40

Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met.  If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Issuer may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee in replacing a Note.  Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

(b)                                  If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the New York UCC.

(c)                                   If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date of such payment.

(d)                                  If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.9.                                  Treasury Notes .  In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice as being so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity. To the extent the Issuer acquires Notes, the Issuer may in its discretion, but is not required to, submit such Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.

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

41

beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.11.                           Cancellation .  All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any current or future sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Notes so delivered to the Trustee shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, cancellation or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires any of the Notes, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may, but are not required to, submit such Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.11, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuer may not issue new Notes or replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall, at the Issuer’s written request, provide certification of the disposal of cancelled Notes.

Section 2.12.                           Interest and Defaulted Interest .

(a)                                  Interest, if any, on the Notes which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.2; provided, however, that each installment of interest, if any, on the Notes may at the Issuer’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.14 or to the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to interest payable on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable payment date.  Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(b)                                  If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1.  The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12.  The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.  The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date.  At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures

42

of the Depositary to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

(c)                                   Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13.                           CUSIP and ISIN Numbers   The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to 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 redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.14.                           Persons Deemed Owners

Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 2.12) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

None of the Issuer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of (i) the records relating to or payments made on account of any participants in the Depositary or any beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records maintained by any Depositary or participant therein or any other Person relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or (iii) any consent given or other action taken by the Depositary or other Holder of a Note, as the registered holder thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Note, 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 any Depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such Global Note or impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Note.

ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.1.                                  Notices to Trustee . If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.7, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) before sending a notice of such redemption to the Holders, a notice setting forth the (i) section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) redemption date and (iii) principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. Any such notice to the Trustee may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

43

Section 3.2.                                  Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed . In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a Global Note will be redeemed by such method as the Depositary may require) unless otherwise required by law or any applicable depositary or stock exchange requirements; provided , however , that no Notes of $2,000 in original principal amount or less shall be selected for redemption in part.

On and after the redemption date, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to this Indenture (including accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 thereof) of the principal of the Notes that have minimum denominations larger than $2,000.

Section 3.3.                                  Notice of Optional Redemption . The Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered in accordance with Section 12.2, a notice of optional redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed (with a copy to the Trustee), at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (except that notices may be delivered more than 60 days before a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a transaction effected pursuant to Article VIII). Any notice of redemption made in connection with a related transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Qualified Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale, financing or other transaction) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion or occurrence of the related transaction or event, as the case may be. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and, if applicable, will state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if as determined in good faith by the Issuer, any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied.  The Issuer will provide the Trustee with written notice of the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions precedent, the delay of such redemption or the rescission of such notice of redemption in the same manner that the related notice of redemption was given to the Trustee, and, at the request of the Issuer, the Trustee will send a copy of such notice to the Trustee to the Holders in the same manner that the related notice of redemption was given to such Holders.  In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including “ CUSIP ” numbers and corresponding “ ISINs ”, if applicable) and shall state:

(3)                                  if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of

44

the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate);

(4)                                  the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(5)                                  that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(6)                                  that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(7)                                  the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

(8)                                  that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

(9)                                  any conditions precedent to such redemption.

At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided , however , that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the giving of the notice of redemption (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in the notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. Any such request to the Trustee may be revoked or cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. The notice sent in the manner herein provided shall be deemed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note. The notice of redemption issued pursuant to Section 3.7(a) need not set forth the Applicable Premium but only the manner of calculation thereof.

Section 3.4.                                  Effect of Notice of Redemption . Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.3, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price, subject to satisfaction of any conditions specified in the notice of redemption.

Section 3.5.                                  Deposit of Redemption Price . On or before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of all Notes to be redeemed.

If Notes called for redemption or tendered in a Collateral Disposition Offer, Net Proceeds Offer or Change of Control Offer are paid or if the Issuer has deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and unpaid and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or tendered and not withdrawn in a Collateral Disposition Offer, Net Proceeds Offer or Change of Control Offer (regardless of whether certificates for such securities are actually surrendered). If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid

45

interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest, if any, not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1.

Section 3.6.                                  Notes Redeemed in Part . Upon surrender and cancellation of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order from the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and canceled; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum denomination of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.7.                                  Optional Redemption .

(a)                                  The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to November 1, 2021 at the option of the Issuer, upon notice as provided in Section 3.3, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date). The Issuer will calculate the Treasury Rate and Applicable Premium and, prior to the redemption date, provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the Treasury Rate and the Applicable Premium and showing the calculation of each in reasonable detail.

(b)                                  At any time or from time to time on or after November 1, 2021, the Issuer, at its option, may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice as provided in Section 3.3, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning November 1 of the years indicated below:

(c)                                   At any time or from time to time prior to November 1, 2021, the Issuer, at its option, may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35.0% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date), upon notice as provided in Section 3.3, in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 111.50% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, 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 that is on or prior to the redemption date); provided that:

(1)                                  at least 65.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture on the Issue Date (but excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after giving effect to any such redemption; and

46

(2)                                  the redemption occurs not more than 180 days after the date of the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

Section 3.8.                                  Special Mandatory Redemption .

(a)                                  In the event that (1) the Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to November 30, 2018 or (2) at any time prior to November 30, 2018, the Acquisition Agreement is terminated without the Acquisition being consummated (any such event being a “ Special Mandatory Redemption Event ”), the Issuer will redeem all of the Notes (the “ Special Mandatory Redemption ”), at a price equal to 100.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “ Special Mandatory Redemption Price ”).

(b)                                  Notice of the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event and that a Special Mandatory Redemption is to occur (the “ Special Mandatory Redemption Notice ”), shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee and mailed by first class mail or sent electronically to each Holder’s registered address or electronically delivered according to the procedures of DTC as to global notes, within ten Business Days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event.  At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice to Holders in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense.  On such date specified in the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice as shall be no more than ten Business Days (or such other minimum period as may be required by DTC) after mailing or sending the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice, the special mandatory redemption shall occur (the date of such redemption, the “ Special Mandatory Redemption Date ”).

(c)                                   If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all of the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with a Paying Agent or the Trustee on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date in accordance with Section 3.5 above, then on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes shall cease to bear interest and, other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, all rights under such Notes shall terminate.

(d)                                  Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, this Section 3.8 will cease to apply.

In addition, for purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 4.9, (i) guarantees, Liens or letter of credit obligations supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could have incurred such Indebtedness; and (ii) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

(d)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision (or a subclause of any provision) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio (any such amounts, the “ Fixed Amounts ”) substantially concurrently with any such amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision (or a subclause of any provision) of this Indenture that requires compliance with a financial ratio (including any Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, Pari Passu Lien Leverage Ratio and Total Secured Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “ Ratio-Based Amounts ”), such Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio applicable to any substantially concurrent utilization of the Ratio-Based Amounts within the same covenant.

(e)                                   The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock dividends or distributions, the accretion or amortization of accreted value or original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms and the payment of dividends or distributions on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness under this Section 4.9; provided , in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Issuer as accrued to the extent required by the definition thereof.

(f)                                    For the purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the earlier of the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, together with the amount of accrued and unpaid interest and any premium payable to the holders of such refinanced Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.9, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur under this Section 4.9 will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency

59

exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(g)                                   If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 4.9, the Issuer shall be in Default under this Section 4.9).

(h)                                  The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, as the case may be, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of (1) being unsecured or (2) its having a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

Section 4.10.                           Limitation on Asset Sales .

(a)

(1)                                  The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale of Collateral unless:

(A)                                the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by way of any other Person assuming sole responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the Collateral subject to such Asset Sale;

(B)                                at least 75.0% of the consideration from such Asset Sale received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of (A) cash, (B) Cash Equivalents, (C) Replacement Assets of a type which would constitute (x) Notes Priority Collateral in the case of an Asset Sale of Notes Priority Collateral or (y) ABL Priority Collateral in the case of an Asset Sale of ABL Priority Collateral (which in both cases are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the notes) or (D) any combination of the foregoing; and

(C)                                to the extent that any consideration from such Asset Sales received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, constitutes securities or other assets that are of a type or class that constitute Collateral, such securities or other assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are concurrently with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes (as Notes Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral, as applicable) in the manner provided for in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

In the case of any Asset Sale of Collateral pursuant to a condemnation, seizure, appropriation or similar taking, including by deed in lieu of condemnation, or any actual or

60

constructive total loss or an agreed or compromised total loss, such Asset Sale shall not be required to satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.10(a)(1)(A) or (a)(1)(B).

(2)                                  If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale of Collateral is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10.

(3)                                  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, within 365 days of the date of such Asset Sale of Collateral, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, may (1) use any Net Available Proceeds received from Asset Sales of ABL Priority Collateral to repay, redeem, retire, defease, replace, refinance or repurchase any ABL Obligations, (2) use any Net Available Proceeds received from Asset Sales of Notes Priority Collateral to repay, redeem, retire, defease, replace, refinance or repurchase Secured Obligations; provided that if the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary repays, redeems or repurchases any Secured Obligations other than the Notes, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary must equally and ratably redeem or repurchase (or offer to repurchase) the Notes, at the Issuer’s option, as provided for in Section 3.7, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a purchase price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any) or by making an offer to all holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and such offer shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 4.10 to be a use of proceeds from an Asset Sale equal to the aggregate amount of Net Available Proceeds offered to the holders of Notes, whether or not the offer is accepted by any or all holders of Notes), or (3) invest any Net Available Proceeds received from Asset Sales of Collateral in Replacement Assets that would constitute (x) Notes Priority Collateral in the case of an Asset Sale of Notes Priority Collateral and (y) ABL Priority Collateral or Notes Priority Collateral in the case of an Asset Sale of ABL Priority Collateral, which Replacement Assets are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes; provided that the Replacement Assets shall not include the Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries for purposes of the requirement unless the relevant Asset Sale consisted of the sale of Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary.

(4)                                  Any Net Available Proceeds from Asset Sales of Collateral that are not applied or invested as provided in this subsection (A) will be deemed to constitute “ Excess Collateral Proceeds .” When the aggregate amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (a “ Collateral Disposition Offer ”) to all holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of the Notes (on a pro rata basis) and, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, to the holders of such Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis), to which the Collateral Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Collateral Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof with respect to the Notes. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer (together with, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, the amount of Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness tendered pursuant to any similar requirement), is less than the Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Collateral Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by

61

holders of the Notes and, if required by the holders of Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, holders of any Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness exceeds the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Notes and Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness. Upon completion of such Collateral Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Issuer may make a Collateral Disposition Offer if Excess Collateral Proceeds are less than $30 million and prior to 365 days after an Asset Sale of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Net Available Proceeds or Excess Collateral Proceeds are required to be applied to prepay Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement or other Pari Passu ABL Lien Indebtedness, the Issuer may make a prepayment with respect to such Indebtedness out of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Collateral Proceeds, at a price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of prepayment (and correspondingly reduce commitments with respect to the ABL Credit Agreement or other Pari Passu ABL Lien Indebtedness if such repayment is made with the proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral).

(5)                                  Pending the final application of any such Net Available Proceeds in accordance with Section 4.10(a)(3) and (a)(4), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(b)

(1)                                  The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Sale (other than Asset Sales of Collateral, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 4.10(a) above) unless:

(A)                                the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by way of any other Person assuming sole responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the Equity Interest or assets subject to such Asset Sale;

(B)                                either (x) at least 75.0% of the consideration from such Asset Sale received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or a combination thereof or (y) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate of all non-cash consideration for all Asset Sales since the Issue Date would not exceed 5.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Issuer after giving effect to such Asset Sale,

(i)                                      in the case of any Asset Sale pursuant to a condemnation, seizure, appropriation or similar taking, including by deed in lieu of condemnation, or any actual or constructive total loss or an agreed or compromised total loss, such Asset Sale shall not be required to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.10(b)(1)(A) or (b)(1)(B);

(ii)                                   if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset

62

Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10; and

(C)                                within 365 days following such Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Sale is applied by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as follows (it being understood that actions under clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) may occur prior to actions under clause (i) during such 365-day period):

(i)                                      to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness), to prepay, repay or purchase Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness) (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer, unless such Affiliate only sells its pro rata portion of any Notes acquired by the Issuer in any open market purchases or pursuant to any offer to purchase Notes) within 365 days after the date of such Asset Sale;

(ii)                                   to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects to acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets of a Person in a Permitted Business, to acquire any capital stock of a Person in a Permitted Business if said Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business, to make an Investment in assets that will be used or useful in a Permitted Business or to reinvest in assets of or usable in a Permitted Business (including equity securities of a Permitted Business) (including by means of an investment in such assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Proceeds received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the date of such Asset Sale ( provided that any assets so acquired will become part of the Collateral as (x) Notes Priority Collateral to the extent such assets are of the type that would constitute Notes Priority Collateral or (y) ABL Priority Collateral to the extent such assets are of the type that would constitute ABL Priority Collateral securing the Notes);

(iii)                                to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects to make an investment in a capital expenditure used or useful in a Permitted Business within 365 days after the date of such Asset Sale; provided that to the extent such investment is of a type which would constitute Collateral, such investment is thereupon added to the Collateral as (x) Notes Priority Collateral to the extent such investments is of the type that would constitute Notes Priority Collateral or (y) ABL Priority Collateral to the extent such investment is of the type that would constitute ABL Priority Collateral securing the Notes;

(iv)                               to make an offer to purchase the Notes and any Pari Passu Indebtedness with similar asset sale provisions, pro rata at 100% of the tendered principal amount thereof (or 100% of the accreted value of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness so tendered, if such Pari Passu Indebtedness was offered at a discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the purchase date; and

(v)                                  to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Proceeds after application in accordance with clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Indenture) any corporate purpose;

provided , however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (i) or (iv) above, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such

63

Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased (other than Indebtedness under an asset-based debt facility, so long as the asset sold in such Asset Sale constituted part of the borrowing base of such facility prior to such Asset Sale); provided , further, that pending the final application of any such Net Available Proceeds in accordance with this clause (C), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(2)                                  In the case of Section 4.10(a)(3) or Section 4.10(b)(1)(C), if, during the 365-day period following the date of the Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into a written agreement committing it to apply such Net Available Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.10(a)(3) or Section 4.10(b)(1)(C) after such 365-day period, then such 365-day period will be extended with respect to the amount of Net Available Proceeds so committed for a period not to exceed 180 days, until such Net Available Proceeds are required to be applied in accordance with such agreement (or, if earlier, until termination of such agreement) or has been applied toward such construction, as the case may be.

(c)                                   In the event of an Asset Sale that requires the purchase of Notes or in which the Issuer elects to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(1)(C)(iv), the Issuer will be required to apply such Excess Proceeds to the repayment of the Notes and any other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sale as follows:

(1)                                  the Issuer will make an offer to purchase (a “ Net Proceeds Offer ”) within ten Business Days of such time from all holders of Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture in the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of an amount (the “ Note Amount ”) equal to the product of such Excess Proceeds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness; and

(2)                                  to the extent required by such Pari Passu Indebtedness to permanently reduce the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuer will make an offer to purchase or otherwise repurchase or redeem such Pari Passu Indebtedness (a “ Pari Passu Offer ”) in an amount equal to the excess of the Excess Proceeds over the Note Amount at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or 100% of the accreted value of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, if such Pari Passu Indebtedness was offered at a discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, to the purchase date in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture with respect to the Net Proceeds Offer and in the documentation governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness with respect to the Pari Passu Offer. If the aggregate purchase price of the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and Pari Passu Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the remaining Excess Proceeds will be available to the Issuer for use in accordance with clause (b)(1)(C)(v) above. The Issuer shall only be required to make an Net Proceeds Offer for Notes pursuant to this Section 4.10 if the Net Available Proceeds available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in clauses (b)(1)(C)(i), (b)(1)(C)(ii) and (b)(1)(C)(iii) above) (the “ Excess Proceeds ”) exceeds $30.0 million (and any lesser amounts shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Net Proceeds Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Proceeds from any subsequent Asset Sale). Upon completion of any such Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Issuer may make a Net Proceeds Offer if Excess Proceeds are less than $30 million and prior to 365 days after an Asset Sale.

64

(d)                                  The Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “ Net Proceeds Offer Period ”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Net Proceeds Offer Period (the “ Net Proceeds Purchase Date ”), the Issuer will purchase the principal amount of Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.10 (the “ Net Proceeds Offer Amount ”) or, if less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount has been so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, if applicable, validly tendered in response to the Collateral Disposition Offer or the Net Proceeds Offer, as applicable.

(e)                                   If the Net Proceeds Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, then with respect to Holders who have tendered their Notes for purchase pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on such Net Proceeds Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders of Notes who tender Notes pursuant to the Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer.

(f)                                    On or before the Net Proceeds Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount of Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, or portions of Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, or if less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof in the case of the Notes. The Issuer or the applicable tender agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after termination of the Net Proceeds Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder of Notes or holder or lender of Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and, in the case of Notes in non-global form, the Issuer will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Authentication Order from the Issuer, will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, as the case may be, on the Net Proceeds Purchase Date.

(g)                                   For purposes of Sections 4.10(a)(1)(B) and 4.10(b)(1)(B) and for no other purpose, the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(1)                                  the amount (without duplication) of any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) (other than Subordinated Indebtedness or intercompany Indebtedness) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a written agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability therefor;

(2)                                  the amount of any securities, notes or other obligations received from such transferee that are within 180 days after such Asset Sale converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received);

65

(3)                                  any assets or Equity Interests of the kind referred to in clause (b)(1)(C)(ii) and (b)(1)(C)(iii) of this Section 4.10;

(4)                                  accounts receivable of a business retained by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, following the sale of such business, provided that such accounts receivable (i) are not past due more than 60 days and (ii) do not have a payment date greater than 90 days from the date of the invoices creating such accounts receivable; and

(5)                                  any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (e), not to exceed an amount equal to 5.0% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (determined at the time of 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.

(h)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be governed by Section 4.13 and/or Section 5.1 and not by this Section 4.10.

(i)                                      The Issuer shall reasonably determine in its sole discretion in good faith whether, and to what extent, the Net Available Proceeds of an Asset Sale is attributable to Notes Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral or is invested in Notes Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral, taking into account all relevant factors. In the event that ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral (and/or other assets not constituting Collateral) is disposed of in a single transaction or series of related transactions in which the aggregate sales price or purchase price is not allocated between the ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral (and/or other assets not constituting Collateral), including in connection with the sale of a Guarantor which owns assets constituting both ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral (and/or other assets not constituting Collateral), then, solely for purposes of this Indenture, the portion of the aggregate sales price deemed to be Net Available Proceeds from the ABL Priority Collateral, on the one hand, and Notes Priority Collateral, on the other hand (and/or proceeds of other assets not constituting Collateral), or the portion of the purchase price deemed to be invested in ABL Priority Collateral or Notes Priority Collateral, as the case may be (and/or other assets not constituting Collateral), shall be reasonably allocated by the Issuer in its sole discretion in good faith, taking into account all relevant factors.

(j)                                     The Issuer shall comply with all applicable securities laws and regulations in the United States, including, without limitation, the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.10, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.11.                           Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates .

(a)                                  The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (an “ Affiliate Transaction ”) involving

66

aggregate payments or consideration to or from the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1)                                  the terms of such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate, or if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions, or are otherwise fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and

(2)                                  the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, (i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate value in excess of $20.0 million, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with clause (1) above and (ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate value in excess of $40.0 million, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with clause (1) above and which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

(b)                                  The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(1)                                  transactions to the extent between or among (i) the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2)                                  employment agreements, equity awards, compensation plans, deferred compensation plans, severance agreements and arrangements, director, trustee, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including pursuant to any employment agreement or any retirement, health, stock option or other benefit plan), payments to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and indemnification arrangements, including any other compensation plans, agreements or arrangements, benefit plans, retirement plans, savings plans, vacation plans and directors and officers insurance arrangements entered into by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Issuer’s Board of Directors or senior management;

(3)                                  Permitted Investments or Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 4.7;

(4)                                  any agreement in effect on the Issue Date (and performance thereunder) or as thereafter amended or replaced in any manner that, taken as a whole, is not materially less advantageous to the Issuer than such agreement as it was in effect on the Issue Date;

(5)                                  any transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) which would constitute an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Person;

(b)                                  If the Issuer or any Guarantor, directly or indirectly, shall create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind upon any of their property or assets (including Equity Interests of any Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, (x) in the case of Liens securing any of the ABL Obligations, Pari Passu ABL Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall, contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Lien, grant at least a first- or second-priority Lien consistent with the relative Lien priority set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement subject to Permitted Liens, upon such property or asset as security for the Notes and the Guarantees pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreement, and (y) in the case of Liens securing Junior Lien Obligations, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall, contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Lien, grant a priority Lien relative to such Junior Lien Obligations subject to Permitted Liens, upon such property or asset as security for the Notes and the Guarantees pursuant to the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other applicable intercreditor agreement.

(b)                                  Not later than 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice:

to 5:00 p.m. New York time on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; and

(3)                                  describing the procedures, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Indenture, that Holders must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer.

(c)                                   On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

(e)                                   If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, then with respect to Holders who have tendered their Notes for purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Change of Control Payment Date will be paid on the Change of Control Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.

The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(g)                                   The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (ii) a notice of redemption with respect to all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.7, unless or until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (iii) in connection with or in contemplation of any publicly announced Change of Control, the Issuer has made an offer to purchase (such offer to purchase described in this clause (iii), an “ Alternate Offer ”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Purchase Price and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer.

(h)                                  If Holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer, as applicable, to redeem all

70

Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Purchase Price or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Purchase Price or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.13, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such compliance.

(j)                                     The provisions in this Section 4.13 relating to the Issuer’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived, modified or terminated with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

(k)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer. The closing date of any such Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control may be changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control, whether or not later than 60 days from the date the Change of Control Offer notice is delivered as described above.

Section 4.14.                           Corporate Existence . Subject to Article V, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of the Guarantors in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any Guarantor; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of the Guarantors, if the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.  Subject to Section 5.1 and the requirements of the Pledge and Security Agreement, nothing herein shall prohibit any Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary from converting into a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company in the same or a different jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law (so long as all Collateral owned by such entity prior to such conversion remains Collateral owned by the entity following such conversion).

Section 4.15.                           Additional Guarantees .

(a)                                  If any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not already a Guarantor shall guarantee any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under any Debt Facility (including the ABL Credit Agreement) after the Issue Date, then the Issuer shall, within five Business Days thereof, cause such Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor with respect to the Notes (provided, however, that Motley and its Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such supplemental indenture on or prior to the Collateral Due Date), upon the terms and subject to the release provisions and other limitations set forth in Article XI.  Any Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be released in accordance with Section 11.5.

71

(b)                                  Each Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor on or after the Issue Date shall, also within five Business Days thereof, become a party to the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and shall as promptly as practicable execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements, certificates, Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel (to the extent, and substantially in the form, delivered on the Issue Date or the Collateral Due Date, as applicable) as may be necessary (provided, however, that Subsidiaries of the Issuer that become Guarantors on the Issue Date or on or prior to the Collateral Due Date (including Motley and its Subsidiaries that become Guarantors) shall execute and deliver such documents on or prior to the Collateral Due Date) to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected first- or second-priority security interest, as the case may be (subject to Permitted Liens), in properties and assets that constitute Collateral as security for the Notes or the Guarantees and as may be necessary to have such property or asset added to the applicable Collateral as required under the Security Documents and this Indenture, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such properties and assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(c)                                   Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), a Foreign Subsidiary is not required to become a Guarantor hereunder if the accession of such subsidiary as a Guarantor could reasonably be expected (in good faith by the Issuer but in its sole determination) to result in material adverse tax consequences to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and so long as the Holders’ ability to receive payment in full with respect to the Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will not be impaired (it being understood that the materiality of such adverse tax consequences of guaranteeing the Notes by such Foreign Subsidiary shall be analyzed with respect to the incremental tax burden of the guarantee of the Notes and not the initial guarantee of Indebtedness by such Foreign Subsidiary).

Section 4.16.                           Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries .  (a)  The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly formed or newly acquired Subsidiary or a Person becoming a Subsidiary through merger or consolidation or Investment therein) of the Issuer as an “ Unrestricted Subsidiary ” under this Indenture (a “ Designation ”) only if:

(1)                                  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; and

(2)                                  the Issuer would be permitted to make, at the time of such Designation, (a) a Permitted Investment or (b) an Investment pursuant to Section 4.7, in either case, in an amount (the “ Designation Amount ”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary on such date.

(b)                                  No Subsidiary shall be Designated as an “ Unrestricted Subsidiary ” unless:

(1)                                  all of the Indebtedness of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of Designation, consist of Non-Recourse Debt, except for the pledge by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Equity Interests of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and except for any guarantee of Indebtedness of such Subsidiary by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that is permitted as both an incurrence of Indebtedness and an Investment (in each case in an amount equal to the amount of such Indebtedness so guaranteed) permitted under Section 4.7 and Section 4.9;

(2)                                  except to the extent permitted by Section 4.11, on the date such Subsidiary is Designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the terms of the agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are not materially less favorable to the Issuer

72

or the Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Issuer; and

(3)                                  such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (a) to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of such Person or (b) to maintain or preserve the Person’s financial condition or to cause the Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results.

(c)                                   Any such Designation by the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall be evidenced by filing with the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such Designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Designation complies with the foregoing conditions. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary and any Liens on assets of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary at such time and, if the Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred under Section 4.9 or the Lien is not permitted under Section 4.12, the Issuer shall be in default of the applicable covenant.

(d)                                  The Board of Directors of the Issuer may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a “ Redesignation ”) only if:

(1)                                  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Redesignation; and

(2)                                  all Liens, Indebtedness and Investments of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Redesignation would, if incurred or made at such time, have been permitted to be incurred or made for all purposes of this Indenture.

Any such Redesignation shall be evidenced by filing with the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Redesignation complies with the foregoing conditions.

Section 4.17.                           Effectiveness of Covenants .

(a)                                  Following the first day (such date, a “ Suspension Date ”) on which (1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies, and (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following covenants (collectively, the “ Suspended Covenants ”):

(i)                                                  Section 4.7, Limitation on Restricted Payments;

(ii)                                               Section 4.8, Limitation on Dividend and Other Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries;

(iii)                                            Section 4.9, Limitation on Additional Indebtedness;

(iv)                                           Clauses (b) and (c) of Section 4.10, Limitation on Asset Sales;

(v)                                              Section 4.11, Limitation on Affiliate Transactions;

73

(vi)                                           Section 4.15, Additional Guarantees (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Guarantor after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Date);

(vii)                                        Section 4.16, Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and

(viii)                                     Section 5.1(a)(3), Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease.

(b)                                  If at any time after a Suspension Date, a credit rating assigned to the Notes is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “ Reinstatement Date ”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided , however , that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period.  The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “ Suspension Period .”

(c)                                   On the Reinstatement Date, (i) all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date so that it is classified under Section 4.9(b)(3), (ii) any transaction with an Affiliate entered into after the Suspension Date will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under Section 4.11(b)(4), (iii) any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to take any actions described in the first paragraph of Section 4.8 entered into after the Suspension Date and existing on the Reinstatement Date will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under clause (1) of Section 4.8 and (iv) any Investment made after the Suspension Date will be deemed to have been made on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under clause (14) of the definition of “ Permitted Investment .” Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.7 will be made as though Section 4.7 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period.  Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.7(a).

(d)                                  During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Issuer may not designate any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture.

(e)                                   Promptly following the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date, the Issuer will provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence.  The Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor or independently determine or verify if a Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date has occurred or notify the Holders of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date.  The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate to any Holder of the Notes upon request.

74

Section 4.18.                           Use of Proceeds Prior to the Consummation of the Acquisition .

(a)                                  Prior to the earlier of (1) the date of the consummation of the Acquisition and (2) the date on which the Notes are redeemed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.8, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes for any other purpose other than making investments in Cash Equivalents or consummating the Acquisition (including the payment of fees and expenses related to the Acquisition).

(b)                                  Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, this Section 4.18 will automatically cease to be of any force or effect.

Section 6.2.                                  Acceleration . If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) with respect to the Issuer) shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee, by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare (an “ acceleration declaration ”) all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such acceleration declaration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) occurs with respect to the Issuer, then all outstanding Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, further action or notice to the extent permitted by applicable law.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(6) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting Payment Default with respect to the Notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded with respect to the Notes, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default first arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (a) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been paid or discharged, (b) the holders of the Indebtedness have rescinded or waived the acceleration giving rise to such Event of Default or (c) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been otherwise cured; provided , however , that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

(2)                                  all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived other than nonpayment of accelerated principal and interest;

(3)                                  to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

(4)                                  the Issuer has paid the Trustee and the Collateral Agent its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances.

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

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.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or exercising any trust power conferred on them. However, (i) the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability, or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction and (ii) the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from the Holders.

Section 6.6.                                  Limitation on Suits . A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) only if:

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

(5)                                  during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

Section 6.9.                                  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim . The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable upon the conversion or exchange of the Notes or on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or Collateral Agent under Section 7.6.
