ARTICLE 2

THE SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Form and Dating. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication with respect thereto shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which are incorporated in and made part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. The Issuer shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the Trustee in writing. The Notes shall be in a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes are being offered and sold by the Issuer in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(a) Restricted Global Notes. All of the Notes are initially being offered and sold to (i) qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (ii) outside the United States to persons other than U.S. persons in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, and shall be issued initially in the form of one or more 144A Global Notes and Regulation S Global Notes, respectively, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the depositary, DTC, and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., duly executed by the Issuer and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Notes Custodian as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

(b) Form of Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Definitive Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.12 hereof and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Note, and the Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or (B) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

53

(c) Additional Notes. Subject to compliance with the provisions of Sections 4.9 and 4.10 hereof, the Issuer may issue Additional Notes in an unlimited amount under this Indenture.

(d) Regulation S Global Notes. Global Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall initially be represented by one or more Regulation S Global Notes, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with such applicable legends as are provided in Exhibit A. The Regulation S Global Notes will be deposited, upon issuance, on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

(e) Book Entry Provisions. The Issuer shall execute, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(e), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the applicable Depositary or its nominee, (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the applicable Depositary or pursuant to the applicable Depositary’s instructions and (iii) shall bear legends substantially in the form of the first paragraph of Exhibit A attached hereto.

Section 2.2 Execution and Authentication. An Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronic signature. Typographic and other minor errors or defects in any such electronic signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note which has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

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

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

The Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, authenticate and make available for delivery the Notes for original issue in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,400,000,000 and Additional Notes as contemplated by Section 2.1(c) hereof, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (an “Issuer Order”). The Issuer Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and shall provide that all such Notes will be represented by a Restricted Global Note and the date on which such issue of Notes is to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the applicable amounts in the foregoing sentence, except as provided in Sections 2.1(c) and 2.7 hereof.

The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.3 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain one or more offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (each, a “Registrar”), one or more offices or agencies where Notes may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”) and one or more offices or agencies where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will at all times maintain a Paying Agent, Registrar and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York.

54

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify in writing the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands in any place required by this Indenture, or fail to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer may act as Paying Agent (except for the purposes of Section 4.1 and Article 8).

The Issuer hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and custodian for the Notes (in such capacity, the “Notes Custodian”), and the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer for each of the aforesaid purposes. In acting hereunder and in connection with the Notes, the Notes Custodian, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall act solely as agents of the Issuer, and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder of the Notes.

The Issuer may change the Paying Agents or Registrar in its sole discretion without prior notice to the Holders.

Section 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date of the principal of or interest on any Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest, if any, so becoming due. A Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. If the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, the Issuer or such Affiliate shall, before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or interest on any Notes, segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay forthwith to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Paying Agent (unless the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer is acting as Paying Agent) be required to advance funds for any payment on the Notes hereunder or to make any such payment until the Paying Agent has actually received such funds from the Issuer.

Section 2.5 Noteholder Lists. The Trustee or Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee on or 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 Noteholders.

Section 2.6 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 2.12 hereof, when a Note is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Note for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate in the form(s) included in Exhibit A and Exhibit C, as applicable, and in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Note for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Issuer or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, and provided, that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.12(a), 3.6, 3.11 or 9.5 hereof.

55

Neither the Issuer, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Notes or portions thereof in respect of which a Change of Control Purchase Notice or a notice in connection with an Asset Sale Offer has been delivered and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Note in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased).

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(b) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Notes upon transfer or exchange of Notes.

(c) Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Issuer and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal, state, Canadian federal, provincial or territorial securities law.

(d) No Obligation of the Trustee. Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner of a Global Note or other Person (other than Depositary and any other Holder) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders shall be given only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners of a Global Note. None of the Issuer, the Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of Depositary in the case of Global Notes with respect to such Global Note, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Note, for any transactions between Depositary and any Participant or between or among Depositary, any such Participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by Depositary.

Section 2.7 Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Issuer, a Registrar or the Trustee, or the Issuer, a Registrar and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Issuer, the applicable Registrar and the Trustee such security and/or indemnity as will be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, such Registrar or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the Issuer pursuant to Article 3, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay or purchase such Note, as the case may be.

Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.7, the Issuer and/or the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee or the Registrar) in connection therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

56

The provisions of this Section 2.7 are (to the extent lawful) exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.8 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation or surrendered for transfer or exchange and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Issuer receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) holds on a Redemption Date, Change of Control Purchase Date or the Final Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the principal of (including premium, if any) and interest on Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after such Redemption Date, Change of Control Purchase Date or the Final Maturity Date, as the case may be, such Notes (or portions thereof, as the case may be) shall cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 2.9 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

Section 2.9 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any notice, direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes or by any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is neither the Issuer nor any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and execute, and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer with the consent of the Trustee considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall deliver the canceled Notes to the Issuer. All Notes which are purchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Final Maturity Date of such Notes may be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or resold. The Issuer may not hold or resell such Notes or issue any new Notes to replace any Notes delivered for cancellation

Section 2.12 Legend; Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements.

(a) If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set forth on the form of Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Legend”), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Note, the Notes so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an opinion of counsel if requested by the Issuer, as may be reasonably required by the Issuer,

57

that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Notes are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that no such evidence need be supplied in connection with the sale of such Note pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale. Upon (i) provision of satisfactory evidence if requested, or (ii) notification by the Issuer to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Note pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Issuer, shall authenticate and deliver a Note that does not bear the Legend. If the Legend is removed from the face of a Note and the Note is subsequently held by an Affiliate of the Issuer, the Legend shall be reinstated.

(b) A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transfer of a Note that is issued in exchange for a Global Note but is not itself a Global Note; provided further that in no event shall a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note be transferred to a U.S. Person prior to the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Regulation S, as determined by the Issuer. No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.12.

(c) Subject to the succeeding paragraph, every Note shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend. Whenever any Restricted Note is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange for a Note registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Note must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Note, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Note not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

(d) The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any Note shall cease and terminate when such Note has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). Any Note as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision by, if requested by the Issuer or the Registrar, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and addressed to the Issuer to the effect that the transfer of such Note has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged for a new Note, of like tenor, series and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Issuer shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering any Notes under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned opinion of counsel or registration statement.

(e) As used in this Section 2.12, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of any Note.

(f) The provisions of clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) below shall apply only to Global Notes:

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, a Global Note shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Note registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof, provided that a Global Note may be exchanged for Notes registered in the names of any person designated by the Depositary in the event that (A) the Depositary has notified the obligors that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the Issuer fails to appoint a successor Depositary or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (A) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (B) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the applicable Depositary. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the applicable Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

58

(ii) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and shall be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Note to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Note to be exchanged in part, either such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment and its receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(iii) Subject to the provisions of clause (v) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (i) above, the obligors will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of applicable Definitive Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v) Neither Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Note, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(vi) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so as and when expressly required by, the terms or this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(g) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the equivalent procedures of Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.13 CUSIP, Common Code and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers in notices of purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers applicable to the Notes.

REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES

Section 3.1 Right to Redeem. The Issuer, at its option, may redeem the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.7 and 3.8(g) hereof.

If the Issuer elects to redeem the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing at least 15 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which such Notes are being redeemed.

Section 3.2 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed(a) . The Issuer will give not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice of any redemption. If the Issuer elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes, the Notes will be selected for redemption as follows:

(i) in accordance with the procedures of DTC and in compliance with the requirements of the applicable stock exchange to the extent the Notes are held in the form of Global Notes; or

(ii) on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate to the extent the Notes are held in the form of Definitive Notes.

In the event of a partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Notes and portions of the Notes selected for redemption will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall send, or shall cause to be sent, a notice of redemption by first-class mail (postage prepaid) or otherwise transmit in accordance with applicable procedures of DTC to the Trustee and to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

| • |  | the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed;

| • |  | the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day);

| • |  | the redemption price;

| • |  | the name and address of the Paying Agent;

| • |  | that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

| • |  | if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers, if any, and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

| • |  | that, unless the Issuer defaults in the deposit of the redemption price, interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

60

| • |  | the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are being redeemed;

| • |  | the CUSIP numbers of the Notes; and

| • |  | any conditions precedent to such redemption.

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense, provided, that the Issuer makes such request at least three Business Days prior to the date by which such notice of redemption must be given to Holders in accordance with this Section 3.3. Redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Sections 8.3 or 8.4 or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1. If a redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the applicable redemption notice shall describe such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, without the requirement of an additional notice period to the Holders, 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 Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating or verifying the redemption price.

Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given and any conditions set forth therein have been satisfied, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice.

On and after the Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in the deposit of the redemption price and subject to satisfaction of any conditions precedent, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion of the Notes called for redemption, and all other rights of the Holder will terminate other than the right to receive the redemption price, without interest from the Redemption Date, on surrender of the Notes.

Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price (as calculated by the Issuer) on all Notes to be redeemed on that date.

Section 3.6 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, without service charge, a new Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.7 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to October 1, 2025, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Notes issued after the Issue Date, if any) issued under this Indenture at a redemption price of 108.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

(1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Notes issued after the Issue Date, if any) issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding the Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries); and

(2) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

61

(b) On or after October 1, 2025, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 1 of the years indicated below:

Year |  | Percentage |
2025 |  |  | 104.188 | %
2026 |  |  | 102.094 | %
2027 and thereafter |  |  | 100.000 | %

(c) At any time prior to October 1, 2025, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption. The Issuer shall calculate the redemption price, including any Applicable Premium.

(d) In connection with any optional redemption of the Notes, any such redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. If a redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the applicable redemption notice shall describe such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, without the requirement of an additional notice period to the Holders, 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 Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.

(e) If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor becomes obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount will be payable with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of (i) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined in Section 4.18), which amendment or change is publicly announced and becomes effective after September 14, 2023 (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after September 14, 2023, after such later date) or (ii) any amendment to, or change in, an official written interpretation or application of such laws or regulations (including by virtue of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction) which amendment or change is publicly announced and becomes effective after September 14, 2023 (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after September 14, 2023, after such later date) (each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a “Change in Tax Law”) and the Issuer or the applicable Note Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it (including making payment through a paying agent located in another jurisdiction, but not including the substitution of an obligor if the Issuer would be required to pay Additional Amounts), the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes then outstanding, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, 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); provided, however, that if such right to redeem is triggered by the obligation of a Note Guarantor to pay Additional Amounts, such right to redeem will apply only if the payment giving rise to such obligation cannot be made by the Issuer or another Note Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts. Notice of the Issuer’s intent to redeem the Notes shall not be given until the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that there has been such Change in Tax Law which would entitle the Issuer to redeem the Notes hereunder and an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Issuer or the applicable Note Guarantor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Person to the Issuer or the applicable Note Guarantor, after such successor Person becomes a party to this Indenture, with respect to a Change in Tax Law that is publicly announced and becomes effective after such successor Person becomes a party to this Indenture.

(f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

(g) In connection with any redemption under this Section 3.7, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent in this Indenture to the redemption have been complied with.

The delivery of such Note to any Paying Agent (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of such Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Change of Control Purchase Price therefor.

63

The Issuer shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.8, a portion of a Note if the principal amount of such portion is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(e) The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(f) The provisions under this Indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control (including any required notice period) may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes, including after the entry into of an agreement that would result in the need to make a Change of Control Offer.

(g) In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, within 60 days of such purchase, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.8(g) shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

Section 3.9 Effect of Change of Control Purchase Notice. Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Change of Control Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.8(c) hereof, the Holder of the Note in respect of which such change of Control Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Change of Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect to such Note. Such Change of Control Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (a) the Change of Control Purchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the conditions in Section 3.8(c) hereof have been satisfied) and (b) the time of delivery of such Note to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.8(c) hereof.

64

A Change of Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand delivery, electronic transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Notes, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s customary procedures) of withdrawal delivered by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date, specifying the principal amount of the Note or portion thereof (which must be a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted.

Section 3.10 Deposit of Change of Control Purchase Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Change of Control Purchase Date) sufficient to pay the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such Change of Control Purchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by this Section 3.10 is made by the Issuer shall be at the option of the Issuer, provided that such deposit shall be made in a manner such that the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall have immediately available funds on the Change of Control Purchase Date.

If a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, money sufficient to pay the Change of Control Purchase Price of any Note for which a Change of Control Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture then, on the Change of Control Purchase Date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes or any portion of such Notes as to which a Change of Control Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture and all other rights of the Holder of such Notes will terminate other than the right to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price, without interest from the Change of Control Purchase Date, on surrender of such Notes.

Section 3.11 Notes Purchased in Part. Any Note that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent, and promptly after the Change of Control Purchase Date the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not purchased.

Section 3.12 Compliance with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Notes. In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of Notes under Section 3.8 hereof, the Issuer shall (a) comply with Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to such Rule), if applicable, under the Exchange Act, and (b) otherwise comply with all United States federal and state securities laws and Canadian federal, provincial and territorial securities laws in connection with such offer to purchase or purchase of Notes, all so as to permit the rights of the Holders and obligations of the Issuer under Sections 3.8 through 3.11 hereof to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Article 3, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Article 3 by virtue of such conflict.

Section 3.13 Repayment to the Issuer. To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.10 with respect to any Notes hereof exceeds the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price (including interest thereon) of the Notes or portions thereof that the Issuer is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Change of Control Purchase Date, and upon written request, the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess cash to the Issuer.

Section 3.14 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds. In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof, the Issuer is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (“Asset Sale Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets. The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is

65

required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall apply a portion of the Excess Proceeds as calculated pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all of such Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first-class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the applicable Holders. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(3) that with respect to any Notes, any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(5) that, with respect to any Notes, Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have such Notes purchased in a principal amount of $2,000 (or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) only;

(6) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of any Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered in connection with the Asset Sale Offer exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only such Notes in denominations of $2,000 (or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), will be purchased); and

(9) that Holders of any Notes whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of such Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of the applicable Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all such Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.14. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer

66

for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer, shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.14, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS

Section 4.1 Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall promptly make all payments in respect of the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer) holds by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that date money, deposited by the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof, sufficient to pay the installment. Except in the case of a redemption, a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer, accrued and unpaid interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note is registered at the close of business on the record date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose. The Issuer shall (in immediately available funds), to the fullest extent permitted by law, pay interest on overdue principal (including premium, if any) and overdue installments of interest from the original due date to the date paid, at the rate applicable to the Note, which interest shall be payable on demand.

The Issuer will make payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder of the Global Note. The Issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Definitive Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders of the Definitive Notes, in the case of a Holder holding an aggregate principal amount of Notes of $1,000,000 or more, or, if no such account is specified or in the case of a Holder holding an aggregate principal amount of Notes of less than $1,000,000, by mailing a check to each such Holder’s registered address. All payments shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Payments to any Holder holding an aggregate principal amount of Notes in excess of $1,000,000 shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account maintained by such Holder in the United States, if such Holder has provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer at least 10 Business Days prior to the payment date. Any wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee will remain in effect until revoked by the Holder.

Section 4.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

(a) The Issuer shall maintain in the United States of America, an office or agency (which may be an the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.

(B) any securities, notes, other obligations or assets received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee (including earn-outs or similar obligations) that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents, within 180 days after the consummation of the applicable Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

(C) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration having an aggregate Fair Market Value that, when taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration previously received and then outstanding, does not exceed 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) the greater of $115.0 million or 15.0% of LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA;

(D) future payments to be made in cash or Cash Equivalents owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in the form of licensing, royalty, earnout or milestone payment (or similar deferred cash payments); and

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply an amount up to the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

(i) to repay (x) Indebtedness and other Obligations under the Credit Agreement and, if the Indebtedness repaid under the Credit Agreement is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, (y) Indebtedness and other Obligations under the Notes or any Pari Passu Indebtedness (other than the Credit Agreement) and, if the Pari Passu Indebtedness being repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto (provided that if such Net Proceeds are applied to repay such Pari Passu Indebtedness under this subclause (y), the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes in accordance with Section 3.7 hereof, through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases (in each case, provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof), or by making an offer (in accordance with Section 4.13(c)) to all Holders to purchase, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata principal amount of Notes) or (z) other Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, so long as the relevant assets were assets of such Subsidiary;

(ii) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business or the minority interest of any Permitted Business;

provided that (1) a binding commitment to apply any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (vi) of this Section 4.13(b) shall be treated as a permitted application of the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of the end of such 365-day period (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to apply the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Proceeds in any manner set forth above before the expiration of such 180-day period and, in the event the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary fails to do so, then the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage of such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below) and (2) the Issuer may elect to deem certain expenditures (including Investments) that would otherwise be permissible reinvestments but that occurred prior to the receipt of the applicable Net Proceeds as having been reinvested in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.13, but only to the extent such deemed expenditure (or Investment) shall have been made no earlier than the earlier of the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale or the consummation thereof.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.13 to the contrary, (x) the Issuer shall not be required to apply any amount that would otherwise be required to be applied pursuant to this Section 4.13 to the extent that the Asset Sale is consummated by any Foreign Subsidiary for so long as the Issuer determines in good faith that the repatriation to the Issuer of any such amount would be prohibited or delayed (beyond the time period during which such application is otherwise required to be made pursuant hereto) under any Requirement of Law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such Foreign Subsidiary (including on account of financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance or similar considerations); it being understood and agreed that (i) solely within 365 days following the event giving rise to the relevant Net Proceeds, the Issuer shall take all commercially reasonable actions required by applicable Requirements of Law to permit such repatriation and (ii) if such repatriation is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case, within 365 days following the event giving rise to the relevant Net Proceeds, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant Net Proceeds, and the repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against such Net Proceeds, as a result thereof, by the Issuer or the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, and any Affiliates or indirect or direct equity owners of the foregoing) as required by this Section 4.13 (without giving regard to this paragraph), (y) the Issuer shall not be required to apply any amount that would otherwise be required to be applied pursuant to this Section 4.13 to the extent that the relevant Net Proceeds are generated by any Joint Venture (including any Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) or the relevant Net Proceeds are received by any Joint Venture (including any Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) for so long as the Issuer determines in good faith that the distribution to the Issuer of such Net Proceeds would be prohibited under any applicable (I) Organizational Documents (or any relevant shareholders’ or similar agreement) governing such Joint Venture, (II) agreement or instrument (including a financing arrangement) entered into with a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, or (III) judgment, decree, order, statute or governmental rule or regulation; it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the event giving rise to the relevant Net Proceeds, the relevant Joint Venture will promptly distribute the Net Proceeds and the Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such distribution) applied (net of additional Taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) as required by this Section 4.13. In addition, if the Issuer determines in good faith that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) to the Issuer of any amounts required to be applied by this Section 4.13 would result in material and adverse tax consequences for the Issuer, any Note Guarantor or any of their respective

86

subsidiaries, Affiliates or indirect or direct equity owners, taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), as determined by the Issuer in good faith, the amount the Issuer shall be required to apply as set forth in this Section 4.13 shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; provided that to the extent that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) of any Net Proceeds from the relevant Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have a material and adverse tax consequence within the 365-day period following the event giving rise to the Net Proceeds, an amount equal to the Net Proceeds not previously applied pursuant to this Section 4.13(b) shall be promptly applied as otherwise required by this Section 4.13 (without regard to this paragraph).

Pending application of an amount equal to Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.13, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not Retained Asset Sale Proceeds and are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.13(b) hereof shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds in any fiscal year exceeds $100.0 million (disregarding Net Proceeds of up to $75.0 million received in respect of Exclusive Licenses in such year), the Issuer will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the amount of such Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer (“Declined Asset Sale Proceeds”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use the amount of such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the requirement to make an Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero. (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion). Upon consummation or expiration of any Asset Sale Offer, any remaining Net Proceeds shall not be deemed Excess Proceeds and the Issuer may use such Net Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture.

(d) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.14 Additional Note Guarantees.

(a) To the extent any one of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries that is not a Note Guarantor as of the Issue Date Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under any syndicated Credit Facility or Capital Markets Indebtedness as of the Issue Date, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a notation of Note Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (subject to the Agreed Guarantee Principles), pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally Guarantee, on a senior secured basis, all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture within 120 days after the Issue Date. Thereafter, such Subsidiary shall be a Note Guarantor for all purposes hereof until such Note Guarantee is released in accordance herewith.

(b) If any one of the Issuer’s Restricted Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) that is not a Note Guarantor Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under any syndicated Credit Facility or Capital Markets Indebtedness after the Issue Date, and prior to a Fall Away Event, that Subsidiary shall (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and a notation of Note Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally Guarantee, on a senior secured basis, all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this

87

Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture and notation of Note Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary. Thereafter, such Subsidiary shall be a Note Guarantor for all purposes hereof until such Note Guarantee is released in accordance herewith.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the supplemental indenture and notation of Note Guarantee may be modified in respect of any Note Guarantor organized outside of the United States of America as necessary or appropriate to (1) comply with applicable law, (2) avoid any general legal limitations such as general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit, “thin capitalization” rules, retention of title claims or similar matters or (3) avoid a conflict with the fiduciary duties of such company’s directors, contravention of any legal prohibition or regulatory condition, or the material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officers or directors (collectively referred to as “Agreed Guarantee Principles”), in each case as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion.

Section 4.15 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Issuer’s Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. Any designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be a designation of each of such entity’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Following the Issue Date, if a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments (calculated after giving effect to any concurrent transactions) owned by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.8 hereof or under one or more of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Issuer’s Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default; provided that such redesignation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness and, if applicable, an incurrence of related Liens by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer of any outstanding Indebtedness and, if applicable, related Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such redesignation will only be permitted if such Indebtedness and, if applicable, related Liens are permitted under Section 4.9 hereof and, if applicable, Section 4.10 hereof (other than clause (14) under the definition of “Permitted Liens”), calculated, if applicable, on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period.

Section 4.16 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenant that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 4.17 Notice of Default. In the event that any Default or Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof shall occur and be continuing, the Issuer shall give written notice of such Default or Event of Default to the Trustee promptly after it becomes aware of the same (which shall be no later than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such Default or Event of Default), unless such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived during such 20-Business Day period.

Section 4.18 Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes, or by or on behalf of any Note Guarantor under or with respect to any Note Guarantee (each such Person, a “Payor”) will be made free and clear of any withholding or deduction for or on account of any tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge of whatever nature (collectively, for purposes of this Section 4.18, “Tax”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which such Payor is organized, resident or carrying on business for tax

88

purposes or from or through which such Payor makes any payment on the Notes or its Note Guarantee or any department or political subdivision of any of the foregoing (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Payor (or an applicable withholding agent) is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law. If the Payor (or an applicable withholding agent) is required by law to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to any Notes or Note Guarantee, the Payor, subject to the exceptions listed below, will pay additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by each Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes after such withholding or deduction (including withholding or deduction attributable to Additional Amounts payable hereunder) will not be less than the amount the Holder or beneficial owner would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be so withheld or deducted. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee in any of its capacities under this Indenture, including, without limitation, as Paying Agent, is not a “Payor” for purposes of this Section 4.18.

(b) A Payor will not, however, pay Additional Amounts to a Holder or beneficial owner of Notes:

(i) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settler, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder or beneficial owner, if such Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than any connection resulting solely from the acquisition, ownership, holding or disposition of Notes, the receipt of payments thereunder or under any Note Guarantee and/or the exercise or enforcement of rights under any Notes or any Note Guarantee);

(ii) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of Notes, following the Issuer’s or the Payor’s written request addressed to the Holder, to the extent such Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so, to comply with any certification, identification, information or other reporting requirements, whether required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, Taxes imposed by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including, without limitation, a certification that the Holder or beneficial owner is not resident in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction);

(iii) with respect to any Taxes payable other than by withholding or deduction from payments under or with respect to the Notes;

(iv) with respect to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, capital gains, excise or personal property tax or any similar Taxes;

(v) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the Holder or beneficial owner of any Note, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(vi) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for the Holder or beneficial owner not dealing at arm’s length, within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), with such Payor;

(vii) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for such Holder or beneficial owner being, or not dealing at arm’s length (within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) with, a “specified shareholder” of the Issuer as defined in subsection 18(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) for purposes of the thin capitalization rules in the Income Tax Act (Canada);

89

(viii) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for such Holder or beneficial owner being a “specified entity” (as proposed to be defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) under the certain proposals to amend the Income Tax Act (Canada) with respect to “hybrid mismatch arrangements”) in respect of the Payor;

(ix) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts are U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as in effect on the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations, official interpretations or administrative authority promulgated thereunder and any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code as in effect on the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), and, for the avoidance of doubt, any intergovernmental agreement (and related legislation, rules or practices) implementing the foregoing (taken together, “FATCA”), except to the extent that such Taxes result from a failure of any Paying Agent to comply with FATCA; or

(x) any combination of items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix).

Additional Amounts also shall not be paid with respect to any payment on the Notes or any Note Guarantee to a beneficial owner who is a fiduciary, a partnership (or entity treated as a partnership for tax purposes) or anyone other than the sole beneficial owner of that payment to the extent that payment would be required by the laws of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a member of that partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had that beneficiary, settlor, member or interest holder been the beneficial owner.

(c) The Payor or applicable withholding agent will (i) make any such withholding or deduction required by applicable law and (ii) timely remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law. The Payor, or the applicable withholding agent, will make reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes. The Payor, or the applicable withholding agent, will provide to the Trustee, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld are due pursuant to applicable law, either a certified copy of tax receipts evidencing such payment, or, if such tax receipts are not reasonably available to the Payor, such other documentation that provides reasonable evidence of such payment by the Payor.

(d) Where Tax is payable pursuant to Regulation 803 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) by a Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes in respect of any amount payable under the Notes or any Note Guarantee to the Holder (other than by reason of a transfer of the Notes to a person resident in Canada with whom the transferor does not deal at arm’s length for the purposes of such Act), but no Additional Amount is paid in respect of such Tax, the Payor will pay as or on account of interest to the Holder an amount equal to such Tax (a “Regulation 803 Reimbursement”) plus an amount equal to any Tax required to be paid by the Holder or beneficial owner as a result of such Regulation 803 Reimbursement within 45 days after receiving from the Holder a notice containing reasonable particulars of the Tax so payable, provided such Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to receive Additional Amounts on account of such Tax (and only to the extent of such Additional Amounts that such Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to receive) but for the fact that it is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee.

(e) The Payor will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable prior to the date on which such payments will be made, and the amounts so payable, and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee (or applicable paying agent) to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Any such Officers’ Certificate will be delivered a reasonable amount of time in advance of when the payments in question are required to be made (unless a shorter period of time is acceptable to the Trustee). The Payor will promptly publish a notice in accordance with Section 11.2 hereof stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and describing the obligation to pay such amounts.

90

(f) The Payors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Holders or beneficial owners of Notes, upon written request of such Holder or beneficial owner of Notes and certified proof of payment for the amount of (i) any Taxes levied or imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and payable by such Holder or beneficial owner in connection with payments made under or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee; and (ii) any Taxes levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing subclause (i) or this subclause (ii), so that the net amount received by such Holder or beneficial owner after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount such Holder or beneficial owner would have received if the Taxes giving rise to the reimbursement described in clauses (i) and/or (ii) had not been imposed; provided, however, that the indemnification obligation provided for in this Section 4.18(f) shall not extend to Taxes imposed for which the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes would not have been eligible to receive payment of Additional Amounts hereunder by virtue of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 4.18(b) hereof, or to the extent such Holder or beneficial owner received Additional Amounts with respect to such payments.

(g) In addition, the Payor will pay any stamp, issue, registration, court, documentary, excise or other similar taxes, charges and duties, including interest and penalties with respect thereto, imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at any time in respect of the execution, issuance, registration or delivery of the Notes or any Note Guarantee or any other document or instrument referred to thereunder and any such taxes, charges or duties imposed by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction at any time as a result of, or in connection with, (i) any payments made pursuant to the Notes or any Note Guarantee or any other such document or instrument referred to thereunder and/or (ii) the enforcement of the Notes or any Note Guarantee or any other such document or instrument referred to thereunder.

(h) The obligations described under this Section 4.18 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Person, to any Payor and to any jurisdiction in which such successor is organized, carrying on business or is otherwise resident for Tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by such successor or its respective agents.

(i) Whenever this Indenture refers to, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note or under any Note Guarantee, such reference includes the payment of Additional Amounts or other payments that would be payable pursuant to this Section 4.18, if applicable.

Section 4.19 After-Acquired Property.

(a) Promptly following (but so long as the Credit Agreement is outstanding in no circumstance sooner than required with respect to the Credit Agreement) the acquisition by the Issuer or any Note Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property that is required to become Collateral under this Indenture or any Collateral Document or upon any new Subsidiary becoming a Note Guarantor, the Issuer or such Note Guarantor shall, subject to the limitations set forth herein, including the remaining clauses below, (i) provide a Lien over such property consistent with the Liens granted over similar property in the applicable jurisdiction (or in the case of any jurisdiction where no Liens were previously granted, to the extent customary and reasonably achievable under applicable local law) (or, in the case of a new Note Guarantor, all of its property (other than Excluded Assets) consistent with the Liens granted over similar property in the applicable jurisdiction (or in the case of any jurisdiction where no Liens were previously granted, to the extent customary and reasonably achievable under applicable local law)) in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent and (ii) execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements, certificates and opinions of counsel as shall be necessary to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected security interest, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such After-Acquired Property or in the Collateral of such Note Guarantor and to have such After-Acquired Property or such Collateral (but subject to the limitations set forth in the Collateral Documents and/or otherwise in this Indenture) added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property or Collateral to the same extent and with the same force and effect; provided, however, that if granting such security interest in such After-Acquired Property or Collateral requires the consent of a third party, to the extent such actions are also taken with respect to the Credit Agreement, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent with respect to the security interest in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders of the Notes; provided further, however, that if such third party does not consent to the granting of such security interest after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as the case may be, will not be required to provide such security interest.

91

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents to the contrary, in addition to the other exceptions and limitations described in the Collateral Documents, and notwithstanding any action that is taken in favor of the lenders under the Credit Agreement, in no event shall the Issuer or any Note Guarantor be required to (x) create any security interests in assets located, titled, registered or filed outside of the Covered Jurisdictions or to perfect such security interests, (y) deliver (A) control agreements, (B) landlord waivers, (C) bailee letters, (D) other similar third party documents, or (E) security agreements, pledge agreements, or share charge (or mortgage) agreements (or similar agreements) governed under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the Covered Jurisdictions or (z) take any other action not taken pursuant to the Credit Agreement (so long as it is outstanding). In addition, in no event shall the Issuer or any Note Guarantor be required to grant liens or take any action to perfect liens on any real estate other than Material Real Estate Assets.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents to the contrary, so long as the Credit Agreement is outstanding, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors will not be required to grant liens on any asset in any jurisdiction where such assets can be pledged to only one secured party pursuant to local laws governing such collateral or local practice applicable to such collateral.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents to the contrary, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors will not be required to (i) perfect by control any security interest in deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodities accounts or similar accounts or (ii) perfect a security interest in any asset if such asset does not constitute “Collateral” (or an equivalent term) under the Credit Agreement security documents or where the Issuer and the Note Guarantors are not required to take such actions under the Credit Agreement security documents.

(e) Any Collateral Document may provide that the amount recoverable in respect of the Collateral provided by the Note Guarantors will be limited as necessary to (1) prevent such Collateral from being in breach of any applicable law, (2) avoid any general legal limitations such as general statutory limitations, financial assistance, corporate benefit, “thin capitalization” rules, retention of title claims or similar matters or (3) avoid a conflict with the fiduciary duties of such company’s directors, contravention of any legal prohibition or regulatory condition, or the material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officers or directors, in each case as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion.

(f) The limitations set forth in clauses (b) through (e) above are referred to as the “Applicable Collateral Limitations.”

Section 4.20 Additional Material Real Estate Assets. In the event that the Issuer or any Note Guarantor acquires a Material Real Estate Asset or a Real Estate Asset owned or leased on the Issue Date becomes a Material Real Estate Asset and such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of First Lien Notes Secured Parties, then the Issuer or such Note Guarantor shall, subject to the Applicable Collateral Limitations, promptly take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such mortgages, documents, instruments and agreements necessary to make such Lien a valid and perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such Material Real Estate Asset and deliver such Opinions of Counsel and certificates as are customary in such jurisdictions.

Section 4.21 No Impairment of the Security Interests. Except as otherwise permitted under this Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted by this Indenture), the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, none of the Issuer nor any of the Note Guarantors shall be permitted to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes.

(a) The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate, amalgamate, or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving Person) or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(i) either (x) the Issuer is the surviving Person; or (y) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is organized and validly existing under the laws of the U.S., any state of the U.S. or the District of Columbia or under the laws of Canada or any province thereof, the United Kingdom, any member state of the European Union as in effect on the Issue Date, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, any Channel Island or Switzerland (provided that if such entity is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation);

(ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture and the applicable Collateral Documents;

(iii) immediately after such transaction, no Event of Default exists;

(iv) either (a) the Issuer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Issuer), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made shall, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.9(a) hereof or (b) the Issuer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made would, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have an Interest Coverage Ratio for such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries that would be equal to or greater than such ratio for such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such action or have a Total Leverage Ratio for such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries that would be equal to or lower than such ratio for such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such action; and

(v) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, complies with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

(b) The Issuer may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

93

(c) The Issuer will not permit any Note Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, (1) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into another Person; or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose (collectively, “dispose”) of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to another Person unless:

(i) except in the case of a Note Guarantor (x) that has disposed of all or substantially all of its assets, whether through a merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or assets or (y) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its Capital Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Issuer, in both cases in compliance with Section 4.13 hereof, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not such Note Guarantor) shall expressly assume, by a guarantee agreement and applicable Collateral Documents, all the obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee; and

(ii) immediately after such transaction, no Event of Default exists.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate or amalgamate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or any Note Guarantor and (B) the Issuer may merge or amalgamate with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in another jurisdiction within the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, Canada or any province thereof, the United Kingdom, any member state of the European Union as in effect on the Issue Date, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, any Channel Island, Singapore or Switzerland or converting the Issuer into a limited liability company organized under the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, Canada or any province thereof, the United Kingdom, any member state of the European Union as in effect on the Issue Date, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, any Channel Island, Singapore or Switzerland (provided that a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Issuer may consummate a Permitted Reorganization. If in connection with such Permitted Reorganization, a new company is created that directly or indirectly wholly owns the Issuer, then, so long as such new company is an obligor on the Notes (as an issuer or guarantor), the Issuer may choose to have the covenants in this Indenture apply from and after such time to such new company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, rather than to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and all references thereafter in the Notes, this Indenture and the Collateral Documents to the Issuer shall refer to such company.

Section 5.2 Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation of the Issuer with, or merger or amalgamation of the Issuer into, any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1 Events of Default. Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

(a) default in the payment of any principal of (including, without limitation, any premium, if any, on) the Notes when the same becomes due and payable (whether at maturity, upon a Redemption Date, Change of Control Purchase Date, Purchase Date or otherwise);

(b) default in the payment of any interest payable on Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(c) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries:

(i) to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.8, 3.14 or 4.13 of this Indenture, which failure remains uncured for 30 days after written notice to the Issuer from the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; or

94

(ii) to comply with Section 5.1 of this Indenture;

(d) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to comply with any of the other covenants contained in the Notes, the Collateral Documents or this Indenture and the default continues for 60 days (or 120 days in the case of the provisions of Section 4.3) after written notice to the Issuer from the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee from the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;

(e) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) (other than Indebtedness held exclusively by an Affiliate of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

(i) is caused by a failure to pay principal when due on such Indebtedness within any applicable grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

(ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates to the greater of $150.0 million and 20.0% of LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or more;

(f) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of the greater of $150.0 million and 20.0% of LTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, which judgments are not paid, discharged, stayed or subject to insurance for a period of 60 days after becoming final;

(g) any Note Guarantee by a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect in all material respects (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any Note Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms such Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture or any Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after receipt of the notice as specified in this Indenture;

(h) unless such Liens have been released in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents, Liens with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral cease to be valid or enforceable, or the Issuer shall assert or any Note Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interests are invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Note Guarantor, the Issuer fails to cause such Note Guarantor to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Issuer has actual knowledge of such assertions;

(i) the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; and

95

(j) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding;

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

and in each case the order or decree described in this clause (j) remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

Any notice given pursuant to Section 6.1(d) hereof must be in writing and must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” When any Default under this Section 6.1 is cured, it ceases.

Section 6.2 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.1 hereof with respect to the Issuer) with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, declare all unpaid principal to the date of acceleration on the Notes then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable upon any such declaration, and the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.1 hereof with respect to the Issuer occurs, all unpaid principal (including, without limitation, any premium, if any, then outstanding), and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if (a) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Notes which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (c) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (in each of its capacities hereunder, including as Notes Collateral Agent) under Section 7.6 hereof in respect of the Notes have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to such notice of Default.

Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (other than any Holder that is a Regulated Bank) (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to the Issuer and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of such Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee and DTC shall be

96

entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to the acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder providing such Noteholder Direction was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and the Issuer provides to the Trustee (a) an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Issuer has a good faith reasonable basis to believe that one or more Directing Holders were at any relevant time in breach of their Position Representation or their Verification Covenant and (b) evidence that the Issuer has filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the Trustee such Officers’ Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Directing Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Directing Holder, the percentage of the Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio (other than any indemnity and/or security such Directing Holder may have offered or provided to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent), with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred. If the Directing Holder has satisfied its Verification Covenant (and the Issuer has not determined in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe such Verification Covenant has not been satisfied as set forth above), then the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, shall be permitted to act in accordance with such Noteholder Direction. Notwithstanding the above, if such Directing Holder’s participation is not required to achieve the requisite level of consent of Holders required under this Indenture to give such Noteholder Direction, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, shall be permitted to act in accordance with such Noteholder Direction notwithstanding any action taken or to be taken by the Issuer (as described above). In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank; provided that if a Regulated Bank is a Directing Holder or a beneficial owner directing DTC, it shall provide a written representation to the Issuer that it is a Regulated Bank.

For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to monitor, investigate, verify or otherwise determine if a Holder has a Net Short Position or to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation or determine whether it complies with the provisions of this Indenture, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, monitor any court proceedings undertaken in connection therewith, inquire if the Issuer will seek action to determine if a Directing Holder has breached its Position Representation, monitor or investigate whether any Default or Event of Default has been publicly reported, verify any statements in any Officers’ Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise and shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action or staying any remedy, staying any remedy or otherwise failing to act in accordance with a Noteholder Direction as provided for herein. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall have any liability to the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction, or for determining whether any Holder has delivered a Position Representation, such Position Representation conforms with the requirements of this Indenture or any other agreement or any Holder is a Regulated Bank.

Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent (nor any agent) shall be liable to any person for acting or refraining to act in accordance with (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2, (ii) any Noteholder Direction, (iii) any Officers’ Certificate or (iv) its duties under this Indenture, as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, if applicable, may determine in its sole discretion.

Section 6.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing in respect of the Notes, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Notes or this Indenture.

97

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder 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 6.4 Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default. Subject to Sections 6.7 and 9.2 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes when due or any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes which, under Section 9.2 hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder). When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases.

Section 6.5 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy or power available to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines, in consultation with its counsel conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder of Notes (it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to determine if a directed action is prejudicial to any Holders) or the Trustee , or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any such action under this Section 6.5, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) that may be caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.6 Limitations on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (except actions for payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) unless:

(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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

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

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, with respect to the Notes, the contractual right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of, or interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and this Indenture and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.1 hereof occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or another obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue principal and overdue installments of interest, in each case at a rate equal to the interest rate then in effect on such Note and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

98

Section 6.9 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 and the Notes Collateral Agent (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, and the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of their agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent under Section 7.6 hereof, and to the extent that such payment of the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or, on behalf of any Holder, to authorize, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes 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 or the Notes Collateral Agent collect any money pursuant to this Article 6, including upon realization of the Collateral, but subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First, to the Trustee (in each of its capacities hereunder) and the Notes Collateral Agent for amounts due under this Indenture, without limitation, under Section 7.6 hereof, and the other Note Documents;

Second, to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest respectively; and

Third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds to the payment to or upon the order of the applicable Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as 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 made by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 6.12 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.7 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

99

Section 6.13 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(j) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and under the other Notes Documents, including as Notes Collateral Agent, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(k) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, punitive, indirect, 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.

(l) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, any epidemics, pandemics or similar outbreaks of infectious disease, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(m) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein and in the other Note Documents shall not be construed as duties.

(n) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

Section 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.9 and 7.10 hereof.

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of authentication. The Trustee does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any Note Guarantor under any Notes Documents. The Trustee shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Notes Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Trustee under or in connection with, any Notes Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under the Notes Documents.

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default at its Corporate Trust Office and such notice references the Notes, the Issuer and this Indenture, the Trustee shall notify each Noteholder of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it is known by the Trustee. However, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of Noteholders, except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of the principal (including premium, if any) of or interest on any Note.

Section 7.6 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer and each Note Guarantor, jointly severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation (as agreed to from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee in writing) for its services (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Issuer, and each Note Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it. Such expenses may include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

102

Each of the Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.6 shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee, including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture or any action or failure to act as authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon the Trustee hereunder or thereunder including the costs and expenses of the Trustee and the reasonable costs and expenses of its counsel in defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or thereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement effected without its prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Issuer need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the Trustee shall have a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except such money or property held in trust to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.6 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.1 hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law to the extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

Section 7.7 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9 hereof;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

(c) a Custodian or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. The resignation or removal of a Trustee shall not be effective until a successor Trustee shall have delivered the written acceptance of its appointment as described below.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 45 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuer.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9 hereof, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

103

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges hereunder, shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee of the Notes to the successor Trustee and be released from its obligations (exclusive of any liabilities that the retiring Trustee may have incurred while acting as Trustee) hereunder, 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 of the Notes under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each affected Holder.

Section 7.8 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets (including the administration of this Indenture) to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, without any further act, shall be the successor Trustee, provided such transferee corporation shall qualify and be eligible under Section 7.9 hereof. Such successor Trustee shall promptly mail notice of its succession to the Issuer and each affected Holder.

Section 7.9 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall always satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (1), (2) and (5) of TIA Section 310(a). The Trustee (or its parent holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to satisfy any such requirements, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article 7. The Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of TIA Section 310(b).

Section 7.10 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders hereby authorize and direct the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver a joinder to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any joinders thereto (and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or other applicable intercreditor agreements referred to herein from time to time) and any other Collateral Documents in which the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, including any Collateral Documents executed after the Issue Date. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose.

Each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes agrees that upon the Notes Collateral Agent’s entry into the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in their capacity as holders of Senior Class Debt and Additional First Lien Secured Parties (as each such term is defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement).

Upon delivery of the aforementioned Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may request an opinion of counsel stating that they are authorized to enter into an intercreditor agreement and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to the execution and delivery of such intercreditor agreement have been complied with.

109

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

Section 9.3 Notice of Amendment, Supplement or Waiver. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.

Section 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder.

Section 9.6 Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, Etc.

If it does, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent (as applicable) may, in its sole discretion, but need not sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent (as applicable) shall be provided with and, subject to Section 7.1 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate stating that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and all conditions precedent in this Indenture to such execution have been complied with.

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.1 Note Guarantees.

(a) Each of the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally Guarantees (and subject in each case to the Agreed Guarantee Principles set forth in any notation of Note Guarantee, supplemental indenture, or as contemplated by Section 4.14(c) hereof) to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder that: (i) the due and punctual payment

110

of principal, premium and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, (ii) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee (in each of its capacities hereunder, including, without limitation, as Notes Collateral Agent) under this Indenture or any Note shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (iii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Note Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Note Guarantor shall agree that this is a Guarantee of payment and not a Guarantee of collection.

(b) Each of the Note Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to its Guarantee shall be joint and several, unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Note Guarantor. Each Note Guarantor further, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and relinquishes all claims, rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such claims, rights or remedies, including but not limited to: (i) any right to require any of the Trustee, the Holders or the Issuer (each a “Benefited Party”), as a condition of payment or performance by such Note Guarantor, to (A) proceed against the Issuer, any other guarantor (including any other Note Guarantor) of the obligations under the Note Guarantees or any other person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Issuer, any such other guarantor or any other person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Benefited Party in favor of the Issuer or any other person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Benefited Party whatsoever; (ii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Issuer including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the obligations under the Note Guarantees or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Issuer from any cause other than payment in full of the obligations under the Note Guarantees; (iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (iv) any defense based upon any Benefited Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the obligations under the Note Guarantees, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (v) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of the Note Guarantees and any legal or equitable discharge of such Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder and under its Note Guarantee, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Note Guarantor’s liability hereunder and under its Note Guarantee or the enforcement hereof and thereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Benefited Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (vi) notices, demands, presentations, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of the Note Guarantees, notices of default under the Notes or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the obligations under the Note Guarantees or any agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit to the Issuer and any right to consent to any thereof; (vii) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of any “One Action” rule; and (viii) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Note Guarantees. Except as set forth in Section 10.5 hereof, each Note Guarantor covenants that its Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in its Note Guarantee and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Note Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Note Guarantors, any amount paid to either the Trustee or such Holder, any Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

111

(d) Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Note Guarantor shall further agree that, as between the Note Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.2 hereof for the purposes of any Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Note Guarantors for the purpose of any such Guarantee. The Note Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Note Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the applicable Guarantee.

Section 10.2 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantees. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, each Note Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (as modified to reflect Agreed Guarantee Principles to the extent contemplated by Section 4.14(c) hereof), shall be endorsed by an officer of such Note Guarantor, which notation shall be applicable to each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Note Guarantor by any of its Officers. Each of the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse a notation of such Note Guarantee. If an officer or Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee of a Note Guarantor no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates a Note, the Note Guarantee of such Note Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantees set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Note Guarantors.

Section 10.3 Limitation on Note Guarantor Liability. Each Note Guarantor confirms, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder hereby confirms, that it is the intention of all such parties that any Guarantee of such Note Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar applicable law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee and the Holders irrevocably agree, and the Note Guarantors irrevocably agree, that the obligations of such Note Guarantor under this Article 10 shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Note Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.4 Merger and Consolidation of Note Guarantors.

(a) In case of any sale or other disposition, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Note Guarantor, such successor person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Note Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Note Guarantor. Such successor person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes available hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

(b) Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding Section 10.4(a), nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Note Guarantor with or into another Person, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Note Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

112

Section 10.5 Release.

(a) In the event (i) of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Note Guarantor, by way of merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all the Equity Interests of any Note Guarantor, then held by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries to a person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a Subsidiary of the Issuer, in each case so long as such sale or other disposition is permitted by this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.13 hereof, (ii) of a designation by the Issuer of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Note Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the definition thereof or in the event that such Note Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, upon effectiveness of such designation or when it first ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, respectively, or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, (iii) in the case of any Note Guarantee issued on the Issue Date (or required but issued thereafter pursuant to Section 4.14(a) hereof), upon the release or discharge of the Note Guarantee by such Note Guarantor in respect of the Credit Agreement, and, in any other case, upon the release or discharge of any Note Guarantee in respect of any Indebtedness that resulted in the issuance after the Issue Date of the Note Guarantee by such Note Guarantor, (iv) of the occurrence of a Fall Away Event or (v) the Issuer discharges the Notes and its Obligations under this Indenture under Section 8.1 hereof or exercises its legal or covenant defeasance options under Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, respectively, with respect to the Notes, such Note Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee without any further action being required by the Trustee or any Holder. If the Issuer discharges this Indenture under Section 8.1 hereof or exercises its legal or covenant defeasance options under Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, respectively, the Issuer and each Note Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee without any further action being required by the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Sections 4.8 and 4.13 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Note Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee.

Section 11.15 Calculations in Respect of the Notes.

(a) All financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Indenture shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature that are used in calculating the Total Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated Net Income shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with GAAP.

(b) All terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (previously referred to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159) (or any other Accounting Standards Codification, International Accounting Standard or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Issuer or any subsidiary at “fair value,” as defined therein, (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification, International Accounting Standard or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof and (iii) the application of Accounting Standards Codification 480, 815, 805 and 718 (to the extent these pronouncements under Accounting Standards Codification 718 result in recording an equity award as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the circumstance where, but for the application of the pronouncements, such award would have been classified as equity).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to clauses (e), (g) and (h) of this Section 11.15, all financial ratios and tests based on the Total Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA contained in this Indenture that are calculated with respect to any period during which any Subject Transaction occurs shall be calculated with respect to such period and such Subject Transaction on a Pro Forma Basis. Further, if since the beginning of any such period and on or prior to the date of any required calculation of any financial ratio, test or amount (1) any Subject Transaction has occurred or (2) any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period has consummated any Subject Transaction, then, in each case, any applicable financial ratio, test or amount shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for such period as if such Subject Transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable period (or, in the case of any determination pertaining to the balance sheet, including the acquisition of Cash and Cash Equivalents, as of the last day of such period).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.15(a) or in the definition of “Finance Lease”, unless the Issuer elects otherwise, all obligations of any Person that are or would have been treated as operating leases for purposes of GAAP prior to the issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on February 25, 2016 of an Accounting Standards Update (the “ASU”) shall continue to be accounted for as operating leases (and not be treated as financing or capital lease obligations or Indebtedness) for purposes of all financial definitions, calculations and deliverables under this Indenture and any Collateral Document (including the calculation of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA) (whether or not such operating lease obligations were in effect on such date) notwithstanding the fact that such obligations are required in accordance with the ASU or any other change in accounting treatment or otherwise (on a prospective or retroactive basis or otherwise) to be treated as or to be recharacterized as financing or capital lease obligations or otherwise accounted for as liabilities in financial statements.

(e) For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or financial test (including any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) and/or the amount of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Net Income, such financial ratio, financial test or amount shall, subject to the next paragraph below, be

117

calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio, financial test or amount occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.

(f) The Issuer shall make all calculations under this Indenture and the Notes in good faith. In the absence of manifest error, such calculations shall be final and binding on all Holders. The Issuer shall provide a copy of such calculations to the Trustee as required hereunder or if required by the Trustee.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including in connection with any calculation made on a Pro Forma Basis), to the extent that the terms of this Indenture require (1) compliance with any financial ratio or financial test (including, without limitation, any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, (2) the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of default or event of default) or (3) compliance with any basket or other condition, as a condition to (a) the consummation of any transaction (including in connection with any acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment or the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness), and/or (b) the making of any Restricted Payment, the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Issuer, (i) in the case of any acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment, any Asset Sale, any incurrence of Indebtedness or any transaction relating thereto, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended four quarter period available at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition, consolidation, business combination, similar Investment or Asset Sale (or, solely in connection with an acquisition, consolidation or business combination to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 Announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer is made) or the establishment of a commitment with respect to such Indebtedness or (y) the consummation of such acquisition, consolidation, business combination, Investment or Asset Sale or incurrence of such Indebtedness, (ii) in the case of any Restricted Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended four quarter period available at the time of) (x) the declaration of, or delivery of notice with respect to, as applicable, such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment, in each case, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the relevant acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment, incurrence of Indebtedness and/or Restricted Payment or other transaction (including the intended use of proceeds of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith) and, at the election of the Issuer, any other acquisition, consolidation, business combination or similar Investment, Restricted Payment, incurrence of Indebtedness or other transaction that has not been consummated but with respect to which definitive agreements have been executed, and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of an adverse change in such ratio, test or condition occurring after the time such election is made (but any subsequent improvement in the applicable ratio, test or amount may be utilized by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer shall have elected any option set forth in this Section 11.15(g) in respect of any transaction, then the Issuer or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to consummate such transaction even if any applicable test or condition shall cease to be satisfied subsequent to the Issuer’s election of such option.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless the Issuer otherwise elects, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Indenture that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, and any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Indenture that requires compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including any Secured Leverage Ratio test, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Interest Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that (1) the incurrence of the Incurrence-Based Amount shall be calculated first without giving effect to any Fixed Amount but giving full pro forma effect to the use of proceeds of such Fixed Amount and the related transactions and (2) the incurrence of the Fixed Amount shall be calculated thereafter. Unless the Issuer elects otherwise, the Issuer shall be deemed to have used amounts under an Incurrence-Based Amount then available to the Issuer prior to utilization of any amount under a Fixed Amount then available to the Issuer.

118

(i) The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Issuer dated such date prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(j) Any increase in any amount of Indebtedness or any increase in any amount secured by any Lien by virtue of the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or a dividend in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and/or any increase in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of any fluctuation in the exchange rate of any applicable currency shall be deemed to be permitted Indebtedness for purposes of Section 4.9 without utilizing any basket thereunder and will be deemed not to be the granting of a Lien for purposes of Section 4.10.

(k) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.9 and Section 4.10, if any Indebtedness or Lien is incurred in reliance on a basket measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (including a ratio based on Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA), and any refinancing or replacement thereof would cause the percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA on the date of such refinancing or replacement, such percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA will be deemed not to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing or replacement Indebtedness or other obligation does not exceed an amount sufficient to repay the principal amount of such Indebtedness or other obligation being refinanced or replaced, except by an amount equal to (1) unpaid accrued interest, penalties and premiums (including tender, prepayment or repayment premiums) thereon plus underwriting discounts and other customary fees, commissions and expenses (including upfront fees, original issue discount or initial yield payment) incurred in connection with such refinancing or replacement and (2) additional amounts permitted to be incurred under Section 4.9.

(l) Any financial ratios required to satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Indenture shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

Section 11.16 Agent for Service and Waiver of Immunities. By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer and each Note Guarantor that is not a Domestic Subsidiary does, and with respect to any entity that becomes a Note Guarantor after the date hereof and is not a Domestic Subsidiary, within 10 days of becoming a Note Guarantor, as applicable, will, (i) acknowledge that they will designate and appoint Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc., 400 Somerset Corporate Boulevard, Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807, or another Person satisfactory to the Trustee (the “Authorized Agent”), as their authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes that may be instituted in any federal or state court in the State of New York or brought under federal or state securities laws, and acknowledge that the Authorized Agent has accepted such designation, (ii) submit to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit or proceeding, and (iii) agree that service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of said service to the Issuer or the Note Guarantor that is not a Domestic Subsidiary, as applicable, in accordance with Section 11.2 hereof shall be deemed effective service of process in any such suit or proceeding. The Issuer and each Note Guarantor that is not a Domestic Subsidiary further agrees to take any reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of the Authorized Agent in full force and effect so long as any of the Notes shall be outstanding; provided, however, that the Issuer and each Note Guarantor that is not a Domestic Subsidiary, as applicable, may, by written notice to the Trustee, designate such additional or alternative agent for service of process under this Section 11.16 that (i) maintains an office located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in the State of New York, (ii) is either (x) counsel for the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as applicable or (y) a corporate service company which acts as agent for service of process for other persons in the ordinary course of its business and (iii) agrees to act as agent for service of process in accordance with this Section 11.16. Such written notice shall identify the name of such agent for process and the address of the office of such agent for process in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York. Upon the written request of any Holder, the Trustee shall deliver a copy of such notice to such Holder.

119

Section 11.17 Judgment Currency. The Issuer and each Note Guarantor shall indemnify each Holder and each Person, if any, who controls any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any loss incurred by such party as a result of any judgment or order being given or made against the Issuer or any Note Guarantor for any U.S. dollar amount due under this Indenture and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in The City of New York at which such party on the date of payment of such judgment or order is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such party if such party had utilized such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase U.S. dollars upon such party’s receipt thereof. The foregoing indemnity shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “spot rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, U.S. dollars.

Section 11.18 Foreign Currency Equivalent. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction or amount, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of any amount denominated in a foreign currency will be the Dollar Equivalent calculated on the date the Indebtedness was incurred or other transaction was entered into; provided, that if any Refinancing Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars is incurred to refinance Indebtedness denominated in the same currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated on the date of such refinancing, such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed not to exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no restriction or amount will be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. In no event will the Trustee or the Paying Agent be responsible for obtaining exchange rates or otherwise effecting currency conversions or calculations.

Section 11.19 Usury Savings Clause. If any provision of this Indenture or any Note would obligate the Issuer to make any payment of or on account of interest or other amount in an amount or calculated at a rate which would result in a receipt by any Holder of interest at a criminal rate (as such term is construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not so result in a receipt by such Holder of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Holder, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Holder which would constitute “interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

Section 11.20 Interest Act (Canada). For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided for in this Indenture and any Note (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 360 day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so provided for multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or the actual number of days in such other period of time, respectively. Each of the Issuer and each Note Guarantor confirms that it understands and acknowledges that it is and will be able to calculate the rate of interest applicable under this Indenture and any Note based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for under this Indenture or the Notes. Each of the Issuer and each Note Guarantor confirms that it agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Indenture or any Note, that the interest payable under this Indenture or any Note and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Issuer or Note Guarantor, as applicable, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.

Section 11.21 Tax Matters. Each of the parties hereto agree to cooperate and to provide the other with such information as each may have in its possession to enable the determination of whether any payments pursuant to this Indenture are subject to the withholding requirements described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations, or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof (“Applicable Law”). The Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as obligating the Trustee to make any “gross up” payment or similar reimbursement in connection with a payment in respect of which amounts are so withheld or deducted or affecting a Payor’s obligation to make any payments of Additional Amount pursuant to Section 4.18 of this Indenture. The terms of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

The terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement are hereby ratified and approved by the Trustee on its own behalf and on behalf of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties in all respects and the Trustee on its own behalf and on behalf of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties directs the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee to bind themselves to the terms thereof on behalf of the Trustee and the First Lien Notes Secured Parties.

(b) To the extent any assets owned by the Issuer or any Note Guarantor on the Issue Date (other than Excluded Assets) are not subject to a valid Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent on or prior to the Issue Date or subject to a Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent that is not perfected on or prior to the Issue Date, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into Collateral Documents to create such Liens (including all Collateral Documents governed by the laws of each Covered Jurisdiction, except where pursuant to laws governing such assets or local practice applicable to such assets, such assets that were pledged to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent are not capable of being pledged to the Notes Collateral Agent at the same time) and have all such Liens and any Liens created but not perfected (including by appropriate filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office) on or prior to the Issue Date perfected, subject to any limitations set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, including the Applicable Collateral Limitations, within 120 days after the Issue Date.

122

(D) that is otherwise released in accordance with, and as expressly provided for by the terms of, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents,

provided that, in the case of clause (iv)(A)(II), the proceeds of such Shared Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Collateral Document or in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, but without limiting any automatic release provided hereunder or under any Collateral Document, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until it receives such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

Section 12.3 Suits to Protect the Collateral. Subject to the provisions of Article 7 hereof and the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, may or may instruct the Notes Collateral Agent in writing to take all actions it reasonably determines are necessary in order to:

(a) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and

(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect their respective interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.3 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

Section 12.4 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents. Subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 12.5 Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser or other transferee in good faith of any property or asset purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property, asset or rights permitted by this Article 12 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer or the applicable Note Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

Section 12.6 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 12 upon the Issuer or a Note Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property or asset may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Note Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12; and if the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent.

123

Section 12.7 Release Upon Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations. In the event that the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes and all other First Priority Notes Obligations that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid or (ii) the Issuer shall have exercised its Legal Defeasance option or their Covenant Defeasance option, in each case in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as applicable, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such notice by the Trustee have been satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Notes Collateral Agent a notice, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent, stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral solely on behalf of the Holders of the Notes without representation, warranty or recourse (other than with respect to funds held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as applicable), and any rights it has under the Collateral Documents solely on behalf of the Holders of the Notes and upon receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of such notice, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and shall execute and deliver all documents and do or cause to be done (at the expense of the Issuer) all acts reasonably requested by the Issuer to release, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, and discharge such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.

Section 12.8 Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, hereby designates and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, and each of the Issuer and the Trustee directs and authorizes and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, and consents and agrees to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and each Collateral Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms or the terms of this Indenture. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.8. The provisions of this Section 12.8 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee (as applicable) and none of any of the Holders nor any of the Grantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein unless expressly extended to them. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, and/or the applicable Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

124

(b) The Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates, (a “Related Person”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith.

(c) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in final non-appealable decision) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, any Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.

(d) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct) to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Grantor), independent accountants and/or other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any discretionary action under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement unless it shall first receive such written advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests in the case of such written advice or concurrence of the Holders, it shall first be indemnified and/or provided with security to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected from claims by any Holders in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Notes Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

125

(e) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, the Notes or the Issuer, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.8).

(f) The Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor (at the expense of the Issuer). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.8 (and Section 7.6) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(g) Citibank, N.A., acting through its Agency & Trust division, shall initially act as Notes Collateral Agent and the Issuer and each of the Holders by its acceptance of the Notes, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, hereby authorizes the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, respectively, to appoint co-Notes Collateral Agents, sub-agents and other additional Notes Collateral Agents (and, in each case, appointment of such person shall be reflected in documentation, which the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to enter into). Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision.

(h) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement.

(i) [Reserved].

(j) If applicable, the Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon written request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s instructions.

126

(k) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Collateral Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder, or any other Notes Collateral Agents (if any), as to any of the foregoing.

(l) If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Priority Obligations at any time when no First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Priority Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, or incurs any other obligations permitted hereunder and required to be subject to an intercreditor agreement, and (ii) delivers to the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate so stating and requesting the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other applicable Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the Holders of the First Priority Obligations so incurred, or on reasonable and customary terms with respect to any other such intercreditor agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee (as applicable) shall (and are hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(m) If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of Indebtedness on which a junior lien on the Collateral is to be granted, and (ii) delivers to the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate so stating and requesting the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (including any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement) with a designated agent or representative for the Holders of such Indebtedness or other obligations so incurred, and stating that such intercreditor agreement is on customary terms (as determined by the Issuer), the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee (as applicable) shall (and are hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(n) No provision of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral Document shall require the Notes Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Notes Collateral Agent) unless it shall have first received indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral 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 the 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. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this paragraph (n) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer, the Notes Guarantors, or the Holders to be sufficient.

127

(o) The Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision), (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent need (a) shall be held uninvested without liability for interest, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (b) shall be held in a non-interest bearing trust account and (c) not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(p) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(q) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, any Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, any Collateral Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, and any Collateral Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Notes, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Notes, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Notes, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting its obligations as expressly set forth herein, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Trustee (acting at the written instruction of the Holders) or the Holders with respect to the administration of the Notes Documents.

(r) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, the

128

Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. However, if the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to care out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another or pursuant to this Indenture which in the Trustee’s or the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion may cause the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any equivalent federal, state or local law, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Notes Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary, in connection with an exercise of remedies, for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuer or the Guarantors, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall direct the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee in writing to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.

(s) Upon the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral Document to be executed after the Issue Date; provided that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute or enter into any such Collateral Document which, in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion adversely affects the rights, duties, liabilities, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities of the Notes Collateral Agent or that the Notes Collateral Agent reasonably determines involves the Notes Collateral Agent in personal liability. Such Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12.8(s), and (ii) instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document. Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the written direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent (if any) to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.

(t) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, or joinder or similar agreements in respect thereof, to which it is (or is to be) a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto (including any releases permitted hereunder), and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise discretion under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement 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 Notes or the Trustee, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or in any Collateral Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, authorizes and directs the Trustee to execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in its capacity as Authorized Representative (as defined therein) and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental to each of the foregoing, and act in accordance with the respective terms thereof.

129

(u) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement.

(v) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and to the extent not prohibited under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 hereof and the other provisions of this Indenture.

(w) In each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Notes Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement to take any discretionary action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral (unless such release or sale is expressly provided for hereunder or thereunder) or otherwise to act in its discretion hereunder or under any other Notes Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. 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 a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. If the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the 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 Notes, and such Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any Collateral Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the other Notes Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC or PPSA financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments (or analogous procedures under the applicable laws in the relevant Covered Jurisdiction)), nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby. Additionally, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be responsible for providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral.

(y) Before the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer, the Note Guarantors, or the Trustee, other than as set forth in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 11.4 hereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(z) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and/or the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders) solely with respect to the Collateral Documents and the Collateral.

(aa) The Issuer shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and indemnify the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof. Accordingly, the reference to the “Trustee” in Section 6.10, Section 7.6 and Section 7.7 hereof shall be deemed to include the reference to the Notes Collateral Agent and Section 7.6 of this Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Notes Collateral Agent in their capacity as such, provided that for the purposes of this Section 12.8(aa).

130

(bb) The Issuer and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes acknowledges and directs that the benefits, indemnities, privileges, protections, and rights of the Notes Collateral Agent shall extend to (and may be claimed directly or by the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of) each sub-agent, as the case may be.

(cc) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have 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 and neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Notes Collateral Agent in good faith.

(dd) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any 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 Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision), for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the applicable 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 Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement or any other Collateral Document.

(ee) The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Notes Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Collateral Documents were named as this Indenture herein. Such rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections of the Notes Collateral Agent extend to the Notes Collateral Agent acting under any of the Collateral Documents.

(ff) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein (but not with respect to express discretions to the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder), whenever reference is made in this Indenture or any Collateral Document, to any discretionary action whether by consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Notes Collateral Agent in its discretion or to any discretionary election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Notes Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such discretionary action if it shall not have received written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Trustee acting at the written direction of the Holders or the Holders or any controlling agent or representative under any intercreditor agreement or Collateral Document in respect of such action (in each case as applicable). The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any actions contemplated above as a result of a failure or delay on the part of the Trustee acting at the written direction of the Holders or the Holders or any controlling agent or representative under any intercreditor agreement or Collateral Document to provide such instruction, advice or concurrence.

131

ARTICLE 13

PARALLEL DEBT

Section 13.1 Purpose; Governing Law. This Article 13 is included in this Indenture solely for the purpose of ensuring the validity and effect of certain security rights governed by the laws of the Netherlands, granted pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not limit the rights and remedies provided to the First Lien Notes Secured Parties by the other provisions hereof and of any of the other Notes Documents.

Section 13.2 Parallel Debt.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and for the purpose of the security rights granted and to be granted under or pursuant to the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of The Netherlands (the “Foreign Security Agreements”), the Issuer and each Note Guarantor that is a party to the Foreign Security Agreements undertake to pay to the Notes Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity as creditor in its own right and not as agent, representative or trustee, as a separate independent obligation to the Notes Collateral Agent, the amount of its Parallel Debt. Moreover, the security rights contemplated by the applicable Foreign Security Agreements are granted in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent in its individual capacity and not as agent, representative or trustee of the Holders of the Notes, as security for its claims under the Parallel Debt and consequently the Notes Collateral Agent becoming the sole security beneficiary of such security rights.

(b) No person shall be obligated to pay any amount representing Parallel Debt unless and until a corresponding amount of the Underlying Debt shall have become due and payable.

(c) To the extent any amount is paid to and received by the Notes Collateral Agent in payment of the Parallel Debt, the total amount due and payable in respect of the Underlying Debt shall be decreased as if such amount were received by the First Lien Notes Secured Parties or any of them in payment of the corresponding Underlying Debt.

Section 13.3 Additional Parallel Debt Provisions. In the case of any Note Guarantor that becomes a Note Guarantor after the Issue Date and is located in a jurisdiction where Parallel Debt provisions are customary or required, the Issuer, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to provide for Parallel Debt, in customary form (as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion) in the supplemental indenture with respect to such Guarantor’s guarantee. The Trustee and the Issuer, without the consent of any Holder, may also incorporate into this Indenture additional Parallel Debt provisions as necessary to address After-Acquired Property in any jurisdiction where no assets are pledged by a guarantor organized therein on the Issue Date.
