ARTICLE 2.

THE SECURITIES

SECTION 2.01 Amount of Securities; Issuable in Series. The aggregate principal amount of Original Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date is $325,000,000. The Securities may be issued in one or more series. All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination.

The Issuers may from time to time after the Issue Date issue Additional Securities under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, so long as (i) the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Additional Securities is at such time permitted by Section 4.03 and (ii) such Additional Securities are issued in compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Securities issued after the Issue Date (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 3.08, 4.06(g), 4.08(c) or the Appendix), there shall be (a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Securities:

(1) whether such Additional Securities shall be issued as part of a new or existing series of Securities and the title of such Additional Securities (which shall distinguish the Additional Securities of the series from Securities of any other series);

(2) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture;

(3) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Securities, including the date from which interest on such Additional Securities shall accrue; and

(4) if applicable, that such Additional Securities shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Securities, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global Securities in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Exhibit A hereto and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.2 of the Appendix in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Securities registered, or any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

If any of the terms of any Additional Securities are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or the indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Securities.

SECTION 2.02 Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Securities are set forth in the Appendix, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, and any Additional Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which any Issuer or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuers). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.03 Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuers signed by one Officer of each Issuer (a) Original Securities for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $325,000,000 and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Securities in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Appendix, any issuance of Additional Securities after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, whether such Additional Securities are of the same or a different series than the Original Securities.

One Officer of each Issuer shall sign the Securities for the Issuers by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Securities. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuers. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities 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 any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

SECTION 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Issuers shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency in the United States where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities and (ii) the Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities. The Trustee hereby accepts such appointments.

(b) The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any of its domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(c) The Issuers may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuers and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.

SECTION 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on each Business Day prior to the due date of the principal of and interest on any Security, the Issuers shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming

due. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee acting in such capacity) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. If the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. During the continuance of a Default under this Indenture, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to either of the Issuers, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.06 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 Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

SECTION 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.07. The Issuers shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Issuers, any Guarantor, the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that

ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

SECTION 2.08 Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Issuers or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuers or the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee or (ii) the Issuers, to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar, from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Security). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in their discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Issuers.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities.

SECTION 2.09 Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 12.06, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because an Issuer or an Affiliate of an Issuer holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.

If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that

date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.10 Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Securities.

SECTION 2.11 Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures or deliver copies of canceled Securities to the Issuers pursuant to written direction by an Officer of each Issuer. The Issuers may not issue new Securities to replace Securities they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.12 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Issuers shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Securities (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful), in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13 CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuers in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

SECTION 2.14 Calculation of Specified Percentage of Securities. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities, such percentage shall be calculated, on

the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Securities, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with Section 2.09 and Section 12.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

ARTICLE 3.

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01 Redemption.

(a) The Securities may be redeemed at the Issuers’ option, in whole, or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 5 of the form of Securities set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the redemption date.

(b) The Issuers shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 3.02 Applicability of Article. Redemption of Securities at the election of the Issuers or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture or the Securities, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article 3.

SECTION 3.03 Notices to Trustee. If the Issuers elect to redeem Securities pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the applicable Security, they shall notify the Trustee in writing of (i) the Section of this Indenture and the Security pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. The Issuers shall give notice to the Trustee provided for in this paragraph at least 5 days prior to the date of the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.05, unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuers to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Issuers and given in writing to the Trustee. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.04 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Securities for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities are listed (if such listing is known to the Trustee), or if such Securities are not so listed, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (including by way of lot or pro-rata and otherwise in accordance with and in such manner as complies with applicable requirements of the Depository); provided, that the Trustee shall not select Securities for redemption which would result in a Holder of Securities with a principal amount of Securities less than the minimum denomination. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding

Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly (and in any event, within 5 Business Days following receipt of the notice described in Section 3.03) of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

The Trustee will not be liable for any selections made in accordance with this Section 3.04.

SECTION 3.05 Notice of Optional Redemption.

(a) At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the applicable Security, the Issuers shall deliver a notice of redemption to Holders in accordance with the procedures of the Depository (and if the Securities are in certificated form, mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed to such Holder’s registered address), except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 8 hereof.

(b) Any such notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(i) the redemption date;

(ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date;

(iii) the name and address of a Paying Agent;

(iv) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to a Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, plus accrued interest;

(v) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

(vi) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment or any Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(vii) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and

(viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number or ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.

In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the stated redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed.

(c) At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall give the notice of redemption specified in this Section 3.05 in the Issuers’ names and at the Issuers’ expense; provided, however, that the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee or the Paying Agent (as applicable), at least 5 days (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee or the Paying Agent (as applicable)) prior to the date of the notice of redemption, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee or the Paying Agent give such notice. In such event, the Issuers shall provide the Trustee or the Paying Agent in writing with the information required by this Section 3.05.

SECTION 3.06 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.05, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice (except to the extent such redemption is conditional as set forth in Section 3.05). Upon surrender to any Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

In connection with any redemption of Securities, any such redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to equity issuances, debt issuances, other offering or other corporate transactions or events and may provide for extensions of the redemption date at the option of the Issuers.

In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice.

SECTION 3.07 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is a Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuers to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuers have deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Securities to be redeemed, unless a Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.08 Securities Redeemed in Part. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuers’ expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

ARTICLE 4.

COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01 Payment of Securities. The Issuers shall promptly pay the principal of and interest, on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture. An installment of principal of or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if by the applicable time on such date the Trustee or any Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due and the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, are not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Securities, and they shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate borne by the Securities to the extent lawful.

SECTION 4.02 Reports.

So long as any Securities are outstanding:

(i) the Company shall provide the Trustee and Holders of Securities with annual consolidated financial statements for each fiscal year audited by an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants within 120 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year and unaudited quarterly financial statements (including a balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the fiscal quarter and year-to-date period then ended and the corresponding fiscal quarter and year-to-date period from the prior year) within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year.

nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from refinancing, refunding, extending, renewing or replacing any obligations Incurred under this clause (whether or not such obligations could be newly Incurred under this clause on the date of such refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement), so long as the obligations resulting from such refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement do not exceed the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount or, if greater, committed amount of such obligations at the time such obligations became Permitted Debt under this Indenture, plus accretion of original issue discount, and (y) an amount necessary to pay any fees and expenses, including premiums, related to such refinancing, refunding, extension, renewal or replacement (it being understood that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock Incurred or issued under this clause (xii) shall cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (xii) but shall be deemed Incurred for purposes of Section 4.03(a) from and after the first date on which the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, could have Incurred or issued such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under Section 4.03(a) without reliance upon this clause (xii));

(xiii) any guarantee or co-issuance by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as the Incurrence of such Indebtedness or other obligations by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is not prohibited under the terms of this Indenture; provided that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Securities or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, any such guarantee or co-issuance of such Guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Guarantee with respect to the Securities substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Securities or the Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors may not Incur Indebtedness or issue shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to the Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b)(i)(B) if, after giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence or issuance (including pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock then outstanding of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors pursuant to Section 4.03(a) and Section 4.03(b)(i)(B) (excluding intercompany Preferred Stock issued between or among the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries) exceeds the greater of $100 million and 4.5% of Total Assets (the “Non-Guarantor Exception”).

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Issuers shall, in their sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03 and such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall be treated as having been Incurred pursuant to only one of the clauses in Section 4.03(b) or pursuant to Section 4.03(a), but may be Incurred partially under one clause and partially under one or more other clauses; provided that all Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement which is in existence or committed to on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred on the Issue Date pursuant to clause (A) of Section 4.03(b)(i), and the Issuers shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization or accretion of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.03 or Section 4.12. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Indebtedness which are otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. Indebtedness that is cash collateralized shall not be deemed to be Indebtedness hereunder to the extent of such cash collateralization. The principal amount of any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof.

(d) 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 or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), 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 the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

(e) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

(f) In connection with the incurrence of (i) revolving loan Indebtedness under this Section 4.03 or (ii) any commitment relating to the incurrence of Indebtedness under this Section 4.03 and (in respect of both clauses (i) and (ii)) the granting of any Lien to secure any such Indebtedness, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate, such incurrence and the granting of any such Lien as having occurred on the date of first incurrence of such revolving loan Indebtedness or commitment (such date, the “Deemed Date”), and any related subsequent actual incurrence or granting of any such Lien therefor will be deemed for all purposes under this Indenture to have been incurred or granted on such Deemed Date, including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating the Interest Coverage Ratio and usage of any other baskets or ratios under this Indenture (as applicable).

SECTION 4.05 [Reserved].

SECTION 4.06 Asset Sales.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless:

(i) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined on the date the contractual obligation is entered into) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(1) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the Securities thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets;

(2) any Securities or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received); and

(3) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (3) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $50 million and (y) 2.0% 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 each be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a).

(b) Within 365 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:

(i) to repay Obligations under the Credit Facilities that are secured by a Lien (and in the case of revolving obligations, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto);

(ii) to repay either (A) Obligations under the Securities or (B) Obligations under any other Pari Passu Indebtedness (and in the case of revolving obligations, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that in the case of any repayment pursuant to clause (B), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will reduce Obligations under the Securities on an equal or ratable basis with the Pari Passu Indebtedness repaid pursuant to clause (B) (x) on a pro rata basis as provided under Article 3 hereof, (y) through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or (z) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Securities at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Securities that would otherwise be prepaid (which offer shall be deemed to be an Asset Sale Offer for purposes hereof); and/or

(iii) to acquire Additional Assets;

provided that in the case of clause (iii) above, a binding commitment (whether or not subject to conditions) shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment and, in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Cash Proceeds are so applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment (whether or not subject to conditions) within six months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment.

(c) Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise use such Net Cash Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.06(b) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds (i) $75 million, in the case of a single transaction or a series of related transactions, or (ii) $150 million aggregate amount in any fiscal year, the Issuers shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Securities and to all holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to Asset Sales, to purchase the maximum principal amount of such Securities and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as appropriate, 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 in the event such Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with original issue discount, 100% of the principal amount thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or such lesser price, if any, as may be provided by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.06 and, in the case of Securities, is in a minimum amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuers shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed (i) $75 million, in the case of a single transaction or a series of related transactions, or (ii) $150 million aggregate amount in any fiscal year by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(g), with a copy to the Trustee. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities or the other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such Holders and holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuers shall select the Securities and such other Pari

Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of the Securities or such other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero, and in the case of an Asset Sale Offer being effected in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds the Issuers are offering to apply in such Asset Sale Offer shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Excess Proceeds.

(d) The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities 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 Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. The Issuers may rely on any no-action letters issued by the SEC indicating that the staff of the SEC will not recommend enforcement action in the event a tender offer satisfies certain conditions.

(e) Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary is acting as a Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) a sum sufficient to pay the purchase price for the Securities or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to such Asset Sale Offer. The Trustee (or a Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price for such Securities. In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent is greater than the purchase price of the Securities tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Company (per the payment instructions set out in a certificate from the Company) on the Business Day following the expiration of the Offer Period.

(f) If at the end of the Offer Period more Securities are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuers are required to purchase, selection of such Securities for purchase shall be made by the Issuers in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities are listed, or if such Securities are not listed, by lot or such other method as the Issuers shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable requirements of the Depository); provided that the Issuers shall not select Securities for purchase which would result in a Holder with a principal amount of Securities less than the minimum denomination to the extent practicable.

(g) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each Holder of Securities (with a copy to the Trustee) at such Holder’s registered address (or otherwise in accordance with the Depository’s procedures). If any Security is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

(h) A new Security in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of any Security purchased in part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security; provided that global Securities will be reduced in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository to reflect the unpurchased portion of any such Security. On and after the purchase date, unless the Issuers default in payment of the purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof purchased.

SECTION 4.07 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, 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 or series of transactions, contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of $25 million and 1.0% of Total Assets, unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms, taken as a whole, that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction (or if earlier, the date on which such transaction is contractually agreed) by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of $50 million and 2.0% of Total Assets, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or any Parent Entity, approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying to the Trustee that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above (which resolution, if adopted by a majority of the Disinterested Directors shall be conclusive evidence of compliance with clause (i) above).

(i) (A) transactions between or among the Company and/or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the applicable transactions and (B) any merger of the Company and any direct parent of the Company; provided that such direct parent shall have no material liabilities and no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Company (if applicable) and such merger is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and effected for a bona fide business purpose;

(ii) transactions in connection with (A) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.04 and (B) Permitted Investments;

(v) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith;

(vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any amendment thereto or similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its 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 (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Securities in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

(viii) (A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Company, and are on terms at least as favorable that could reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party (determined at the time such transaction is entered into, or, if earlier, the date such transaction is contractually agreed) or (B) transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(ix) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing, including dispositions and repurchases of assets;

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, except to the extent that the Issuers have exercised their right to redeem the Securities in accordance with Article 3 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall send a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating:

(f) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon such Change of Control Triggering Event (subject to any extensions to the extent set forth in the notice of such Change of Control Offer).

SECTION 4.09 Compliance Certificate. Commencing with the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Issuers they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.10 [Reserved].

SECTION 4.11 Guarantees.

The Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary other than SEG Finance (unless such Subsidiary is not required to guarantee the ABL Credit Agreement or is already a Guarantor) that:

(a) guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(b) Incurs any Indebtedness or issues any shares of Disqualified Stock,

in each case, other than (i) Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to the Non-Guarantor Exception and (ii) any Permitted Debt referred to in Section 4.03(b), to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall guarantee payment of the Securities. The Indebtedness and Disqualified Stock referenced in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.11 shall be referred to as “Reference Indebtedness.”

Each Guarantor’s Guarantee will be unconditionally and automatically released and discharged upon the release or discharge of the guarantee (other than as result of (i) payment thereon by such Guarantor following a default by the direct obligor on the Reference Indebtedness or (ii) the indefeasible repayment in full of such Reference Indebtedness) by such Guarantor of, or other obligations of such Guarantor with respect to, the Reference Indebtedness of the Company or any other Guarantor.

SECTION 4.12 Limitation on Liens.

(a) Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon any asset or property of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or on any evidences of Indebtedness or shares of Capital Stock of, or other ownership interests in, any Restricted Subsidiary (regardless of whether the asset, property, Indebtedness, Capital Stock or ownership interests were acquired before or after the date hereof) without effectively providing that all of the Securities or Guarantees then outstanding, as the case may be, shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the Indebtedness so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured.

This Section 4.12(a) will not require the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to secure the Securities if the relevant Lien consists of a Permitted Lien. Any Lien which is granted to secure the Securities or such Guarantee under this Section 4.12(a) shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Securities or such Guarantee under this Section 4.12(a).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires (or is replaced with another rule or regulation or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company due to the fact that such Restricted Subsidiary’s Capital Stock secures the Securities, then the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary shall at such time automatically be deemed not to be part of the collateral that would secure the Securities pursuant to this covenant, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement.

(c) For purposes of this Section 4.12, if any Lien would be permitted pursuant to one or more of the exceptions contained in the definition of “Permitted Lien,” the Company may classify such Lien in any manner that complies with this covenant and may later reclassify any such Lien so long as such Lien (as so reclassified) would be permitted to be made in reliance on the applicable exception as of the date of such reclassification.

SECTION 4.13 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

(a) The Company shall maintain in the United States, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency (in each case, if not the office of the Trustee). If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 12.02; provided, however, no service of legal process may be made on the Issuers at an office of the Trustee.

(b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c) The Issuers hereby designate the corporate trust office of the Trustee or its agent, as such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.04.

SECTION 4.14 Applicability and Discharge of Covenants.

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Securities have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default or Event of 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”), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not, until such time, if any, at which the Securities cease to have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies (the “Reversion Date”) be subject to Section 4.03, Section 4.04, Section 4.06 and Section 4.07 and, in each case, any related Default or Event of Default in this Indenture.

(b) The foregoing covenants and any related Defaults or Events of Default will again apply according to their terms from the first day on which a Covenant Suspension Event ceases to be in effect. Such covenants will not, however, be of any effect with regard to actions of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries properly taken during the continuance of the Covenant Suspension Event, and (i) Section 4.04 will be interpreted as if it has been in effect since the date of this Indenture other than during the period beginning with the Covenant Suspension Event and ending on the Reversion Date, (ii) any transactions prohibited by Section 4.07 entered into after such reinstatement pursuant to an agreement entered into during the continuance of the Covenant Suspension Event shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(vi) and (iii) all Indebtedness Incurred during the continuance of the Covenant Suspension Event will be classified, at the Issuers’ option, as having been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to the Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Covenant Suspension Event and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred under Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to

have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iv).

(c) The Issuers shall provide written notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date, but no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result of the failure to provide such notice. The Trustee shall have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred or (ii) notify the Holders of the Securities of the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

SECTION 4.15 Financial Calculations.

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or anything else to the contrary, when (i) calculating the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Interest Coverage Ratio, as applicable, or the availability under any basket under this Indenture, (ii) determining whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from any action, or (iii) determining any other compliance with this Indenture, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the date of determination of such ratio, basket, whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, or the satisfaction of any other condition precedent, shall, at the option of the Company, be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or similar event) and such ratios, baskets, absence of defaults or events of default, satisfaction of conditions precedent and other provisions shall be calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including acquisitions, Investments, the Incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, the Incurrence of Liens and Restricted Payments) as if they occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such baskets or ratios, absence of Default or Event of Default, satisfaction of conditions precedent or other provisions are exceeded, breached or otherwise failed as a result of fluctuations in such basket or ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Total Indebtedness, Consolidated Net Income or Total Assets of the Company or the target company) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such baskets or ratios, absence of Default or Event of Default, satisfaction of conditions precedent and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded, breached or otherwise failed as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction and related transactions (including acquisitions, Investments, the Incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, the Incurrence of Liens and Restricted Payments) are permitted under this Indenture and (y) such baskets or ratios, absence of Default or Event of Default, satisfaction of conditions and other provisions shall not be required to be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related transactions; provided further, that if the Company if the Company elects to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or similar event), any such transaction (including the related transactions to be entered into connection therewith) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are entered

and outstanding thereafter (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or similar event occurs) and for purposes of subsequently calculating any baskets, ratios or other provision under this Indenture after the date of such agreement (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of an irrevocable notice or similar event) and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction and to the extent baskets were utilized in satisfying any covenants, such baskets shall be deemed utilized, but any calculation of Total Assets or Consolidated Net Income for purposes of other incurrences of Indebtedness or Liens or making of Restricted Payments (not related to such Limited Condition Transaction) shall not reflect such Limited Condition Transaction until it is closed or the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction.

SECTION 5.02 Successor Issuer Substituted.

The Successor Issuer shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, an Issuer under this Indenture, with the same effect as if the Successor Issuer had been an original party to this Indenture, and such Issuer shall be released from all its liabilities and obligations under the Notes Documents.

SECTION 5.03 Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms.

No Guarantor shall consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another corporation or other Person, whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless:

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01 Events of Default. “Event of Default” wherever used herein with respect to the Securities means any one of the following events:

(a) default in the payment of any interest upon the Securities when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 calendar days;

(d) failure by an Issuer or any Guarantor to pay final and non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $60 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by indemnities or insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(e) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 6.01 specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 calendar days (or, in the case of the failure to comply with Section 4.02, 90 days) after written notice to the Issuers by the Trustee or to the Issuers and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities, a written notice specifying such Default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder,

(f) any Lien under the Security Documents in Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $35 million shall, at any time, cease to be in full force and effect for any reason other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under this Indenture or the release of any such Lien in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents or any such Lien created thereunder shall be declared invalid or unenforceable or any of the Issuers, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates shall assert in writing that any such Lien is invalid or unenforceable (except to the extent that (i) any of the foregoing results from the failure of the Notes Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Security Documents or to file UCC continuation statements, as applicable, or (ii) such loss is covered by a title insurance policy benefitting the Notes Collateral Agent or the trustee and the related insurer has not asserted in writing that such loss is not covered by such title insurance policy and has not denied coverage);

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and, in each such case, the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to an Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of then outstanding Securities by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the then outstanding Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to an Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the then outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article 6 provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Issuers have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue interest on the Securities,

(B) the principal of and premium, if any, on the Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Securities,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Securities, and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to the Securities, other than the non-payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.04.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (a) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, or (b) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected, in which case each Holder so affected must waive such Default or Event of Default (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a payment Event of Default occurring as a result of the acceleration of the Securities, which may be rescinded pursuant to Section 6.02). When a Default or Event of Default is waived, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any such Default or Event of Default 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 consequent right.

SECTION 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities 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. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

(a) No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

(ii) the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with the request prior to the expiration of such 60-day period.

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

SECTION 6.07 Right of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Securities, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall be absolute and unconditional, and such right 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) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Securities) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers or any Guarantor, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to empower 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall send to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as 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 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by an Issuer, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

ARTICLE 7.

TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default, of which a Trust Officer has actual notice, has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise 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 Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, 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) and shall be entitled to seek advice from legal counsel in relation thereto.

SECTION 7.02 Rights of Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

(e) The Trustee may retain professional advisers to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture, or any other Notes Document. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance on the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested (and subject to clause (g) below) in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, 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 Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuers and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities, disclaimers and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be compensated and indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction (including as set out in Section 7.07) are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as Notes Collateral Agent, Paying Agent and Registrar), and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder and under the other Notes Documents.

(i) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting hereunder, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to seek instructions, direction and authorization from the Holders.

(j) 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.

(k) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

(l) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunction of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; and acts of civil or military authorities and governmental action.

(m) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to effect or maintain insurance or to renew any policies of insurance or to inquire as to the sufficiency of any policies of insurance carried by the Issuers or any Guarantor, or to report, or make or file claims or proof of loss for, any loss or damage insured against or that may occur, or to keep itself informed or advised as to the payment of any taxes or assessments, or to require any such payment to be made.

(n) The Trustee may reasonably request that the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(o) Neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of the Issuers or any Guarantor, or any of their respective directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates or employee, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such party. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any inaccuracy in the information obtained from the Issuers or any Guarantor or for any inaccuracy or omission in the records which may result from such information or any failure by the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth herein as a result of any inaccuracy or incompleteness.

(p) The Trustee shall be entitled to request and receive written instructions from the Issuer (prior to an Event of Default) or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (after an Event of Default) and shall have no responsibility or liability for any losses or damages of any nature that may arise from any action taken or not taken by the Trustee in accordance with the written direction of such Person(s).

(q) In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests and indemnity and/or security from two or more groups of Holders, each representing less than the

majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, may determine what action, if any, shall be taken and shall be held harmless and shall not incur any liability for its failure to act until such inconsistency or conflict is, in its reasonable opinion, resolved.

(r) The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Issuers with respect to the covenants contained in Article 4. The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor the financial performance of the Issuers. Furthermore, the Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance, and shall not be responsible or liable for compliance with restrictions on transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of minimum denominations imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law or regulation with respect to any transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase or repurchase, as applicable, of any interest in any Securities.

(s) The Trustee may assume without inquiry in the absence of actual knowledge of a Trust Officer that the Issuers are duly complying with their obligations contained in this Indenture required to be performed and observed by it, and that no Default or Event of Default or other event which would require repayment of the Securities has occurred.

(t) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers under this Indenture.

(u) The Trustee may refrain from taking any action in any jurisdiction if the taking of such action in that jurisdiction would, in its opinion, based upon legal advice in the relevant jurisdiction, be contrary to any law of that jurisdiction or, to the extent applicable, the State of New York. Furthermore, the Trustee may also refrain from taking such action if it would otherwise render it liable to any Person in that jurisdiction, the State of New York or if, in its opinion based upon such legal advice, it would not have the power to take such action in that jurisdiction by virtue of any applicable law in that jurisdiction, in the State of New York or if it is determined by any court or other competent authority in that jurisdiction, in the State of New York that it does not have such power.

(v) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to do anything which, in its opinion, may be illegal or contrary to applicable law or regulation.

(w) The rights, powers, duties and obligations and actions of each Paying Agent and Registrar under this Indenture are several and not joint or joint and several.

SECTION 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Guarantee or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuers or any Guarantor in this Indenture or in

any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have received notice thereof in accordance with Section 12.02 from the Issuers, any Guarantor or any Holder.

SECTION 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of the Default within the later of 90 days after it occurs and 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

SECTION 7.06 Appointment of Co-Trustee.

(a) It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section 7.06 are adopted to these ends.

(b) In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co- trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Issuers be required by the separate or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuers; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Issuers do not execute any such instrument within 15 days after request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for the Issuers to execute any such instrument in the Issuers’ names and stead. In case any separate or co-trustee or a successor to either shall die, become incapable or acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest

in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

(d) Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) all rights and powers, conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and may be exercised or performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee; and

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder nor for supervising them.

(e) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 7.

(f) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as has been agreed between the Company and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly following receipt of written request therefor upon request for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the compensation and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel (limited to one law firm and one local counsel), accountants and experts. The Issuers and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or 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 or Guarantee against the Issuers or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by any Issuer, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Issuers of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuers shall not relieve any Issuer or any Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable good faith cooperation at the Issuers’ reasonable expense in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay the fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to pay such

fees and expenses if they assume the Trustee’s defense and, in the reasonable judgment of outside counsel to the Trustee, there is no actual or potential legal conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Trustee on the other hand, in connection with such defense. Neither the Issuers nor the Guarantors shall be required to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense (a) incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence or (b) if it is the result of the settlement of a claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder and the Trustee shall have settled such claim without the Issuers’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

To secure the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Issuers, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee, with the Issuers’ written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee has or acquires a conflict of interest in its capacity as Trustee that is not eliminated;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

100

(b) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

(c) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition at the expense of the Issuers any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee that is a corporation, national association or other business entity 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, and that is subject to supervision or examination by U.S. federal or state authorities. The Trustee shall always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

(ii) all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,

(1) have become due and payable, or

(2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

(3) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers;

SECTION 8.02 Application of Trust Money. All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including an Issuer acting as 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.

SECTION 8.03 Applicability of Article. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.04, the Issuers may terminate their obligations under the Securities and this Indenture as set forth in Section 8.04.

SECTION 8.04 Defeasance Upon Deposit of Money or U.S. Government Obligations. At the Issuers’ option, either (1) the Issuers shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as defined below) from their obligations with respect to Securities and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations under their Guarantees in respect of the Securities (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) the Issuers shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.11 and 4.12 and the operation of Article 5 and Section 6.01(c), 6.01(e) (with respect to any Default under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.11 and 4.12), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only) and 6.01(h) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), in respect of the Securities (“covenant defeasance option”) at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied:

(b) [reserved];

(d) if the Securities are then listed on any national securities exchange, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or a letter or other document from

103

such exchange to the effect that the Issuers’ exercise of their option under this Section 8.04 would not cause such Securities to be delisted;

(e) no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to the legal defeasance option only, no Event of Default under Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) shall have occurred and be continuing on the 91st day after such date;

(f) with respect to the legal defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance or Discharge.

Without the consent of any Holders, the Issuers, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (if required), at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto or amendments to the Notes Documents to add any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Notes Documents, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Issuers shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.01.

(b) In addition, without the consent of holders of at least 662/3% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not:

(i) (A) modify any Security Document or the provisions of this Indenture dealing with the Security Documents or application of trust moneys under the Security Documents, or (B) release any Collateral in any manner materially adverse to the Holder of the Securities (subject to clause (viii) above with respect to the release of all or substantially all Liens) other than in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture; or

107

Upon the request of the Issuers, and upon receipt by the Trustee (and, if it is required, the Notes Collateral Agent) of the documents described in Section 9.07, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (if required) shall join with the Issuers and, if applicable, the Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture or other amended Notes Documents. After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02.

SECTION 9.03 [Reserved].

SECTION 9.04 [Reserved].

SECTION 9.05 Effect of Consents and Waivers.

(a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuers or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the then outstanding Securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in the applicable Notes Document and any document supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture or other document) by the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee.

(b) The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, 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.

SECTION 9.06 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Issuers may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuers or the Trustee so determine, the Issuers in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.07 Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (if required) shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, respectively. If it does, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, may but need

108

not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and the Guarantors (as applicable), enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof.

SECTION 9.08 Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. All Securities issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Securities may vote) as one class and no series of Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 2.14.

ARTICLE 10.
SECURITY

SECTION 10.01 Security Documents; Additional Collateral.

(a) Security Documents. In order to secure the due and punctual payment of the Obligations under this Indenture and the Securities, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Notes Collateral Agent and any other parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.11 and this Article 10, will enter into the applicable Security Documents. The Company shall and shall cause each other Guarantor to, and each Guarantor shall, make all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to UCC financing statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such UCC financing statements) as are required to maintain (at the sole cost and expense of the Company and the Guarantors) the security interests created by the Security Documents in the Collateral (subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (if any) and the Security Documents) as a perfected security interest to the extent perfection is required by the Security Documents and within the time frames set forth therein, subject only to Permitted Liens, and with the priority required by the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (if any), and the other Security Documents.

(b) After-Acquired Collateral.

(i) If the Issuers or any Guarantor acquire any property which is of a type constituting Collateral under the Security Documents (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets), it may be required to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Notes Collateral Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions as are required under this Indenture or the Security Documents (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages and other documents and such other actions or deliveries of the type required by this Indenture, as applicable), to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected security interest (subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted by this Indenture, which include

109

certain purchase money security interests) in such after-acquired property and to have such after-acquired property included as part of the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of the Security Documents and this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired property to the same extent and with the same force and effect. However, no Guarantor will be required to mortgage real property acquired after the Issue Date at all if (a) such property has a fair market value of less than $7.5 million, (b) such property is secured by certain liens permitted under this Indenture, (c) the Company intends to sell such property within six months or such longer period permitted by the ABL Collateral Agent with respect to similar obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or (d) is otherwise considered an Excluded Asset.

(c) Real Estate Documents. Within 120 days (or such later date as the ABL Collateral Agent may agree with respect to similar requirements under the ABL Credit Agreement) after the Issue Date (with respect to any Mortgaged Property owned as of the Issue Date), or after the acquisition of any fee interest in any real property (other than Excluded Assets) (with respect to each other Mortgaged Property), with respect to each Mortgaged Property the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received (i) a duly executed and delivered first priority Mortgage (subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and Permitted Liens), in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, covering such real property, (ii) (A) a title insurance policy with extended coverage covering such real property in an amount equal to the then-applicable fair market value of such real property naming the Notes Collateral Agent as the insured party for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties as well as (B) a current ALTA or equivalent survey thereof, together with a customary surveyor’s certificate; provided that no new or updated survey shall be required in connection with any Mortgage for which the Issuers or the Guarantors deliver a title insurance policy if an existing survey, ExpressMap or other similar documentation is available and survey coverage is available for the title insurance policy without the need for such new or updated surveys, (iii) customary legal opinions of local counsel in the jurisdiction where an Issuer or Guarantor that owns such Mortgaged Property is located in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Notes Collateral Agent and its counsel, and (iv) customary opinions of local counsel in the states in which an Issuer or Guarantor that owns such Mortgaged Property is organized or formed, with respect to the validly existence, corporate power and authority of such Issuer or Guarantor in the granting of the Mortgage in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Notes Collateral Agent and its counsel.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to grant a security interest in any Excluded Assets, (ii) except as set forth in clause (iii) below, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to perfect any pledges, security interests and mortgages in the Collateral by any means other than (A)(x) filings pursuant to the UCC in the office of the Secretary of State (or similar central filing office) of the relevant State or elsewhere as required by the UCC and (y) filings in the applicable IP Offices with respect to Intellectual Property as expressly required in the Security Documents, (B) Mortgages in respect of Mortgaged Properties to be filed in the applicable recording or registry office(s) of the counties in which the Mortgaged Property is located (and, if required or customary in the jurisdiction where such Mortgaged Properties are located, fixture filings) and (C) subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (if any), delivery to the Notes Collateral Agent of all certificates evidencing Capital Stock required to be delivered in order to perfect the Notes Collateral Agent’s security interest therein, and

110

intercompany notes and other instruments to be held in its possession, in each case as expressly required in the Security Documents, (iii) the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to (A) deliver control agreements or (B) otherwise deliver perfection by “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) (including with respect to deposit accounts, securities accounts and commodities accounts), other than as described in clause (ii)(C) above and (iv) the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to take any action (other than the actions listed in clause (ii)(A) or (C) above) with respect to any assets located outside of the United States in connection with pledging Collateral or enter into any collateral documents governed by the laws of any country (or any political subdivision thereof) other than the United States.

SECTION 10.02 Concerning the Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) The provisions of this Section 10.02 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and none of the Issuers, any of the Guarantors nor any of the Holders shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have only those duties or responsibilities expressly provided hereunder or thereunder and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have nor be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, the Company, any other Guarantor or any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent.

(b) The Notes Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities and the Trustee (or such other persons as set forth in the Security Documents) with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (if any) or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities or the Trustee, as applicable, or, if applicable, such other persons as set forth in the Security Documents. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee may direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Security Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, none of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(d) Other than in connection with a release of Collateral permitted under Section 10.03 (except as may be required by Section 9.02), in each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Security Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise

111

rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Security Document, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities. Subject to the Security Documents, if the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(e) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession, the Notes Collateral Agent will have no 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. The Notes Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the collateral in its possession if it complies with the standard of care of the Notes Collateral Agent set forth herein, and the Notes Collateral Agent will 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 Notes Collateral Agent in good faith.

(f) The Notes Collateral Agent will not 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Notes Collateral Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any grantor 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. The Notes Collateral Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future Holders of the Notes concerning the perfection of the liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, Security Document, or any other Notes Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the preparing recording, filing, re-recording, re-filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance any financing statement, perfection statement, continuation statement or other instrument evidencing the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture, the Security Documents, or the other Notes Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC) in any public office or for otherwise ensuring the perfection or maintenance of any security interest granted pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document.

(g) In the event that the Notes Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Notes Collateral Agent’s

112

sole discretion may cause the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Notes Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Notes Collateral Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Notes Collateral Agent will not be liable to any person for any environmental claims or any environmental liabilities or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Notes Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the other Notes Documents, in the event the Notes Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under any mortgages or take any such other action if the Notes Collateral Agent has determined that the Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Notes Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Notes Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuers or the Holders to be sufficient.

(h) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all of the protections, immunities, indemnities, rights and privileges of the Trustee set forth in this Indenture and all such protections, immunities, indemnities, rights and privileges shall apply to the Notes Collateral Agent in its roles under any other Security Document, whether or not expressly stated therein; provided however, that in and during an Event of Default, only the Trustee, and not the Notes Collateral Agent, shall be subject to the prudent person standard.

(i) The Notes Collateral Agent has no duty to monitor, and there can be no assurance that the Company will inform the Collateral Agent of, the future acquisition of property that is of a type constituting Collateral. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the actions required to properly perfect a security interest in any such after-acquired property will be taken.

(j) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity as set forth in Section 7.07.

(k) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, each Holder, by acceptance of the Securities, agrees that each Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto (including any releases permitted hereunder), and act in accordance with the terms thereof.

(l) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly

113

contemplated hereby or by the other Security Documents that the Notes Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities; provided, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action hereunder or under any of the Security Documents or from the exercise of any power or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received instructions from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities, and if the Notes Collateral Agent deems necessary, satisfactory indemnity, and shall not be liable for any such delay in acting. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Notes Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Indenture, any Security Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy or insolvency law. For purposes of clarity, phrases such as “satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent”, “approved by the Notes Collateral Agent”, “acceptable to the Notes Collateral Agent”, “as determined by the Notes Collateral Agent”, “in the Notes Collateral Agent’s discretion”, “selected by the Notes Collateral Agent”, “requested by the Notes Collateral Agent” and phrases of similar import authorize and permit the Notes Collateral Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion.

(m) If any indemnity in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be or become, in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable determination, inadequate, the Notes Collateral Agent may by written request call for additional indemnification and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given. The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights (including the right to request that the Issuers or any other Guarantor take an action or deliver a document and the exercise of remedies following an Event of Default) granted to the Notes Collateral Agent herein shall not be construed as duties.

(n) In the event of any dispute between or conflicting claims among any the Company, Guarantor, or any party to the Security Documents and any other person or entity with respect to any Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such Collateral so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to the Company, any Guarantor, any party to the Security Documents or any other secured party for failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refuse to act until, in its sole discretion, either (i) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been determined by a final order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment or decree is not subject to appeal, or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent or (ii) the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all losses which it may incur by reason of so acting. The Notes Collateral Agent shall act on any court order, judgment or decree that is accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party, satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent, to the effect that said order, judgment or decree represents a final adjudication of the rights of the parties by a court of competent jurisdiction, and that the time for appeal from such order, judgment or decree has expired without an appeal having been filed with such court. The Notes Collateral Agent may, in addition, elect, in its sole discretion, to commence an interpleader

114

action or seek other judicial relief or orders as it may deem, in its sole discretion, necessary. The costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and shall be deemed a joint and several obligation of, the Company and the other Guarantors to the extent provided for in Section 7.07. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for the contents of any writing of any arbitrators or any third party contemplated in any Security Documents as a means to resolve disputes and may conclusively rely without any liability upon the contents thereof.

(o) The Notes Collateral Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale (whether public or private) of the Collateral or any part thereof at any sale pursuant to this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Notes Secured Parties hereby waive any claims against the Notes Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such sale (whether public or private) was less than the price that might have been obtained otherwise, even if the Notes Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree, so long as such sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Notes Secured Parties hereby agree that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable laws, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority or official, and the Company, the Guarantors an the Notes Secured Parties further agree that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent be liable or accountable to the Company, the Guarantors or the Notes Secured Parties for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that the Collateral or any part thereof is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.

SECTION 10.03 Releases of Collateral. The Notes Collateral Agent may take any action requested by the Company having the effect of releasing or subordinating any Collateral to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by this Indenture. In addition, the Liens on the Collateral will be automatically released with respect to the Securities and the Guarantees, in each case without delivery of any document or performance of any further act by any Person:

(c) upon (i) any sale or other transfer by the Issuers or any Guarantor (other than to any Issuer or any other Guarantor) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Security Documents, (ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest

115

created under any Security Document in any Collateral or to the release of any Guarantor from its Guarantee pursuant to the Security Documents, (iii) upon any Collateral becoming Excluded Collateral, (iv) any release of ABL Priority Collateral provided pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (with respect to the Notes Claimholder’s second lien on such Collateral), (v) any Collateral that is owned by a Guarantor to the extent such Guarantor has been released from its Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture or (vi) otherwise in accordance with, and as expressly provided for under, this Indenture and the Security Documents;

(d) as described in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement (and, if applicable, under the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement);

(i) as described in Article 9.

Upon any sale or disposition of Collateral in compliance with this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Liens in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent on such Collateral and (subject to the provisions described under Section 10.02) all proceeds thereof shall automatically terminate and be released and the Notes Collateral Agent will execute and deliver such documents and instruments as the Company may request to evidence such termination and release (without recourse or warranty) without the consent of the holders.

116

cost and expense of the Issuers take such other action as the Issuers or such Guarantor may reasonably request to effect such release, or subordination, as applicable.

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 10 upon the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, 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 Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 10.

SECTION 10.09 Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) Upon the Incurrence or issuance of Pari Passu Indebtedness, subject to receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and provided that will not impose any personal obligation on the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent or, in the opinion of the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture or ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall enter into a pari passu intercreditor agreement (the “Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement”) with the authorized representative and collateral agent of the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness with respect to the Collateral, which may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms without the consent of the holders of the Securities to add other parties holding Pari Passu Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Indenture, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Each holder of the Securities, by accepting a Security, shall be deemed to agree to each of the provisions in any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement which the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent agree to be subject to or otherwise bound by and shall be deemed to have authorized and instructed the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent to become party to any such Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and to carry out the actions and obligations contained therein.

(c) Under the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement the Applicable Authorized Representative will have the right to direct foreclosures and take other actions with respect to the Notes Common Collateral that is the Notes Priority Collateral and, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, other Collateral, and the authorized representatives of other series of Notes Obligations have no right to take actions with respect to such Collateral. The Applicable Authorized Representative will initially be the Designated Notes Indebtedness Authorized Representative, if any, or, the authorized representative of the series of Notes Obligations that constitutes the largest outstanding principal amount of any then outstanding series of Notes Obligations. The Controlling Notes Collateral Agent will initially be either, the Designated Pari Passu Collateral Agent, if any, or, if there is no Designated Pari Passu Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent of the series of Notes Obligations that constitutes the largest outstanding principal amount of any then outstanding series of Notes Obligations.

(d) If any Designated Pari Passu Collateral Agent is the Applicable Authorized Representative, such Designated Pari Passu Collateral Agent will remain the Applicable Authorized Representative until the earlier of (1) the discharge of the relevant Notes Secured

118

Bank Indebtedness and (2) the Non-Controlling Authorized Representative Enforcement Date (such date, the “Applicable Authorized Agent Date”). If any Designated Pari Passu Collateral Agent is the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, such Designated Pari Passu Collateral Agent will remain the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent until the Applicable Authorized Agent Date. After the Applicable Authorized Agent Date, the Applicable Authorized Representative will be the Authorized Representative of the series of Notes Obligations that constitutes the largest outstanding principal amount of any then outstanding series of Notes Obligations, other than the obligations under the relevant Notes Secured Bank Indebtedness, with respect to the Notes Common Collateral (the “Notes Major Non-Controlling Authorized Representative”).

(e) The Controlling Notes Collateral Agent shall have the sole right to act or refrain from acting with respect to the Notes Common Collateral, the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Collateral from any representative of any non-controlling authorized representative or other Notes Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative), and no non-controlling authorized representative or other Notes Secured Party (other than the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent) will commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its interests in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, the Notes Common Collateral.

(f) Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens on the Notes Common Collateral, and subject always to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, may deal with the Notes Common Collateral as if such Controlling Notes Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Notes Common Collateral. No authorized representative or Notes Collateral Agent or other representative of any Non-Controlling Notes Secured Party may contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, Applicable Authorized Representative or Notes Controlling Secured Party. The Trustee and each other Notes Collateral Agent agree that it will not accept any Lien on any Collateral for the benefit of the holders of the Securities (other than funds deposited for the discharge or defeasance of the Securities) or of any other series of Notes Obligations other than pursuant to the Notes Documents. Each of the Notes Secured Parties also agree that it will not contest or support any other person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Notes Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or the provisions of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement. The Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement will provide that if any Notes Common Collateral is transferred to a third party or otherwise disposed of in connection with any enforcement by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent thereunder, the Liens of the Notes Secured Parties upon such Collateral will be automatically released and discharged.

(g) If an Event of Default or any event of default under any other series of Notes Obligations has occurred and is continuing and the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Notes Common Collateral, or any distribution is made with respect to any Notes Common Collateral in any bankruptcy case of any Issuer or Guarantor, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other

119

liquidation of any such Collateral by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent or any other Notes Secured Party (or received pursuant to any other intercreditor agreement), as applicable, and proceeds of any such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the paragraph immediately following) to which the Notes Obligations are entitled under any other intercreditor agreement shall be applied among the Notes Obligations to the payment in full of the Notes Obligations in accordance with their respective Notes Documents on a ratable basis, after payment of all amounts owing to the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notes Common Collateral for which a third party (other than a Notes Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any series of Notes Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other series of Notes Obligations (such third party, an ‘‘Intervening Creditor’’), the value of any Notes Common Collateral or proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Notes Common Collateral or proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Notes Obligations with respect to which such impairment exists.

(i) None of the Notes Secured Parties may institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against any Notes Collateral Agent or any other Notes Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Notes Common Collateral. In addition, none of the Notes Secured Parties may seek to have any Notes Common Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral. If any Notes Secured Party obtains possession of any Notes Common Collateral or realizes any proceeds or payment in respect thereof, at any time prior to the discharge of each series of Notes Obligations, then it must hold such Notes Common Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other Notes Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment to the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent to be distributed in accordance with the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.

(j) If the Issuers or any Guarantor become subject to any bankruptcy case, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement will provide that (1) if the Issuer or any Guarantor shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (the “Notes DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Notes Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or any authorized representative of any Controlling Secured Party) will agree not to object to any such financing or to the Liens on the Notes Common Collateral securing the same (the ‘‘DIP Financing Liens’’) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Notes Common Collateral, unless any Notes Controlling Secured Party, or an authorized representative of any Notes Controlling Secured Party, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Notes Common Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Notes Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Notes Common Collateral and any “carve-out” requested in connection therewith on the same terms as the Liens of the Notes Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Notes Secured Parties constituting DIP

120

Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Collateral granted to secure the Notes Obligations of the Notes Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Notes Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Notes Common Collateral as set forth in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement), in each case so long as:

(1) the Notes Secured Parties of each series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Notes Common Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-a-vis all the other Notes Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Notes Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the bankruptcy case,

(2) the Notes Secured Parties of each series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Notes Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-a-vis such Notes Secured Parties as set forth in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement,

(3) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Notes Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, and

(4) if any Notes Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement;

provided, that, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Secured Parties of each series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Notes Secured Parties of such series or its representative that shall not constitute Notes Common Collateral; and provided, further, that the Notes Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Notes Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Secured Parties in connection with a Notes DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

(k) The Notes Secured Parties acknowledge that the Notes Obligations of any series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the other Notes Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement defining the relative rights of the Notes Secured Parties of any series.

ARTICLE 11.

GUARANTEES

SECTION 11.01 Guarantees.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees on a senior secured basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on in respect of the Securities and all other monetary obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuers whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any Default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor, except as provided in Section 11.08.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuers’ or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuers be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor.

(d) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives

122

any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01, 8.04, 11.02 and 11.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(f) Except as set forth in Sections 8.01, 8.04 and 11.02, each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Except as set forth in Sections 8.01, 8.04 and 11.02, each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuers or otherwise.

(g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuers to the Holders and the Trustee in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to exercise any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 11.01.

123

(i) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01.

(j) Upon request of the Trustee, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.02 Limitation on Liability.

Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Restricted Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture or the Guarantee, as each relates to such Restricted Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 11.03 Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.04 No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 11.05 Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 11.06 Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. Each Subsidiary and each other Person that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a Guarantor under this Article 10 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary or

124

other Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 11.07 Non-Impairment. The failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Security shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

SECTION 11.08 Release of a Guarantor.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, a Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall be deemed to be released and discharged from all obligations under this Article 11 upon:

(i) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise permitted under this Indenture;

(ii) a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of any Guarantor permitted under this Indenture;

(iii) the Issuers’ exercise of their legal defeasance option as described under Section 8.04 or if the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(iv) payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium (if any) on the Securities;

(v) the Issuers designating such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(vi) the release or discharge of the guarantee (other than as result of (i) payment thereon by such Guarantor following a default by the direct obligor on the Reference Indebtedness or (ii) the indefeasible repayment in full of such Reference Indebtedness) by such Guarantor of, or other obligations of such Guarantor with respect to, the Reference Indebtedness of the Company or any other Guarantor;

(vii) the applicable Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest securing Obligations under the Credit Facilities or other exercise of remedies in respect thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor will automatically be released from all obligations under its Guarantee, and such Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force and effect, upon the merger or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into an Issuer or another Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to an Issuer or another Guarantor.

FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]

5.625% Senior Secured Note due 2028

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1. Interest

SEG HOLDING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) and SEG FINANCE CORP., a Delaware corporation (“SEG Finance” and, together with the Company, the “Issuers”) promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Issuers shall pay interest semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing . Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Issuers shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. Method of Payment

The Issuers shall pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date (whether or not a Business Day). The Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuers shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Issuers will make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest), at the office of each Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by sending a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Securities, 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 a 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).

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, Truist Bank (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Issuers or any of their domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

A-6

4. Indenture

The Issuers issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of October 9, 2020 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all terms and provisions of the Indenture, and the Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms and provisions. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Securities are senior secured obligations of the Issuers. This Security is one of the Securities referred to in the Indenture. On and after the Issue Date, the Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Indebtedness, issue or sell shares of capital stock of the Company and such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make asset sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuers and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property.

To guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Securities and all other amounts payable by the Issuers under the Indenture and the Securities when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed the Guaranteed Obligations on a senior basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

5. Optional Redemption

Except as set forth in this Section 5, the Securities shall not be redeemable at the option of the Issuers prior to October 15, 2023. Thereafter, the Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (except that notices of redemption may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is delivered in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture), at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on October 15 of the years set forth below:

Year	Redemption Price
2023	102.813	%
2024	101.406	%
2025 and thereafter	100.000	%

A-7

In addition, at any time prior to October 15, 2023, the Issuers may redeem the Securities at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (except that notices of redemption may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is delivered in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date).

Furthermore, the Issuers may redeem, before October 15, 2023, up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (including any Additional Securities) during each twelve-month period commencing with the Issue Date at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Securities so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time on or prior to October 15, 2023, the Issuers may redeem in the aggregate up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by the Company or (2) by any Parent Entity, in each case, to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Company or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company from it, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) equal to 105.625% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date); provided, however, that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Securities (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Securities) must remain outstanding after each such redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 180 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed to each Holder of Securities being redeemed or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

Notice of any redemption in respect of an Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof.

A-8

In connection with any tender offer for the Securities, if holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in such tender offer and the Issuers, or any third party making such a tender offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchase all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Issuers will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such tender offer expiration date, to redeem the Securities that remain outstanding in whole, but not in part, following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) in such tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities that remain outstanding, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date). In determining whether the holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn such Securities in a tender offer, Securities owned by the Issuers or their Affiliates or by funds controlled or managed by any Affiliates of the Issuers, or any successor thereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of such tender offer.

6. Mandatory Redemption and Sinking Fund

The Securities are not subject to mandatory redemption or any sinking fund payments.

7. Notice of Redemption

Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his, her or its registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company. Securities in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 to the extent practicable. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

8. Repurchase of Securities at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event and Asset Sales

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, but not including, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to the redemption date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

A-9

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Issuers will be required to offer to purchase Securities upon the occurrence of certain events.

9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be redeemed.

10. Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

11. Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuers at their written request. After any such payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

12. Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions, the Issuers at any time may terminate some of or all their obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, and interest on, the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

13. Amendment, Waiver

The Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented or a Default thereunder may be waived, in each case, as provided in the Indenture.

14. Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of an Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities, in each case, by notice to the Issuers, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of an Issuer occurs, the principal of,

A-10

premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or similar official) or for any other remedy under the Indenture, unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request prior to the expiration of such 60-day period. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities are given the right to 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 the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

15. Trustee Dealings with the Issuers

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

16. No Recourse Against Others

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Issuers or any successor corporation shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

A-11

17. Authentication

19. Governing Law
