If an Officer of the Issuer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, 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 attached 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 Issuer’s Order (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate principal amount or amounts specified in such Authentication Order.  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 authenticating such Additional Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:
		
	(a)
	a copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of such Additional Notes, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.

52

		
	(b)
	an executed supplemental indenture, if any:

	an Officer’s Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 14.04:  and

		
	(d)
	an Opinion of Counsel which shall state that such Additional Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer will constitute valid and legally valid obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to customary limitations and qualifications by counsel. 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer 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 Issuer.

SECTION 2.03    Registrar and Paying Agent.  The Issuer 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 where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange.  The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes.  The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents.  The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.  The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall, to the extent that it is capable, act as such.  The Issuer or any of its domestic Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes representing the Notes.
The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar for the Notes.

SECTION 2.04    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  The Issuer shall require each 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 of any default by the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.  If the Issuer or a Subsidiary 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 Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

SECTION 2.05    Holder Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two 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 and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Date with respect to such Note and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date with respect to such Note.
(iv)    Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
(v)    All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(vi)    Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

SECTION 2.08    Outstanding Notes.  The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

SECTION 2.09    Treasury Notes.  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or a Guarantor or by any Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to such pledged Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor.

66

SECTION 2.10    Temporary Notes.  Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

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

SECTION 2.12    Defaulted Interest.  If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.  The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date.  The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12.  The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of any such special record date.  At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in 

67

lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

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

SECTION 2.14    Global Securities.  Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 3.02    Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.  If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which such Notes are listed or (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or by such other method, all in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.  In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this 

68

Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03    Notice of Redemption.  Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, the Issuer shall deliver electronically, mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with Applicable Procedures, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article VIII or Article XIII hereof.  Notice of any redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. 
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(a)    the Redemption Date;
(b)    the redemption price;
(c)    if any Definitive Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note;
(d)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(e)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(f)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(g)    the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;
(h)    the CUSIP and ISIN number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and ISIN number that is listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and
(i)    any condition to such redemption.
At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an 

69

Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.
If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the exchange of any such redemption and, if applicable, of the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Notes.

SECTION 3.04    Effect of Notice of Redemption.  The notice of redemption, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  In any case, failure to deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.  Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 3.05    Deposit of Redemption Price.
(a)    Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.
(b)    If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph (a), on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption.  If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date.  If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Redemption Date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

SECTION 3.06    Notes Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

Agent at the address specified in the notice at least two Business Days before the Purchase Date;
(vii)    that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

86

constituting a Permitted Lien) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (vii)(a); or (b) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that if a Subsidiary Guarantor incurs such Indebtedness from a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of the Notes of such Subsidiary Guarantor; provided, further, that any subsequent transfer of any such Indebtedness (except to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary or any pledge of such Indebtedness constituting a Permitted Lien) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (vii)(b);

(xvi)    any guarantee by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Indenture; provided, however, that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is contractually subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes or a Guarantee, then the guarantee incurred pursuant to this clause (xvi) shall be contractually subordinated or pari passu, as  applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness being guaranteed;
(xvii)    (a) Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer and Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock of API and the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) incurred or issued to finance an acquisition or (b) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of Persons that are acquired by API, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into API, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either (i) API would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Test, or (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for API is equal to or greater than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;

(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09:
(i)    in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (i) through (xxvi) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify, at any time, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses in Section 4.09(b) hereof or under Section 4.09(a) hereof; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the AIO Credit Agreement on the Issue Date or any refinancing thereof that is secured by a Lien will, at all times, be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under Section 4.09(b)(i) hereof; and

89

(ii)    the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and Section 4.09(b) hereof.
Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09.
For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be 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 fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing.
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.  The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Issuer dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.
API and the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of API, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of API, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Indenture, (1) unsecured Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) secured Senior Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other secured Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority lien with respect to the same collateral.

SECTION 4.10    Asset Sales.

90

(a)    The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:
(i)    the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and
(ii)    at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash and Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:
(A)    any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Company and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing;
(B)    any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; 
(C)    any cash or Cash Equivalents to be received in the future by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee from a contingent portion of the purchase price pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing such Asset Sale; and
(D)    any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $75.0 million and (y) 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, 
shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.
(b)    Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:
(i)    if the subject assets constitute Collateral:

91

(1)    to repay Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) provided that (x) to the extent that the terms of any First Lien Obligations other than Notes Obligations (as such agreements are in existence on the Issue Date or as such agreements are refinanced on similar or no more favorable terms with respect to payments to the lenders or creditors with respect thereto with respect to any Asset Sale), require that such First Lien Obligations are repaid with the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales prior to repayment of other Indebtedness, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be entitled to repay such other First Lien Obligations prior to repaying the Notes Obligations; and (y) subject to the foregoing clause (x), if the Issuer shall so reduce First Lien Obligations, the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Notes Obligations in any manner set forth in Section 4.10(b)(ii)(1)(iii) hereof to all holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any; or 
(2)    to make an Investment in any one or more businesses, assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case (i) used or useful in a Similar Business or (ii) that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; provided that the assets acquired are pledged as additional Collateral to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the holders of First Lien Obligations, and 
(ii)    if the subject assets do not constitute Collateral:
(1)    to repay (i) secured Indebtedness (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (ii) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor or (iii) Notes Obligations as provided in Section 3.07 hereof, through open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.10(c) hereof for an Asset Sale Offer); or
(2)    to make an Investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such Investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer), assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case (i) used or useful in a Similar Business or (ii) that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;
provided that, in the case of clauses (i)(2) and (ii)(2) of Section 4.10(b) hereof, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy 

92

such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”).  If any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated after the initial 365 days from such Asset Sale for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.
(c)    Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.”  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture.  The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $50.0 million by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.  The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $50.0 million or less.
To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered.  Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion).
(d)    Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.10, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) is (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law or (y) restricted by applicable organizational or constitutive documents or any agreement, from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in 

93

compliance with this covenant, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (the Issuer hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts (as determined in the Issuer’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law or other impediment to permit such repatriation), and if within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law or other impediment, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than five Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional taxes, costs and expenses payable or reserved against as a result thereof) (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this covenant and (ii) to the extent that the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition would have a material adverse tax cost consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any repatriation or prepayment whereby doing so the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates and/or equity partners would incur a material tax liability, including a tax on a dividend, a tax on a deemed dividend pursuant to Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or a withholding tax), the Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.  The non-application of any Net Proceeds as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default.
(f)    The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.
(g)    The Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.10 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

SECTION 4.11    Transactions with Affiliates.
(a)    The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of API (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless:
(i)    such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to API or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been 

94

obtained in a comparable transaction by API or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and
(ii)    API delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $30.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors or the audit committee of API approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with Section 4.11(a)(i).
(b)    The foregoing provisions will not apply to the following:
(i)    transactions between or among API and/or any Restricted Subsidiaries;
(ii)    Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07 hereof and Investments permitted by the definition of “Permitted Investments”;
(iii)    the payment of reasonable and customary fees and compensation paid to, and indemnities and reimbursements provided for the benefit of, current or former employees, directors, officers, managers or consultants of API or the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiaries;
(iv)    transactions in which API, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to API, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to API, the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by API, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis;
(v)    any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of API to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date);
(vi)    the existence of, or the performance by API, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement or investor rights agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided that the existence of, or the performance by API, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (vi) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of API to the 

95

Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the original agreement in effect on the Issue Date;
(vii)    transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services that are Affiliates, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are fair to API, the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of API or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;
(viii)    the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of API;
(ix)    payments and Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock (and cancellation of any thereof) of API and any Restricted Subsidiaries and Preferred Stock (and cancellation of any thereof) of any Restricted Subsidiary to any future, current or former employee, director, officer, manager or consultant (or their respective Immediate Family Members) of the Company, the Issuer or any of API’s Subsidiaries pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee or director benefit plan or agreement or any stock subscription or shareholder agreement that are, in each case, approved by API in good faith; and any employment agreements, stock option plans and other compensatory arrangements (and any successor plans thereto) and any supplemental executive retirement benefit plans or arrangements with any such employees, directors, officers, managers or consultants (or their respective Immediate Family Members) that are, in each case, approved by API in good faith;
(x)    payments to or from, and transactions with, any joint venture in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation, any cash management activities related thereto); and
(xi)    any lease entered into between API, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as lessee and any Affiliate of API, as lessor, which is approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors of API or by the audit committee thereof.

SECTION 4.12    Liens.  The Company and the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, create, incur or assume any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of API, the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom.

SECTION 4.13    Company Existence.  Subject to Article V hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its company 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 the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; 

96

provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer), if the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.14    Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.  (a)  If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.03 hereof, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase 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 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.  Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall deliver notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder to the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures with the following information:
(i)    that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuer;
(ii)    the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
(iii)    that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;
(iv)    that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(vi)    that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes, provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for 

97

purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;
(vii)    that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.  The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 thereof;
(viii)    if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and
(ix)    the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow.

(c)    The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

(e)    Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 hereof, and references therein to “redeem,” “redemption,” “Redemption Date” and similar words shall be deemed to refer to “purchase,” “repurchase,” “Purchase Date” and similar words, as applicable.
(f)    In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Issuer shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date relating to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such Change of Control Payment Date at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment, plus to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. 

SECTION 4.15    Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries.  
The Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness under any Credit Facility, unless such Subsidiary within 45 days of the date of such guarantee, 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 Subsidiary, 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.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be required to provide any guarantee, pledge or asset support agreement that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, would subject the Company or the respective Restricted Subsidiary to any adverse tax consequence (other than a de minimis adverse tax consequence) due to the application of Section 956 of the Code unless the applicable Subsidiary has guaranteed the AIO Credit Agreement, notwithstanding such tax consequences.

SECTION 4.16    Limitation on the Issuer Assets.
Subject to the provisions herein, at the end of each fiscal year, the Company will not permit the Adjusted AIO Total Assets to be less than 75% of the Adjusted API Total Assets (the “Minimum AIO Asset Level”); provided that (i) upon the Company’s determination (in its sole judgment) that the Minimum AIO Asset Level does not provide the Company sufficient flexibility to enter into a proposed new geographic market after the Issue Date, the Minimum AIO Asset Level shall be reduced to 70% of the Adjusted API Total Assets at all times after delivery of notice to the Trustee, (ii) the Minimum AIO Asset Level will be calculated at the time internal financial statements are available with respect to the applicable fiscal year (such date of calculation, the “Asset Date of Determination”) and (iii) if the Minimum AIO Asset Level requirement is not satisfied on the Asset Date of Determination, the Company will have 

99

90 days from the Asset Date of Determination to satisfy such requirement by transferring, conveying or otherwise moving additional assets to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries (such transfer, conveyance or movement of assets will be given pro forma effect as if it occurred immediately prior to the end of the applicable fiscal year).

SECTION 4.17    Suspension of Covenants.
(a)    During any period of time that (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade rating from both 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” and the date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”) then, Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.15, Section 4.16, Section 4.19, Section 4.20, Section 4.21 and Section 5.01(a)(iv) hereof shall not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).
(b)    During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
(c)    In the event that API 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”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade rating, then API and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events.  The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”  At the Company’s discretion, the Guarantees of the Guarantors and the Liens securing the Notes and the Obligations may be suspended during the Suspension Period.  Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset to zero.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by API or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (i) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though Section 4.07 hereof had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.09(b) hereof; (iii) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after such reinstatement pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (v) of Section 4.11(b) here; and (iv) any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to take any action described in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 4.08(a) hereof that becomes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (i) of Section 4.08(b) hereof. 

SECTION 4.18    [Reserved].

SECTION 4.19    Impairment of Security Interest.
Subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will take or omit to take any action which would adversely affect or impair in any material respect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, except as otherwise permitted or required by the Collateral Documents or this Indenture.  The Issuer shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver all such agreements and instruments as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the property intended to be Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Collateral Documents (although neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to so request).  The Issuer shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, at its sole cost and expense, file any such notice filings or other agreements or instruments as may be reasonably necessary or desirable under applicable law to perfect the Liens created by 

100

the Collateral Documents, or at such other times and at such other places as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may reasonably request (although neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to so request).

SECTION 4.20    Further Assurances.
The Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents in the Collateral (although neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to so request).  The Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent all such instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this Section 4.20.  The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to request the documents referred to in this Section 4.20.

SECTION 4.21    Covenant to Provide Mortgages.
If the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor directly or indirectly acquires any Material Real Property after the Issue Date, within 120 days after the acquisition thereof, the Issuer or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor shall:
(i)    furnish to the Collateral Agent a description of each such Material Real Property;
(ii)    duly execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Mortgage with respect to each such Material Real Property;
(iii)    take whatever action (including the recording of Mortgages and the filing of UCC financing statements) may be necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent valid Liens in such Material Real Property, enforceable against all third parties in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Bankruptcy Law and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); and
(iv)    deliver to the Collateral Agent a signed copy of an opinion, addressed to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Agreements), of counsel for the Issuer, in respect of such Mortgage.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01    Events of Default.

(d)    a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of Indebtedness for money borrowed by API, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall constitute a failure to pay the principal of Indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $75.0 million when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto or shall have resulted in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such Indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 60 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Issuer to cause such Indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;
(e)    failure by API, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final

(f)    API, the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

105

(h)    with respect to any Collateral having a Fair Market Value in excess of $75.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, (i) the security interest under the Collateral Documents, at any time, ceases to be in full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, except to the extent that any lack of perfection or priority results from any act or omission by the Collateral Agent or the Applicable Authorized Representative (so long as the act or omission does not result from the breach or non-compliance by API, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor with this Indenture or any Collateral Document), and such cessation continues for 60 days, (ii) any security interest created thereunder or under this Indenture is declared (in writing) invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) API, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor asserts in writing, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable; or

SECTION 6.02    Acceleration.  If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest shall be due and payable immediately.  The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in the Holders’ interest.  The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if the Trustee in good faith determines that acceleration is not in the best interests of the Holders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture (except nonpayment of interest 

106

on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder that has become due solely because of the acceleration) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if such rescission would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (d) of Section 6.01 hereof, 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 20 days after such Event of Default arose:
(a)    the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or
(b)    holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or
(c)    the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

SECTION 6.03    Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, 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 Past Defaults.  Subject to Section 6.02 hereof, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by 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 the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder) (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer).  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 then total outstanding Notes may direct 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 (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an 

107

affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

SECTION 6.06    Limitation on Suits.  Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, 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 notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(b)    Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c)    Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;
(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.

SECTION 6.07    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or 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) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer 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.

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 Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and 

108

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 hereof, 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 allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (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 event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.13    Priorities.  If the Trustee or any Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI or pursuant to the Collateral Documents (subject to the First 

109

Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement), it shall pay out the money in the following order:
(a)    to the Trustee, such Agent, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or such Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;
(b)    to Holders 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 Issuer 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 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 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01    Duties of Trustee.
(a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
(b)    Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i)    the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are 

110

specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.  However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).
(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i)    this paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;
(ii)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.02, 6.04 or 6.05 hereof:  and
(iv)    none of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.
(d)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.
(e)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.
(f)    The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 7.02    Rights of Trustee.

111

(a)    The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person.  The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
(b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
(c)    The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care.
(d)    The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.
(e)    Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer.
(f)    The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
(g)    In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
(h)    The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.
(i)    Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, 

112

including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).
(j)    The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.
(k)    The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.
(l)    The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

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

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

SECTION 7.05    Notice of Defaults.  If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs.  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.

SECTION 7.06    [Reserved]. 

SECTION 7.07    Compensation and Indemnity.  The Issuer 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 Issuer 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.

113

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer 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 Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder,  unless the Issuer is materially prejudiced by the failure to provide notice.  The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Issuer 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 Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.
To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer 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 for money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes.  Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

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 Issuer.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing.  The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:
(a)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
(b)    the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(c)    a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(d)    the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

114

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer 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 Issuer.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer 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 hereof, 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 Issuer.  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 hereof.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof 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.

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, together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof 

115

applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

SECTION 8.02    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors 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 hereof, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(a)    the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.05 hereof;
(b)    the Issuer’s obligations with respect to 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 Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and
(d)    this Section 8.02.
Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

SECTION 8.03    Covenant Defeasance.  Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.19, 4.20 and 4.21 hereof and clauses (iv) and (v) of Section 5.01(a), and Sections 5.01(c) and 5.01(d) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the 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 

116

Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors 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 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(c) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(h) and 6.01(i) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

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 hereof to the outstanding Notes:
(a)    the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal 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, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes 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 Redemption Date (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date.  Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with 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 Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions
(i)    the Issuer has 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,

117

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders 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 Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders 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)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and
(f)    the Issuer 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 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer 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 

118

Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 8.06    Repayment to Issuer.  Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

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

ARTICLE IX
     
 
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

(f)    to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Guarantor;
(g)    to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
(h)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee hereunder pursuant to the requirements hereof;

(k)    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 (a) 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 (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.
Upon the request of the Issuer and  receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof (to the extent requested by the Trustee), the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors 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 have the right, but not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither an Opinion of Counsel nor an Officer’s Certificate 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.

120

SECTION 9.02    With Consent of Holders.  Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents and the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes); Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the request of the Issuer and the delivery to the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof (to the extent requested by the Trustee), the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders 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 Issuer shall deliver to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Issuer to deliver 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):
(a)    reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(b)    reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Note (other than provisions relating to Section 4.10 and Section 4.14 hereof);
(c)    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

121

(d)    waive a Default in the payment of principal of or 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 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;
(e)    make any Note payable in money other than that stated therein;
(f)    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;
(g)    make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions;
(h)    impair the contractual right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;
(i)    make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or
(j)    except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner adverse to the Holders.
In addition, without the consent of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder) modify any Collateral Document or the provisions of this Indenture dealing with the Collateral Documents, or application of trust money in any manner, in each case, that would subordinate the Lien of the Collateral Agent to the Liens securing any other Obligations or otherwise release all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case other than in accordance with this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 9.03    [Reserved].  

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

122

The Issuer 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 9.05    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Issuer 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 9.06    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.  The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying conclusively upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer 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, except as required by Section 4.15 hereof, an Opinion of Counsel will not be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

125

The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive 

126

evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents.  Upon receipt of such documents the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any instruments of termination, satisfaction or release reasonably requested of it to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.

SECTION 11.05    [Reserved].

SECTION 11.06    Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.  In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XI upon the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XI, and if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.08    Release upon Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations.
In the event (i) that the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, in form and substance acceptable to it, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying that all the obligations under this Indenture and the Notes have been satisfied and discharged by the payment in full of the Issuer’s Notes Obligations and this Indenture, and all such Notes Obligations have been so satisfied, or (ii) a discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture occurs under Articles VIII or XIII, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the Collateral Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. 

SECTION 11.09    Trustee’s Duties with Respect to Collateral.
(a)    Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation 

127

statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.  The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in good faith.
(b)    Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.  Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents by the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors. 

SECTION 11.10    Intercreditor Agreements.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the security interests granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents in connection with this Indenture or the terms of any other Collateral Document, certain other rights and privileges, and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Trustee hereunder or by the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents are subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and this Indenture or any other Collateral Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements shall control.

ARTICLE XII
     
 
GUARANTEES

SECTION 12.01    Guarantee.  Subject to this Article XII, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior secured basis (or, in the case of the Company, a senior unsecured basis), 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 Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:  (a) the principal of and 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 Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; 

128

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 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 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 with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Issuer hereunder and under the Notes).  Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture or by release in accordance with the provisions of 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 12.01.
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, then 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 hereof 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 hereof, 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 nonpaying 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 Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver 

129

or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the 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 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 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 secured (or, in the case of the Company, an 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 12.02    Limitation on Guarantor Liability.  Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the 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 XII, 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 12.03    Execution and Delivery.  
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 hereof 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 no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

130

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 hereof, the Issuer shall cause any newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article XII, to the extent applicable.

SECTION 12.04    Subrogation.  Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 12.05    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 12.06    Release of Guarantees.  (a) The Guarantee of API will automatically and unconditionally be released without the need for any further action by any party upon written notice from the Issuer to the Trustee (i) if API merges or consolidates with the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes or (iii) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Notes in accordance with Article XIII.
(b)    The Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without the need for any action by any party:
(i)    (A)     in connection with any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of Capital Stock of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of consolidation or merger or otherwise) after which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of API or the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets (other than by lease) of such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving corporation in such transaction, to a Person which is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of API, provided that such sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition complies with Sections 4.07 and 4.10 hereof;
(B)    in connection with the merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor with API, the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor;

131

(C)    the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness under the AIO Credit Agreement, or the release or discharge of such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15);
(D)    if the Issuer designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary;
(E)    upon the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture; or
(F)    upon a liquidation or dissolution of a Subsidiary Guarantor permitted under this Indenture; and
(ii)    the Company delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to release and discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee have been complied with.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantor may be liquidated at any time, so long as all assets owned by such entity which constitute Collateral remain Collateral owned by the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor following any such liquidation.  Upon the release of a Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, all Collateral owned by the related Guarantor will also be automatically released.

ARTICLE XIII
     
 
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 13.01    Satisfaction and Discharge.  This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, 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 heretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(b)    (i)    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 within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of 

132

the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated 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 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 purposes 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 Redemption Date.  Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;
(ii)    the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and
(iii)    the Issuer has 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 Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (i) of clause (b) of this Section 13.01, the provisions of Section 13.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

SECTION 13.02    Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, 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 13.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred 

133

pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer 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.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1.    INTEREST.  Avon International Operations, Inc. (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum of 7.875% from August 15, 2016 until maturity.  The Issuer will pay interest on this Note semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  The Issuer will make each interest payment to the Holder of record of this Note on the immediately preceding February 1 and August 1 (each, a “Record Date”).  Interest on this Note 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 February 15, 2017.  The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note.  Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
2.    METHOD OF PAYMENT.  The Issuer will pay interest on this Note to the Person who is the registered Holder of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this Note is cancelled after such Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Note Register, provided that (a) all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, Notes represented by Global Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof and (b) all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to certificated Notes will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).  Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
3.    PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.  Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.

SECTION 2.02.    Nature of Senior Lender Claims.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that (a) a portion of the Senior Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (b) the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (c) the aggregate amount of the Senior Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof.

As between the Company and the other Grantors and the Second Priority Debt Parties, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company and the Grantors contained in any Second Priority Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of additional Senior Obligations.
SECTION 2.03.    Prohibition on Contesting Liens.

(c)    Subject to the proviso appearing in the first sentence of Section 3.01(a), (i) each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Second Priority Representative nor any such Second Priority Debt Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Second Priority Debt Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Debt Parties.
(d)    Each Second Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Second Priority Debt Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.

(d)    The Purchase Price and Cash Collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account of the Designated Senior Representative as it shall designate to the Purchasing Parties.  The Designated Senior Representative shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute the amounts received by it in respect of the Purchase Price to the Senior Secured Parties in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents.  Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the day on which the Purchase occurs if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Parties to the account designated by the Designated Senior Representative are received in such account prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Parties to the account designated by the Designated Senior Representative are received in such account later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time.
(e)    The Purchase shall be made without representation or warranty of any kind by the Senior Secured Parties as to the Senior Obligations, the Senior Collateral or otherwise and without recourse to the Senior Secured Parties, except that the Senior Secured Parties shall represent and warrant (i) the amount of the Senior Obligations being purchased, (ii) that the Senior Secured Parties own the Senior Obligations free and clear of any liens or encumbrances and (iii) that the Senior Secured Parties have the right to assign the Senior Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized.

Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Senior Representative and each applicable Senior Representative shall deliver promptly to the Designated Second Priority Representative any Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Designated Second Priority Representative to the Second Priority Debt Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Second Priority Debt Documents.

The Designated Senior Representative is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for each of the Second Priority Representatives or any such Second Priority Debt Party.  This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Other Agreements
SECTION 5.01.    Releases.
(a)    Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any specified item of Shared Collateral permitted under the terms of the Senior Debt Documents (whether or not an Event of Default thereunder or under any Second Priority Debt Document has occurred and is continuing) or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral by the Designated Senior Representative (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of any subsidiary of the Company), the Liens granted to the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties upon such Shared Collateral to secure Second Priority Debt Obligations shall terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with the termination and release of all Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Senior Obligations.  Upon delivery to a Second Priority Representative of an Officer’s Certificate stating that any such termination and release of Liens securing the Senior Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective concurrently with such termination and release of the Liens granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties and the Second Priority Representatives) and any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Company or any other Grantor, such Second Priority Representative will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Company’s or the other Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the Liens.  Nothing in this Section 5.01(a) will be deemed to affect any agreement of a Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under its Second Priority Debt Facility, to release the Liens on the Second Priority Collateral as set forth in the relevant Second Priority Debt Documents.
(b)    Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Designated Senior Representative and any officer or agent of the Designated Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Second Priority Representative or such Second Priority Debt Party or in the Designated Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time in the Designated Senior Representative’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 5.01(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a), including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
(c)    Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after an Event of Default under any Senior Debt Document, of proceeds of Shared Collateral to the repayment of Senior Obligations pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents, provided that nothing in this Section 5.01(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Second Priority Debt Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Second Priority Collateral Document, in the event the terms of a Senior Collateral Document and a Second Priority Collateral Document each require any Grantor to (i) make payment in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, (ii) deliver or afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of Shared Collateral with, (iii) register ownership of any item of Shared Collateral in the name of or make an assignment of ownership of any Shared Collateral or the rights thereunder to, (iv) cause any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or other Person acting in a similar capacity to agree to comply, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, with instructions or orders from, or to treat, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, as the entitlement holder, (v) hold any item of Shared Collateral in trust for (to the extent such item of Shared Collateral cannot be held in trust for multiple parties under applicable law), (vi) obtain the agreement of a bailee or other third party to hold any item of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, to follow the instructions of or (vii) obtain the agreement of a landlord with respect to access to leased premises where any item of Shared Collateral is located or waivers or subordination of rights with respect to any item of Shared Collateral in favor of, in any case, both the Designated Senior Representative and any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party, such Grantor may, until the applicable Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, comply with such requirement under the Second Priority Collateral Document as it relates to such Shared Collateral by taking any of the actions set forth above only with respect to, or in favor of, the Designated Senior Representative.
SECTION 5.02.    Insurance and Condemnation Awards.  Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Designated Senior Representative and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Debt Documents, (a) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (b) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.  Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of the Shared Collateral, shall be paid (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Senior Representative for the benefit of Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, (ii) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Second Priority Representative for the benefit of the Second Priority Debt Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Second Priority Debt Documents and (iii) third, if no Second Priority Debt Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  If any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.
SECTION 5.03.    Amendments to Second Priority Collateral Documents.  
(a)    No Second Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Priority Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or any Senior Debt Document.  The Company agrees to deliver to the Designated Senior Representative copies of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Second Priority Collateral Documents and (ii) any new Second Priority Collateral Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that each Second Priority Collateral Document under its Second Priority Debt Facility (other than any account control or similar agreement with third parties) shall include the following language (or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the [Second Priority Representative] pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted in favor of the Senior Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), including (A) liens and security interests granted to Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, pursuant to or in connection with the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of June 5, 2015 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among Avon International Operations, Inc., Avon Products, Inc., Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders party thereto and the other parties party thereto and (B) liens and security interests granted to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent in connection with that certain Indenture, dated as of August 15, 2016, among Avon International Operations, Inc., the guarantors party thereto from time to time and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and collateral agent, and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [Second Priority Representative] hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement dated as of [          ], 20[  ] (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Avon International Operations, Inc., Citibank, N.A., as Representative for the Credit Agreement Secured Parties, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Representative under the 2016 Notes Indenture and the other parties thereto, and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities party thereto.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”
(b)    In the event that the Senior Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral) in a manner that is applicable to all Senior Facilities, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the comparable Second Priority Collateral Documents without the consent of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party and without any action by any Second Priority Representative, the Company or any other Grantor; provided, however, that written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Second Priority Representative.
SECTION 5.04.    Rights as Unsecured Creditors.  The Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and applicable law, so long as such rights and remedies do not violate (or are not otherwise prohibited by) an express provision of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral.  In the event any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.
SECTION 5.05.    Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. 
(a)    The Administrative Agent acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Administrative Agent, or of agents or bailees of the Administrative Agent (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did not exist.  The rights of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05.  The duties or responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.05 as subagent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Second Priority Representative.
(e)    The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, and each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Administrative Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s role under this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Shared Collateral.
(f)    Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Second Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by the Administrative Agent or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral (including pursuant to the delivery of change of agent notices under deposit account control agreements and similar agreements), or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Second Party Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.  The Company and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Administrative Agent as a result of such transfer in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Debt Documents.  The Administrative Agent has no obligation to follow instructions from the Designated Second Priority Representative in contravention of this Agreement.
(g)    None of the Administrative Agent, any of the Senior Representatives or any of the Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent, any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
SECTION 5.06.    When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred.  If, at any time after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Company or any Subsidiary incurs any Senior Obligations (other than in respect of the payment of indemnities surviving the Discharge of Senior Obligations), then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the granting of amendments, waivers and consents hereunder and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be the respective Senior Representative for such Senior Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement.  Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Designated Senior Representative), each Second Priority Representatives (including the Designated Second Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Company), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Company or such new Designated Senior Representative and/or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Designated Senior Representative and the new Senior Representative the rights of the new Designated Senior Representative or the new Senior Representative, as the case may be, contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to the Designated Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Second Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral and (c) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Grantor that the new Designated Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.
ARTICLE VI 
 
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
SECTION 6.01.    Finance and Sale Issues.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall desire to permit (or not object to) the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to permit (or not object to) the Company’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will raise no (a) objection to and will not otherwise contest or oppose (or join with or support any third party opposing, objection to or contesting) such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except to the extent permitted by Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Obligations under the Credit Agreement or, if no Credit Agreement exists, under the other Senior Debt Documents are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties and (z) any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Designated Senior Representative, (b) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting)) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (c) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting)) any exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral or to exercise any rights under Section 1111(b) of the United States Code, (d) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral or (e) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) and will be deemed to have consented to) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Grantor for which the Designated Senior Representative has consented that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) each Second Priority Representative retains the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the cash collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests, (ii) (A) the DIP Financing does not compel the Borrower to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document or (B) the DIP Financing documentation or cash collateral order does not expressly require the sale or other liquidation of the Shared Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or cash collateral order, and (iii) that any form of order submitted in connection with interim or final approval of such DIP Financing shall provide that the Second Priority Debt Parties shall receive adequate protection in the form of replacement liens on additional collateral or super priority claims in connection with such DIP Financing.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of a final order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice and no notice shall be given in respect of an interim order approving such usage of cash or other collateral.
SECTION 6.02.    Relief from the Automatic Stay.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.
SECTION 6.03.    Adequate Protection.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Representative or the Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by any Senior Representative or the Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (other than in a capacity as a DIP Financing provider) and the Senior Secured Parties do not object to the adequate protection being provided to the Senior Secured Parties, then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (ii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted, as applicable, a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION 6.04.    Preference Issues.  If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts.  If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 6.05.    Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable) before any distribution is made in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations, with each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Debt Parties.
SECTION 6.06.    Post-Petition Interest; Section 1111(b)(2) Waiver.
(a)    Regardless of whether any such claim for post-petition interest, fees or expenses is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the Senior Secured Parties, and is intended to provide the Senior Secured Parties with the right, to receive payment of all post-petition interest, fees or expenses through distributions made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such interest, fees and expenses are not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Company or any other Grantor under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law.
(b)    Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Debt Parties, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Senior Secured Party arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application to the claims of any Senior Secured Party of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any sale, use or lease, cash collateral or DIP Financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Shared Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
SECTION 6.07.    No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties.  Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Debt Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.
SECTION 6.08.    Asset Sales.  Each Second Priority Representative agrees, for and on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Debt Parties represented thereby, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by any Senior Representative of any Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 6.09.    Application.  This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor.  All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
SECTION 6.10.    Other Matters.  To the extent that any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative, provided that if requested by the Designated Senior Representative, such Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Designated Senior Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.
SECTION 6.11.    506(c) Claims.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral.
SECTION 6.12.    Reorganization Securities.  If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Second Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

Reliance; etc.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    This Agreement may be amended in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility); provided that any such amendment, supplement or waiver which by the express terms of this Agreement requires the Company’s consent or which directly and adversely affects the rights, interests, liabilities or privileges of (including, without limitation, those rights, interests, liabilities or privileges set forth in Sections  2.06, 3.01, 5.01, 5.02, 8.03(b), 8.08, 8.09, 8.11, 8.13, 8.14 and 8.18), or imposes additional duties and obligations on, the Company or any Grantor, shall require the consent of the Company.  Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise.  In the event that any Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

The Company agrees that, if any Subsidiary shall become a Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause such Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex II.  Upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein.  The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Second Priority Representative.  The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 8.08.    Dealings with Grantors.  Upon any application or demand by the Company or any Grantor to any Representative to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or under any Collateral Document (if such action is subject to the provisions hereof), the Company or such Grantor, as appropriate, shall furnish to such Representative a certificate of a Responsible Officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement or such Collateral Document, as the case may be, relating to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Re:    Severance Benefit Letter Agreement and General Release of Claims
Dear Jim:

This Severance Benefit Letter Agreement and General Release of Claims (this “Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions of your benefits under an individual severance agreement with Avon Products, Inc. (“Avon” or the “Company”) that provides benefits in excess of the benefits available under the Avon Products, Inc. Severance Pay Plan (the “Severance Plan”).  The Severance Plan limits total payouts to any participant to no more than $540,000 for separations that occur in 2017 (the “409A Limit”).  Because your total severance payments are in excess of the amount that would otherwise be provided under the Severance Plan, this Agreement will be provided to you in lieu of any benefits payable under the Severance Plan and you agree that you waive all your rights to benefits under the Severance Plan.
The severance benefits being offered to you are as follows:
		
	a.
	Basic Severance Benefits:  As long as you work through the Separation Date (defined below in numbered Paragraph 1), you are eligible for a severance payment representing two weeks of your base salary, less deductions (the “Basic Severance”); or

		
	b.
	Additional Severance Benefits:  As an alternative to the Basic Severance, you may elect to receive a collection of benefits consisting of payment to you of an amount greater than the Basic Severance amount plus certain other benefits as described below.  For clarity, this collection of severance benefits will be called “Additional Severance Benefits.”  The Additional Severance Benefits are payable instead of the Basic Severance.  The Additional Severance Benefits are being offered to you in consideration of this Agreement, and, if applicable, the Second General Release (as defined below).  

To be eligible for the Additional Severance Benefits, as detailed below, you must:  (1) work through the Separation Date; (2) timely sign this Agreement; (3) allow this Agreement to become effective and irrevocable (by not revoking it within seven days of your signature); and (4) if you signed this Agreement before the Separation Date, you must timely sign another general release of claims (the “Second General Release”) and allow the Second General Release to become effective and irrevocable (by not revoking it within seven days of your signature). A copy of this Second General Release is included with the Agreement.   See the Paragraph below entitled Permissible Time to Sign Agreement and Possible Second General Release regarding the timing requirements for deciding whether to execute these documents and the accompanying instructions in the Second General Release.  
If your employment does not end for any reason, or if you are transferred or receive certain offers of employment from Avon or its affiliates to commence promptly after the Separation Date, consistent with the Severance Plan, your eligibility to receive either Basic Severance or Additional Severance Benefits will cease.
Until this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release becomes effective, you are not eligible for and do not have a binding right to severance benefits beyond the Basic Severance (two weeks of base salary, less deductions).  If you elect not to sign the Agreement, you are entitled to retain the Basic Severance. The below Paragraphs briefly describe the treatment of your benefits after the Separation Date (defined in Paragraph 1), including the enhanced severance benefits available to you if you elect the Additional Severance Benefits. Please note, however, that the actual written plan documents for the relevant benefit plans set forth the terms and conditions of benefits and control in the event of differences described herein.
		
	1.
	Last Day of Active Employment 

Your last day of active employment with Avon will be October 1, 2017 (the “Separation Date”). You must work through the Separation Date to either receive Basic Severance or Additional Severance Benefits. 
Regardless of whether you work through the Separation Date or whether you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, if you are entitled to any payment for accrued but unused paid time off benefits (e.g., vacation) through your last day of work, in accordance with applicable law, or the terms of an applicable Avon policy, you will receive a separate payment representing such amount(s), if any.  

		
	2.
	Salary Continuation

You must work through the Separation Date to either receive Basic Severance or Additional Severance Benefits.  For example, if, prior to the Separation Date, you (i) voluntarily resign your employment, (ii) are terminated by Avon for cause (as defined in the Severance Plan), or (iii) are terminated by Avon for poor performance (as defined in the Severance Plan) in accordance with our regular processes, you will not have met the requirement to work through the Separation Date.
If you work through the Separation Date, you will be eligible for either Basic Severance or Additional Severance Benefits:  
Basic Severance:  If you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you are eligible for an automatic two-week severance period (two weeks of your base salary), less applicable deductions, paid in accordance with the next-scheduled payroll cycle following the Separation Date.  
Additional Severance Benefits:  If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you will receive salary continuation for 24 months immediately following the Separation Date (referred to as the “Salary Continuation Period”) based upon your annual salary as in effect on the Separation Date.  Avon payroll will calculate the total amount of salary continuation payable, in accordance with Avon’s normal payroll practices.
Because you are one of the top 50 highest paid employees at Avon (a “specified employee”), under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Section 409A”), the section which governs nonqualified deferred compensation (including separation agreements), certain limitations may apply on how the separation payments will be made to you if the total severance payments exceed the 409A Limit.  Since your total severance payments under the Additional Severance Benefits are expected to exceed the 409A Limit, you will receive your severance in two tranches:
		
	(a)
	The first tranche (“Tranche A”) will be equal to the 409A Limit, payable over the Salary Continuation Period in substantially equal, bi-weekly installments (less applicable deductions) on each of Avon’s regular payroll dates.  

		
	(b)
	The second tranche (“Tranche B”) will be equal to the remaining amount of salary continuation owed to you under this Agreement in excess of the 409A Limit, payable from the first administratively feasible Avon regular 

payroll date that occurs in the seventh month following the Separation Date through the end of the Salary Continuation Period, in substantially equal, bi-weekly installments (less applicable deductions) on each of Avon’s regular payroll dates.  
Where both tranches are being paid at the same time, there will be one check paid to you by Avon.  
For the avoidance of doubt, payments under Tranche A are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A.  Payments under Tranche B are intended to either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A or satisfy any applicable requirements of Section 409A for payments of nonqualified deferred compensation to specified employees.
The Additional Severance Benefits are instead of the Basic Severance and any severance benefits that may otherwise be contemplated under any agreement with Avon or any Avon plan, policy or program. 
During the Salary Continuation Period, as explained below, you will be eligible to continue to participate in certain of Avon’s benefit plans in accordance with the provisions of the relevant plan documents, including any amendments to those plans that may be enacted from time to time, and any applicable elections that you may have on file with Avon.  You will not, however, accrue any vacation days or be eligible for any other benefits provided to active employees during the Salary Continuation Period, other than those expressly provided for herein and/or as otherwise required by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are receiving the Additional Severance Benefits in the form of salary continuation but you accept a position with another business entity, Avon may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay any remaining cash severance payments to you in the form of a lump sum payment (except that any such election to accelerate payment will not apply to the extent that it would violate Section 409A), in which case your participation in all Avon benefit plans (for example, the active medical plan) will cease, and you will no longer have a “Salary Continuation Period.” However, as used in Paragraphs 10(c), 10(d), or 10(e), below, the “Salary Continuation Period” shall mean the entire period of time that you would have received salary continuation payments under this Paragraph 2 had you not received all or a portion of your severance payments in the form of a lump sum payment.

		
	3.
	Avon Personal Savings Account Plan:  With respect to the Avon Personal Savings Account Plan (the “PSA”), also known as the 401(k) Plan, you are considered a terminated employee on the Separation Date.  Even if you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you will not be entitled to participate in the PSA during the Salary Continuation Period.  Whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, upon the Separation Date, you may take a distribution of your benefits immediately.  You may roll over the contents of your PSA account into an Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred savings account in accordance with the PSA and applicable tax rules.  Please consult with your accountant or tax advisor before doing so.  Any outstanding PSA loans you may have are payable within three months after your Separation Date if you do not make arrangements to continue to make regular loan repayments after the Separation Date through the PSA third party administrator, Empower Retirement.  You should contact Empower Retirement if you have an outstanding plan loan.    

		
	4.
	Cash Incentive Award  

As a reminder, all cash incentive awards are subject to Avon’s compensation recoupment policy.
Annual EIP:  You are currently a participant in the Avon Products, Inc. 2013-2017 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Annual EIP”) for 2017.  Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, payments, if any, of the Annual EIP award are governed by the terms of the Annual EIP and are triggered by the attainment of performance measures, as determined in accordance with Company policies.  Payment, if any, of the 2017 Annual EIP award, will be made in 2018 at the same time active 2017 Annual EIP participants receive their payments.  Even if you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you are not eligible for an award for any years after 2017 under the Annual EIP or any other bonus program.
		
	5.
	Deferred Compensation Plan

Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, under the Avon Products, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”) distributions will begin in accordance with the terms of such plan and any elections you may have made under such plan, including any amendments to such plan that may be enacted from time to time.  If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, during the Salary Continuation Period, you are not eligible to defer any monies into the DCP.  Your DCP form and timing of payment elections are available online at http://retirementnq.prudential.com.

		
	6.
	Equity Awards

Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, each equity award (such as restricted stock units and stock options) will continue to be governed by the applicable equity agreement(s) and the applicable stock incentive plan(s) (including, but not limited to, terms and conditions regarding vesting and settlement of awards). 
		
	7.
	Career Transition and Development Services 

Additional Severance Benefits:  If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, you will receive career transition and development services (outplacement services) provided by a vendor and program selected by Avon.  More information will be provided to you under separate cover closer to the Separation Date.  Your eligibility for outplacement services will begin on the day following the Separation Date and will continue for twelve (12) months following the Separation Date. If, at the conclusion of this initial career transition and development period, you have not found new employment, you may be eligible for a maximum of twelve (12) additional months of career transition and development services, to be granted in one-month increments at the sole discretion of Avon.
Basic Severance:  If you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits, no career transition and development services will be provided to you.
		
	8.
	Health and Welfare Plans 

Additional Severance Benefits:  If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, during the Salary Continuation Period, and provided that you are a participant in the applicable Avon plan as of the Separation Date, you generally will continue to be eligible to participate in the following benefit plans:  Medical, Dental, Vision, Employee Assistance Program, Group Life Insurance, Supplemental Group Life Insurance, Group Accidental Death and Dismemberment (“AD&D”) and Supplemental Group AD&D.  For those plans requiring premium payments, you will be required to pay the same portion of the total premium as an active associate pays.  If you elect to continue Medical, Dental and/or Vision coverage, your benefit coverage level will be provided at the benefit coverage level that you previously selected, subject to Avon’s right to amend, modify, or terminate such arrangements at any time.  But note, however, because you are considered one of the top 25% highest paid associates at Avon per IRS regulations, you will be paying your entire premiums on an after-tax basis and your Form W-2s will include imputed income equal to value of the subsidized premiums being

provided by Avon, as required by the Internal Revenue Code.  Because of this required tax treatment, the cost to you of continuing coverage may be substantially higher than while you were actively employed.  You may wish to consult a tax advisor to see how this change may impact you. 
Also, in the event that during the Salary Continuation Period you should become employed by another employer and are provided with medical and/or dental insurance coverage, you may either drop your Avon coverage or continue your coverage under both plans.  Under the second alternative, your coverage will be coordinated between the two plans, with your new employer’s plan serving as the primary payer.  In the event that your group health plan coverage ceases during the Salary Continuation Period due to a “qualifying event,” or due to the expiration of the Salary Continuation Period, you will then be entitled to elect continued coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”) at your own expense, assuming you satisfy the requirements of COBRA.  
In addition, pursuant to Section 409A, the following rules apply to your continued receipt of the above welfare benefits to the extent those benefits are not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A:  (x) to the extent that any such benefit is provided via reimbursement to you, no such reimbursement will be made by Avon later than the end of the year following the year in which the underlying expense is incurred; (y) any such benefit provided by Avon in any year will not be affected by the amount of any such benefit provided by Avon in any other year; and (z) under no circumstances will you be permitted to liquidate or exchange any such benefit for cash or any other benefit.
Basic Severance:  If you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits, your participation in the Medical, Dental, Vision, Employee Assistance Program, Group Life Insurance, Supplemental Group Life Insurance, Group AD&D and Supplemental Group AD&D will generally end on the Separation Date (or no later than the last day of the month in which Basic Severance ceases, pursuant to the terms of each plan and/or policy).  You are entitled to elect to continue group health plan coverage under COBRA at your own expense, assuming you satisfy the requirements of COBRA.  Information regarding COBRA coverage will be sent to you under separate cover if you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits.
Other Welfare Benefits
Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, your participation in the Short-Term and Long-Term Disability plans, the Flexible 

Spending Accounts, and the Transit Incentive Plan will cease following the Separation Date (except that you may continue to participate in the Health Care Flexible Spending Account for the remainder of the calendar year in which the Separation Date occurs in accordance with COBRA, assuming you satisfy the requirements of COBRA and assuming that you elect COBRA).  You will receive separate paperwork required to elect COBRA continuation coverage for the Health Care Flexible Spending Account.
If you participate in the Transit Incentive Program, you will have 90 days after the Separation Date to spend the remaining pre-tax and after-tax funds on your WageWorks Transit Commuter Card.  After the 90-day period has expired, the post-tax contributions will be returned to you.  Pre-tax contributions, per regulations, will be forfeited.  For more information please contact WageWorks at 877-924-3967.
Also, when your group life insurance coverage terminates (either immediately, or if you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, at the end of the Salary Continuation Period, if any), you may be entitled to convert the group coverage to individual life insurance coverage.  Please contact the group life insurance vendor (currently Liberty Mutual at 888-787-2129) before your group life insurance coverage terminates for details.
		
	9.
	Perquisites

		
	a.
	Executive Health Exam

Additional Severance Benefits:  If you elect the Additional Severance Benefits and if you have not already received your annual Executive Health Exam in the calendar year in which your Severance Date occurs, you may still receive the exam for up to the earlier of three months following the Separation Date or the end of the calendar year in which the Separation Date occurs.  Note, however, that because you are considered a “specified employee” under Section 409A, reimbursements for an Executive Health Exam after the Separation Date will be subject to a six-month delay from the Separation Date, and so any such reimbursements will be payable to you no earlier than the seventh month following the Separation Date.  
Basic Severance:  If you do not elect the Additional Severance Benefits, your eligibility for an Executive Health Exam will end on the Separation Date.

		
	b.
	Financial Planning and Tax Preparation 

Regardless of whether or not you elect the Additional Severance Benefits, your eligibility for Financial Planning and Tax Preparation will end on the Separation Date.  
Your receipt of the above perquisite(s) is subject to the following rules:  (x) to the extent that any such perquisite is provided via reimbursement to you, no such reimbursement will be made by Avon later than the end of the year following the year in which the underlying expense is incurred; (y) any such perquisite provided by Avon in any year will not be affected by the amount of any such perquisite provided by Avon in any other year; and (z) under no circumstances will you be permitted to liquidate or exchange any such perquisite for cash or any other benefit. 
		
	10.
	Your Obligations to Avon 

Additional Severance Benefits:  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in consideration of your election of the Additional Severance Benefits, you further agree to the following:
		
	a.
	Confidentiality:  You agree to keep and hold in strict trust all Confidential Information that you obtained or generated during or as a result of your employment at Avon.  You promise not to knowingly use, disclose, copy, distribute or reverse-engineer, directly or through persons interposed, without Avon’s prior written consent (which may only be provided by the Chief Executive Officer), as and from this date, and at any time, Avon’s Confidential Information.  For this purpose, “Confidential Information” means any secret, confidential, and/or proprietary information or knowledge relating to Avon or related to any of Avon’s affiliated companies, and/or their respective businesses, agents, employees, customers and independent sales representatives, that is not generally known to the public.  Such Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, financial information and projections, marketing information and plans, product formulations, samples, processes, production methods, intellectual property and trade secrets, data, know-how, sales, market development programs and plans, and other types of information not generally known to the public, including non-public unpublished or pending patent applications and all related patent rights, techniques, formulae, processes, discoveries, improvements, ideas, conceptions, compilations of data, and developments, whether or not patentable and whether or not copyrightable.  Notwithstanding your confidentiality obligations, you are permitted to disclose Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by you pursuant to judicial order or other legal mandate, provided that you have given Avon prompt notice of the disclosure requirement, and that you fully cooperate with any efforts by 

Avon to obtain and comply with any protective order imposed on such disclosure.  

In accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, you are hereby notified by Avon that you will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that:  (i) is made (x) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (y) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.  You are further notified by Avon that, if you file a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law, then you may disclose the employer’s trade secrets to your attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if you:  (A) file any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (B) do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

		
	b.

	By signing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you are agreeing that you may be reasonably requested from time to time by Avon:  (x) to advise and consult on matters within or related to your expertise and knowledge in connection with the business of Avon; (y) to make yourself available to Avon to respond to requests for information concerning matters involving facts or events relating to Avon; and (z) to assist with pending and future litigation, investigations, arbitrations, and/or other dispute resolution matters, in each case solely regarding matters with respect to which you have direct personal knowledge due to your prior employment with Avon. If you provide such consultation during the Salary Continuation Period, Avon will only reimburse you for reasonable related out-of-pocket expenses.  If you provide such consultation after the Salary Continuation Period ends, you shall be paid at your current salary rate, and in accordance with applicable law, for time expended by you at Avon’s request on such matters, and shall also receive reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such assistance.   Any time spent related to this paragraph shall be structured, to the extent practicable and reasonable, in a manner to minimize disruption to your ability to fulfill any other professional and personal commitments you may have from time to time.  You understand that, with respect to any consultation services provided by you under this paragraph, you will not be credited with any compensation, service or age credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting, or benefit accrual under any employee benefit plan of Avon, unless such employee benefit plan otherwise expressly and specifically provides for such credit.

		
	f.
	By signing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you acknowledge that you understand that violations of any of the preceding covenants of Paragraph 10 are material and that any violations may result in a 

forfeiture, at Avon’s sole, but reasonable, discretion, of your benefits and payments under this Agreement in excess of the Basic Severance (including salary continuation, whether or not already paid), but do not relieve you of your continuing obligations under this Agreement.  You agree that Avon’s remedies at law for any breach by you of the preceding covenants will be inadequate and that Avon will also have the right to obtain immediate injunctive relief, without a bond, so as to prevent any continued breach of any of these covenants, in addition to any other available legal remedies.  It is understood that any remedy available at law or in equity shall be available to Avon should the preceding covenants be breached.  

		
	g.
	By signing this Agreement and the Second General Release, if applicable, to the fullest extent allowed by law, you agree not to commence, join, participate in, or assist any lawsuit, action, investigation or proceeding arising from or relating to any act or omission by any of the “Avon Released Parties” (as that term is defined both in this Agreement in Paragraph 19 below and, if applicable, in the Second General Release) unless you are compelled by law to do so and you also agree not to  recover or seek to recover any damages, backpay or other monetary relief as part of any action or class action brought by any other individual, the EEOC, or any other civil rights or governmental agency.

		
	11.
	E-Mail and Voicemail:  You acknowledge and understand that your access to Avon’s e-mail and voicemail, as well as other communication systems, will be discontinued as of the Separation Date.

	14.
	Entire Agreement and Amendments to Agreement: You acknowledge that the only consideration for your execution and non-revocation of this Agreement (which includes a general release of claims) and, if applicable, your execution and non-revocation of the Second General Release are the benefits which are expressly stated in this document.  All other promises or agreements of any kind, including but not limited to, your employment offer letter agreement with Avon dated January 23, 2015, that have been made by or between the parties or by any other person or entity whatsoever that are related to the subject matter of this Agreement are superseded, revoked and cancelled by this Agreement, except that any arbitration, nondisclosure, intellectual property protection, non-solicit, non-compete or classified information provisions and/or agreements with the Company continue to apply in accordance with their terms (and the greater protection to Avon applies in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and such other agreements) and any plans, equity award agreements, or policies that are referenced in this Agreement as continuing to be applicable (including, without limitation, the Company’s “Associate Arbitration Policy”) are not superseded and will remain in effect. In addition, any compensation recoupment provisions, practices or policies will continue to apply, as applicable. You agree that this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, may not be changed orally, by email, or by any other form of electronic communication, but only by a written agreement signed by both you and an authorized representative of Avon.

		
	15.
	Severability:  You agree that the provisions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, are severable.  If a provision or any part of a provision is held to be invalid under any law or ruling, all of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release will remain in full force and effect and be enforceable to the extent allowed by law.  If any restriction contained in this Agreement or, if applicable, the Second General Release is held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, or scope, then you agree that such restriction may be construed, “blue-penciled” or judicially modified so as to be limited or reduced to the extent required to be enforceable under applicable law.  

		
	16.
	Voluntary Nature:  You are not required to elect the Additional Severance Benefits.  Any election to do so by you is completely voluntary.  By signing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you warrant and represent that you have read this entire Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, that you have had an opportunity to consult fully with an attorney, and that you fully understand the meaning and intent of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release.  Further, you knowingly and 

voluntarily, of your own free will, without any duress, being fully informed, and after due deliberation, accept its terms and sign below as your own free act.  You understand that as a result of executing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you will not have the right to assert that Avon or any other Avon Released Party (as defined both in this Agreement in Paragraph 19 below and, if applicable, in the Second General Release) unlawfully terminated your employment or violated any of your rights in connection with your employment.

		
	17.
	Governing Law:  You agree that this Agreement (which includes a general release of claims) and, if applicable, the Second General Release will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and federal law where applicable.  Any legal action to enforce this Agreement, and, if applicable the Second General Release, by either party, shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with Avon’s “Associate Arbitration Policy”.  To the extent that Avon is seeking equitable relief to enforce your obligations under this Agreement, Avon may seek such relief as provided in the Paragraph above entitled Your Obligations to Avon in any federal, state or local court in any jurisdiction.  

		
	18.
	Election Not to Accept the Additional Severance Benefits:  Should you elect not to accept the Additional Severance Benefits, you will be provided only with the Basic Severance (two weeks of base salary, less applicable withholdings) and continued coverage under certain Avon benefit plans during that period (or, for some plans, until the last day of the month in which such payments end, in accordance with the terms of such plans (which control in the event of any discrepancy herein)).  Following this two-week salary continuation period, you will be notified by a separate letter of your right to elect continued group health plan coverage, at your own expense, under COBRA, as applicable.  

		
	19.

	20.
	Additional Representations 

		
	a.
	You acknowledge that you have been paid in full (or will be paid in full pursuant to the Company’s normal payroll practice policy) for all hours that you have worked for Avon, that you have properly reported all hours worked, and that other than what is provided for in this Agreement (and under the terms and conditions of the employee benefit plans and equity agreements and plans referenced herein), you have no other rights to any other compensation or benefits.

		
	b.
	You further acknowledge that you have not been denied any leave requested under the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) or applicable state leave laws and that, to the extent applicable, you have been returned to your job, or an equivalent position, following any FMLA or state leave taken pursuant to the FMLA or state laws.

		
	c.
	You acknowledge, understand and agree that you have reported (or will timely report for occurrences that occur after the date that you sign this Agreement) to Avon any work related injury or illness that occurred up to and including the Separation Date.

		
	d.
	You acknowledge and certify that you have complied with Avon’s Code of Conduct (the “Code”) and its principles, and you agree to continue to comply with the Code through the Separation Date.

		
	21.
	Reservation of Certain Rights

You understand that nothing in this Agreement is intended, and nothing in this Agreement will be construed, to prevent, interfere with, or otherwise restrict communications or actions protected or required by applicable law, including the legitimate exercise of any Section 7 rights under the NLRA that you may have during your employment with Avon (such as discussing terms and conditions of employment and other workplace conditions).  
Protection of Whistleblower Rights:  This Agreement is not intended to, and shall be interpreted in a manner that does not, limit or restrict you from exercising any legally protected rights that you may have under any applicable statutes, regulations and rules intended to protect whistleblowers (including pursuant to Rule 21F under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  
		
	22.
	Compliance with Laws/Tax Treatment:  Avon will comply with all payroll/tax withholding requirements and will include in income these benefits as required by law.  Avon cannot guarantee the tax treatment of any of these benefits and makes no representation regarding the tax treatment.

		
	23.
	Internal Revenue Code Section 409A:  The parties hereto have a made a good faith effort to comply with current guidance under Section 409A.  The intent of the parties hereto is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith, including, without limitation, that references to “termination of employment” and like terms, with respect to payments and benefits that are provided under a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A) that is not exempt from Section 409A, will be interpreted to mean “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A).  In the event that amendments to this Agreement are necessary in order to comply with Section 409A or to minimize or eliminate any income inclusion and penalties under Section 409A (e.g., under any document or operational correction program), Avon and you agree to negotiate in good faith the applicable terms of such amendments and to implement such negotiated amendments, on a prospective and/or retroactive basis, as needed.  To the extent that any amount payable or benefit to be provided under this Agreement constitutes an amount payable or benefit to be provided under a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A) that is not exempt from Section 409A, and such amount or benefit is payable or to be provided as a result of a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A), and you are a specified employee (as defined in Section 409A and determined pursuant to procedures adopted by Avon from time to time) on your separation 

from service date, then, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, such payment or benefit will not be made or provided to you during the six (6) month period following your separation from service.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Avon makes no representation to you about the effect of Section 409A on the provisions of this Agreement and Avon shall have no liability to you in the event that you become subject to taxation under Section 409A (other than any tax reporting and/or withholding obligations that Avon may have under applicable law).

		
	24.
	Advice of Counsel:  You acknowledge that you have been and are hereby advised by Avon to consult with an attorney about this Agreement and its General Release of Claims (and, if applicable, the Second General Release) prior to signing (at your own expense) and you represent that you did so to the extent that you deemed appropriate or you knowingly and voluntarily waived your right to do so. You represent and warrant that you fully understand the terms of this Agreement and its General Release of Claims (and, if applicable, the Second General Release), and you knowingly and voluntarily, of your own free will, without any duress, being fully informed, and after due deliberation, accept its terms and sign below as your own free act.  You understand that, as a result of signing this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release, you will not have the right to assert that Avon or any other Avon Released Party unlawfully terminated your employment or violated any of your rights in connection with your employment.

		
	25.
	Challenge to the Validity of the Agreement and Communication with Government Agency:  Nothing in this Agreement:  (y) limits or affects your right to challenge the validity of the General Release of Claims under the ADEA or the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; or (z) precludes you from filing an administrative charge or otherwise communicating with any federal, state or local government office, official or agency.  However, you promise and agree never to seek or accept any damages or other legal remedies, or any equitable remedies or relief (including, without limitation, relief that would provide you with reinstatement to employment with Avon), and hereby waive any right to recovery of any such damages, remedies or other relief for you personally with respect to any claim released by Paragraph 19, regardless of whether another person or entity or you initiate the underlying action related to the Claim.  You also promise and agree not to voluntarily offer to be a witness and/or voluntarily provide evidence in support of any lawsuit brought by a third party (excluding governmental agencies) against Avon or the Avon Released Parties (as defined in the General Release of Claims above).

		
	26.
	Permissible Time to Sign Agreement and Possible Second General Release.  If you do not sign this Agreement and return it to Avon within twenty-one (21) days after the date on which you receive this Agreement and, if applicable, if you do not sign the Second General Release and return it within twenty-one (21) days following the Separation Date, then the offer of Additional Severance Benefits described herein will expire and you will not be entitled to any Additional Severance Benefits beyond the Basic Severance.  As long as you sign and return this Agreement within this time period, you will have seven (7) days immediately after the date of your signature to revoke your decision by delivering, within the seven (7) day period, written notice of revocation to the Senior Vice President, Human Resources.  If you do not revoke your decision during that seven (7)-day period, then this Agreement will become effective on the eighth (8th) day.  Note that similar consideration and revocation rules apply to the Second General Release (except that the consideration period begins on the Separation Date and the revocation period begins on the date you sign the Second General Release).  If you timely sign and return this Agreement and, if applicable, the Second General Release and do not revoke the Agreement, and, if applicable, the Second General Release, each will become effective, respectively, on the day following the expiration of their respective seven (7)-day revocation periods.

You understand that the present offer of the Additional Severance Benefits is made without prejudice and is conditional upon its unqualified acceptance and compliance with the execution and delivery requirements described above for this Agreement, and, if applicable, for the Second General Release.  Note that the Agreement includes an agreement regarding your ongoing obligation to protect and preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information obtained or accessed while you were in the employ of Avon.
Your signature below signifies your voluntary acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, its confidentiality clauses and your election to receive the Additional Severance Benefits, which benefits you acknowledge are in excess and in lieu of those provided under Avon’s regular severance pay plan(s) and policies.
A duplicate copy of this Agreement and the Second General Release is attached for your files.  Please sign and date both copies of this Agreement, in the spaces provided, returning one copy to Avon and retaining the other copy for your records.  If you elect not to accept the Additional Severance Benefits, please notify Avon, in writing, as soon as practicable of your decision.  Your failure to timely return the executed Agreement, and if applicable, the Second General Release, will be treated as your failure to elect the Additional Severance Benefits.

	Challenge to the Validity of the Agreement and Communication with Government Agency: 

Nothing in this Second General Release (i) limits or affects my right to challenge the validity of the Second General Release of Claims under the ADEA or the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; or (ii) precludes me from filing an administrative charge or otherwise communicating with any federal, state or local government office, official or agency.  However, I promise and agree never to seek or accept any damages or other legal remedies, or any equitable remedies or relief (including, without limitation, relief that would provide me with reinstatement to employment with Avon), and hereby waive any right to recovery of any such damages, remedies or other relief for myself personally with respect to any Claim released by Paragraph A, regardless of whether another person or entity or I initiate the underlying action related to the Claim.  I also promise and agree not to voluntarily offer to be a witness and/or voluntarily provide evidence in support of any lawsuit brought by a third party (excluding governmental agencies) against one or more of the Avon Released Parties.

C.Other Representations and Reservation of Certain Rights:
I make the following additional representations, which I acknowledge the Company has relied upon in entering into this Second General Release:
		
	i.
	Nothing in this Second General Release is to be construed as an admission on behalf of the Avon Released Parties of any wrongdoing with respect to me, any such wrongdoing being expressly denied.  

		
	ii.
	I represent and warrant that as of today’s date, I have not filed any complaint, charge, claim, or proceeding against any of the Avon Released Parties before any federal, state, or local agency, court, or other body relating to my employment and the cessation thereof or to any claim released in the Agreement or this Second General Release, and that I am not currently aware of any facts or basis for filing such a complaint, charge, claim, or proceeding against any of the Avon Released Parties.  Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and this Second General Release, I agree that, if I or any other person or entity files an action, complaint, charge, claim, or proceeding against any of the Avon Released Parties, I agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, I will not seek or accept any monetary, equitable, or other relief in such action, complaint, charge, claim, or proceeding (including without limitation relief that would provide me with reinstatement to employment with Avon), and that I will take all available steps/procedures to withdraw and/or dismiss the complaint, charge, claim or proceeding, regardless of who filed or initiated such complaint, charge, claim or proceeding, whether pursued solely on my behalf or on behalf of a greater class of individuals.    

		
	iii.
	If I am employed in, or was formerly employed in, the State of California, I acknowledge that I am aware of and familiar with the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the general release which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
If I am employed in, or was formerly employed in, the State of California, by signing this Second General Release, I hereby waive and relinquish all rights and benefits which I may have under Section 1542 of the California 

Civil Code and under the law of any other state or jurisdiction to the same or similar effect.  
		
	iv.
	I represent and warrant that I have the authority to enter into this Second General Release on my behalf individually and to bind all persons and entities claiming through me.

		
	v.
	I understand that nothing in the Agreement or this Second General Release will limit or interfere with any rights that I may have under Section 7 of the NLRA.  

		
	vi.
	I acknowledge and certify that I have complied with Avon’s Code of Conduct and its principles.

		
	vii.
	Protection of Whistleblower Rights:  I understand that this Second General Release is not intended to, and shall be interpreted in a manner that does not, limit or restrict me from exercising any legally protected rights that I may have under any applicable statutes, regulations and rules intended to protect whistleblowers (including pursuant to Rule 21F under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  

		
	viii.
	I acknowledge that Avon has advised me, and hereby advises me, to consult with legal counsel prior to signing the Agreement and the Second General Release.  I represent and warrant that I fully understand the terms of the Agreement and the Second General Release, that I have been encouraged to seek the benefit of advice of counsel and either have done so or have knowingly and voluntarily waived my right to do so, and that I knowingly and voluntarily, of my own free will, without any duress, being fully informed, and after due deliberation, accept its terms and sign below as my own free act.  I understand that as a result of signing the Agreement and the Second General Release (subject to Paragraph B above), I will not have the right to assert that Avon or any other Avon Released Party unlawfully terminated my employment or violated any of my rights in connection with my employment with Avon or the cessation thereof.

I acknowledge that I was afforded at least twenty-one (21) days (the “consideration period”) to consider whether to sign this Second General Release (it was included with my Agreement) during which time Avon did not change or revoke the terms of this Second General Release or the Agreement.  I understand that, in order to receive the Additional Severance Benefits, I must sign and return this Second General Release no earlier than my last day of active employment and no later than the end of the consideration period specified in my Agreement.

I understand that if I do not sign this Second General Release and return it to Avon within the time period specified above, then I will not be entitled to any Additional Severance Benefits beyond the basic severance as defined in the Agreement.  I understand that, as long as I sign and return this Second General Release within the consideration period, I will have seven (7) days immediately after the date of my signature in which I may revoke my decision to sign this Second General Release by delivering, within the seven (7) day period, written notice of revocation to the Senior Vice President, Human Resources.  If I do not revoke my decision during that seven (7)-day period, then this Second General Release will become effective on the eighth (8th) day after I sign it and will be irrevocable.
I acknowledge:  (w) that I am receiving valuable consideration in exchange for the execution of the Agreement and this Second General Release that I would not otherwise be entitled to receive; (x) that I was given at least twenty-one (21) days in which to consider the Agreement and a separate twenty-one (21) days in which to consider the Second General Release; (y) that any changes made to the Agreement or Second General Release, whether material or immaterial, will not restart their respective twenty-one (21) day consideration periods; and (z) that I am entitled to revoke the Agreement and the Second General Release in writing, within seven (7) days after I sign each, respectively.  Such revocation must be delivered to the Company as provided herein within the applicable seven (7)-day period, in which case I will receive no benefits other than basic severance and neither the Agreement, the Second General Release, nor my election to accept the Additional Severance Benefits, will go into effect.
This Second General Release shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.
