 (i) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been
cured or waived; and 
 (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. 
 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of
principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise
conclude any proceedings to which it is a party. 
 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 Noteholder in exercising any right 

  

 63 

 
or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy
is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Company. 
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default. 
 Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Required Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Notes waive any past Default with respect to such Notes and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Company and the Trustee, except a Default (1) in the payment of interest on or the principal of any Note or (2) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Notes will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 6.05. Control by Required Holders. 
 The Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of the Notes not joining in
the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Notes. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

 (1) the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (2) the Significant Holders make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; 
 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and 

(5) during such 60-day period, the Required Holders do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

 However, such limitations do not apply to the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
 SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. 
 A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless: 
 (1)
the Holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
 (2) the Significant Holders make a written
request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 
 (3) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the
Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; 
  

 64 

 (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer of indemnity; and 
 (5) during such 60-day period, the Required Holders do not give the Trustee a
direction that is inconsistent with the request. 
 A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or
to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder. 
 SECTION 6.07. No Personal Liability of Directors,
Officers, Employees and Stockholders. 
 No director, officer, employee, incorporator, member of the Board of Directors or holder of
Capital Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, this Indenture or the Security Documents or for
any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations. 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. This waiver may
not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy. 
 SECTION 6.08. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes shall
not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder. 
 SECTION 6.09. Collection Suit by Trustee.

 If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (or any other obligor on the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid,
together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate set forth in the Notes, and such further amounts 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 6.10. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. 
 The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim 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) and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges
and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder 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 Noteholders, 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. 
 Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition 

  

 65 

 
affecting the Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such
proceedings. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by
the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 
 SECTION
6.11. Priorities. 
 If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

 FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07; 
 SECOND: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest as to each, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes; and 
 THIRD: to the Company or, to
the extent the Trustee collects any amount from any Subsidiary Guarantor, to such Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 The Trustee may fix a record date
and payment date for any payment to Noteholders 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 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 Noteholder pursuant to Section 6.08 or a suit by Noteholders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. 
 ARTICLE SEVEN 
 TRUSTEE 
 SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. 
 (a) If an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
same circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any
event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. 
 (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 
 (1) The Trustee need perform only
those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others. 
  

 66 

 (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 but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by
any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm
or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or
omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate, subject to the requirement in the preceding
sentence, if applicable. 
 (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to
act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
 (1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this
Section 7.01. 
 (2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith, unless it is proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
 (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 (4) No provision of this Indenture or the Security Documents shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights, powers or duties if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
 (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 7.01 shall govern every provision of this Indenture and the Security Documents that in any way relates
to the Trustee. 
 (e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or the
Security Documents at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. 
 (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by the law. 
 (g) The Trustee shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any transactions or other matters provided for in Section 2.19(b), as same
shall for all purposes be deemed as occurring or existing strictly between the Company and applicable Holders without any action or involvement by or on behalf of the Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. 
 Subject to Section 7.01: 
 (1) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document
(whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. 
  

 67 

 (2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 12.05. The Trustee shall be protected and shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate
or opinion. 
 (3) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed by it with due care. 
 (4) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute gross negligence or bad faith. 
 (5) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full
and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. 
 (6) 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. 
 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 make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the either of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Affiliates thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11. 
 SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. 
 The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or any Guarantee or the Security Agreement or the creation, perfection or priority of
any security interest under any Security Document, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s use of the proceeds from the sale of Notes or any money paid to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes, Guarantee or this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. 
 If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Noteholder a notice of the Default within 60 days after it occurs in the manner and to the extent provided in the
TIA and otherwise as provided in this Indenture. Except in the case of a Default in payment of the principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders. 
 SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. 
 If required by TIA § 313(a), within 60 days after June 30 of any year, commencing 2007 the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA
§ 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c) and TIA § 313(d). 
  

 68 

 Reports pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be transmitted by mail: 
 (1) to all Holders of Notes, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Registrar’s books; and 
 (2) to such Holders of Notes as have, within the two years preceding such transmission, filed their names and addresses with the Trustee
for that purpose. 
 A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Noteholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on
which the Notes are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom. 
 SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. 
 The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay to the
Trustee and Agents from time to time reasonable compensation for their services hereunder and under the Security Documents (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust). The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by them in connection with the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture
and under the Security Documents, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel, except any expense disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

 The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall fully indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee
for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including without limitation taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee or such Agent) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture and under the Security Documents including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs). The Trustee or Agent shall notify the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in writing promptly of any claim of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee or Agent for which it may seek indemnity; provided that the failure by the Trustee or Agent to so notify the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
shall not relieve the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are actually prejudiced thereby. In the event that a conflict of interest exists, the Trustee may
have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own gross negligence or bad faith. 
 To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee except such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes. 
 The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 7.07 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee, Agents and
each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be joint and several liabilities of the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge
or other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law. 
  

 69 

 When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(6) or (7) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. 
 For purposes of this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall include any trustee appointed pursuant to this Article 7. 
 SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. 
 The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in writing. The Required Holders may remove the Trustee by notifying the Company and the removed Trustee in writing at least 30 days
prior to the date of such removal and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee at its election upon at least 30 days prior written
notice if: 
 (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; 
 (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; 
 (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or 
 (4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting. 
 If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with the approval (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Required Holders. 
 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 Required Holders may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Noteholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee. 
 A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee
and to the Company. Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to its rights under Section 7.07, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Noteholder. Notwithstanding replacement of
the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 
 SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc. 
 If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another corporation,
subject to Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7. 
 SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. 
 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1) and (2) in every respect. The Trustee (together with its corporate parent) shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in the most recent applicable published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), including the provision in § 310(b)(1). 
  

 70 

 SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. 
 The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311 (b). A Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. 
 SECTION 7.12. Paying
Agents. 
 The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to it and the Trustee an instrument in
which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.12: 
 (A) that it will hold
all sums held by it as agent for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or
the Trustee; 
 (B) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon written request from the
Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it together with a full accounting thereof; and 
 (C) that it
will give the Trustee written notice within three (3) Business Days of any failure of the Company (or by any obligor on the Notes) in the payment of any installment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes when the same
shall be due and payable.

 (a) The Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Required Holders, shall be entitled to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any provision of this Indenture or any Security Document or modifying the rights of such Holders (it being understood that the provisions of the Security Documents which may by their terms be amended or
waived without the consent of the Noteholders do not require the consent of the Noteholders contemplated hereby).

accordance with Section 8.01(a)(iv). 
 (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 
 (d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 8.01 or this Section 8.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 (e) Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a board resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the
receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Noteholders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental
indenture.

 SECTION 8.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note. 
 (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Noteholders entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Noteholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to
consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Noteholders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such
record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Noteholders has been obtained. 
 (c) After an amendment, supplement, waiver or
other action becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 8.02. In that case the amendment, supplement, waiver or other action shall bind each
Noteholder who has consented to it and every subsequent Noteholder or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note. 
  

 73 

 SECTION 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. 
 If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) shall
request the Holder of the Note (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the
Noteholder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall endorse, and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure
to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 
 SECTION 8.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc. 
 The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or
waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 8 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the
Trustee may, but need not, sign such amendment, supplement or waiver. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying
upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 12.04, that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE 
 SECTION 9.01. Discharge of Indenture. 
 Upon the request of the Company, this Indenture will cease to be of further effect and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the Notes
and this Indenture and the Guarantees when: 
  

	 	(1)	either: 

  

	 	(a)	all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes that have been subject to defeasance
pursuant to Section 9.02 or 9.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 

  

	 	(b)	all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation: 

  

	 	(i)	have become due and payable by the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise; 

  

	 	(ii)	will become due and payable within one year; or 

  

	 	(iii)	are to be called for redemption within 12 months under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at
the reasonable expense, of the Company; 

 and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
funds in trust for the purpose in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes to the date of
such deposit (in 

  

 74 

 
case of Notes that have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be; 
  

	 	(2)	the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable under this Indenture by the Company; and 

  

	 	(3)	the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided in this Indenture relating to
the satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and this Indenture and the Guarantees of the Notes have been complied with. 

 After such delivery, the Trustee upon request of the Company shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture except for
those surviving obligations specified below, and shall take such actions and provide such further assurances with respect to evidencing and effecting the release of the Collateral as provided for pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the
Security Agreement. 
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company in Sections 7.07,
9.05 and 9.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. 
 SECTION 9.02. Legal Defeasance. 
 The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors discharged with respect to
the outstanding Notes on a date the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, subject to
Section 9.06, execute instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Company acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust funds described in Section 9.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such
payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2,07, 2.08, 2.11, 4.02, 4.03 and 4.05, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder
(including claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07) and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (D) this Article 9. 
 Concurrently with any Legal Defeasance, (x) the Company may, at its further option, cause to be terminated, as of the date on which such Legal
Defeasance occurs, all of the obligations under any or all of the Guarantees, if any, then existing and obtain the release of the Guarantee(s) of any or all Subsidiary Guarantors. In order to exercise such option regarding a Guarantee, the Company
shall provide the Trustee with written notice of its desire to terminate such Guarantee prior to the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (f) of Section 9.04, and (y) the Trustee upon request of the Company shall
acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified below, and shall take such actions and
provide such further assurances with respect to evidencing and effecting the release of the Collateral from the Liens thereunder terminating as a consequence of such Legal Defeasance as provided for pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in
the Security Agreement. 
 Subject to compliance with this Article 9, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.02 with
respect to the Notes notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 below with respect to the Notes. 
  

 75 

 SECTION 9.03. Covenant Defeasance. 
 The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Sections 10.01,
4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 (except for obligations mandated by the TIA) and clauses (1) and (3) of Section 5.01 released with respect to the outstanding Notes on a date the conditions set forth in
Section 9.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may fail to comply with and shall have no liability in
respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision
herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In
addition, upon the Company’s exercise of the option in this Section 9.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04, Sections 6.01(5), (6) and (8) shall not constitute Events of Default.

 Concurrently with any Covenant Defeasance, the Company may, at its further option, cause to be terminated, as of the date on which such
Covenant Defeasance occurs, all of the obligations under any or all of the Guarantees, if any, then existing and obtain the release of the Guarantee(s) of any or all Subsidiary Guarantors. In order to exercise such option regarding a Guarantee, the
Company shall provide the Trustee with written notice of its desire to terminate such Guarantee prior to the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (g) of Section 9.04. 
 Notwithstanding any discharge or release of any obligations under this Indenture pursuant to Section 9.02 or this Section 9.03, the
Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 7.07, 9.05, 9.06 and 9.08 shall survive until such time as the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 9.05 and 9.08 shall survive.

 SECTION 9.04. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 to the outstanding Notes: 
  

	 	(a)	(1) the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited in trust for the benefit of the Noteholders with the Trustee or a Paying Agent or a trustee satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Company, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and any such Paying Agent, (x) money in an amount sufficient, or (y) U.S. Government Obligations that shall be
payable as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as are sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or Independent Financial Advisors expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee (without consideration of any reinvestment of such interest), or (z) a combination thereof in an amount, sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, to Stated Maturity (or
redemption) on such Notes, on the scheduled due dates therefor, (2) the trustee of the irrevocable trust has been irrevocably instructed to pay such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the Trustee and (3) the
Trustee or Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably instructed in writing to apply the deposited money and the proceeds from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the terms of the Notes to the payment of
principal of and interest on the Notes; 

  

	 	(b)	the deposit described in clause (a) above will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any other agreement or instrument to which either the
Company is a party or by which it is bound; 

  

 76 

	 	(c)	no Default has occurred and is continuing (1) as of the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the
grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) or (2) insofar as clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 is concerned at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day
following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood that the condition in this clause (c) is a condition subsequent and will not be deemed satisfied until the
expiration of such period); 

  

	 	(d)	the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums currently due and payable by the Company under this Indenture and under the Notes; 

  

	 	(e)	the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating
to the termination by the Company of its obligations have been complied with; 

  

	 	(f)	in the case of an election under Section 9.02 or 9.03, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Notes will not
recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such defeasance or Covenant Defeasance had not occurred, and such opinion, in the case of defeasance under Section 9.02, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change
in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of the Indenture. The defeasance would in each case be effective when 91 days have passed since the date of the deposit in trust. 

 SECTION 9.05. Trust Holding of Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations; Related Provisions. 
 All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.04 in respect of the
outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and
to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 
 The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall (on a joint and several basis) pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.04 or the principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account
of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. 
 Anything in this Article 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to
the Company from time to time upon a request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
 SECTION 9.06. Reinstatement. 
 If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01, 9.02 or 9.03 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 each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 9 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01; provided that if 

  

 77 

 
the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Notes because of the
reinstatement of their obligations, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent. 
 SECTION 9.07. Moneys Held by Paying Agent. 
 In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture
shall, upon written demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.04, to the Company upon a request of the Company (or, if such moneys had been deposited by the Subsidiary
Guarantors, to such Subsidiary Guarantors), and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys. 
 SECTION 9.08. Moneys Held by Trustee. 
 Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or
then held by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors in trust for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the date upon
which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company (or, if appropriate, the Subsidiary Guarantors) upon a request of the Company, or if such moneys are
then held by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors in trust, such moneys shall be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Note entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantors for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or any such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, either mail to each Noteholder affected, at the address shown in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04, or cause

 GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES 
 SECTION 10.01. Guarantee. 
 Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, the Subsidiary Guarantors, by execution of this
Indenture (or, in the case of the Target and Target Subsidiaries and, unless as otherwise directed in writing by the Required Holders, any other Persons becoming Company Subsidiaries at any time after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.24, by
execution of an instrument of Guarantee and accession to this Indenture in the Form of Exhibit F hereto in the capacity of a Subsidiary Guarantor effective as of the Target Merger Closing (as to Target or Target Subsidiaries) or other date as
of which such other Persons first become Company Subsidiaries), jointly and severally, guarantee and shall guarantee, as the case be, to each Holder (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium and interest of or on each Note,
when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal, premium and interest of or on the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and
punctual payment of all other Note Obligations and due and punctual performance of any and all other liabilities or obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee of any nature or type whatsoever, all in accordance with the terms of such
Note and, as applicable, the other Transaction 

  

 78 

 
Documents, and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any Note Obligations or other liabilities or
obligations as aforesaid, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, by of this Indenture,
agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional as direct obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor, not merely as those of a surety, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Note and, as applicable, the other Transaction Documents, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto by
the Holder of such Note, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against
the Company, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Note except by payment in full of the principal
thereof and interest thereon. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that, as between such Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee. 
 The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does
not impair the rights of any Holder under the Subsidiary Guarantees. 
 SECTION 10.02. Execution and Delivery of
Subsidiary Guarantee. 
 To evidence the guarantee and accession to this Indenture by each of Target, each Target Subsidiary and each
other Person becoming a Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to Section 4.24 or any Restricted Subsidiary at any time after this Issue Date pursuant to Section 10.01, the Company agrees to cause each of the foregoing to execute and deliver
to the Trustee, effective simultaneously with each such Person’s becoming a Subsidiary of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, a Subsidiary Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto, whereupon such Person
shall immediately become and shall thereafter constitute, for all purposes of this Indenture and the Transaction Documents, a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an Officer or
an Officer of a general partner, as the case may be, of each Subsidiary Guarantor. The validity and enforceability of any such Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note. 
 Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 or in any Guarantee subsequently delivered in the form
of Exhibit F hereto shall be in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. 
 If an Officer of a Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such
Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless. 
 The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantor. 
  

 79 

 SECTION 10.03. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. 
 The Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon any of the following: 
  

	 	(A)	any transfer, to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company, of all of the Capital Stock held by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary Guarantor
(which transfer is made in accordance with this Indenture and, if the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries intends to comply with Section 4.12 by making an investment or expenditure in replacement Assets, the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a written agreement that it will make such investment or expenditure within the time frame set forth in Section 4.12); or 

  

	 	(B)	the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; 

 and in each such case, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
herein provided for relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted hereunder. 
 The
Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by either the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes and under this
Article 10. 
 SECTION 10.04. Waiver of Subrogation. 
 Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from
the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any
right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or
receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or Note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the
preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall
forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive
direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 
 SECTION 10.05. Notice to Trustee. 
 The Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company or any such Subsidiary Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in respect of the Guarantees. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 10 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would
prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Guarantees, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company no later than one Business Day prior to such payment; and, prior to the
receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.05, and subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist;
provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice referred to in this Section 10.07 at least one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such payment may become payable for any
purpose under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, 

  

 80 

 
premium, if any, or interest on any Note), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority
to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it less than one Business Day prior to such date.

proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Trustee the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time
constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured thereby, according to the intent and purposes herein and therein expressed. The Company shall take, upon request of the Trustee,
any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the obligations of the Company hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected lien on and security interest in all the Collateral in favor

promptly pay all financing, continuation statement and mortgage recording, registration and/or filing fees, charges and taxes relating to this Indenture and the Security Documents, any amendments thereto and any other instruments of further
assurance required hereunder or pursuant to the Security Documents. The Trustee shall have no obligation to, nor shall it be responsible for any failure to, so register, file or record.

documents required by the Security Documents and Sections 11.03 and 11.04 hereof, including an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 12.04(2), and the Trustee shall determine whether it has received all documentation required by TIA
§ 314(d) in connection with such release. The Trustee, however, shall have no duty to confirm the legality or validity of such documents, its sole duty being to ascertain that it has received such documentation which on their face conform

or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and
maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such
enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or to the Trustee). 
 SECTION 11.07. Authorization of Trustee Receipt of Funds Under Security Documents. 
 The Trustee is

withholding notice is in their best interests.

 2. Permitted Liens and Relative Priorities. As among the Secured Creditors, and notwithstanding
the terms (including the description of Collateral), dating, execution, or delivery of any agreement, instrument, or other document; the time, order, method, or manner of granting of any security interest or lien; or the time of filing or recording
of any financing statements, assignments, deeds of trust, mortgages, or any agreements, instruments, or other documents under the UCC or any other applicable law; the Secured Creditors agree: 
 (a) The lien and security interest of the Senior Facility Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Senior Facility Creditors, upon
the Collateral created or evidenced by the Senior Facility Documents, to the extent perfected and securing Senior Indebtedness consisting of (x) principal that is not in excess of the Maximum Senior Principal Amount, plus
(y) Related Senior Indebtedness in respect of such principal up to and in no event exceeding such Maximum Senior Principal Amount (such Senior Facility Agent lien and security interest, as subject to the foregoing qualifications as aforesaid,
“Senior Lien”), shall be senior and prior in right to the lien and security interest of the Trustee, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Noteholders, upon the Collateral created or evidenced by the Noteholder Documents (the
“Trustee Lien”); and 
 (b) The Trustee Lien shall be junior and subordinate to the Senior Lien. 

The Senior Facility Creditor Agent, on behalf of the Senior Facility Creditors, covenants to and agrees with the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Noteholders, that, in each instance where (A) Collateral shall be collected or received by the Senior Facility Creditor Agent or any Senior Facility Creditor upon any Senior Lien execution or enforcement action for application to repayment or
reduction in then-outstanding Senior Indebtedness or (B) the Senior Facility Creditor Agent shall receive a certificate from the Trustee certifying, for itself and on behalf of the Noteholders, that the Required Holders have directed that
Excess Proceeds (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) be applied pursuant to Sections 4.12 and 4.16(c) of the Indenture in the amount specified in such certificate to the permanent repayment of Senior Indebtedness, a permanent reduction in
the Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Senior Facility Agreement) shall be promptly effected (with each Obligor having already given its advance consent thereto pursuant to Section 4.16(c) of the Indenture) in an amount equal to, in the
case of the foregoing clause (x), the Senior Indebtedness amount paid or reduced upon prompt application (or, to the extent same remains unapplied after a reasonable time following collection or receipt, deemed application) of the Collateral so
collected or received, or, in the case of the foregoing clause (y), the Excess Proceeds amount certified in the Trustee certificate referred to above. Notwithstanding any delay in or failure of any actions or procedures required to be undertaken by
the Senior Facility Creditor Agent or Senior Facility Creditors in order to effect such reduction in accordance with all applicable Senior Facility Document formalities, the Maximum Senior Principal Amount shall, for all purposes of this Agreement,
be deemed to have been permanently reduced by a Revolving Commitment reduction as aforesaid immediately and automatically upon the application (or deemed application) of Collateral or Collateral proceeds as described above in clause (x) or the
delivery of the Trustee certificate referred to in clause (y), whichever is applicable; provided, in each case that, no commitment reduction occurring or deemed to occur pursuant to this Section 2 shall have the effect of or be
deemed or construed as limiting or impairing the priority of the Senior Lien with regard to any and all amounts of Senior Indebtedness as were secured thereby immediately prior to giving effect to such reduction. 
 For purposes of the foregoing allocation of priorities, any claim of a right to a setoff (other than cashless Warrant exercises, Notes exchanges and
other rights and transactions in the nature of setoff, exchange or any equivalent thereof that are expressly provided for in the Noteholder Documents or setoffs, exchanges or equivalents that are expressly provided for in the Senior Facility
Documents, in each case short of the taking of lien enforcement action) shall be treated in all respects as a security interest and no claimed right of setoff shall be asserted to defeat or diminish the rights or priorities provided for herein.

 3. No Alteration of Priority. The lien and security interest priorities provided in Section 2 shall not be altered or
otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement or refinancing of any of the Senior Indebtedness (except for refinancings as to which the Noteholder Refinance Option is applicable and has been
exercised) or any Noteholder Indebtedness, or by any action or inaction (except for any 

  

 E-7 

 
action or inaction constituting fraud, deceit, willful misconduct or gross negligence or a deficiency in the perfection of a Senior Lien) which any Secured
Creditor may take or fail to take in respect of the Collateral. The Secured Creditors consent to the Obligors’ granting to each other Secured Creditor the liens and security interests reflected in Section 2. 
 4. Perfection. 
 (a)
Each of the Secured Creditors shall be solely responsible for, and nothing herein shall prohibit any Secured Creditor from, perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its lien and security interest in any of the Collateral in which such party has
been granted a lien or security interest. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective priorities as among the Secured Creditors. The Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders agrees that it will not directly or
indirectly take any action to contest or challenge the validity, legality, priority, availability, or enforceability of the Senior Lien or seek to have the same avoided, disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or
otherwise upon the Collateral or seek to have the same avoided, disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise. The Senior Facility Creditor Agent, on behalf of the Senior Facility Creditors agrees that,
except as necessary and appropriate to protect and give effect to the rights and priorities specifically conferred in this Agreement on and in respect of the Senior Lien, it will not directly or indirectly take any action to contest or challenge the
validity, legality, priority, availability, or enforceability of the Trustee Lien or seek to have the same avoided, disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise upon the Collateral or seek to have the same
avoided, disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise. 
 (b) The Trustee
acknowledges and agrees, for itself and on behalf of the Noteholders, that the Senior Facility Documents provide that, notwithstanding any term of the Noteholder Documents to the contrary, if and to the extent that any Collateral is or becomes
subject to the Trustee Lien but is not at such time also subject to the Senior Lien, the applicable Obligor(s) shall be immediately required to cause such Collateral to be or become subject to such Senior Lien on a perfected and prior basis, and
such Obligor(s) shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed as having caused the attachment and perfection of such Senior Lien on and in Collateral, in all respects prior in time and in right to the attachment and perfection of the Trustee
Lien whensoever and howsoever actually occurring. 
 5. Exercise of Remedies; Management of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in any of the Documents: 
 (a) Subject to clause (b) of Section 6, until Payment in Full:
(i) the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform, and enforce the terms of the Senior Facility Documents with respect to the Collateral and to exercise and enforce all privileges
and rights thereunder in their sole discretion, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to enforce or settle insurance claims with respect to Collateral, take or retake control or possession of Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale,
process, sell, lease, dispose of, or liquidate Collateral; (ii) the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders shall not exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to Collateral; and (iii) subject to Section 15, any and all
proceeds of Collateral collected or received by or otherwise coming into the possession, control, or custody of the Trustee or the Noteholders other than pursuant to express provisions of the Indenture (in all such cases, short of Trustee Lien
enforcement action or exercise of any other Secured Creditor Remedies) will be deemed to have been received for the account of the Senior Facility Creditors and shall be immediately paid over to the Senior Facility Agent for the benefit of the
Senior Facility Creditors. In connection with the provisions of clause 5(a)(i) above, the Trustee and the Noteholders waive any and all rights to alter the method or challenge the appropriateness of any action by the Senior Facility Agent and the
Senior Facility Creditors with respect to the Collateral taken in a commercially reasonable manner, and waive any claims or defenses they may have against the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors, including any such claims or
defenses based on any actions or omissions (other than those taken or made in a deceitful, willful, gross negligent or commercially unreasonable manner) of any such Person in connection 

  

 E-8 

 
with the perfection, maintenance, enforcement, foreclosure, sale, liquidation or release of any lien or security interest therein, or any modification or
waiver of any Senior Facility Documents. 
 (b) The rights and priorities set forth in this Agreement shall remain binding
irrespective of the terms of any plan of reorganization in a Bankruptcy Case or other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute. 
 6. Sale of Collateral. 
 (a) Subject to clause (b) of this Section 6, until
Payment in Full: (i) without in any manner limiting Trustee’s rights to ensure the Obligors’ compliance with the various covenants, restrictions, permissions, approvals or disapprovals expressly provided for in Article Four of the
Indenture (but only to the extent that the Trustee Lien is not otherwise required to be released as provided in the immediately following clause (ii)), only the Senior Facility Creditors shall have the right to restrict or permit, or approve or
disapprove, the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral and (ii) upon an event of default under any Senior Facility Document, the Trustee will, immediately upon the request of the Senior Facility Agent, release or otherwise
terminate the Trustee Lien with respect to all Collateral other than with respect to any proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral as contemplated by this Section 6(a) (which Trustee Lien shall, accordingly, remain subject and
subordinate to the Senior Lien until Payment in Full, to the extent such Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors or, with any such workout or similarly consensual arrangement being
in all respects subject to conformity with all covenants of the Obligors pursuant to Article Four of the Indenture, by any Obligor with the consent of the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors in accordance with the Senior Facility
Documents, and the Trustee will immediately deliver such release documents as the Senior Facility Agent may require in connection therewith to the extent the proceeds of such sale or other dispositions are applied to the Senior Indebtedness until
Payment in Full; provided, however, that if any such sale or other disposition results in a surplus after Payment in Full, such surplus shall be paid to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, for application in accordance
with the terms of the Noteholder Documents. 
 (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under
any Noteholder Documents, subject at all times to the provisions of Section 5(a)(iii), commencing 120 days after receipt by the Senior Facility Agent of the written declaration of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders of such event of
default, the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, may take action to exercise its Secured Creditor Remedies, but, in the case of such action to exercise their Secured Creditor Remedies, only so long as the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior
Facility Creditors are not diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of their Secured Creditor Remedies, or attempting to vacate any stay of enforcement of the Senior Lien on, a material portion of the Collateral, including, without limitation,
any or all of the following: solicitation of bids from third parties to conduct the liquidation of all or a material portion of the Collateral, the engagement or retention of sales brokers, marketing agents, investment bankers, accountants,
appraisers or auctioneers for the purposes of, and the diligence pursuit with such parties of, valuing, marketing, promoting and selling a material portion of the Collateral, the commencement of any action to foreclose on the Senior Lien on all or
any material portion of the Collateral, notification of and diligent follow-up efforts with account debtors to make or cause the remittance of payments to the Senior Facility Agent or its agents, any action to take possession of all or any material
portion of the Collateral or commencement of any legal proceedings or actions against or with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such 120 day period shall be tolled during
such time as both the Senior Facility Agent and the Trustee are stayed from enforcing their liens on a material portion of the Collateral so long as the Senior Facility Agent is diligently attempting to obtain relief from such stay. In addition to
and not by way of limitation of the foregoing, at no time shall the Noteholders take any action that will impede, interfere with, restrict, or restrain the exercise by the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors of their rights and
remedies under the Senior Facility Documents to the full extent of the Senior Lien herein provided. If the Noteholders shall attempt any Secured Creditor Remedies or attempt any other action prohibited or restricted under this Agreement, any Obligor
or the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors may interpose as a defense or plea the making of this Agreement 

  

 E-9 

 
and the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors may intervene and interpose such defense in their name or in the name of any Obligor and any
Obligor or the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors may by virtue of this Agreement restrain the enforcement thereof in the name of any Obligor or the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors. Any Collateral or
proceeds thereof received by the Trustee or any Noteholder in connection with the exercise of any Secured Creditor Remedies in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Senior Facility Agent
for the benefit of the Senior Facility Creditors to the full extent of the Senior Lien as herein provided in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Senior Facility
Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Trustee or any such Noteholder. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 
 (c) This Section 6 shall not be construed in any way to limit or impair the right of (i) any Secured Creditor to bid for and
purchase Collateral at any private or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by any other Secured Creditor, (ii) the Trustee to join (but not control) any foreclosure or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to
the Collateral initiated by the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors thereon, so long as it does not delay or interfere with the exercise by the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors of their rights and
(iii) subject to the terms of this Agreement, the right of the Noteholders to receive payments from the proceeds of the collection, sale or other disposition of the Collateral. 
 7. Sections 9-611 and 9-613 Notice and Waiver of Marshalling. Each Secured Creditor hereby acknowledges that this Agreement shall constitute
notice of the other Secured Creditors’ respective interests in the Collateral as provided by Sections 9-611 and 9-613 of the UCC and each of the Secured Creditors waives any right to compel the other Secured Creditors to marshal any of the
Collateral or to seek payment from any particular assets of any Obligor or from any third party. 
 8. Insurance or Condemnation. In
the event of, in each case unless and until Payment in Full (including from the proceeds of any such event): 
 (a) a taking
or threatened taking by condemnation or other eminent domain of all or any portion of any Real Property (collectively, a “Taking”) or 
 (b) the occurrence of a fire or other casualty resulting in damage to all or any portion of any Collateral (collectively, a “Casualty”): 
 (i) the Trustee and the Noteholders hereby waive any right to participate or join in any adjustment, compromise, or settlement of any
claims resulting from a Taking or a Casualty with respect to any Collateral; 
 (ii) all proceeds received or to be received
on account of a Taking and/or Casualty shall be applied in the manner or manners provided for in the Senior Facility Documents; and 
 (iii) the Trustee agree to execute and deliver any documents, instruments, agreements or further assurances required to effectuate any of the foregoing. 
 9. Bankruptcy Issues. 
 (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
after the commencement of a Bankruptcy Case (all references herein to Obligors being deemed to apply to Obligors as debtors and debtors-in-possession and to a trustee for Obligors’ estate in a Bankruptcy Case), and shall apply with full force
and effect with respect to all Collateral acquired by such Obligors, and to all Secured Creditors’ Indebtedness incurred by Obligors as is then subject to the Senior Lien and the Trustee Lien, as the case may be, subsequent to such
commencement. 
  

 E-10 

 (b) The Trustee and the Noteholders shall not (i) object on any grounds (other than
grounds available to an unsecured creditor) to any use of cash collateral permitted by, or post-petition financing provided by, the Senior Facility Agent or any Senior Facility Creditor, provided that, the aggregate principal amount of
pre-petition Senior Indebtedness together with the aggregate principal amount of use of cash collateral or financing in such Bankruptcy Case will not exceed, at the time of determination, the Maximum Senior Principal Amount plus Related
Senior Obligations as are then secured by (or, in the absence of such Bankruptcy Case, would otherwise have been secured or been permitted to have been secured by the Senior Lien), (ii) seek adequate protection for the Trustee Lien in
connection with any Bankruptcy Case (other than in the form of any replacement lien and security interest to the Trustee Lien on post-petition assets of the Obligors which liens and security interests are subordinated to the Senior Lien securing the
Senior Indebtedness and such financing in the Bankruptcy Case (and all Indebtedness related thereto) on the same basis as the Trustee Lien is subordinated to the Senior Lien under this Agreement) or (iii) object to any motion by the Senior
Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors for relief from the automatic stay in respect of the Senior Lien in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code to exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies. 
 (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until Payment in Full, the Trustee and the Noteholders agree that the Senior
Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors may consent to the sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Trustee and the Noteholders
shall not object to any such sale (except upon ground available to an unsecured creditor); provided that such waiver of objection shall not limit or impair the Trustee’s or any Noteholder’s rights to proceeds thereof or therefrom
immediately after Payment in Full. 
 (d) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Facility
Agent or any Senior Facility Creditor from objecting in any Bankruptcy Case or otherwise to any action taken by the Trustee or any of the Noteholders, including, without limitation, the seeking by the Trustee or any Noteholder of adequate protection
or the asserting by the Trustee or any Noteholder of any of its rights and remedies in respect of the Trustee Lien. 
 (e) If
the Senior Facility Agent or any Senior Facility Creditor is required in any Bankruptcy Case or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount (a “Recovery”), then the relevant Senior Indebtedness
shall be reinstated to the extent of the lesser of such Recovery and the balance of Senior Indebtedness then remaining secured by the Senior Lien, subject, in each case to any such Recovery being the result of any actions taken or omissions made by
or on behalf of the Senior Facility Creditor Agent or any Senior Facility Creditors that constitute fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith, whereupon the Senior Lien on and with respect to such Recovery shall be equitably subordinated to the Trustee
Lien. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of
the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. 
 (f) If, in any Bankruptcy Case, debt obligations of the reorganized
debtor secured by liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of Senior Indebtedness and Noteholder Indebtedness, then, to the
extent the debt obligations distributed on account of Senior Indebtedness and Noteholder Indebtedness are secured by liens on the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such
plan and will apply with like effect, as subject to the same terms and limitations applicable to the Senior Lien and the Junior Lien hereunder, to the liens securing such debt obligations. 
  

 E-11 

 10. Notice of Default and Certain Events. Each of the Senior Facility Agent and the Trustee shall,
for and on behalf of the Senior Facility Creditors and the Noteholders, respectively, send written notice to each other upon the occurrence of any of the following as applicable: 
 (a) the declaration of any default under such Secured Creditor’s Documents, or the acceleration of any of such Secured
Creditor’s Indebtedness; or 
 (b) the commencement of any sale or liquidation of, or realization upon, any of the
Collateral. 
 Each such notice shall be sent to each other Secured Creditor contemporaneously with the sending of such notice to Obligors if
and when sent under the applicable Documents. The failure of any Secured Creditor to give such notice shall not affect the relative lien or security interest priorities or the other privileges of such Secured Creditor as provided in this Agreement
or give rise to any liability. 
 11. Bailment. With respect to any Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected pr the
priority thereof may be maintained under the UCC or other relevant law only by possession or ‘control’ (“Specified Collateral”), the Senior Facility Agent will act as pledgeholder and/or bailee and/or agent for control for
the Noteholders until Payment in Full, whereupon possession of any such Specified Collateral remaining shall be immediately transferred to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders; and immediately upon such transfer of possession the Trustee
shall become the pledgeholder and/or the bailee of the Specified Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholders. The Trustee acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors do not make any
representation or warranty whatsoever as to the nature, extent, description, validity or priority of any Specified Collateral or the security interests in or liens upon any Specified Collateral; (b) while any Specified Collateral is held by the
Senior Facility Agent, the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors shall not have any liability to, and shall be held harmless by, the Noteholders, for any losses, damages, claim, or liability of any kind to the extent arising out of
the holding of such Specified Collateral, other than losses, damages, claims, or liabilities arising out of the Senior Facility Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (c) the Trustee and the Noteholders shall immediately deliver
to the Senior Facility Agent any Specified Collateral that is now in or in the future comes into their possession until Payment in Full; and (d) the priority of the Secured Creditors’ security interests in and liens upon the Specified
Collateral shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. 
 12. Authority of the Senior Facility Agent and the Trustee.

 (a) The Senior Facility Agent represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement
has been duly authorized by the Senior Facility Creditors and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with
its terms. 
 (b) The Trustee represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement has
been duly authorized by the Noteholders and that this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Trustee and the Noteholders, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms. 
 (c) The Trustee agrees that any assignment or transfer of an interest in any of the Noteholder Indebtedness shall be made expressly
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Senior Facility Agent is the agent for the Senior Facility Creditors for all purposes of this Agreement and each Person that becomes a Senior Facility Creditor after the date of this
Agreement shall execute and deliver to the Senior Facility Agent an acknowledgment and consent to the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee is the trustee for the Noteholders for all purposes of this Agreement and each Person that becomes a
Noteholder after the date of this Agreement shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an acknowledgement and consent to the terms of this Agreement. 
  

 E-12 

 13. Modification of Documents; Additional Covenants. 
 (a) The Trustee agrees that the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors shall have absolute power and discretion, without
notice to the Noteholders, to deal in any manner with the Senior Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the power and discretion to do any of the following, in each case until Payment in Full: (i) any demand for payment of any Senior
Indebtedness may be rescinded in whole or in part, and any Senior Indebtedness may be continued, and the Senior Indebtedness or the liability of the Obligors upon or for any part thereof, or any Collateral or guaranty therefor, or right of offset
with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released; and (ii) except for such amendments as would cause the interest, fee or expense
components of Related Senior Indebtedness to be increased by a rate equaling or exceeding 3% on a per annum basis or would extent maturities or scheduled repayments by more than 12 months, the Senior Facility Documents may be amended, modified,
supplemented, refinanced (subject to any applicable Noteholder Refinance Option), renewed, refunded, extended or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors may deem advisable from time to time,
provided that, notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above and except as provided in Section 9(b), the Senior Facility Creditors shall not increase the principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness (excluding any Related Senior
Indebtedness) to a principal amount in excess of the Maximum Senior Principal Amount, and (iii) any Collateral may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered, or released. The Noteholders will remain bound under this Agreement, and the
subordination the Trustee Lien provided for herein shall not be impaired, abridged, released, or otherwise affected notwithstanding any such renewal, extension, modification, acceleration, compromise, amendment, supplement, termination, sale,
exchange, waiver, surrender, or release, in each case, to the extent permitted by this Agreement. The Senior Indebtedness as may from time to time be subject to the Senior Lien shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, or
incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and all dealings between the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors on the one hand, and the Obligors, on the other hand, shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this
Agreement. 
 (b) Without the prior written consent of the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors, the
Noteholders agree not to amend, modify or supplement, in whole or in part, any terms or provisions of any Noteholder Document in any manner directly and adversely affecting the rights and priorities appertaining to the Senior Lien pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 14. The Noteholders’ Waivers. Each Noteholder (a) waives any and all notice of
the creation, modification, renewal, extension, or accrual of any of the Senior Indebtedness and notice of or proof of reliance by Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors upon this Agreement; and (b) prior to Payment in Full,
waives any right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, or indemnity which it may have against any Obligor arising directly or indirectly out of this Agreement. 
 15. Rights As Unsecured Creditors. The Trustee and the Noteholders may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the Noteholder Documents and
applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Trustee or any Noteholders of the payments of interest and principal and indemnities, fees, expenses and all other amounts which have become due and payable so long as such
receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Trustee or any Noteholder of Secured Creditor Remedies in contravention of this Agreement. In the event the Trustee or any Noteholder becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of
Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the liens securing Senior Indebtedness on the same basis as the other liens securing the Noteholder Indebtedness are so
subordinated to such Senior Indebtedness under this Agreement. 
  

 E-13 

 16. Noteholders’ Purchase Option. 
 (a) Upon receipt by the Trustee of a notice (a “Trigger Notice”) by the Senior Facility Agent of its intent to
(i) accelerate any Senior Indebtedness, (ii) take any lien enforcement action with respect to the Collateral (other than any notification of account debtors) or (iii) request that the Trustee (or any agent thereof) release its liens
on the Collateral pursuant to Section 6(a) (each a “Trigger Event”), one or more of the Noteholders shall have the option, exercised by delivery of a notice to the Senior Facility Agent (a “Purchase Notice”),
to purchase from the Senior Facility Creditors all (but not less than all) of the Senior Indebtedness that then remains secured by the Senior Lien (such Noteholders electing to exercise such purchase right, the “Purchasing
Noteholders”), whereupon that portion of Senior Indebtedness not so purchased shall remain outstanding and subject to the priority of the Trustee Lien then continuing. The Purchase Notice shall be irrevocable. 
 (b) The Senior Facility Creditor shall deliver to Trustee any Trigger Notice referred to in Section 16(a) above (i) in the
absence of an Exigent Circumstance (as defined below), not less than 5 Business Days prior to the taking of the earliest of the actions described in Section 16(a) above or (ii) if Exigent Circumstances exist, as soon as commercially
reasonable and in any event contemporaneously with the taking of such action. The Purchasing Noteholders may send to the Senior Facility Agent a Purchase Notice within 5 Business Days of the receipt by the Senior Facility Agent of a Trigger Notice,
in which event, the Senior Facility Agent and the Senior Facility Creditors shall not accelerate the Senior Indebtedness or take any Secured Creditor Remedy to the extent such action has not been taken, or release, or request that the Trustee
release, its liens on the Collateral pursuant to Section 6(a), as the case may be, provided, that, the purchase and sale with respect to the Senior Indebtedness provided for in this Section 16 shall have closed within 10 Business Days
after receipt by the Senior Facility Agent of the Purchase Notice and the Senior Facility Agent shall have received payment in full of the Senior Obligations as provided for herein within such 3 Business Day period. As used herein, “Exigent
Circumstance” shall mean an event or circumstance that materially and imminently threatens the ability of the Senior Facility Agent, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, to realize upon all or a material part of the

the case of any updates of a material nature or scope such as would be required, for example, upon the Merger Closing, by means of restatement of the Perfection Certificate in its entirety in order to truly, accurately and completely reflect any and
all Collateral as then constituted and existing) simultaneously with any additions to, subtractions from or other changes in or to the Collateral occurring on or after the Effective Date (including by reason of the Merger Closing and the immediate

other changes as relate to Collateral items having de minimus value relative to the properly-reflected Collateral as a whole; and 
 (c) matters set forth with respect to the Collateral in the Perfection Certificate and/or applicable updates as and when required thereto shall constitute representations and warranties made and, with each such
update, affirmed in and pursuant to the Security Documents and, accordingly, any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or incompleteness therein or thereof shall constitute, except as and unless (x) relating to Collateral items having de minimus
value relative to the properly-reflected Collateral as a whole or (y) otherwise fully and promptly remedied (by the Company’s written delivery of true, accurate and complete updating data and the taking of all appropriate
Company/Subsidiary Guarantor actions as requisite to the valid attachment and due perfection of the Trustee’s first-priority Liens as required hereby in and on all Collateral as reflected among such updates) within fifteen (15) Business

and is continuing, the Grantor Parties shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends on the Stock Collateral paid in cash out of earned surplus. 
 (4) Rights Following Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred, then so long as such Event of Default shall continue, and whether or not the Trustee exercises any available right to declare any
Secured Obligation due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under or in respect of this Agreement or the Indenture, all dividends and other distributions on the Stock Collateral shall be
paid directly to the Trustee and retained by it in the Collateral Account as part of the Stock Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if the Trustee shall so request in writing, the Grantor Parties jointly and severally agree to

the Grantor Parties the right granted pursuant to clause (1) immediately above. The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 5.05 by the Trustee shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore
granted by the Grantor Parties in accordance with the first sentence of this clause (2). 
 (3) The Grantor Parties will
furnish to the Trustee from time to time upon its request (but, unless a Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, no more frequently than semi-annually) statements and schedules further identifying and describing

any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the
Trustee were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Grantor Party agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right); 
 (d) the Trustee in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of any Grantor Party or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive
any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; and 
 (e) the Trustee may, upon 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantor Parties of the time and place, with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Trustee, sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the
Trustee deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place

relating to such Trademark Collateral. The Trustee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may
be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned. 
 The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this
Section 5.05 shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.09. 
 The Grantor Parties recognize that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among
other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor Parties acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the
Trustee than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Trustee shall
have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Company or issuer thereof to register it for public sale. 
 5.06 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 are
insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Grantor Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency. 
 5.07 Locations; Names. Without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Trustee, no Grantor Party shall change its
“location” (as defined in Section 9-307 of the Uniform Commercial Code) or change its name from the name shown as its current legal name on Annex 1. 
 5.08 Private Sale. The Trustee shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to Section 5.05 conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner. Each Grantor Party hereby waives any claims against the Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained
at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree. 
 5.09 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of
all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Trustee under this Section 5, shall be applied by the Trustee: 
 First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Trustee and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the Trustee in connection therewith; 
 Second, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations in such manner of application as required under the Indenture, the
Notes and/or the other Transaction Documents; and 
 Finally, to the payment to the respective Grantor Parties,
or their respective successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining. 
 5.10
Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Trustee while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Trustee
is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of each Grantor Party for the purpose of 

  

 Security Agreement 
 - 14 - 

 
carrying out the provisions of this Section 5 and taking any action and executing any instruments which the Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Trustee shall be entitled under this Section 5 to
make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Trustee shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Grantor Party representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect
of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same. 
 5.11 Perfection. Prior to or concurrently
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Grantor Party shall (i) file such financing statements and other documents in such offices as the Trustee may reasonably request to perfect the security interests granted by Section 3
of this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the Trustee all certificates evidencing any of the Pledged Stock, accompanied by undated stock powers duly executed in blank, and, to the extent required by Section 3(b), all promissory notes and other
instruments evidencing any Pledged Debt identified in Annex 8 and (iii) execute and deliver such short form assignments or security agreements relating to Collateral consisting of the Intellectual Property as the Trustee may reasonably request.
Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor Party consents that Uniform Commercial Code financing statements may be filed describing the Collateral as set forth in Section 3. 
 5.12 Termination. When all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, this Agreement, together with all security interests and Liens
created or evidenced hereby, shall immediately and automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, and the Trustee shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or
representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the respective Grantor Party. The Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company, also execute and deliver to the respective Grantor Party
upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the respective Grantor Party to effect the termination and release of the Liens on the Collateral. 

5.13 Further Assurances. Each Grantor Party agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Trustee, such Grantor Party
will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Trustee may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

 6.02 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Trustee or any Holder to exercise, and no
course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Trustee of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 
 6.03 Amendments, Etc. The terms of this Agreement may be waived, altered or amended only by an instrument in writing duly executed by each Grantor Party and the Trustee.

the Trustee (including the expenses and reasonable fees of legal counsel) in connection with (i) any Default and any enforcement or collection proceeding resulting therefrom, including all manner of participation in or other involvement with

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
 $75,000,000 
 12% Senior Secured Notes Due 2010 
 Warrants to Purchase Common Stock 
 VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION 
 PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on July 3, 2006 by and among Velocity Express Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), the entities identified as guarantors of the Notes (as defined below) on the signature page to this Agreement (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and the persons and entities
identified as purchasers on the signature page to this Agreement (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively the “Purchasers”). Jefferies & Company, Inc. joins this Agreement only for purposes of
Section 5(f) and Section 11 and solely in its capacity as Closing Agent (as defined in Section 5(f)). 
 Background:

 The Company proposes to issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers propose to purchase from the Company, 75,000 units (the
“Units”), consisting of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”), as guaranteed by each subsidiary of the Company listed on Annex II
to this Agreement (the “Guarantors”), and warrants (each, a “Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 25,875,000 shares (collectively, the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock, par
value $0.004 of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Each Unit will consist of $1,000 principal amount of Notes and a Warrant to purchase 345 Warrant Shares. The Units, the Notes, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are
hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Securities.” 
 The Notes are to be issued pursuant to the provisions of
an indenture dated as of the date hereof (the “Indenture”) between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
 Certain subsidiaries of the Company will guarantee the Notes on a senior secured basis (the “Guarantees”). The Notes will have
the benefit of the Security Documents (as defined in the Indenture), pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will, among other things, grant liens on certain of their assets as set forth in the Security Documents. As used in this Agreement,
“Notes” shall include the Guarantees, unless the context otherwise requires. 
 Concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Company is issuing: (a) shares of the Company’s Series Q convertible preferred stock, par value $0.004 per share (the “Series Q Preferred Stock”), for aggregate cash consideration of
at least $40.0 million; (b) units (the “Exchange Units”) consisting of Notes and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrant Shares”) on terms substantially equivalent to
the Warrants and 2,465,418 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”), which Exchange Units and 

 
Exchange Shares are being issued in partial consideration for the acquisition by the Company of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of CD&L, Inc.,
common stock of CD&L, Inc. and certain warrants for cash to acquire common stock of CD&L, Inc. from investors in CD&L, Inc. and is acquiring from certain holders Series A Convertible Subordinated Debentures, warrants, and common stock of
CD&L, Inc. (collectively, the “CD&L Securities”) and (c) shares of Series Q Preferred Stock, warrants and Common Stock (collectively, the “Compensatory Securities”) to certain persons and
entities who provided services to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the CD&L Securities Purchase Agreements (as defined below), the purchase agreement related to the Series Q Preferred Stock or the
Merger Agreement. 
 Holders (including subsequent transferees) of the Warrants will have the registration rights set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) among the Company, the Purchasers, the purchasers of the Series Q Preferred Stock, the Exchange Units and the Exchange Shares and
the initial holders of the Compensatory Securities. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a shelf registration statement
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) to cover public resales of (a) the Warrant Shares, the Exchange Warrant Shares, the Exchange Shares and the Common Stock underlying the
warrants included in the Compensatory Securities, (b) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series Q Preferred Stock, (c) the Common Stock included in the Compensatory Securities and (d) the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Company’s other outstanding preferred stock that is not currently included in a registration statement. 
 This
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, each duly executed by the Purchasers, and the funds to be delivered to the Company by the Purchasers upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement will be held in escrow by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”). It is expected that this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and such funds will be released
concurrently with (a) the execution, delivery and performance of the stock purchase agreement pertaining to the Series Q Preferred Stock, (b) the execution and delivery of the purchase agreements related to the CD&L Securities
(collectively, the “CD&L Securities Purchase Agreements”) and consummation of the transaction contemplated thereby, (c) the execution and delivery of the voting agreements between the Company and each of
Albert Van Ness, Jr., William T. Brannan, Michael Brooks, Russell J. Reardon, Vincent P. Brana, Jack McCorkell and Matthew J. Morahan (collectively, the “Voting Agreements”); (d) the execution and delivery of the
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated concurrently with this Agreement by and among the Company, CD&L Acquisition Corp. and CD&L, Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”) and (e) the satisfaction of the other conditions set
forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the deposit of this Agreement pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, this Agreement will be dated as of, and will not be deemed to have been executed and delivered until, the date it is released to the Company in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. 
 The Securities will be offered and sold to the Purchasers without being registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on one or more exemptions therefrom.

each of the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since July 2, 2005, the Company’s proxy statement pertaining to its annual meeting of stockholders to be held on June 28, 2006 and each other filing made by the Company with
the Commission under the Exchange Act since July 2, 2005 (collectively, the “SEC Filings”). The Company has not made any filings with the Commission under 

  

 3 

 
the Exchange Act since July 2, 2005 except for the SEC Filings. Except as set forth in Annex III, the SEC Filings, when they were filed with the
Commission (or, if any amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and did
not, as of such date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. All reports and statements required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act have been filed, together with all exhibits required to be filed therewith. The Company and each of its direct and indirect
subsidiaries (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) are engaged in all material respects only in the business described in the SEC Filings, and the SEC Filings contain a complete and accurate description in all material respects
of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries. 
 (ii) Each registration statement and any amendment thereto filed by
the Company and which has become effective since January 1, 2004 pursuant to the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, as of the date such statement or amendment became effective, complied as to form in all material respects
with the Securities Act and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading; and each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, as of its issue date and as of the closing of any sale of securities pursuant thereto did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company will continue to make such filings as is necessary to comply with the obligations of a
company with a class of shares registered pursuant to Rule 12(g) of the Exchange Act. 
 (iii) Each filing required to be made
by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in connection with the acquisition of CD&L, Inc. or the acquisition of any interest in CD&L, Inc. shall, when filed with the Commission, comply in all material respects with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and will not, as of such date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. 
 For purposes of clarity, when any of the following representations and
warranties of the Company and the Guarantors in this Section 2 are qualified by reference to disclosures in the SEC Filings, such qualification shall apply only to express statements set forth in the body of the relevant SEC Filings and will
not include disclosures set forth in exhibits included in the SEC Filings. 
 (b) Organization, Good Standing. The
Company and each of the Subsidiaries has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws 

  

 4 

 
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, except to the extent such concept is inapplicable in such jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is
duly qualified and licensed and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or leasing of any properties or the character of its operations require such qualification or licensing (each of which
jurisdictions is designated on Annex IV to this Agreement), except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, results of operations, business or prospects of
the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”) or where such concept is inapplicable in such jurisdiction. 
 (c) Subsidiaries. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other
than the Subsidiaries. There are no Subsidiaries other than those set forth on Annex II. None of the Subsidiaries owns or controls directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity. Except as described in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K included among the SEC Filings, the Company owns, either directly or through other Subsidiaries, all of the outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary, in each case free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, encumbrances, pledges,
security interests, defects or other restrictions or equities of any kind whatsoever; and all outstanding capital stock of the Subsidiaries has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable and not issued in violation
of any preemptive rights or applicable securities laws. 
 (d) Power and Authority. Each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority (corporate and other), and has obtained any and all requisite authorizations, approvals, orders, licenses, certificates, franchises and permits of and from all governmental or regulatory officials
and bodies, to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the SEC Filings, except where the failure to have any such power, authority, authorization, approval, order license, certificate, franchise or permit would not have
a Material Adverse Effect; each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is and has been doing business in compliance with all such authorizations, approvals, orders, licenses, certificates, franchises and permits and all federal, foreign, state and
local laws, rules and regulations, except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of any such authorization, approval, order, license, certificate, franchise or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) Capitalization. The Company has an authorized capitalization as set forth in part A of Annex V to this Agreement. After giving
effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the CD&L Securities Purchase Agreements and the issue of the Compensatory Securities, the Company will have an authorized capitalization as set forth in part B of Annex V to this
Agreement. All issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company (deeming the Series Q Preferred Stock, the Exchange Units, the Exchange Shares and the Compensatory Securities as outstanding for this purpose) have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, as applicable; the holders thereof have no rights of rescission with respect thereto and are not subject to personal liability by reason of being such holders; and none of such
securities were issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any 

  

 5 

 
securityholder of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or similar contractual rights granted by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries. 
 (f) The Securities. 
 (i) The Notes will be issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indenture. The Indenture conforms in all material respects to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the
“Trust Indenture Act”), and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust Indenture Act (collectively, the “Rules and Regulations”)
applicable to an indenture which is qualified thereunder. The Notes have been duly authorized and, when validly authenticated, issued, delivered and paid for in the manner contemplated by the Indenture, will be duly authorized, validly issued and
outstanding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and the Security Documents. 
 (ii) The Warrants have been duly authorized and when validly issued, delivered and paid for in the manner contemplated by this Agreement,
will be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable. The Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will, upon payment and issuance in accordance with the terms of the Warrants, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, and the Company has duly authorized and reserved the Warrant
Shares for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants. 
 (iii) The Warrant Shares will be issued in compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws and all applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed. 
 (iv) The Securities are not and will not be subject to any preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries; all corporate action required to be taken on behalf of the Company for the authorization, issue and sale of the Securities has been duly and validly taken; and the certificates representing the Warrant Shares will comply with
the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 
 (v) Upon the issuance and delivery pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and the Indenture, as applicable, of the Securities, the Purchasers will acquire good and marketable title thereto (subject to restrictions imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws) free and clear of any lien, charge, claim,
encumbrance, pledge, security interest, defect or other restriction or equity of any kind whatsoever (other than restrictions created by the Purchasers). 
 (g) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Subsidiaries together with the related notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the most recent
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q included among the 

  

 6 

 
SEC Filings fairly present the financial position, income, changes in stockholders’ equity, cash flow and results of operations of the Company and the
Subsidiaries at the respective dates and for the respective periods to which they apply, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the Rules and
Regulations, consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and, in the case of quarterly financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q under the Securities Act). Except as set
forth in the financial statements of the Company set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q included among the SEC Filings, since the date of the latest financial statements included in the most
recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q included among the SEC Filings: (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except those incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent
(as to amount and nature) with past practices, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) there has been no material adverse change or development involving
a prospective material change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business, prospects or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of
business; (iii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has entered into any material transaction other than in the ordinary course of business; and (iv) the Company has not declared or paid any dividend or made any other distribution on or
in respect of its capital stock. The outstanding debt, the property, both tangible and intangible, and the businesses of each of the Company and the Subsidiaries conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K and the most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q included among the SEC Filings. 
 (h) Taxes.
Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has filed all income and franchise tax returns required to be filed (after giving effect to all permissible extensions) through the date hereof by it in any jurisdiction, and has paid all taxes shown to be
due on such returns or claimed to be due from such entities, other than those being contested in good faith, except where the failure to so file or pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect. All tax liabilities, including those being contested by
the Company or the Subsidiaries are adequately reserved for in the Company’s financial statements (in accordance with GAAP). No tax deficiency has been asserted and no tax proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, are
threatened against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries which, if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect, and to the knowledge of the Company, no such deficiency or proceeding is contemplated. 
 (i) No Transfer Tax. No transfer tax, stamp duty or other similar tax is payable by or on behalf of the Purchasers in connection
with (i) the issuance by the Company of the Securities, (ii) the purchase by the Purchasers of the Notes or the Warrants from the Company or (iii) the consummation by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the
Indenture, the Warrants, the Escrow Agreement or the Security Documents. 
 (j) Insurance. Each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries maintains liability, casualty and other insurance (subject to customary deductions and retentions) against such risk of the types and in the amounts customarily maintained by companies of comparable size to the 

  

 7 

 
Company engaged in similar businesses in similar industries, all of which insurance is in full force and effect.

subject the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to any damage or penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental litigation or proceeding (domestic or foreign). Each of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ internal accounting controls are
sufficient to cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to comply in all material respects with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. 
 (i) Interpretation. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their
mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. 
 (j) Counterparts and
Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more
counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered via facsimile, which shall be deemed an original. 
 (k) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and
shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. 
 (l) Remedies. Each Purchaser and each holder of the Securities shall have all
rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person
having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise
all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief
to the Purchasers. The Company therefore agrees that the Purchasers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

 (m) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchasers hereunder or
pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Purchasers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 
 (n)
Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Unit Transaction Document are several and not joint 

  

 31 

 
with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser
under any Unit Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Unit Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture
or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Unit Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Unit Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Unit Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the
same terms and Unit Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

 Annex III 
 The Company’s Form 10-K and 10-K/A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2005 contained incorrect statements of beneficial ownership of
the Company’s common stock held by the owners thereof under the caption “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” due to a failure of the Company to correctly account for antidilution adjustments to its Series
M, N, O and P series of convertible preferred stock and under warrants. The Company has recomputed such beneficial ownership and is in the process of preparing and filing a 10-K/A to reflect such ownership. The Company recomputed such ownership and
reflected the same in its definitive proxy statement filed pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act in connection with its annual meeting of stockholders to be held on June 28, 2006.
