OWENS & MINOR, INC.
2021 PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS 2021 PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated as of __________, 2021 between Owens & Minor, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and __________ (“Participant”) is made pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the Company's 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”).  All capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan.

1.            Grant of Performance Stock Unit Award.  In accordance with the Plan, on __________ (the “Date of Grant”), the Company granted to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, ____________  shares of performance-based stock units (“PSUs”) as more particularly described herein and subject to the requirements of Section 2.  The Participant will earn the PSUs to the extent that the requirements of Section 2 are satisfied.  The Company will issue shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement in settlement of the PSUs, if any, that the Participant earns in accordance with Section 2, which shares of Common Stock  then will be further subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions described in Section 4 (except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 3(b)). Upon satisfaction of the vesting provisions of Section 4, all restrictions applicable to the earned PSUs shall lapse.

2.            Earning PSUs.  Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Section 2 determines the number of PSUs that the Participant may earn under this Agreement.  

(a)          (i)            Step No. 1.  Determine the Aggregate Adjusted EPS achieved for the Performance Period. 

(ii)           Step No. 2.  Determine the Aggregate Adjusted EPS Payout Percentage achieved for the Performance Period from the chart below that correlates to the Aggregate Adjusted EPS actually achieved.  For purposes of determining the level of achievement and/or the Aggregate Adjusted EPS Payout Performance, if Aggregate Adjusted EPS is achieved at a level between Threshold and Target or between Target and Maximum, as the case may be, the level of performance will be determined based on a straight-line interpolation of the achievement levels and/or Aggregate Adjusted EPS Payout Percentages between Threshold and Target and Target and Maximum, as applicable (rounded down to the nearest hundredth of a percent).  If Aggregate Adjusted EPS is achieved at Threshold or below, the Aggregate Adjusted EPS Payout Percentage shall be zero percent (0%).  If Aggregate Adjusted EPS is achieved at Maximum or greater, the Aggregate Adjusted EPS Payout Percentage shall be two hundred percent (200%).

(iii)          Step 3.  Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the number of PSUs earned by the Participant shall be the Target Shares multiplied by the Aggregate Adjusted EPS Payout Percentage determined in Step 2 above.  

“Adjusted EPS” shall mean that term (also referred to as Adjusted Earnings Per Share) as presented in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations (unaudited) attached to the press release furnished under Item 2.02 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to Securities Exchange Commission in connection with reporting the Company's full year adjusted earnings for a fiscal year, adjusted further as approved by the Board of Directors and/or the Committee, to eliminate or exclude the effects of unusual or non-recurring items, including but not limited to, the effect of accounting changes;  tangible and intangible asset impairment charges; fees, expenses and charges associated with debt and/or equity financing transactions, merger and acquisition activity (including the purchase or sale of a business unit or its assets and any post transaction-related claims, litigation or settlement charges); exit and realignment activities; gains/losses from asset sales not made in the ordinary course of business; regulatory or law changes; retirement plan gains/losses; gains/losses or charges associated with material litigation, regulatory, tax or insurance settlements; pandemics, natural disaster or similar events; and fluctuations in commodity prices or currency exchange rates.  

“Aggregate Adjusted EPS” shall mean the sum of (i) the Adjusted EPS for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 plus (ii) the Adjusted EPS for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

“Performance Period” means fiscal years 2021 and 2022.

“Target Shares” means the number of PSUs set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement, as may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 10.  

(b)          Effect of Termination Prior to Determination of Earned PSUs.  Except as provided in subparagraphs (c), (d) and (e), no PSUs will be earned if the Participant’s employment with, and service to, the Company and its Affiliates terminates or is terminated for any reason before the later to occur of (i) January 1, 2023, (ii) the date the earned PSUs  are certified by the Committee as provided in Section 3(b), or (iii) if the Committee has not certified the number of earned PSUs as required by Section 3(b), then March 15, 2023 (such later date to occur being referred to as the “Measurement Date”).

(c)           Death or Disability.  This subparagraph (c) applies if the Participant’s employment with, and service to, the Company and its Affiliates terminates before the Measurement Date, on account of the Participant’s death or permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code).  In the event of the Participant’s death prior to the Measurement Date, the number of PSUs earned by the Participant shall equal the number determined in accordance with subparagraph (a).  In the event the Participant’s employment terminates before the Measurement Date due to permanent and total disability, the number of PSUs earned by the Participant shall equal the number determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) multiplied by a fraction.  The numerator of the fraction shall be the number of whole months that the Participant was employed by, or providing services to, the Company or an Affiliate during the 36-month period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023 (including any period that the Participant was absent from work for illness, injury or short term disability, with Company or Affiliate approval, prior to termination of employment) and the denominator shall be 36.

(d)          Retirement.  This subparagraph (d) applies if the Participant’s employment with, and service to, the Company and its Affiliates terminates before the Measurement Date on account of the Participant’s retirement (defined below).  In the event of the Participant’s retirement before the Measurement Date, the number of PSUs earned by the Participant shall equal the number determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) multiplied by a fraction.  The numerator of the fraction shall be the number of whole months that the Participant was employed by, or providing services to, the Company or an Affiliate during the 36-month period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023 and the denominator shall be 36.  For purposes of this Agreement, retirement means severance from the employment of the Company (i) at or after the attainment of age 55 and after completing that number of years of service with the Company that, when added to Participant’s age at the time of severance from employment, equals at least 65 or (ii) at or after the attainment of age 65.

(e)          Change in Control.  The Participant will earn the number of PSUs equal to Target Shares if there is a Change in Control before the Committee has certified the number of earned PSUs as required by Section 3(b).

3.            Settlement of PSUs.  The PSUs will be settled in accordance with this Section 3.

(a)          Administration of Award. The Committee shall administer this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  This Agreement is intended to comply both by its terms and in its operation with the applicable provisions of the Code in order to make it as tax-efficient for the Company as possible.  

(b)          Committee Certification.  As soon as practicable after December 31, 2022 (but no later than March 15, 2023), the Committee will determine the Aggregate Adjusted EPS Payout Percentage and resulting number of PSUs that are earned under the provisions of Section 2.  The Committee’s determination shall be set forth in writing, as part of the minutes of a meeting of the Committee, by unanimous consent or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, a written determination of the Committee shall not be required in the case of PSUs that are earned pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(e).

(c)           Earned PSUs.  As soon as practicable after the Committee’s certification under subparagraph (b) (but no later than March 15, 2023), the PSUs will be adjusted to reflect the number of PSUs  earned by the Participant.  The earned PSUs will be held in the Participant’s PSU account until the Additional Vesting Period has elapsed.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, (i) if the PSUs are earned pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(c) or 2(d), such PSUs shall be settled in shares of Common Stock that are not subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4 and (ii) if the PSUs are earned pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(e), the number of shares of such PSUs to be issued under Section 2(e) shall be settled in shares of Common Stock that are not subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4 and shall be issued to the Participant on the Control Change Date.

4.            Terms of Earned PSUs.  The earned PSUs are subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)          Additional Vesting Period.  Until March 15, 2024 (the “Additional Vesting Period”) or the lapse of restrictions as provided in subparagraph (c) hereof, the earned PSUs shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(i)            Participant shall not be entitled to receive the Common Stock evidencing the earned PSUs; 

(ii)           Earned PSUs may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, conveyed, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; and  

(iii)          Earned PSUs may be forfeited immediately as provided in subparagraph (c) hereof.

(b)          Distribution of Earned PSUs.  If Participant remains in the continuous employment of the Company or an Affiliate during the entire Additional Vesting Period and otherwise does not forfeit such shares pursuant to subparagraph (c) hereof, all restrictions applicable to the earned PSUs shall lapse upon expiration of the Additional Vesting Period and  shares of Common Stock representing the earned PSUs shall be delivered to Participant.

(c)           Lapse of Restrictions or Forfeiture.

(i)            Death.  If Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated before the expiration of the Additional Vesting Period by reason of Participant’s death, all restrictions applicable to the earned PSUs shall immediately lapse on the date of Participant’s death and the  shares of Common Stock representing the earned PSUs shall be delivered to Participant’s estate.  

(ii)           Disability.  If Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated before the expiration of the Additional Vesting Period by reason of total and permanent disability, restrictions on a pro rata number of shares of earned PSUs shall lapse.  The “pro rata number” shall be the number of earned PSUs  multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months that the Participant was employed by, or providing services to, the Company or an Affiliate during the 36-month period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023 (including any period that the Participant was absent from work for illness, injury or short term disability, with Company or Affiliate approval, prior to termination of employment) and the denominator shall be 36.  The  shares of Common Stock representing the earned PSUs  upon which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered to Participant.

(iii)          Retirement.  Once Participant is eligible to terminate employment by reason of retirement before the expiration of the Additional Vesting Period, all restrictions on a pro rata number of earned PSUs  shall lapse.  The “pro rata number” shall be the number of earned PSUs  multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months that the Participant was employed by, or providing services to, the Company or an Affiliate during the 36-month period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023 and the denominator shall be 36.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant’s service to the Company or an Affiliate continues from and after becoming eligible to retire or the date of retirement through (i) membership on the Board, (ii) a written consulting services arrangement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) at the Company’s discretion, a written restrictive covenant agreement with the Company (“Post-Retirement Service”), earned PSUs  shall not be forfeited but shall continue to be held by the Company and become vested until the earlier of (A) the end of the Additional Vesting Period at which time such earned PSUs shall be delivered to the Participant or (B) the date Participant ceases to provide Post-Retirement Service, as described above.

(iv)          Termination of Employment by Company or Affiliate (other than as described in (vi) below).

1.    With Cause.  If the Company or an Affiliate terminates Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates with “cause,” after the Measurement Period but before the expiration of the Additional Vesting Period, all earned PSUs  shall be forfeited immediately and all rights of Participant to such shares shall terminate immediately without further obligation on the part of the Company.  For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” means: (i) misappropriation, theft or embezzlement of funds or property from the Company or an Affiliate or securing or attempting to secure personally any profit in connection with any transaction entered into on behalf of the Company or an Affiliate, (ii) conviction of, or entry of a plea of “nolo contendere” with respect to, a felony which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, is likely to cause material harm to the Company’s or an Affiliate’s business, customer or supplier relations, financial condition or prospects, (iii) violation of the Company’s Code of Honor or any successor code of conduct; or (iv) failure to substantially perform (other than by reason of illness or temporary disability, regardless of whether such temporary disability is or becomes a total and permanent disability (as defined in subparagraph 4(c)(ii) above), or by reason of approved leave of absence) the duties of Participant’s job.

2.    Without Cause.  If Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without “cause,” after the Measurement Period but before the expiration of the Additional Vesting Period all restrictions on a pro rata number of earned PSUs shall lapse.  The “pro rata number” shall be the number of earned PSUs  multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months that the Participant was employed by, or providing services to, the Company or 

an Affiliate during the 36-month period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023 (and the denominator shall be 36).

(v)           Termination of Employment by Participant.  If Participant resigns from employment with the Company and its Affiliates before the expiration of the Additional Vesting Period, without regard to the reason for such resignation (other than death, disability or Retirement as provided in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above), all of the earned PSUs shall be forfeited immediately and all rights of Participant to such shares shall terminate immediately without further obligation on the part of the Company.

(vi)          Change in Control.

1.    If, upon a Change in Control, (i) the earned PSUs  are assumed by, or a substitute award granted by, the surviving entity (together with its Related Entities, the “Surviving Entity”) in the Change in Control (such assumed or substituted award to be of the same type of award as the earned PSUs  with a value as of the Control Change Date substantially equal to the value of the earned PSUs) and (ii) within 24 months of the Control Change Date, Participant’s employment with the Surviving Entity is terminated by the Surviving Entity without Cause (defined below) or by Participant for Good Reason (defined below), all restrictions applicable to the earned PSUs shall immediately lapse on the date of employment termination and the shares of Common Stock evidencing the earned PSUs upon which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered to Participant.

2.    For purposes of this subsection 4(c)(vi), “Cause” shall mean (i) the willful and continued failure by Participant to substantially perform his or her duties with the Surviving Entity (other than any such failure resulting from Participant’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Participant by the Surviving Entity, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Surviving Entity believes that Participant has not substantially performed his or her duties, or (ii) the willful engaging by Participant in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Surviving Entity, monetarily or otherwise.  For purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act, on Participant’s part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interest of the Surviving Entity.

3.    For purposes of this subparagraph 4(c)(vi), “Good Reason” shall apply only if there is a meaning given to such term in the Executive Severance Agreement or Executive Change in Control Severance Agreement, as the case may be, between Participant and the Company, as such agreement from time to time may be amended, modified, extended or replaced by a successor agreement or plan.

4.    If, upon a Change in Control, the earned PSUs  are not assumed by, or a substitute award granted by, the Surviving Entity in the Change in Control as provided in subparagraph 4(c)(vi)(a) above, all restrictions applicable to the earned PSUs shall immediately lapse on the Control Change Date and the shares of Common Stock evidencing the earned PSUs upon which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered to Participant.

5.            Recoupment Policy.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the PSUs and any dividends related to either granted under this Agreement are subject to recoupment by the Company in accordance with the Company’s Policy on Recoupment of Executive Incentive Compensation in effect on the date of this Agreement, as such policy is interpreted and applied by the Company’s Board of Directors.

6.            Acceptance of Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in order for the Award to become effective, the Participant must acknowledge acceptance of this Agreement no later than sixty (60) days following the date of grant.  If the Agreement is not accepted within 60 days, the entire Award will be forfeited and cancelled without any consideration thereof, except as otherwise determined in the Committee’s sole and absolute discretion.

7.            Nontransferability.  The PSUs are nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  

8.            Shareholder Rights; Dividends.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Participant shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the PSUs.  Upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock  in settlement of the earned PSUs, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to those shares, including the right to vote the shares; provided, that the right to receive dividends shall be controlled by Section 15 hereof.  Stock received as a dividend on, or in connection with a stock split of any shares of Common Stock issued in settlement of the earned PSUs shall be subject to the same vesting restrictions as the earned PSUs.  The Participant’s right to receive any extraordinary dividends or distributions with respect to earned PSUs  shall be at the sole discretion of the Committee, but in the event of any such extraordinary event, the Committee shall take action appropriate to preserve the value of, and to prevent the unintended enhancement of value in, such earned PSUs.

9.            Withholding.  The Participant shall pay the Company any amount of taxes as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy tax withholding required under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, capital gains taxes, transfer taxes, and social security contributions.  In lieu thereof, the Company shall have the right to retain, from the earned PSUs, the number of earned PSUs  with Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.  In any event, the Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid to a Participant in cash (whether under the Plan or otherwise) any taxes required to be withheld.

10.         No Right to Continued Employment.  The award and settlement of the PSUs does not give Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate his or her employment at any time.

11.         Change in Capital Structure.  The number of PSUs and the performance criteria in Section 2 (or, after any settlement of the PSUs) shall be adjusted as the Committee determines is equitably required in the event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-ups subdivisions or consolidations of shares, other similar changes in capitalization or such other events as are described in the Plan.

12.         Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

13.         Conflicts.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan as in effect on the Date of Grant and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.  All references herein to the Plan shall mean the plan as in effect on the Date of Grant.

14.         Participant Bound by Plan.  Participant hereby acknowledges that a copy of the Plan has been made available to him or her and he or she agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Plan.

15.         Binding Effect.  Subject to the limitations stated above and in the Plan, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her successors in interest and the successors of the Company.

16.         Dividend Equivalents.  Any dividends that would have been paid on any earned PSUs prior to settlement if the earned PSUs had been actual shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period from the Date of Grant through the date of issuance of the Common Stock upon settlement of the PSUs shall be accumulated without interest by the Company and paid to Participant at settlement.  No dividends will be paid on the PSUs if the PSUs were not earned and issued hereunder.  

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

In the event that Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio is made (the “Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom) as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.
For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations and consolidations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case, with respect to a business, a company, a segment, an operating division or unit or line of business that Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has determined to make and/or made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis in accordance with GAAP (except  as set forth in the following paragraph) assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations and consolidations (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation and consolidation, in each case with respect to a business, a company, a segment, an operating division or unit or line of business that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio shall be calculated giving Pro Forma Effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger and consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.
For purposes of this definition, whenever Pro Forma Effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Holdings and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate (and may include, for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, operating expense reductions and other operating improvements, cost savings or synergies reasonably anticipated to be realizable after the date of any such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations and consolidations, to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to such four-quarter period). 
7

For the purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency  other  than U.S. dollars  will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination determined in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.
 “Contingent Obligations” means, with respect to any Person, any obligation of such Person guaranteeing any leases, dividends or other obligations that do not constitute Indebtedness (“primary obligations”) of any other Person (the “primary obligor”) in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, any obligation of such Person, whether or not contingent:
(1)    to purchase any such primary obligation or any property constituting direct or indirect security therefor,
(2)    to advance or supply funds:
(a)    for the purchase or payment of any such primary obligation, or
(b)    to maintain working capital or equity capital of the primary obligor or otherwise to maintain the net worth or solvency of the primary obligor, or
(3)    to purchase property, securities or services primarily for the purpose of assuring the owner of any such primary obligation of the ability of the primary obligor to make payment of such primary obligation against loss in respect thereof.

“Converted Unrestricted Subsidiary” has the meaning provided in the definition of the term “EBITDA”.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.  Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute proof of the authority of the Person executing the same.  The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.
The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee or the Issuers in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.
The Issuers may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or take any other act, or to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders.  Unless otherwise specified, if not set by the Issuers prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, any such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation.
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.  Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including DTC, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and DTC may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through the Applicable Procedures and its other standing instructions and customary practices.
29

The Issuers may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by DTC entitled under the Applicable Procedures to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders.  If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date.  No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of 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 applicable, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.  Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee as Custodian, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06.
c.Terms.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D hereto, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuers pursuant to a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14.  The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article III.
Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes (“Additional Notes”) may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuers without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, waivers, amendments, redemptions, offers to purchase and otherwise as the Initial Notes; provided that Additional Notes shall not be issued with the same CUSIP or ISIN, if any, as the Initial Notes unless such Additional Notes are fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Section 2.02    Execution and Authentication.  At least one Officer of each of the Issuers shall execute the Notes by manual, facsimile, PDF attachment or other electronically transmitted signature.
30

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.
A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto by the manual signature of the Trustee.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.
On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuers Order (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes.  In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder.  In connection with authenticating such Additional Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel stating that such Additional Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuers, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to customary carve-outs and assumptions.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes.  An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuers.
Section 2.03    Registrar and Paying Agent.  The Issuers shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange.  The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar.  The Issuers shall maintain a registrar in the United States.  The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents.  The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent and (ii) the Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.  The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.  The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.  The Issuers or any of their respective Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
The Issuers initially appoint DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.
Section 2.04    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  The Issuers shall require the Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall 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 on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuers or one of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for the money.  If the Issuers or one of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.  Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
Section 2.05    Holder Lists.  The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

b.When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of Holdings or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Issuers shall promptly (which shall be no more than ten Business Days after becoming aware of any Default) deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default, its status and what actions the Issuers are taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Issuers and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall 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 Issuers and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.10    [Reserved].  
Section 4.11    [Reserved].  
Section 4.12    Liens.  
a.Holdings will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary, unless:
48

1.in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or
2.in all other cases, the Notes or the related Guarantees are equally and ratably secured.
b.The documentation for any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall provide that such Lien shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the applicable Lien described in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.12(a).
c.For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a), Holdings may, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien (or any portion thereof) in one of the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) and, in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) will be treated as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) without giving Pro Forma Effect to such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph; provided that all Liens securing Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Issue Date will at all times be treated as incurred and outstanding under clause (28) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and will not be later reclassified; provided further that in no event will the amount of any Indebtedness secured by a Lien be required to be counted more than once despite the fact more than one of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries is liable with respect to such Indebtedness and despite the fact such Indebtedness is secured by the assets of more than one of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries.  In addition, with respect to the creation of any Lien permitted by the provisions of this Indenture in reliance on the pro forma calculation of the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio, EBITDA or Pro Forma EBITDA, as applicable, Pro Forma Effect shall not be given to any Lien created (or expected to be made) substantially simultaneously or contemporaneously with creation of such Lien in reliance on any other “non-ratio basket” set forth in this Indenture.
d.With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness.  The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.
e.For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness or guarantee secured by a Lien, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; 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 shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest, dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance 
49

costs, underwriting discounts, and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing.
f.The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
Section 4.13    Corporate Existence.  Subject to Article V, Holdings shall 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 of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Holdings or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that Holdings shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if Holdings in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
Section 4.14    Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.  
a.If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs after the Issue Date, the Issuers shall make an offer to repurchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

6.that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuers to repurchase such Notes, provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the expiration time of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for repurchase, and a statement that such Holder is 
50

8.if such notice is sent prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event, and, if applicable, stating that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all applicable conditions shall be satisfied, or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuers shall determine that the Change of Control Triggering Event will not occur by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and
9.the other instructions, as determined by the Issuers, consistent with this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow.
The notice, if given in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  If (A) the notice is given in a manner herein provided and (B) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that property received such notice without defect.  The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.

c.The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event and a Holder will not have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase any Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption of all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 3.07, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the redemption price on the applicable Redemption Date or the redemption is not consummated due to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditioned upon the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the related Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.
51

d.If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as described in this Section 4.14, repurchase all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following such repurchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above), to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
e.Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any repurchase pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.02, Section 3.05 and Section 3.06.
Section 4.15    Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries.

1.such Restricted Subsidiary within 60 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee; and
2.such Restricted Subsidiary shall within 60 days deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel;
provided that this Section 4.15 shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.
Holdings may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall only be required to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Guarantee by such Subsidiary.
Section 4.16    Suspension of Certain Covenants.  
a.If (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from any two of the three Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.15 and clause (4) of Section 5.01(a) (the “Suspended Covenants”).
b.In the event that Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) any two of the three Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events.  Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants, and none of Holdings or 
52

any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period solely to the extent arising from the failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period).
c.The period of time from and including the date of the Covenant Suspension Event to (and excluding) the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.”  In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by Holdings or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes with respect to the Suspended Covenants. No Subsidiaries shall be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during any Suspension Period.
d.The Issuers may provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date; provided that a Suspension Period will not commence until the delivery of any such Officer’s Certificate.  The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate to any Holder upon request.  The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.
Section 4.17    [Reserved].  
Section 4.18    Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Transaction.  When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence of Liens and repayments of Indebtedness and asset sales), the date of determination of such basket or ratio and whether any such action or transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied) and of any Default or Event of Default may, at the option of the Issuers (the Issuers’ election to exercise such option, an “LCT Election”), be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (such date, the “LCT Test Date”).
If, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence of Liens and repayments of Indebtedness and asset sales) and any related pro forma adjustments, Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such transactions on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such basket, ratio or test (and any related requirements and conditions), such basket, ratio or test (and any related requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have been complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes (in the case of Indebtedness, for example, whether such Indebtedness is committed, issued or incurred at the LCT Test Date or at any time thereafter); provided that (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine all such baskets, ratios or tests on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such baskets, ratios or tests and (b) except as contemplated in the foregoing clause (a), compliance with such baskets, ratios or tests (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence of Liens and repayments of Indebtedness and asset sales).
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has made an LCT Election, (1) if any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date have been exceeded or otherwise failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Pro Forma EBITDA or total assets of the Issuer or the Person subject to

i.such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and
ii.the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $100.0 million or more at any one time outstanding;

b.A Default under clauses (3) or (4) of Section 6.01(a) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuers of the Default and, with respect to clause (3) of Section 6.01(a), Holdings or the Issuers do not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (3) of Section 6.01(a) after receipt of such notice.
c.If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then, at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another Default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action.  In addition, any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by Section 4.03 or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.
Section 6.02    Acceleration.  If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to Holdings, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, 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.  Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes shall be due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to Holdings, the Issuer or the Co-Issuer, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable without further action or notice.
57

Section 6.03    Other Remedies.  Subject to the duties of the Trustee as provided for in Article VII, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04    Waiver of Defaults.  Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or on the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder; and may rescind any acceleration and its consequences with respect to the Notes.  In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01(a), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that:
1.the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or
2.the 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,
it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05    Control by Majority.  Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.  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 of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to determine whether such direction is prejudicial to the rights of the Holders).
Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits.  Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
a.such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
b.Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
c.Holders of the Notes have offered, and if requested, provided, the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or expense;
58

d.the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and
e.Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).
Section 6.07    Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.08    Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding related thereto, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel (including without limitation any amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07).
Section 6.09    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.
Section 6.10    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.11    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 6.12    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and 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 
59

event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.13    Priorities.  If the Trustee or any Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money and property in the following order:
a.to the Trustee, the Agents, their agents and attorneys for amounts due to such parties under this Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or any Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;
b.to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, 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, respectively; and
c.to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.13.
Section 6.14    Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

a.If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default within 90 days after the Trustee’s receipt of notice of the occurrence of the Default.  Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
Section 7.06    [Reserved].  
Section 7.07    Compensation and Indemnity.  The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee 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 shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.
The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold the Trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it (as evidenced in an invoice from the Trustee) in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and the other costs and expenses and court costs of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuers or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuers or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder).  The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of its obligations hereunder.  The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence.
The obligations of the Issuers under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law, or the earlier resignation, removal or replacement of the Trustee.
To secure the payment obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes.  Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or the earlier resignation, removal or replacement of the Trustee.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(6) or (7) 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 shall 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 and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuers in writing upon 30 days advance notice.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 
63

then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuers in writing.  The Issuers may remove the Trustee if:
a.the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;
b.the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
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 Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuers’ expense), the Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in 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 shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers.  Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
Section 7.09    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.  If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.
In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.
Section 7.10    Eligibility; Disqualification.  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation 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 $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

ARTICLE VIII
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
Section 8.01    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.
Section 8.02    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  Upon the Issuers exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute such instruments as reasonably requested by the Issuers acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
a.the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04;
b.the Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
c.the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith; and
d.the provisions of this Section 8.02.
Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuers 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 Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15 and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01(a), Sections 5.01(c) and 5.01(d) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and such Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuers or any Guarantor, as applicable, may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(a)(3), (4), (5), (6) (solely with respect to Holdings and Significant Subsidiaries) and (7) (solely with respect to Holdings and Significant Subsidiaries) shall not constitute Events of Default.
65

Section 8.04    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.  The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes:
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:
a.the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, of such principal amount, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes; provided, that in connection with any defeasance to a Redemption Date that would require the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited in respect of the Applicable Premium shall be sufficient for purpose of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the applicable Redemption Date (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date.  Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee two Business Days prior to the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;
b.in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,
i.the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
ii.since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
c.in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to such 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 (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;
e.such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);
f.the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and

g.the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.
Section 8.05    Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to Section 8.06, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment through the Paying Agent (including the Issuers or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or 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 VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(b)(i)), 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 Issuers.  Subject to abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on its request or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
Section 8.07    Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or 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 Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall 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 money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuers makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
Section 9.01    Without Consent of Holders of Notes.  Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee or this Indenture) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any Holder:

9.to add a Guarantor under this Indenture or to release any Guarantor or Guarantee if at the time of such release such Guarantor is not required by this Indenture to be a Guarantor;

11.to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; 
12.to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, which are identical to exchange notes except that they are not freely transferable; or

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by resolutions of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, and delivery of an Officer’s Certificate.
Section 9.02    With Consent of Holders of Notes.  Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, 
68

consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).  Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 shall determine the Notes that are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by resolutions of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of the Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.
Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:
1.reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
2.reduce the principal amount of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 4.14 to the extent that any such amendment or waiver does not have the effect of reducing the principal of or changing the fixed final maturity of any such Note or altering or waiving the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes), provided that any amendment to the minimum notice requirement may be made with consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;
3.reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;
4.waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders;
5.make any Note payable in money other than that stated therein; 
6.make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;
69

7.make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions (except pursuant to Section 9.01, which relates to amendments permitted without the consent of any Holders);
8.amend the contractual right of Holders expressly set forth in this Indenture or the Notes to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor;
9.subordinate the Notes to other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor in a manner that would adversely affect the Holders; or
10.except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
Section 9.03    Revocation and Effect of Consents.  Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.  However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective.  An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver.  If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.
Section 9.04    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 Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.05    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.  The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  The Issuers may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until its board of directors approves it.  In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

ARTICLE X
GUARANTEES
Section 10.01    Guarantee.  Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:  (a) the principal of, interest and premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall 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.
The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.  Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.
Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
Each Guarantor agrees that it shall 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 Article VI for the purposes of this 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 Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.  The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees.
Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuers for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer or Co-Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s or Co-Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or 
71

performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any.
Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.
Section 10.02    Limitation on Guarantor Liability.  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 Guarantee.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article X, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.  Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each 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 determined in accordance with GAAP.
Section 10.03    Execution and Delivery.  To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each initial Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture has been executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or any supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D hereto no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
Upon execution of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture by a new Guarantor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto, the Guarantee of such Guarantor set forth in this Indenture shall be deemed duly delivered, without any further action by any Person, on behalf of such Guarantor.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
If required by Section 4.15, the Issuers shall cause any newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 and this Article X, to the extent applicable.
Section 10.04    Subrogation.  Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Issuers in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or 
72

receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuers under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.
Section 10.05    Benefits Acknowledged.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 10.06    Release of Guarantees.  A Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuers or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon:
a.other than with respect to Holdings’ Guarantee, any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor to any Person other than Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary, and otherwise in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;
b.other than with respect to Holdings’ Guarantee, the release or discharge from all of (i) its obligations under all of its guarantees of payment by the Issuer of any Indebtedness of the Issuer under the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities or (ii) in the case of a Guarantee made by a Guarantor (each, an “Other Guarantee”) as a result of its guarantee of certain other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.15, the relevant Indebtedness, except in the case of clause (i) or (ii), a release as a result of the repayment in full of the Indebtedness specified in clause (i) or (ii) (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still considered a release, and if any such Indebtedness of such Guarantor under the Existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any Other Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated);
c.the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or
d.the Issuers exercising their Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article VIII or the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with Article XI.

ARTICLE XI
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 11.01    Satisfaction and Discharge.  This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to the Notes (except for certain rights of the Trustee and the Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith that expressly survive), when either:
a.all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
b.(a) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption and redeemed within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and the Issuers have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not 
73

theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that, upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purpose of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date.  Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee two Business Days prior to the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;
(b)    the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and
(c)    the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (a) of clause (2) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive.
Section 11.02    Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

3.500% Senior Notes due 2029

1.    Interest.  The Issuers promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 3.500% per annum from February 25, 2021 until maturity.  The Issuers will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) and no interest shall accrue on such payment by reason of such delay.  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 the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 1, 2021.  The Issuers will pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest, at a rate per annum that is otherwise applicable to this Note.  Interest not paid when due and any interest on principal, premium or interest not paid when due will be paid to the Persons that are Holders on a special record date, as further described in the Indenture.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
2.    Method of Payment.  The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
