	35
	 

Section 2.01.    Form and Dating.
(a)    General.  The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A.  The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.  Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication.  The Notes will be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture will govern and be controlling.
(b)    Global Notes.  Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).  Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).  Each Global Note will represent such aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each will provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions and transfers of interests therein.  Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06
(c)    Book-Entry Provisions.  This Section 2.01(c) will apply only to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary.  Participants and Indirect Participants will have no rights under this Indenture or any Global Note with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary, and the Depositary will be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.
(d)    Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable.  The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

(e)    Certificated Securities.  The Company will exchange Global Notes for Definitive Notes if: (1) at any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes or if at any time the Depositary will no longer be eligible to act as such because it ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company will not have appointed a successor Depositary within 120 days after the date of such notice, or (2) upon written request of a Holder if a Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.
Upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clauses (1) or (2) above, the Company will execute, and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver, Definitive Notes, in authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes.

Section 2.02.    Execution and Authentication.
(a)    One Officer will execute the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
(b)    If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated by the Trustee, the Note will nevertheless be valid.
(c)    A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.  The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
(d)    The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.
(e)    The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  Unless otherwise provided in such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent will have the same rights as the Trustee to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03.    Registrar and Paying Agent.
(a)    The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).  The Registrar will keep a register (the “Security Register”) of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.  The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee will act as such.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
(b)    The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.
(c)    The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes, and the Trustee hereby agrees so to initially act.

Section 2.04.    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all funds held by it relating to the Notes to the Trustee.  The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all funds held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for such funds.  If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all funds held by it as Paying Agent.  Upon any Event of Default under Section 6.01(g) or (h) relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05.    Holder Lists.
The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and will otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date or such shorter time as the Trustee may allow, as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Company will otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).

Section 2.06.    Transfer and Exchange.
(a)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.  All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:
(i)    the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;
(ii)    subject to any limitations imposed by the Depositary pursuant to its then-current practices, the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or
(iii)    upon written request of a Holder if there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes.
Upon the occurrence of the events set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Definitive Notes will be issued in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and in such names as the Depositary will instruct the Trustee.  Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof.  Except as provided for above, every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be, a Global Note.

Upon consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer by the Company in accordance with Section 2.06(f), the requirements of this Section 2.06(b)(ii) will be deemed to have been satisfied upon receipt by the Registrar of the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal delivered by the Holder of such beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes.  Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee will adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(h).

The Company shall provide prompt written notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of a Registered Exchange Offer, the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination Date and the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period.

Section 2.07.    Replacement Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee will authenticate a replacement Note.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, the Holder of such Note will provide indemnity that is sufficient, in the judgment of the Trustee or the Company, to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer in connection with such replacement.  If required by the Company, such Holder will reimburse the Company for its reasonable expenses in connection with such replacement.
Every replacement Note issued in accordance with this Section 2.07 will be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same debt as the destroyed, lost or stolen Note, and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note will not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; provided, however, that Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(c).
(b)    If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it will cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
(c)    If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it will cease to be outstanding and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on it will cease to accrue.

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

Section 2.10.    Temporary Notes.
Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes.

Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes or Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes, as applicable.  After preparation of Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.11.    Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  Upon sole direction of the Company, the Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act or other applicable laws).  Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes will be delivered to the Company from time to time upon request.  The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12.    Defaulted Interest.
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest and Additional Interest, if any, proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment.  The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related Interest Payment Date for such defaulted interest and Additional Interest, if any.  At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related Interest Payment Date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

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

Section 2.14.    Additional Interest.
If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and paragraph 1 of the Notes, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such interest is payable pursuant to Section 4.01.  Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate or instruction or direction from the Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable.  The foregoing will not prejudice the rights of the Holders with respect to their entitlement to Additional Interest as otherwise set forth in this Indenture or the Notes and pursuing any action against the Company directly or otherwise directing the Trustee to take any such action in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes.  If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such payment.

Section 2.15.    Issuance of Additional Notes.
The Company will be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09 and 4.11, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which will have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and rights under a related registration rights agreement, if any.  The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, any Additional Notes and all Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including directions, waivers, amendments, consents, redemptions and offers to purchase.
With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company will set forth in a Board Resolution (solely with respect to clause (a) of this Section 2.15) and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:
(a)    the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;
(b)    the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP and/or ISIN number of such Additional Notes; provided, however, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, other than a de minimis original issue discount within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code; and
(c)    whether such Additional Notes will be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.06 relating to Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes.

Section 2.16.    Record Date.
The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent or permitted under this Indenture will be determined as provided for in Section 2.12, Section 9.02 and TIA §316(c), as applicable.

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01.    Notices to Trustee.
If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07, it will furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (or such shorter period as allowed by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (a) the applicable section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption will occur, (b) the redemption date, (c) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price, if then ascertainable.

Section 3.02.    Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase:
(a)    if the Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or
(b)    if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Notes issued in global form pursuant to Article 2 hereof, based on a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate), by lot or by such other method required by law or depositary requirements.
In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.
The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased.  No Notes of $2,000 or less will be redeemed or purchased in part.  Notes and portions of Notes selected for redemption or purchase will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder will be redeemed or purchased.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03.    Notice of Redemption.
Subject to Section 3.09, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address appearing in the Security Register, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Article 8 or a satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Article 11.
The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:
(a)    the redemption date;
(b)    the appropriate method for calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption price itself; the actual redemption price may be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee prior to the redemption date;
(c)    if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, if applicable, a new Note or Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued to the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note;
(d)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(e)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(f)    that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;
(g)    the applicable section of this Indenture or the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;
(h)    that no representation is made as to the correctness of the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and
(i)    if applicable, any condition to such redemption.
At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company will have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (or such shorter period allowed by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice (in the name and at the expense of the Company) and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03.

Section 3.04.    Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Except as provided for in Section 3.07(e), once a notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption will become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.  If mailed in a manner herein provided, the notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not a Holder receives such notice.  In any case, failure to give notice or any defect in such notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

Section 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.
On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption or purchase date (or such later time of day to which the Trustee may reasonably agree), the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.
If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment.  If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date.  If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest and Additional Interest, if any, not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Section 3.06.    Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary only an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02 and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

Section 3.07.    Optional Redemption.
(a)    Except as set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 3.07, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to August 15, 2018.  On and after August 15, 2018, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, at once or over time, after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the relevant Interest Payment Date:

(b)    At any time prior to August 15, 2018, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or any portion of the Notes after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
(c)    At any time prior to August 15, 2018, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price of 109.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of a sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock or any Preferred Stock) of the Company, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the relevant Interest Payment Date; provided that:
(1)    at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Company and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and
(2)    the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such sale of Equity Interests.
(d)    In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described in Section 4.17) purchase all of the Notes held by such Holders in accordance with Section 4.17, the Company will have the right, after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described in Section 4.17, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of the Notes on the relevant regular record date to receive interest and Additional Interest, if any, due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the applicable redemption date.
(e)    Any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an offering of Capital Stock, other offering or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption or notice in respect thereof is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the applicable redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by such redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given prior to noon New York City time one Business Day prior to such redemption date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded or delayed as provided in such notice. 
(f)    Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 will be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

Section 3.08.    Mandatory Redemption.
The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.  However, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to offer to purchase Notes as set forth in Sections 3.09, 4.12, 4.17 and 4.22.

Section 3.09.    Offer To Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.
(a)    In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.12, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below.
(b)    The Asset Sale Offer will be made to all Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets.  The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”).  No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer.  Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.
(c)    If the Purchase Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest or Additional Interest, if any, will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.
(d)    Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders.  The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.  The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:
(1)    that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.12 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;
(2)    the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;
(3)    that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest and Additional Interest, if any;
(4)    that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest and Additional Interest, if any, after the Purchase Date;
(5)    that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof (so long as no Note of $2,000 or less will be purchased in part);
(6)    that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least two Business Days before the Purchase Date;
(7)    that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;
(8)    that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased; so long as no Note of $2,000 or less will be purchased in part);
(9)    that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer); and
(10)    any other procedures the Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.
(e)    On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09.  The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than two Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate will be required for the Trustee to authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred) such new Note; and provided, further, each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof.  The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.
(f)    Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 will be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If at any time the Company will fail to maintain any such required office or agency or will fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
(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.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
(c)    The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office, as one such office, drop facility or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 4.03.    Reports.
(a)    Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will make available to the Trustee, the Holders of Notes, any Beneficial Owner of the Notes, prospective investors, securities analysts and market makers in the Notes (which requirement may be satisfied by filing with the SEC for public availability or posting on the Company’s website if the SEC will not accept such filings), within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:
(1)    all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such reports; and
(2)    all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.
All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports.

The Company will at all times comply with TIA §314(a).
If, at any time, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Company will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing.  The Company will not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraph on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.
(b)    If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by clause (a) of this Section 4.03 will be accompanied by a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company, or the Company will make such presentation available to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes by posting such information to its website.

The Company will make available the details regarding such conference calls to the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes, the Beneficial Owners of the Notes, prospective investors, securities analysts and market makers in the Notes by posting such information on the Company’s website.

The Company will be deemed to have provided such information to Holders, securities analysts and prospective investors if it has filed reports containing such information with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available.
(e)    To the extent any such information is not so filed or furnished, as applicable, within the time periods specified above and such information is subsequently filed or furnished, as applicable, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any default with respect thereto will be deemed to have been cured; provided that such cure will not otherwise affect the rights of Holders of the Notes if Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes have declared the principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately and such declaration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.
(f)    Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee to the extent required hereunder is for informational purposes only, the Trustee has no duty or obligation to investigate further and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information or documents will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of the covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).

Section 4.04.    Compliance Certificate.
(a)    The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default will have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).
(b)    The Company will otherwise comply with TIA §314(a)(2).
(c)    The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 10 Business Days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05.    Taxes.
The Company will pay, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except such as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06.    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.
The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted.

Section 4.07.    Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 5, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each Guarantor, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Guarantor and (ii) the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and such Guarantors; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise of the Company or any Guarantor, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any Guarantor, if the Company’s or such Guarantor’s Board of Directors will determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes, or that such preservation is not necessary in connection with any transaction not prohibited by this Indenture.

Section 4.08.    Payments for Consent.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 4.09.    Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified and Preferred Stock.
(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur “) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such Preferred Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four fiscal quarter reference period; provided further that Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may not incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test under this paragraph, if after giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or issuance (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors would be outstanding pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test under this paragraph in an aggregate amount of more than the greater of (x) $20.0 million and (y) 3.50% of Total Assets.
(b)    Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):
(1)    the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities (and guarantees thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed the excess of (x) the greater of (A) $55.0 million (or the foreign currency equivalent) denominated in U.S. dollars and (B) 9.50% of Total Assets over (y) the aggregate amount of permanent repayments of principal made under the Credit Facilities on or before such date with Excess Cash Flow (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be calculated and applied for purposes of this clause (y) at the time of determination of Excess Cash Flow in connection with any Excess Cash Flow Offer) and to the extent (A) such repayments resulted in a concurrent corresponding reduction in the lenders’ revolving commitments then outstanding under the Credit Facilities, (B) such repayments are deducted in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow used in determining the Excess Cash Flow Amount for such Excess Cash Flow Offer and (C) such repayments have not previously reduced the amount of this exception (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no repayments made as part of a refinancing in full of the Credit Facilities shall result in a deduction herefrom);
(2)    the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;
(3)    the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and Note Guarantees thereof to be issued on the Issue Date (and any Notes and Note Guarantees issued in exchange for the Notes and Note Guarantees pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement);
(4)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Attributable Debt, Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings, project financing, or purchase money obligations, in each case (other than Attributable Debt), incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed at any time outstanding the greater of (x) $45.0 million and (y) 7.75% of Total Assets;
(5)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) or clauses (2), (3), (5) or (12) of this Section 4.09(b);
(6)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:
(a)    if the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee thereof is a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, as the case may be; and
(b)    (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);
(7)    the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that:
(a)    any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and
(b)    any sale or other transfer of any such Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (7);
(8)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations (which may, but need not be, under Credit Facilities) for the purpose of hedging risks associated with the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
(9)    the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then the guarantee will be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;
(10)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, performance, surety, statutory, or appeal bonds in the ordinary course of business;
(11)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days;
(12)    Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary incurred and outstanding on or prior to the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Company (other than Indebtedness incurred in contemplation of, or in connection with, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary of or was otherwise acquired by the Company); provided, however, that for any such Indebtedness outstanding at any time under this clause (12), on the date that such Subsidiary is acquired by the Company, the Company would either (a) have been able to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or (b) have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the four-quarter period most recently ended on or prior to the date on which such acquisition had occurred after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio that the Company would have had for the same four-quarter period if such transaction had not occurred;
(13)    Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any assets or property or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary;
(14)    Indebtedness in respect of (a) netting services, overdraft protections and otherwise in connection with deposit accounts and (b) “US Cash Management Products and Services,” “Canadian Cash Management Products and Services” and “European Cash Management Products and Services” (each as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement (as in effect on the Issue Date));
(15)    the incurrence by (i) any Securitization Subsidiary of Indebtedness pursuant to a Qualified Securitization Financing or (ii) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under factoring agreements providing for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of any receivable on arm’s length terms for cash payable at the time of disposal, in an aggregate principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (15), not to exceed at any time outstanding the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 8.50% of Total Assets;
(16)    the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness (which may, but need not, be pursuant to Credit Facilities) in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (16), not to exceed the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 7.0% of Total Assets;
(17)    Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company supported by a letter of credit issued pursuant to a Credit Facility incurred under clause (1) of this Section 4.09(b) in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit; and
(18)    Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred under this clause (18) which, when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (18), does not exceed the greater of (x) $20.0 million and (y) 3.50% of Total Assets.
(c)    Neither the Company nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or Note Guarantees on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.
(d)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (18) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09.  Indebtedness under Credit Facilities outstanding on the date on which Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture will initially be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Debt.  Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.09 permitting such Indebtedness.  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 or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.
(e)    For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar- denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 will not be or be deemed to be exceeded as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.
(f)    The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:
(1)    the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;
(2)    the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and
(3)    in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:
(a)    the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and
(b)    the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 4.10.    Restricted Payments.
(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:
(i)    declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company and other than dividends or distributions payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);
(ii)    purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company;
(iii)    make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness of the Company that is contractually subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee (excluding any intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof (other than the redemption, purchase, repurchase or other acquisition for value of Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final Stated Maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such redemption, purchase, repurchase or other acquisition); or
(iv)    make any Restricted Investment;
(all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (i) through (iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:
(1)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;
(2)    the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four fiscal quarter reference period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); and
(3)    such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (12) of Section 4.10(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:
(A)    50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus
(B)    100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company since the Issue Date (i)    as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company including upon exercise of stock options whether issued before or after the Issue Date (other than Disqualified Stock or Excluded Contributions) or (ii) from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Subsidiary of the Company); plus
(C)    100% of the aggregate amount received in cash and the Fair Market Value of property and marketable securities received by means of (i) the sale or other disposition (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of Restricted Investments made by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date and repurchases and redemptions of such Restricted Investments from the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries and repayments of loans or advances which constitute Restricted Investments by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) the sale (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a distribution from an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a dividend from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case of (i) and (ii) not to exceed the lesser of (x) the initial amount treated as a Restricted Investment and (y) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment; plus
(D)    to the extent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary, or merged or consolidated into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary are transferred to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, after the Issue Date, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation or (ii) such Fair Market Value as of the date on which such Subsidiary was originally designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date; plus
(E)    an amount equal to the sum of the net reduction in the Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any Person resulting from repurchases, repayments or redemptions of such Investments by such Person, proceeds realized on the sale of such Investment and proceeds representing the return of capital (excluding dividends and distributions), in each case received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date.
(b)    The provisions of Section 4.10(a) will not prohibit (provided that with respect to clauses (5), (7), (9), (10) and (12) below, no Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby):
(1)    the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;
(2)    the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially concurrent contribution of common equity capital to the Company; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from clause (3)(B) of Section 4.10(a);
(3)    the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company with the net cash proceeds from a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;
(4)    the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited liability company, any similar distribution) by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Equity Interests who are not Affiliates of the Company on a pro rata basis;
(5)    the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company held by any current or former officer, director or employee of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any employment agreement, equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement, stock option plan, other benefit plan or similar agreement or arrangement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $7.0 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum of $10.0 million in any such calendar year); provided further that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of “key-man” life insurance policies received by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date;
(6)    the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights to the extent such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options or stock appreciation rights;
(7)    the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Company issued on or after the Issue Date in accordance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a);

(9)    in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and if no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing, the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, in each case, at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that prior to or contemporaneously with such payment, purchase, redemption or defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the Company (or a third party to the extent permitted by this Indenture) has made the Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes and has repurchased all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such Change of Control Offer;
(10)    in the event of an Asset Sale which requires the Company to make an Asset Sale Offer, and if no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing, the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, in each case, at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that prior or contemporaneously with such payment, purchase, redemption or defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the Company has made an Asset Sale Offer with respect to the Notes and has repurchased all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such Asset Sale Offer;
(11)    the purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement for a nominal value per right of any rights granted to all the holders of Capital Stock of the Company pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan adopted for the purpose of protecting shareholders from unfair takeover practices; provided that any such purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement of such rights will not be for the purpose of evading the limitations of this Section 4.10 (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company);
(12)    other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25.0 million since the Issue Date; and
(13)    Restricted Payments made with Excluded Contributions.
The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.  If the Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.10 exceeds $25.0 million, the Board of Directors’ determination of Fair Market Value must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing in the United States.

Section 4.11.    Liens.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

Section 4.12.    Asset Sales.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1)    the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (provided that Fair Market Value will be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale); and
(2)    except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash.  For purposes of this clause (2), each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
(a)    Cash Equivalents;
(b)    any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from, or indemnifies the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary against, further liability;
(c)    any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 180 days by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;
(d)    any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the next paragraph of this Section 4.12; and
(e)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (e) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $20.0 million and (y) 3.5% of Total Assets.
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:
(1)    to permanently repay or prepay (x) to the extent such Net Proceeds are attributable to an Asset Sale of assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral, Indebtedness and other Obligations (or cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit with a corresponding reduction of commitments with respect thereto) under a Credit Facility that is incurred in compliance with clause (1) of Section 4.09(b) and secured by a Permitted Lien described in clause (1) of the definition thereof and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto or (y) to the extent such Net Proceeds are attributable to an Asset Sale of assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor;
(2)    to acquire (including by way of a purchase of assets or stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise) all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;
(3)    to make a capital expenditure; or
(4)    to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business;
provided that in the case of clauses (2), (3) and (4) above, a legally binding commitment will be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary applies such Net Proceeds within 180 days of entering into such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”); provided, further, that if any Acceptable Commitment is cancelled or terminated for any reason more than 365 days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds, then such Net Proceeds will constitute Excess Proceeds.
Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings (under the Credit Facilities or otherwise) or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second paragraph of this Section 4.12 will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15.0 million, within 30 days thereof, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and all holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness evidenced or governed by Pari Passu Payment Lien Documents containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to mandatory prepayments and offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.  The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Company (or the applicable agent for such Pari Passu Indebtedness) will select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis.  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.13.    Dividend And Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.
(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:
(1)    pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(2)    make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or
(3)    sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.
(b)    The restrictions in Section 4.13(a) will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:
(1)    agreements governing Existing Indebtedness and Credit Facilities as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are either (i) not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Holders of the Notes than such encumbrances or restrictions contained in those agreements on the Issue Date or (ii) not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes than in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Company) and either (x) the Company determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes or (y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness;
(2)    the Indenture Documents;
(3)    applicable law, rule, regulation or order;
(4)    any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;
(5)    customary non-assignment provisions in contracts, leases, joint venture agreements, licenses and similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;
(6)    purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 4.13(a);
(7)    any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary or assets that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary or the transfer of the assets pending the sale or other disposition;
(8)    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;
(9)    Liens permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;
(10)    provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, Capital Stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which limitation is applicable only to the assets, or (in the case of Capital Stock sales) entities, that are the subject of such agreements;
(11)    agreements governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company under the provisions of Section 4.09; provided that such agreements (except those agreements entered into pursuant to clauses (16) or (18) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”) are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the agreements governing Credit Facilities as in effect on the Issue Date; and
(12)    encumbrances and restrictions applicable to a Securitization Subsidiary that in the good faith judgment of the Company are necessary or advisable to effect the transactions contemplated under a Qualified Securitization Financing.

Section 4.14.    Transactions with Affiliates.
(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:
(1)    the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have reasonably been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and
(2)    the Company delivers to the Trustee:
(a)    with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.14 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company; and
(b)    with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing in the United States.
(b)    The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.14(a):
(1)    any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer, trustee or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;
(2)    transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(3)    transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;
(4)    payment of reasonable compensation or fees to directors, officers, employees, managers or consultants of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(5)    payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants of the Company, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and employment agreements, stock option plans and other similar arrangements with such employees or consultants which, in each case of a payment, loan or cancellation exceeding $2.0 million, are approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company;
(6)    any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company;
(7)    Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.10;
(8)    Permitted Investments that are permitted by the provisions of this Indenture;
(9)    provision of corporate-level administrative, marketing, tax, accounting, budgeting, treasury, finance, employee benefits, legal, risk management and other similar services for the benefit of Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company on substantially the same terms provided to Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company;
(10)    payment of consolidated taxes on behalf of Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any payment pursuant to this clause (10) with respect to the income of any Unrestricted Subsidiary for any taxable period shall be limited to the amount actually paid with respect to such period by such Unrestricted Subsidiary to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(11)    payment of sales agency, administration, management, license and other fees, reimbursement of expenses, and payment of interest, principal, dividends or other distributions, in each case from an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company;
(12)    sales or other dispositions of receivables in connection with any factoring agreements providing for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of any receivable on arm’s length terms for cash payable at the time of disposal;
(13)    any agreement in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date); and
(14)    any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Financing.

Section 4.15.    Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:
(1)    the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under Section 4.09 and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.11;
(2)    the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction; and
(3)    the transfer of assets in that sale and leaseback transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, Section 4.12.

Section 4.16.    Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.  If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as Unrestricted will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.10 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company.  That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.  Any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.10
If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Company will be in default of such Section.  The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted by Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four fiscal quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 4.17.    Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer on the terms set forth in this Indenture (the “Change of Control Offer”).  In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of Control Payment) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest and Additional Interest, if any, due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.  Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions and identifying the ratings decline that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice.  If mailed in a manner herein provided, the notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not a Holder receives such notice.  In any case, failure to give notice or any defect in such notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of any other Note.  The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
(1)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
(3)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.
The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.  The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.
The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given for all of the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.18.    Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness.
The Company will not permit any of its Domestic Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to guarantee or pledge any assets to secure the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company (except Permitted Liens) unless such Domestic Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for the guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Domestic Subsidiary, which guarantee will be senior to or pari passu with such Domestic Subsidiary’s guarantee of or pledge to secure such other Indebtedness.

Section 4.19.    Business Activities.
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.20.    Note Guarantees.
If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates a Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Securitization Subsidiary or an Immaterial Subsidiary) will become a Guarantor and (i) execute a supplemental indenture (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit E) and joinder agreements or similar agreements with respect to the applicable Collateral Documents necessary in order to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a security interest, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Permitted Liens, in substantially all of the assets (other than Excluded Assets) of such Domestic Subsidiary; (ii) take such actions necessary to perfect such security interest as may be required by the Collateral Documents (including the filing of a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement), as and when required thereby; (iii) cause the delivery to the Collateral Agent of the certificates, if any, representing all of the Equity Interests of such Domestic Subsidiary, together with undated stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the holder(s) of such Equity Interests; and (iv) deliver an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Collateral Agent that such supplemental indenture and any other documents required to be delivered, in each case, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Domestic Subsidiary and constitute legally valid and binding and enforceable obligations of such Domestic Subsidiary and regarding the perfection of such Liens in the Collateral and Equity Interests of such Domestic Subsidiary as provided for in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents (in form and substance substantially consistent with the form of the Opinion of Counsel delivered on the Issue Date (subject to customary qualifications, exceptions and assumptions)) within 20 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created, except to the extent otherwise provided under Section 4.21 or the Pledge and Security Agreement.  The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary as a Guarantor at any time.

Section 4.21.    Real Estate Mortgages and Filings.
(a)    With respect to any Material Real Estate Asset or any Real Estate Asset owned, leased or subleased on the Issue Date becomes a Material Real Estate Asset and such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within 120 days of the latest of (x) the Issue Date, (y) the date of the acquisition, leasing or subleasing thereof or (z) the date on which such Real Estate Asset became a Material Real Estate Asset, deliver to the Collateral Agent:
(1)    fully executed counterparts of Mortgages duly executed by the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, together with evidence of the completion (or satisfactory arrangements for the completion), of all recordings and filings of such Mortgage as may be necessary to create a valid, perfected Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, against such Material Real Estate Asset purported to be covered thereby;
(2)    title insurance policies in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes in an amount equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Premises purported to be covered by the related Mortgage, insuring that title to such property is marketable and that the interests created by the Mortgage constitute valid Liens thereon free and clear of all Liens, defects and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens and including endorsements to such title insurance policies as commercially reasonable in similar transactions, including, but not limited to (to the extent available in the applicable State): ALTA 9 (Comprehensive), T-19 Comprehensive (for real property in the State of Texas), Land Same as Survey, Access, Separate Tax Lot, Contiguity, Subdivision, Usury, Environmental Protection Lien, Doing Business, Utilities Access, Mortgage Recording Tax, and Deletion of Arbitration;
(3)    with respect to each of the covered Material Real Estate Asset, the most recent survey of such Material Real Estate Asset, together with either (i) an updated survey certification in favor of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from the applicable surveyor stating that, based on a visual inspection of the property and the knowledge of the surveyor, there has been no change in the facts depicted in the survey or (ii) an affidavit from the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, stating that there has been no change, other than, in each case, changes that do not materially adversely affect the use by the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, of such Material Real Estate Asset for the business of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, as so conducted, or intended to be conducted, at such Material Real Estate Asset;
(4)    legal opinions addressed to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee from local counsel in the jurisdictions where such Material Real Estate Asset is located and the jurisdictions of formation of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, entering into the relevant Mortgages, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent;
(5)    such other information, documentation, and certifications as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent or necessary in order to create valid, perfected and subsisting first priority Liens against such Material Real Estate Asset covered by the relevant Mortgages; and
(6)    an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, has complied with the foregoing.
(b)    With respect to any Leasehold Property that is Material Real Estate Asset or any Leasehold Property leased or subleased on the Issue Date that becomes a Material Real Estate Asset and such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, the Company or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, within 120 days of the latest of (x) the Issue Date, (y) the date of the leasing or subleasing thereof or (z) the date on which such Leasehold Property became a Material Real Estate Asset, cause a Landlord Personal Property Collateral Access Agreement and a Landlord Consent and Estoppel to be executed by the applicable landlord and delivered to the Collateral Agent.

Section 4.22.    Excess Cash Flow.
(a)    If the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have Excess Cash Flow for any fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, the Company will be required to make an offer (an “Excess Cash Flow Offer”) to all Holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased with 75% of such Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount”); provided that for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, Excess Cash Flow will be calculated for the five consecutive fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2017. The offer price for such Excess Cash Flow Offer shall be an amount in cash (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment”) equal to 101.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest and Additional Interest, if any, due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.
(b)    Within 95 days after the end of any fiscal year for which an Excess Cash Flow Offer is required to be made, the Issuer will send a notice (or otherwise transmit in accordance with DTC’s applicable policies and procedures) to each Holder of Notes and the Trustee describing the Excess Cash Flow Offer and offering to purchase the Notes on the date (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment Date”) specified in the notice (which shall be a Business Day not earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is sent). If mailed in a manner herein provided, the notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not a Holder receives such notice.  In any case, failure to give notice or any defect in such notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of any other Note.  To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer is less than the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount, Notes to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon principal balance.
(c)    With respect to each Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Company shall be entitled to reduce the applicable Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount with respect thereto by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate repurchase price paid for any Notes theretofore repurchased by the Company in the open market or pursuant to tender offers (and cancelled by the Company) and (y) the aggregate redemption price paid for any Notes theretofore redeemed pursuant to one or more optional redemptions (other than (1) repurchases made pursuant to any Change of Control Offers, Asset Sale Offers, Excess Cash Flow Offers or required to be made pursuant to clause (D)(iii) of the definition of the term “Excess Cash Flow” or (2) any redemptions described in the second paragraph under “—Optional Redemption” above), in each case, during the period with respect to which such Excess Cash Flow was being computed.
(d)    On the Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
(a)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Excess Cash Flow Offer;
(b)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
(c)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.
(e)    The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each holder a new Note equal in aggregate principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The Company will publicly announce the results of the Excess Cash Flow Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Excess Cash Flow Offer Payment Date.  The provisions described above that require the Company to make an Excess Cash Flow Offer will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.22, the Company will not be required (but may elect to do so) to make an Excess Cash Flow Offer in accordance with this Section 4.22 unless the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount with respect to the applicable period in respect of which such Excess Cash Flow Offer is to be made exceeds $1.0 million (with lesser amounts being carried forward for purposes of determining whether the $1.0 million threshold has been met for any future period). Upon completion of each Excess Cash Flow Offer, the Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount will be reset at zero.
(g)    The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Excess Cash Flow Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.22, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.22 by virtue of such compliance.
(h)    To the extent that, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements or otherwise, it is determined that there was an error in good faith in the calculation by the Company of the Excess Cash Flow that resulted in less than the full Excess Cash Flow Offer Amount being used in an Excess Cash Flow Offer, no such shortfall will result in a Default or Event of Default; provided that within 30 calendar days of the Company’s confirmation of the error, the Company initiates an additional Excess Cash Flow Offer of such additional amount.

Section 4.23.    Further Assurances.
The Company and the Guarantors, at their sole cost and expense and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, will execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register, as applicable, any and all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, security agreements, account control agreements, assignments, financing statements and continuations thereof, termination statements, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates, assurances and other instruments (including, without limitation, landlord-lender agreements, bailee letters and appraisals in respect of any real property), consents, authorizations, approvals and orders, and shall take all further action, as may be required pursuant to the Collateral Documents from time to time in order to:

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

(1)    is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness aggregating $20.0 million or more prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or
(2)    results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $20.0 million or more;
(f)    failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $20.0 million to the extent not covered by insurance from an unaffiliated reputable and creditworthy insurance company (it being understood that even if such amounts are covered by insurance from such an insurance company, such amounts shall not be excluded in determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under this clause (f) if responsibility for such amounts has been denied by such insurance company or such insurance company has not been promptly notified of such amounts), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
(g)    the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, when taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(1)    is for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, when taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; or
(2)    appoints a receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, trustee or custodian of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, when taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of its Restricted Subsidiaries that, when taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

(j)    except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to any assets or property (other than any Relocated Asset, the relocation of which outside of the United States to a foreign jurisdiction was permitted under this Indenture) having a Fair Market Value in excess of $5.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, that constitutes, or under this Indenture or any Collateral Document is required to constitute, Collateral, (a) any of the Collateral Documents shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect, or the Company or any Guarantor shall so assert, or (b) any security interest created, or purported to be created, by any of the Collateral Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby, except solely as a result of the Collateral Agent taking any action in its sole control, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the failure of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents or to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements.

Section 6.02.    Acceleration.
In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without any further declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.  Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.
If any other Event of Default described in Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, and, subject to Section 7.05, the Trustee upon the request of Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, declare the principal of all the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, and premium, if any, to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a notice of acceleration, and the same will become immediately due and payable.

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

Section 6.04.    Waiver of Defaults.
The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder affected by such modification or amendment.  In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (e) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:
(1)    the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or
(2)    holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or
(3)    the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.
Upon any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, such Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed cured for every purpose of this Indenture but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05.    Control by Majority.
Subject to Section 7.01, Section 7.02(f) (including the Trustee’s receipt of the security or indemnification described therein), Section 7.05 and Section 7.07, in case an Event of Default will occur and be continuing, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will be given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.  The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06.    Limitation on Suits.
Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent hereunder, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture Documents at the request or direction of any Holder unless the Holders will have offered to the Trustee of the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, reasonable indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.  Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or any other Indenture Document unless:
(1)    such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(2)    Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to pursue the remedy;
(3)    Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;
(4)    the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(5)    Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60 day period.
The preceding limitations will not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for enforcement of payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, a Note on or after the respective due dates for such payments set forth in such Note.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.07.    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including Section 6.06), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08.    Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and Additional Interest, if any) and such further amount as will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee will be authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and will be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, will be denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a Lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, moneys, securities and any other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10.    Priorities.
If the Trustee or the Collateral Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it will pay out the money and property in the following order:
First: to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, its agents and attorneys for amounts due hereunder and under the Collateral Documents, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, respectively; and
Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction will direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

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

ARTICLE 7     
 
TRUSTEE

Section 7.01.    Duties of Trustee.
(a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.
(b)    Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(2)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.  However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).
(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

The Trustee shall not be liable for any claims by or on behalf of the Holders or any other person or entity arising from contamination of the property by any hazardous substance, hazardous material, pollutant or contaminant, and shall have no duty or obligation to assess the environmental condition of any such property or with respect to compliance of any such property under state or federal laws pertaining to the transport, storage, treatment or disposal of, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, pollutants, or contaminants or regulations, permits or licenses issued under such laws.
(n)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to effect or maintain insurance or to renew any policies of insurance or to inquire as to the sufficiency of any policies of insurance carried by the Company and Guarantors or any Guarantor, or to report, or make or file claims or proof of loss for, any loss or damage insured against or that may occur, or to keep itself informed or advised as to the payment of any taxes or assessments, or to require any such payment to be made.
(o)    The Trustee shall not be obligated to acquire possession of or take any action with respect to any property encumbered by a mortgage or deed of trust, if as a result of such action, the Trustee would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee in possession of”, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Responsibility Cleanup and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, unless the Trustee has previously determined, based upon a report prepared by a person who regularly conducts environmental audits, that (i) the such property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best interest of the Holders to take such actions as are necessary for such property to comply therewith and (ii) there are not circumstances present at such property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous wastes for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Holders to take such actions with respect to such property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, before taking any such action, the Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond or environmental impairment insurance be furnished to it for the payment or reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it against all liability resulting from any claims, judgments, damages, losses, fees, penalties or expenses which may result from such action.

Section 7.03.    Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as described in Section 310(b) of the TIA) it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign.  Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.  The Trustee will also be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

Section 7.04.    Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of the Offering Memorandum, this Indenture or the Notes or the other Indenture Documents, it will not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05.    Notice of Defaults.
If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders and the Collateral Agent a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.  In addition, the Trustee will have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06.    Reports by Trustee to Holders.
Within 60 days after each August 15 beginning with the August 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).  The Trustee also will comply with TIA §313(b)(2).  The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA §313(c).
A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders will be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d).  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07.    Compensation and Indemnity.
The Company will pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and the other Indenture Documents and services hereunder and thereunder.  The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company will reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.
The Company will indemnify the Trustee (or any predecessor Trustee) and the Collateral Agent (or any predecessor Collateral Agent), and each of their respective officers, directors and agents, against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees (for purposes of this Section, “losses”) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties as Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Indenture and the other Indenture Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture and the other Indenture Documents against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties as Trustee or Collateral Agent hereunder, except to the extent such losses may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.  The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 7.07, except to the extent the Company has been prejudiced thereby.  Upon the election of the Company, the Company will have the right to assume the defense of any third party claim, and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent may have separate counsel at its own expense, but if the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent has been reasonably advised by counsel that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest or may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent to engage separate counsel, then the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company have the right, without the related indemnified person’s consent, to settle any such claim if such settlement (i) arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit or proceeding, (ii) contains a stipulation to, confession of judgment with respect to, or admission or acknowledgement of, any liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent or such indemnified person, (iii) provides for injunctive relief, or other relief other than monetary damages, or (iv) does not contain an unconditional release of the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent and such indemnified person from all liability on all claims that are the subject matter of the related dispute or proceeding.  The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent through the Trustee’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.
The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and payment in full of the Notes through the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on particular Notes.  Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08.    Replacement of Trustee.
A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.
The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days’ prior notice to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:
(a)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;
(b)    the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(c)    a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(d)    the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders.  Subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof, the retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder will have been paid.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
In the case of an appointment hereunder of a separate or successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Notes will execute and deliver an Indenture supplemental hereto (1) which will contain such provisions as will be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring will continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that will add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as will be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture will constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such separate, retiring or successor Trustee will be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any such other Trustee.

Section 7.09.    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act will, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10.    Eligibility; Disqualification.
There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company, or of a bank holding company, the principal subsidiary of which is a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million) as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.
This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §310(a)(1), (2) and (5).  The Trustee is subject to TIA §310(b).

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

ARTICLE 8     
 
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01.    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Company may at any time, at its option, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article 8.

Section 8.02.    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”) and each Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations under its Note Guarantee.  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a)  the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8.  Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03.

Section 8.03.    Covenant Defeasance.
Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.07 (other than with respect to the Company) and 4.09 through 4.23, and 5.01(a)(4), with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”) and each Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations under its Note Guarantee with respect to such covenants in connection with such outstanding Notes and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby.  If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clauses (c) (solely with respect to covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), (d), (e), (f), (g) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, when taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), (h) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, when taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), (i) and (j) of Section 6.01 or because of the Company’s failure to comply with clause (4) of Section 5.01(a).

Section 8.04.    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.
The following will be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes.
The Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if:
(a)    the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company will specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date or to a particular redemption date; provided, however, that with respect to a redemption of all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over time, at any time prior to August 15, 2018 pursuant to paragraph 5(b) of the Notes and Section 3.07(b):
(i)    the amount of funds in trust that the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited will be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of deposit of such funds in trust; and
(ii)    at the time of deposit of such funds in trust, the funds in trust would be sufficient to pay and discharge the principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes on the applicable date of redemption with an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of deposit of such funds in trust; and
(iii)    the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional funds in trust, as necessary, on the applicable date of redemption, as required by Section 3.05, necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date;
(b)    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company will have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that: (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(c)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company will have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(d)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of any Lien to secure such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;
(e)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the Notes) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;
(f)    the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and
(g)    the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.05.    Deposited Cash and U.S. Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
Subject to Section 8.06, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06.    Repayment to Company.
The Trustee will promptly, and in any event, no later than five Business Days, pay to the Company after request therefor, any excess money held with respect to the Notes at such time (including pursuant to Article 11) in excess of amounts required to pay any of the Company’s Obligations then owing with respect to the Notes.
Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, has become due and payable will be paid to the Company on its request unless an abandoned property law designates another person or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder will thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment and if required by law, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

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

ARTICLE 9

(6)    make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(7)    make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes; or
(8)    make any change in Section 9.01 or 9.02.
In addition, any amendment to or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral or the Collateral Documents that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees will require the consent of the Holders of at least 66‐2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
Sections 2.08 and 2.09 shall determine which Notes are outstanding for purposes of this Section.  The Company may, but will not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver.  If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, will be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent will have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 120 days after such record date, any such consent previously given will automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.
It will not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.01 or this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to each Holder affected thereby to such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.03.    Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04.    Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.  However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective.  An amendment, supplement or waiver will become effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter will bind every Holder.

Section 9.05.    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee will authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06.    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee and the Collateral Agent will sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.  None of the Company nor any Guarantor may sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until its Board of Directors (or committee serving a similar function) approves it.  Subject to Section 13.04, in executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by the Indenture Documents and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company or applicable Guarantor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amendment, supplement or waiver complies with the provisions of the Indenture Documents (including Section 9.03 herein).

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.  Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to its Note Guarantee will be joint and several, unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.  Each Guarantor further, to the extent permitted by law, waives and relinquishes all claims, rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such claims, rights or remedies, including but not limited to: (a) any right to require any of the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each a “Benefited Party”), as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Obligations under the Note Guarantees or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Benefited Party in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Benefited Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations under the Note Guarantees or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations under the Note Guarantees; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Benefited Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations under the Note Guarantees, except behavior which amounts to gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; (e)(1) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of the Note Guarantees and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (2) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (3) any rights to set‐offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (4) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Benefited Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentations, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of the Note Guarantees, notices of Default under the Notes or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations under the Note Guarantees or any agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit to the Company and any right to consent to any thereof; (g) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of any “One Action” rule and (h) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Note Guarantees.  Except to the extent expressly provided herein, including Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 10.04, each Guarantor hereby covenants that its Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in its Note Guarantee and this Indenture.
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.  Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.  Any Guarantor that makes a payment in respect of its obligations under this Indenture or the Notes will have the right to seek contribution from any other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment in accordance with GAAP, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02.    Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
(a)    Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that each Guarantor’s liability will be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor under the Note Guarantee, but will be limited to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture or (b) the amount, if any, which would not have (1)    rendered the Guarantor “insolvent” (as such term is defined in the Federal Bankruptcy Code and in the Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York) or (2) left it with unreasonably small capital at the time its Note Guarantee was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing Indebtedness immediately before such time; provided, however, it will be a presumption in any lawsuit or proceeding in which a Guarantor is a party that the amount guaranteed pursuant to the Note Guarantee is the amount described in clause (a) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of the Guarantor, or debtor in possession or Trustee in bankruptcy of the Guarantor, otherwise proves in a lawsuit that the aggregate liability of the Guarantor is limited to the amount described in clause (b).
(b)    In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Guarantor in accordance with the proviso of Section 10.02(a), the right of each Guarantor to contribution from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, will be taken into account.

Section 10.03.    Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture will be entered into on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note. the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
The Company hereby agrees that it will cause each Person that becomes obligated to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.20 hereof to execute a supplemental indenture in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit E, pursuant to which such Person provides the Note Guarantee set forth in this Article 10 and otherwise assumes the obligations and accepts the rights of a Guarantor under this Indenture, in each case with the same effect and to the same extent as if such Person had been named herein as a Guarantor.

Section 10.04.    Releases.
(a)    The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released:
(1)    in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.12;
(2)    in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.12;
(3)    if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or
(4)    upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided by Section 8.02, 8.03 or 11.01, respectively.
(b)    Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.04 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

Section 12.08.    The Collateral Agent.

The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.08.  Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b)    The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon, any advice or opinion given by legal counsel.  The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care.
(c)    None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company and Guarantors or any other Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  None of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.
(d)    The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company and Guarantors or any other Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document.  The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.
(e)    The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company and Guarantors referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.08), subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents.
(f)    The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Company and Guarantors (or removed by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes), such resignation (or removal) to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent.  If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Company and Guarantors shall appoint a successor collateral agent.  If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation, which date shall not be earlier than 10 Business Days following the date on which such notice is delivered to the Company and Guarantors), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Company and Guarantors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing payment or bankruptcy Event of Default).  If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Company and Guarantors pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor (at the expense of the Company).  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated.  After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.08 (and Section 7.07) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.
(g)    Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(h)    The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Collateral Documents and Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.
(i)    If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.
(j)    The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession.  Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Company and Guarantors, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.
(k)    Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreement other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents.
(l)    If the Company and Guarantors or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations that will constitute ABL Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting ABL Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the ABL Obligations so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Company and Guarantors, including legal fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder; provided that neither an Officer’s Certificate nor an Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the applicable Intercreditor Agreement to be entered into by the Collateral Agent on the Issue Date.
(m)    No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances.  The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company and Guarantors or the Holders to be sufficient.  The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the protections specified in clauses (m), (n) and (o) of Section 7.02.
(n)    The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.
(o)    In no event shall the Trustee or Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit), irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
(p)    The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Collateral Documents.  The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.
(q)    The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto.  Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.  In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Company and Guarantors, the Company, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment.  If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Company and Guarantors or the Guarantors, subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, a majority in interest of Holders shall direct the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.
(r)    Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company and Guarantors signed by an Officer (a “Collateral Document Order”) pursuant to clause (9) or (11) of Section 9.01, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral Document to be executed after the Issue Date.  Such Collateral Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Collateral Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.08(r), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document; provided that in no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to enter into a Collateral Document that it determines adversely affects the Collateral Agent in a commercially unreasonable manner (taking into account other Collateral Documents it has recently agreed to in similar secured notes transactions).  Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and reasonable expense of the Company and Guarantors, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied.  The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.
(s)    After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement (though the foregoing shall not restrict the Holders’ ability to provide directions directly to the Collateral Agent).
(t)    The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture.
(u)    In each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Collateral Document or any Intercreditor Agreement to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Collateral Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.  The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.  If the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Collateral Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any Uniform Commercial Code financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.
(w)    Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Company and Guarantors or the Guarantors, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 13.05.  The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.
(x)    The Collateral Agent, in executing and performing its duties under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it hereunder and under the Collateral Documents.
(y)    In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute and deliver any landlord lien waiver, estoppel or collateral access letter, or any account control agreement or any instruction or direction letter delivered in connection with such document that the Collateral Agent determines adversely affects it or otherwise subjects it to personal liability, including without limitation agreements to indemnify any contractual counterparty.

Section 12.09.    Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents.
The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties distributed under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture.

Section 12.10.    Intercreditor Agreement.
(a)    The Collateral Agent is authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement or subordination agreement explicitly contemplated hereby with respect to Indebtedness that is (i) permitted to be incurred hereunder and (ii) (A) required or permitted to be subordinated hereunder and/or (B) secured by Liens and which Indebtedness contemplates an intercreditor, subordination or collateral trust agreement (any such other Intercreditor agreement, an “Additional Agreement”), in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the parties hereto acknowledge that the Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional Agreement is binding upon them. Each of the Trustee and each Holder, by accepting its Note, (1) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees that this Article 12, the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents are subject to the terms, limitations and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, (2) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Agreement and (3) hereby authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement or any Additional Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof. 
(b)    Prior to its entry into any Additional Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions set forth in the first sentence of clause (a) above with respect to such Additional Agreement have been satisfied.

The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest will accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date will be February 15, 2017.  Additional Interest, if any, shall accrue from such date(s) as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate equal to the then applicable rate on the Notes, and it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace periods), from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful.  Interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2.    Method of Payment.  The Company will pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company.  Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note is inconsistent with or conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture will govern and be controlling.

(2)    the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such sale of Equity Interests. 
(d)    In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described in Section 4.17 of the Indenture) purchase all of the Notes held by such Holders in accordance with Section 4.17 of the Indenture, the Company will have the right, after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Indenture upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described in Section 4.17 of the Indenture, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes that remain outstanding, to the date of redemption, subject to the rights of holders of the Notes on the relevant regular record date to receive interest and Additional Interest, if any, due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the applicable redemption date.

6.    Mandatory Redemption.  The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.  However, under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to offer to purchase Notes as set forth in Sections 3.09, 4.12, 4.17 and 4.22 of the Indenture.
7.    Repurchase at the Option of Holders.
(a)    If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, as and to the extent required by Section 4.17 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest and Additional Interest, if any, due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.  Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes and the Company (or the applicable agent for such pari passu indebtedness) shall select such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis.  Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.
8.    Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.
9.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.  Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(iv)    without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except as specified below or under the UCC), sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such commercially reasonable terms;
(v)    appoint by instrument in writing a receiver (which term as used in this Security Agreement includes a receiver and manager) or agent of all or any part of the Collateral and remove or replace from time to time any receiver or agent;
(vi)    institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of all or part of the Collateral; and
(vii)    carry on all or part of the business of any Grantor and, to the exclusion of all others including the Grantors, enter upon, occupy and use all or any of

the premises, buildings, and other property of or used by any Grantor for such time as the Collateral Agent sees fit, free of charge, and the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties are not liable to the Grantor for any act, omission or negligence in so doing or for any rent, charges, depreciation or damages incurred in connection with or resulting from such action.

(b)    The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.  Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by law, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.  Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities.  Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c)    The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(d)    The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	42
	 

(e)    Any receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent is vested with the rights and remedies which could have been exercised by the Collateral Agent in respect of any Grantor or the Collateral and such other powers and discretions as are granted in the instrument of appointment and any supplemental instruments.  The identity of the receiver, its replacement and its remuneration are within the sole and unfettered discretion of the Collateral Agent.
(f)    Any receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent will act as agent for the Collateral Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but otherwise and for all other purposes (except as provided below), as agent for the Grantors.  The receiver may sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of Collateral as agent for the Grantors or as agent for the Collateral Agent as the Collateral Agent may determine in its discretion.  The Grantors agree to ratify and confirm all actions of the receiver as agent for the Grantors, and to release and indemnify the receiver in respect of all such actions. 
(g)    The Collateral Agent, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver, does not incur liability to the receiver, the Grantors or otherwise and is not responsible for any misconduct or negligence of such receiver.
Application of Proceeds.  Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Security Agreement, and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be turned over by the Collateral Agent to the Trustee to be applied by the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.
Sales on Credit.  If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantors will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the Grantors.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantors shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
Deposit Accounts.  If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.
Investment Related Property.  Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made 

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	43
	 

in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.  If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
Intellectual Property.  (a)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(i)    the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property or License, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 11 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property or License as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing, misappropriating, diluting or violating as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or violation;
(ii)    each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to execute, deliver and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers in order to effect an absolute assignment of all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property;
(iii)    each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property;

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	44
	 

(iv)    within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with Trademarks owned by such Grantor or Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and
(v)    the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
		
	(1)
	all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7; and

		
	(2)
	no Grantor shall adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

(b)    If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, and (v) the Collateral Agent has not assigned, transferred, or conveyed such rights pursuant to Section 7.1, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s 

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	45
	 

security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties.
(c)    Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to reasonable quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.
Cash Proceeds.  In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 4.3 with respect to payments of Receivables, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other non-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.4.1(a)(ii), be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.
		
	SECTION 8.
	COLLATERAL AGENT.

The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Grantors and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties.  The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral) solely in accordance with this Security Agreement, the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section.  After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal as the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 12.08(f) of the Indenture, the provisions of this Security Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions 

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	46
	 

taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Security Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder. 
The Collateral Agent, in executing and performing its duties under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it under the Indenture and hereunder.
		
	SECTION 9.
	CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; RELEASES.

This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns.  Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, promptly execute and deliver to the Grantors all UCC termination statements and/or such other documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. This Security Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date and the Liens granted herein shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor; provided that if any Grantor incurs any Pari Passu Indebtedness this Security Agreement shall not terminate with respect to the Liens securing such Pari Passu Indebtedness until the Discharge of Term Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).  The Grantors shall also be entitled to release of Liens on Collateral as provided in Section 12.04 and Section 12.05 of the Indenture and, if applicable, any comparable provisions in the Pari Passu Lien Documents.
		
	SECTION 10.
	STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.

The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.  The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise.  If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 7.07 of the Indenture.
		
	SECTION 11.
	INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	47
	 

(a)    Without in any way limiting the terms of the Indenture, each Grantor agrees to indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its officers, partners, directors, trustees, investment advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not the Collateral Agent shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in enforcing this indemnity) which the Collateral Agent or its officers, partners, directors, trustees, investment advisors, employees, agents or Affiliates may incur in connection with this Security Agreement (including, without limitation, the enforcement of this Security Agreement), except liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such indemnified party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11(a) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are in violation of any law or public policy, the applicable Grantor shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Indenture.
(b)    Each Grantor will, upon demand, pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel, advisors, and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Security Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the breach by any Grantor of the provisions hereof.
		
	SECTION 12.
	MISCELLANEOUS.

Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 13.02 of the Indenture.  No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Indenture Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under this Security Agreement and the other Indenture Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.  In case any provision in or obligation under this Security Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within 

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	48
	 

the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.  This Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Grantors and their respective successors and assigns.  No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Indenture, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.  This Security Agreement and the other Indenture Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  Accordingly, the Indenture Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.  There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.  This Security Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAWS.
		
	SECTION 13.
	INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement or any other Indenture Document and the exercise of any of the relative rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be subject to, and governed by the terms and conditions of, the Intercreditor Agreement at any time the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions hereof and the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control at any time the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement or the other Indenture Documents, but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement in all respects, until the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement): (i) any covenant hereunder or under the Indenture requiring (or any representation or warranty hereunder or under the Indenture to the extent it would have the effect of requiring) the delivery and/or arrangement for possession of Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral or delivery and/or arrangement for control of any certificated securities that constitute ABL Priority Collateral to or with the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied or complied with (or in the case of any representation or warranty, shall be deemed to be true and correct) if such delivery and/or arrangement for possession of Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral is made to, or such control of certificated securities is with the ABL Agent pursuant to the ABL Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement); (ii) any covenant hereunder or under the Indenture requiring (or any representation or warranty hereunder or under the 

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	49
	 

Indenture to the extent it would have the effect of requiring) the payment or other transfer of Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been satisfied (or, in the case of any representation or warranty, shall be deemed to be true and correct) if such payment or transfer shall have been made to the ABL Agent; (iii) any covenant hereunder or under the Indenture requiring (or any representation or warranty hereunder or under the Indenture to the extent it would have the effect of requiring) the endorsement of any Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral or related document to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been satisfied (or, in the case of any representation or warranty, shall be deemed to be true and correct) if such endorsement shall have been made to the ABL Agent; and (iv) any covenant requiring that a Grantor receive and/or hold any Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that such Grantor receives or holds (as applicable) such Collateral in trust for the benefit of the ABL Agent and the Collateral Agent.
		
	SECTION 14.
	PARI PASSU INDEBTEDNESS.

(a)    If any Grantor incurs any Pari Passu Indebtedness, an authorized representative of the holders of such Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations shall enter into an Accession Agreement, and thereafter the relationship between the Holders of the Notes and holders of the Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations will be governed by this Security Agreement.  Such Grantor shall provide a written instruction in an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Agent to execute the Accession Agreement.
(b)    Each of the Secured Parties agrees that:
(i)    notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations, the Liens securing all such Indebtedness shall be of equal priority; and
(ii)    the obligations in respect of the Notes and the Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations may be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, refunded, refinanced or otherwise amended from time to time, in each case, to the extent permitted by the Indenture Documents and the Pari Passu Payment Lien Documents.
(c)    The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the holders of any Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations not issued under the Indenture or pursuant to which the Collateral Agent is the Trustee as agreed between the Trustee and the Company in writing, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability to any such holders of Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations, regarding the adequacy of any proceeds of the Collateral or for any action or omission, except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by such party under the terms of this Security Agreement.
(d)    Subject to the automatic release provisions of the Indenture Documents and the Pari Passu Payment Lien Documents, the Collateral Agent shall act in relation to the 

	
			
	Americas 91413044
	50
	 

Collateral in accordance with the written direction of the majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any (the “Instructing Group”), provided, however, any Notes or Pari Passu Indebtedness held by a Grantor or an Affiliate of any Grantor shall be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of determining the Instructing Group except that in determining whether the Collateral Agent shall be protected in relying upon any such direction, only Notes or Pari Passu Indebtedness that the Collateral Agent actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Security Agreement to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent, or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction, reasonable satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood in all cases that the Collateral Agent shall (subject to its rights and protections under the Indenture Documents, including its right to seek indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it) be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Security Agreement if it shall not have received the written direction of the Trustee and applicable representative of Pari Passu Indebtedness acting in accordance with the written direction of the Instructing Group as it deems appropriate.
(e)    As between the Holders of the Notes and the holders of Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations, only the Instructing Group shall have the right to direct the Collateral Agent in conducting foreclosures and in taking other actions with respect to the Collateral, and the authorized agents, trustees or other representatives of other Indebtedness have no right to take actions with respect to the Collateral.  The Instructing Group shall have the sole right to instruct the Collateral Agent to act or refrain from acting with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Collateral from any other Person.  No authorized representative of any Indebtedness (other than the Instructing Group) will instruct the Collateral Agent to commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its interests in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, the Collateral. Neither the Instructing Group nor the Collateral Agent may undertake any action with respect to Collateral to the extent such action will be inconsistent with the Intercreditor Agreement.
