Payment of interest may be made 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 and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which hold at least $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes and shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent for an account in the continental U.S.  Such payment shall 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.

(b) At any time prior to April 15, 2018 the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of the redemption date, and, without duplication, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.  

(c) Until April 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option, upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Indenture, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued by them at a redemption price equal to 106.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; provided further that each such redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.  Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to such Equity Offering, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to completion of the related Equity Offering.  

(d) On and after April 15, 2018, the Issuers may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice as described in Section 3.03 of the Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of each of the years indicated below:

(e) In the event Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as described above) purchases all of the Notes tendered by such Holders, the Issuers (or any such third party) will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to such Change of Control Offer, to redeem all of such Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

6.  MANDATORY REDEMPTION.  The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.  

7.  NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.  Subject to Section 3.03 of the Indenture, notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date (except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 12 of the Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption subject to satisfaction of any conditions specified therein. 

8.  OFFERS TO REPURCHASE.  

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Issuers shall 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 each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).  The Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture.  

(b) If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale, within fifteen (15) Business Days of each date that Excess Proceeds exceed $75.0 million, the Issuers shall commence an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess 

 

 

Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for or permitted by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.  To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in the Indenture.  If the aggregate amount of Notes and the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased (a) if the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, are listed, (b) on a pro rata basis based on the amount (determined as set forth above) of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered or (c) by lot or such similar method in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company; provided that no notes of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part.  Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.  

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 to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of the Notes.  Holders shall pay all taxes due on transfer.  The Issuers are not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.  Also, the Issuers are not required to issue, transfer or exchange any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed.  

10.  PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.  

11.  AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.  

12.  DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture.  If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then 

 

 

outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder.  The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuers are required within ten (10) Business Days after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuers propose to take with respect thereto.  

13.  AUTHENTICATION.  This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.

14.  COLLATERAL.  The Notes are secured by a security interest in the Collateral, subject to the terms of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreement, subject to release or termination as provided in the Indenture and the Security Documents. 

15.  GOVERNING LAW.  THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES.  

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

The Issuers will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.  Requests may be made to the Issuers at the following address:
