Indenture; Supplemental Indentures; Notes Issuance

On April 9, 2020, T-Mobile USA, Inc. ( “T-Mobile USA”), a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile US, Inc. (the “Company”), issued $3.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 3.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), $4.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), $7.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2040 Notes (the “2040 Notes”) and $3.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2050 (the “2050 Notes” and, together with the 2025 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2030 Notes and the 2040 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of April 9, 2020, among T-Mobile USA, the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by (i) the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), with respect to the 2025 Notes, (ii) the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), with respect to the 2027 Notes, (iii) the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), with respect to the 2030 Notes, (iv) the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”), with respect to the 2040 Notes and (v) the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), with respect to the 2050 Notes, each among T-Mobile USA, the Company, the other guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by each of the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, each an “Indenture” and, collectively, the “Indentures”).

The 2025 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.500% per year and mature on April 15, 2025. The 2027 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.750% per year and mature on April 15, 2027. The 2030 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per year and mature on April 15, 2030. The 2040 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.375% per year and mature on April 15, 2040. The 2050 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.500% per year and mature on April 15, 2050. T-Mobile USA will pay interest on each series of Notes semiannually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15, 2020.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used, together with cash on hand, to repay at par all $19.0 billion of the outstanding amounts under, and terminate, the Bridge Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”) by and among T-Mobile USA, as borrower, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, and the lenders and other financial institutions party thereto, and to repay liabilities under related interest rate protection agreements.

T-Mobile USA’s obligations under the Notes will be guaranteed (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”) by the Company and each wholly-owned subsidiary of T-Mobile USA that is not an Excluded Subsidiary (as defined in the Base Indenture) and is or becomes an obligor of the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among T-Mobile USA, as borrower, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, and the lenders and other financial institutions party thereto or issues or guarantees certain capital markets debt securities, and any future direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company or any subsidiary thereof that owns capital stock of T-Mobile USA. The Guarantees will be provided on a senior secured basis except for the Guarantees of Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”), Sprint Communications, Inc. and Sprint Capital Corporation (collectively, the “Unsecured Guarantors”), which will be provided on a senior unsecured basis (the “Unsecured Guarantees”).

The Notes and the Guarantees will be T-Mobile USA’s and the guarantors’ unsubordinated obligations; will be secured (except for the Unsecured Guarantees) by a first priority security interest, subject to permitted liens, in substantially all of T-Mobile USA’s and such guarantors’ present and future assets other than Excluded Assets (as defined in the Collateral Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2020 (the “Collateral Agreement”), by and among T-Mobile USA, the Company and the other grantors party thereto in favor of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral trustee) on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations under the Credit Agreement and obligations under any other existing and future permitted first priority secured obligations; will be senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness of T-Mobile USA or any guarantor to the extent that such future indebtedness provides by its terms that it is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantees; will be effectively senior to all existing and future unsecured indebtedness of T-Mobile USA or any guarantor (other than the Unsecured Guarantors) and any future indebtedness of T-Mobile USA or any guarantor (other than the Unsecured Guarantors) secured by a junior lien on the collateral, in each case to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the obligations under the Notes; will be equal in right of payment with any of T-Mobile USA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities that are not by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including, without limitation, obligations under the Credit Agreement, the existing T-Mobile USA unsecured notes and the existing unsecured notes issued by the Unsecured Guarantors; and will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and other obligations of the subsidiaries of the Company that are not obligors with respect to the Notes, including the existing spectrum-backed notes issued under Sprint’s spectrum securitization program, factoring arrangements and tower obligations.



If T-Mobile USA experiences specific kinds of changes of control as set forth in the Indentures and any such change of control is accompanied or followed by ratings downgrades during a specified period of time after the change of control, any holder of Notes may require T-Mobile USA to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes so held at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

The Indentures contain covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of T-Mobile USA and certain of its subsidiaries to (i) create liens or other encumbrances in respect of borrowed money, (ii) merge, consolidate or sell, or otherwise dispose of, substantially all of their assets or (iii) grant a subsidiary guarantee of debt incurred under the Credit Agreement or certain capital markets debt without also providing a guarantee of the Notes. These limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

Each Indenture contains customary Events of Default (as defined in each Indenture), including:


default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes of the applicable series;


default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes of the applicable series;


failure by T-Mobile USA or it subsidiaries to comply with their other obligations under the Indenture, subject to notice and grace periods;


payment defaults and accelerations with respect to other indebtedness of T-Mobile USA and certain of its subsidiaries in the aggregate principal amount of at least the greater of (x) $250.0 million and (y) 1.0% of Consolidated Cash Flow (as defined in the Base Indenture) on a pro forma basis over a four-quarter test period;


specified events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of T-Mobile USA or certain of its subsidiaries;


failure by T-Mobile USA or certain of its subsidiaries to pay certain final judgments aggregating in excess of the greater of (x) $250.0 million and (y) 1.0% of Consolidated Cash Flow on a pro forma basis over a four-quarter test period within 60 consecutive days of such final judgment;


other than in connection with satisfaction of the obligations under the applicable Indenture or release of collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture, (i) a security interest with respect to collateral having a fair market value in excess of 5% of Consolidated Total Assets (as defined in the Base Indenture) ceases to be valid and perfected or is declared invalid or unenforceable, subject to notice and a grace period, or (ii) T-Mobile USA or a guarantor asserts in a pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction that any security interest securing the Notes is invalid or unenforceable.

Upon an Event of Default, the trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the applicable series then outstanding may declare all the Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately. In the case of Events of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, all outstanding Notes of the applicable series will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.



This description of the Indentures is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full and complete terms of the Base Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

On April 9, 2020, the Company, T-Mobile USA and the other guarantors party thereto entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Barclays Capital, Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers in the Notes offering (the “Initial Purchasers”).

Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, T-Mobile USA, the Company and the other guarantors agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement covering an offer to exchange the Notes for Exchange Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) within 30 calendar days following the due date for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the first year in which Sprint and its subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for at least nine months. T-Mobile USA also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective promptly thereafter and to consummate the Exchange Offer (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) not later than 60 days after the date such registration statement becomes effective. Alternatively, if T-Mobile USA is unable to consummate the Exchange Offer under certain conditions, or if holders of the Notes cannot participate in, or cannot obtain freely transferable Exchange Securities in connection with, the Exchange Offer for certain specified reasons, then T-Mobile USA and the guarantors will use commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement within the times specified in the Registration Rights Agreement to facilitate resale of the Notes. All registration expenses (subject to limitations specified in the Registration Rights Agreement) will be paid by T-Mobile USA and the guarantors.

If, 30 calendar days following the due date for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the first year in which Sprint and its subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for at least nine months, (x) the exchange offer registration statement is not on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or (y) a shelf registration statement (if required) is not on file with the SEC or is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable (subject to certain exceptions), T-Mobile USA will be required to pay certain Additional Interest as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, T-Mobile USA and the guarantors have agreed to indemnify certain holders of the Notes against certain liabilities.

This description of the Registration Rights Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full and complete terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.7 to this Curent Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

-52-

All Notes of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate referred to above.
 
Section 2.03         Execution and Authentication.
 
At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature.
 
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.
 
A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
 
The Trustee will at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Notes for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to written instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent or agents. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate.
 
The aggregate principal amount of Notes of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.08.
 
Prior to the issuance of Notes of any Series, the Trustee will have received: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s Certificate establishing the form and the terms of the Notes of that Series or of Notes within that Series, (b) an Officer’s Certificate complying with Section 12.04, and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 12.04.
 
The Trustee will have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes of such Series if (a) the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully or (b) a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents of the Trustee determines in good faith that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Notes.
 
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 authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.
 
-53-

Section 2.04         Registrar and Paying Agent.
 
The Issuer will maintain, with respect to each Series of Notes, an office or agency where Notes of such Series may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes of such Series may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of each Series of Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee will act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
 
If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer and the Issuer is the Paying Agent, the Issuer will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with these instructions until given written notice to the contrary. All other payments on the Notes of any Series will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, unless the Issuer elects to make interest payments by checks mailed to the Holders at their addresses in the books and records of the Registrar.
 
The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as custodian of any Global Note (or Global Notes) with respect to each Series unless another Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Notes of that Series are first issued. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar with respect to the Notes of any Series without prior notice to the Holders.
 
Section 2.05         Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
 
The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of any Series of Notes or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on such Series of Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it with respect to such series of Notes to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it with respect to such series of Notes to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) will have no further liability for such money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of any Series of Notes all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
 
Section 2.06         Holder Lists.
 
The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Notes and will otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Holders of each Series of Notes.
 
-54-

Section 2.07         Transfer and Exchange.
 
When Notes of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of the same Series of other denominations, the Registrar will register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes only in accordance with this Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06 or 9.05).
 
Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar will be required (a) to issue, register the transfer or purchase of, or exchange Notes of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of Notes of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (b) to issue, register the transfer or purchase of, or exchange Notes of any Series selected for redemption.
 
Section 2.08         Replacement Notes.
 
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft and ownership of any Note, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will authenticate and deliver a replacement Note of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee, and any authentication agent, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify them and save each of them harmless from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, including an indemnity bond. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.
 
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of such Series duly issued hereunder.
 
The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
 
-55-

Section 2.09         Outstanding Notes.
 
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.
 
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and shall be deemed cancelled for all purposes unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.
 
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding, shall be deemed cancelled, and interest on it ceases to accrue.
 
If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption or purchase date or at Maturity, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, shall be deemed cancelled, and will cease to accrue interest.
 
Section 2.10         Treasury Notes.
 
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Notes of a Series owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any Guarantor, shall be disregarded, except that (a) notwithstanding this Section 2.10, so long as all of the Notes of a Series are owned by Deutsche Telekom or its Affiliates, Notes of such Series owned by Deutsche Telekom or its Affiliates shall not be disregarded for purposes of determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of such Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver and (b) for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes of a Series that a Responsible Officer has been informed in writing are so owned will be so disregarded.
 
Section 2.11         Temporary Notes.
 
Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes upon receipt of a Company Order. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes, including any legend the Issuer deems appropriate. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will prepare and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order will authenticate definitive Notes of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, temporary Notes will have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Notes.
 
Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
 
-56-

Section 2.12         Cancellation.
 
The Issuer or its agents or representatives at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.

The Trustee and no one else will promptly cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption, purchase, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the cancellation and destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuer upon written request. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
 
Section 2.13         Persons Deemed Owners.
 
The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall (subject to Section 2.15(e)) treat the Person in whose name such Global Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes, including for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, and any premium and any interest, if any, on, such Global Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Global Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer nor Trustee nor any of their respective agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
Neither the Issuer, nor the Trustee, nor any of their respective agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

The Issuer will fix such special record date and payment date. At least 10 days before such special record date, the Issuer will send to the Trustee and to each Holder of Notes of the applicable Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Issuer may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.
 
Section 2.15         Global Notes.

Section 2.16         CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code Numbers.
 
The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee will use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and/or “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Notes, and any such redemption will not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

If a Series of Notes is redeemable and the Issuer wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Notes pursuant to the terms of such Notes, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days  (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series in the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture under which such Series of Notes is issued or in the form of Note for such Series, if less than all of the Notes of a Series are to be redeemed at any time, the Registrar will select or cause to be selected the Notes of such Series to be redeemed on a pro rata or by lot basis unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or Depositary requirements. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes of a Series to be redeemed will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 days  (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes of such Series not previously called for redemption.
 
The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes of a Series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note of such Series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes of a Series and portions of Notes of a Series selected will be in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof or, with respect to Notes of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.02(i), the minimum principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes of such Series held by such Holder, even if not in compliance with the foregoing, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes of that Series called for redemption.
 
Section 3.03         Notice of Redemption.
 
Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series in the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture under which such Series of Notes is issued or in the form of Note for such Series, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer will send electronically, or mail by first-class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes of a Series or a satisfaction and discharge of the Notes of any Series pursuant to ARTICLES VIII or XI hereof.

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:
 
(1)          the redemption date and whether the redemption is conditioned on any transaction or event;
 
(2)          the redemption price;
 
(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 will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;
 
(4)          the name and address of the Paying Agent;
 
(5)          that Notes of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(10)        any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or the Notes of the Series being redeemed.

Section 3.04         Effect of Notice of Redemption.
 
Except to the extent that a notice of redemption is conditional as permitted by this Indenture, once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.
 
-60-

Section 3.05         Deposit of Redemption Price.
 
On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date (or such other time as specified in the Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Series of Notes), the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly, but in any event no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time on the next succeeding Business Day, return to the Issuer any money so deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed, or if any condition to the redemption is not satisfied. The Trustee will not be liable or responsible for any interest on the funds deposited.
 
If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest 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 is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.
 
Section 3.06         Notes Redeemed in Part.
 
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note of the same Series and in equal principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 4.01         Payment of Notes.
 
The Issuer will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of each Series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes of such Series. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof, holds on or before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.
 
Section 4.02         Maintenance of Office or Agency.
 
The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for 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 will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.

-61-

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
 
The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof.
 
Section 4.03         Reports.
 
Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will file a copy of each of the Parent reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below with the SEC for public availability within the time periods (including all applicable extension periods) specified in the SEC rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing):
 
(1)          all quarterly and annual financial reports that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if Parent were required to file such reports, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by its certified independent accountants; and
 
(2)          all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if Parent were required to file such reports;
 
provided that the availability of the foregoing reports on the SEC’s EDGAR service (or successor thereto) shall be deemed to satisfy the Issuer’s delivery obligations to the Trustee and any Holder of Notes.
 
All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports; provided that, if Parent is not required under the rules and regulations of the SEC to file such reports with the SEC for public availability, such reports need not be prepared in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports and shall only be required to include the information or disclosure that would be required by such form to the extent that, and in the same general style of presentation as, the same or substantially similar information or disclosure is also included or incorporated by reference in the offering memorandum, prospectus or prospectus supplement pursuant to which the applicable Notes were offered and sold. The Issuer will comply with Trust Indenture Act § 314(a) following the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

If the SEC will not accept Parent’s filings for any reason, the Issuer will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website, on intralinks.com or another website within the time periods that would apply if Parent were required to file those reports with the SEC (including all applicable extension periods).
 
If the combined operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries, excluding the operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and excluding Cash Equivalents, would, if held by a single Subsidiary of the Issuer, constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by Section 4.03 will include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of Parent and its other Subsidiaries; provided however, that the requirements of this paragraph shall not apply if Parent or the Issuer files with the SEC the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.03 hereof, and any such report contains the information required in this paragraph.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of Section 6.01(4) until 150 days after the receipt of the written notice delivered thereunder.
 
For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time Parent is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.03, Parent will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
 
Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee shall be considered for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute notice or actual knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).
 
Section 4.04         Compliance Certificate.
 
The Issuer and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, in compliance with the Trust Indenture Act § 314(a)(4), within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer and each Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Issuer and each Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge).
 
-63-

So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived in such period.
 
Section 4.05         Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.
 
Each of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Notes; and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants 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 has been enacted.
 
Section 4.06          Liens.
 
(a)          Prior to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien securing Indebtedness for Borrowed Money upon any Collateral or any Principal Property now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.
 
(b)          Following the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Material Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien securing Indebtedness for Borrowed Money upon any of its or any Material Subsidiary’s Principal Property or upon Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Material Subsidiary that directly owns any Principal Property, except Permitted Post-Release Liens, unless the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or, at the Issuer’s option, on a senior basis to) the Indebtedness for Borrowed Money so secured.
 
(c)          Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.06(b) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to such Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
 
(d)          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.06, (x) a Lien need not be incurred solely by reference to one category of Permitted Liens or Permitted Post-Release Liens, as applicable, but may be incurred under any combination of such categories (including in part under one such category and in part under any other such category) and (y) in the event that a Lien (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of such categories of Permitted Liens or Permitted Post-Release Liens, as applicable, the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or may subsequently reclassify at any time such Lien (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.06 and the definition of “Permitted Liens” or “Permitted Post-Release Liens,” as applicable.
 
-64-

(e)          This Section 4.06 requires only equal and ratable treatment in the application of proceeds of Collateral and does not require that the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee have any ability to control the Collateral or the enforcement of remedies.
 
(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.06, and solely to the extent any Spectrum SPV Equity Interests constitute Excluded Assets pursuant to clause (6) of the definition of “Excluded Assets”, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any “Restricted Subsidiary” under the Credit Agreement to, directly or indirectly, create, incur or assume any Lien on such Spectrum SPV Equity Interests securing Indebtedness unless (i) such Lien is otherwise permitted under this Section 4.06 and (ii) a first priority Lien on such Equity Interests (which may be pari passu with such other Lien) is promptly granted to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and any perfection requirements with respect thereto are satisfied within the time periods required by the Credit Agreement.
 
Section 4.07          Existence.
 
The Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises material to the conduct of its business; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such existence, right, license or franchise, if the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger, conversion, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 5.01 hereof.
 
Section 4.08          Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.
 
(a)          Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to any Series of Notes, the Issuer will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of outstanding Notes of such Series to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date for periods prior to such repurchase date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder of Notes of such Series and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions and identifying the Rating Event that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and stating:
 
-65-

(1)          that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.08 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;
 
(2)          the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);
 
(3)          that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
 
(4)          that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;
 
(5)          that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;
 
(6)          that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, an electronic transmission, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and
 
(7)          that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
 
The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.08 or compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.08 would constitute a violation of any such laws or regulations, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue of such compliance. In connection with the tender of any Notes with respect to a Change of Control Triggering Event, the tendering Holder shall provide good title to the Notes, free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances, and shall represent and warrant that such Holder is presenting good title, free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances, and such other representations and warranties as are customary.

(1)          accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
 
(2)          deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
 
(3)          deliver or cause to be delivered to the Paying Agent the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer.
 
The Paying Agent will promptly make payment, to each Holder of Notes of the applicable Series properly tendered, of the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder, a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.08, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to any Series of Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer for such Series of Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.08 and purchases all Notes of such Series properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption with respect to such Series has been given pursuant to the optional redemption provisions applicable to such Series, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.
 
(d)          A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditioned upon such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement has been executed for a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.
 
(e)          In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any Series accept a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes of such Series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, 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 an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

Section 4.09         Additional Note Guarantees.
 
Prior to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election with respect to each Series of Notes, if (a) any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not an Excluded Subsidiary becomes an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, (b) any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not an Excluded Subsidiary and that is not an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (or the equivalent thereof) under the Credit Agreement becomes an obligor with respect to any capital markets debt securities in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500.0 million or (c) Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent acquires or creates a Subsidiary that directly or indirectly owns Capital Stock of the Issuer, then the Issuer or Parent, as applicable, will, within 20 Business Days after the date on which it becomes an obligor with respect to any of the foregoing, or reasonably promptly thereafter, (i) cause that newly acquired or created Subsidiary (A) to become a Guarantor of each applicable Series of Notes and execute a supplemental indenture in substantially the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and (B) to execute joinders to the Security Documents or new Security Documents together with any other filings and agreements required by the Security Documents to grant a first-priority Lien on its property and assets, other than Excluded Assets and subject to Permitted Liens, for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee and (ii), if requested by the Trustee, deliver an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
 
After the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, with respect to each series of Notes, if the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of non-guarantor Subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness under any Permitted Receivables Financing and any Indebtedness of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (or the equivalent thereof) under the Credit Agreement or Permitted Receivables Financing Subsidiary) that is incurred or issued and outstanding exceeds $2,000.0 million (the “Guarantee Threshold”), then Parent shall cause such of its non-guarantor Subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries to, within 60 days, execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Note Guarantee by such non-guarantor Subsidiaries (each such Note Guarantee, a “Post-Release Event Note Guarantee”) such that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness of all other non-guarantor Subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries (excluding any Indebtedness under any Permitted Receivables Financing and any Indebtedness of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (or the equivalent thereof) under the Credit Agreement or Permitted Receivables Financing Subsidiary) that is incurred or issued and outstanding does not exceed the Guarantee Threshold (after giving effect to the provision of Post-Release Event Note Guarantees pursuant to the foregoing); provided that (i) this covenant shall not be applicable to any Indebtedness of any Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Subsidiary of Parent (including any Indebtedness incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Subsidiary, so long as Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than such Person and its Subsidiaries) are not obligors under such Indebtedness), (ii) if the Guarantee Threshold would be exceeded immediately after giving effect to the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event Election, then such Investment Grade Event Election shall be deemed not to have occurred with respect to the release of such Note Guarantees as the Issuer may designate such that the Guarantee Threshold would not be then exceeded and (iii) a Post-Release Event Note Guarantee shall be released to the extent the Guarantee Threshold would not be exceeded after giving effect to such release.

Section 4.10         After-Acquired Collateral.
 
If the Issuer or any Secured Guarantor acquires any property or asset of the type that constitutes Collateral and that is not an Excluded Asset, it must promptly grant a security interest upon such property as security for the Notes. The Issuer will, and will cause each Secured Guarantor to, at the expense of the Issuer and such Secured Guarantors, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, authorize, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Trustee from time to time such documents, assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral covered by any Security Document (other than Excluded Assets and subject to Permitted Liens) as the First Priority Agent may reasonably require to carry out the terms and conditions of this Indenture and the Security Documents and to ensure perfection (to the extent perfection is required under the Security Documents) and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents; provided, however, that if at any time the First Priority Agent is not the agent in respect of any loan agreement, then the Issuer shall be responsible to ensure perfection (to the extent perfection is required under the Security Documents) and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

Section 6.02         Acceleration.
 
In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, all outstanding Notes of such Series will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any Series of Notes, the Trustee or the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series may declare all the Notes of such Series to be due and payable immediately; provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to or as a result of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to such declaration.
 
-73-

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all Holders of Notes of that Series, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default in respect of such Series of Notes and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes of such Series.
 
Section 6.03         Other Remedies.
 
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of a Series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such Series or this Indenture.
 
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
 
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding with respect to the Notes of any Series even if it does not possess any of the Notes of such Series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note of any Series in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
 
The Trustee may withhold from holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or the interest or premium, if any, on the Notes of such Series.
 
Section 6.04         Waiver of Past Defaults.
 
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any Series by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes of such Series waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes of such Series. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
-74-

Section 6.05         Control by Majority.
 
Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to the Notes of such Series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, the Intercreditor Agreement or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of the Notes of such Series or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
 
Section 6.06         Limitation on Suits.
 
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, a Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of any Series only if:
 
(1)          such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default for such Series of Notes is continuing;
 
(2)          Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the applicable Series have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
 
(3)          such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request;
 
(4)          the Trustee does not comply with the request within 90 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity or security; and
 
(5)          during such 90-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.
 
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note of the same Series or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note of the same Series.
 
Section 6.07         Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
 
-75-

Section 6.08         Collection Suit by Trustee.
 
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and outside counsel.
 
Section 6.09         Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

To the extent that the payment of any such amounts due the Trustee, its agents and outside counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
 
Section 6.10         Priorities.
 
Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this ARTICLE VI on account of a Series of Notes, it shall pay out the money in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Notes of such Series and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

Third: To the Issuer or the Guarantors, as applicable.

TRUSTEE
 
Section 7.01         Duties of Trustee.
 
(a)          The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Series of Notes, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture in respect of such Series of Notes, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
 
(b)          Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of any Series:
 
(1)          the Trustee and the Agents shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set out in this Indenture and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee and the Agents (it being agreed that a permissive right of the Trustee and the Agents shall not be construed as a duty); and
 
(2)          in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee and the Agents may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and the Agents and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee and the Agents, the Trustee and the Agents will examine such Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture, but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of statements, calculations or other facts stated therein.
 
-77-

(c)          The Trustee and the Agents may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
 
(1)          this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;
 
(2)          the Trustee and the Agents will not be liable for and shall be protected pursuant to the indemnification provisions in Section 7.07 hereof from, any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
 
(3)          the Trustee and the Agents will not be liable for and shall be protected pursuant to the indemnification provisions in Section 7.07 hereof from, any action it takes or omits to take with respect to Notes of any Series in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such Series pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.
 
(d)          Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee and the Agents is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.
 
(e)          No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee or any Agent to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability, financially or otherwise. The Trustee and any Agent will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture or the Notes Documents at the request of any Holder, unless such Holder has offered to the Trustee or applicable Agent security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.
 
(f)           The Trustee and the Agents will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
 
Section 7.02          Rights of Trustee and the Agents.

-78-

(b)          Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
 
(c)          The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(g)          The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default, except a Default under Sections 6.01(1) or 6.01(2), unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer at Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from either of the Issuer or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the relevant Series, and such notice references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture and, in the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such Default or Event of Default exists.

(i)          The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee (i) in each of its capacities hereunder, including, without limitation, as each Agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder and (ii) in each document related hereto to which it is a party.
 
(j)          The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(k)          The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.
 
(l) The Trustee shall not have any duty or responsibility in respect of (i) any recording, filing, or depositing of the Indenture or any other agreement or instrument, monitoring or filing any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, the maintenance of any such recording, filing or depositing or to any re-recording, re-filing or re-depositing of any thereof, or otherwise monitoring the perfection, continuation of perfection or the sufficiency or validity of any security interest in or related to the Collateral, (ii) the acquisition or maintenance of any insurance or (iii) the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Collateral.

(m)          If the Trustee requests instructions from the Issuer or the Holders with respect to any action or omission in connection with the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled (without incurring any liability therefor) to refrain from taking such action and continue to refrain from acting unless and until the Trustee shall have received written instructions from the Issuer or the Holders, as applicable, with respect to such request.
 
(n)          The Trustee shall not be liable for failing to comply with its obligations under the Indenture in so far as the performance of such obligations is dependent upon the timely receipt of instructions and/or other information from any other person which are not received or not received by the time required.
 
(o)          The Trustee and the Agents shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee and the Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee or an Agents shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, they shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

In all cases the Trustee shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Indenture or any Security Document if it shall not have received such written instruction, advice or concurrence. Additionally, under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable for any delay in acting, or liability caused by such delay, while it is awaiting such direction or indemnity. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Trustee and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.

Section 7.03         Individual Rights of Trustee.
 
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest when a Default is continuing it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days of the date such conflict arises, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.
 
Section 7.05         Notice of Defaults.
 
If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes of any Series and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder of the Notes of that Series notice of the Default or Event of Default within 120 days after the occurrence thereof; provided, that except in the case of default in the payment of principal of, or the interest or premium, if any, on any Note of any Series, the Trustee shall be protected pursuant to the indemnification provisions in Section 7.07 hereof in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of Holders of that Series.
 
Section 7.06         Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.
 
(a)          Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee will send to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, Trust Indenture Act § 313(a).

The Issuer will further reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket disbursements and expenses incurred in accordance with any of the provisions hereof or any other document executed in connection herewith. Such expenses will include the reasonable and actual disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and outside counsel.
 
(b)          The Issuer and the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee and the Agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance and administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable and actual costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided that the failure by the Trustee to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and one local counsel in each jurisdiction (as applicable) and the Issuer will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent.
 
(c)          The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to any Series of Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee or any Agent.
 
(d)          To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes of any Series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes of that Series. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture as to any Series of Notes.
 
(e)          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08         Replacement of Trustee.
 
(a)          A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.
 
(b)          The Trustee may resign with respect to the Notes of one or more Series in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer at least 30 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing.

(1)          the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
 
(2)          the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
 
(3)          a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
 
(4)          the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
 
(c)          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Notes of one or more Series, the Issuer will promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of that Series. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.
 
(d)          If a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any one or more Series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
(e)          If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
-83-

(f)          A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of Notes for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to each Holder of each such Series. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to the expenses, liabilities and indemnities incurred by it prior to such replacement.
 
Section 7.09         Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
 
If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another entity, the successor entity without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act § 310(b).
 
Section 7.11         Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.
 
The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.
 
Section 7.12         Force Majeure.
 
In no event shall the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or the Agents be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of their obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces that are not foreseen and which are beyond their control, including strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, loss of wire or other communication facilities; it being understood that the Trustee and the Agents shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.01         Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.
 
The Issuer may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes of any Series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this ARTICLE VIII.
 
Section 8.02         Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
 
Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, with respect to Notes of any Series, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of such Series (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such Series (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
 
(1)          the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes of such Series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;
 
(2)          the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under ARTICLE II and Section 4.02 hereof;
 
(3)          the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

-85-

Section 8.03         Covenant Defeasance.
 
Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors will, with respect to Notes of any Series and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.08, 4.09 and 4.10 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes of such Series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes of such Series will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of a Series and related Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(9) (in the case of Sections 6.01(7) and 6.01(8), only with respect to the Issuer’s Subsidiaries) and Section 6.01(10) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.
 
Section 8.04         Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.
 
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof with respect to Notes of any Series:
 
(1)          the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or its designee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Series, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the outstanding Notes of such Series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes of such Series are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date; provided that in connection with any Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance that requires the payment of a premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to premium calculated as of the date of the deposit, with any deficit as of the maturity date of the Notes of such Series only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the maturity date of the Notes of such Series;
 
(2)          in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:
 
(A)          the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or
 
-86-

(B)          since the date Notes of such Series were first issued, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,
 
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
 
(3)          in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
 
(4)          no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes of the applicable Series on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds, or the imposition of Liens in connection therewith, to be applied to such deposit, or an Event of Default that will be cured by such Covenant Defeasance or Legal Defeasance) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;
 
(5)          such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
 
(6)          the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others;
 
(7)          the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

-87-

Section 8.05         Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
 
Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes of a Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
 
The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such Series.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the written request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any Government Securities held under this Indenture.
 
Section 8.06         Repayment to Issuer.
 
Subject to applicable state unclaimed property laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest, on, any Note of a Series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal of, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease.
 
Section 8.07         Reinstatement.
 
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such Series and under the Notes of such Series and the corresponding Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 9.02         With Consent of Holders of Notes.
 
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors of the Notes of any Series and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents with respect to the Notes of such Series, or the Notes of such Series, or the related Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes of such Series), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such Series or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes of such Series or the related Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes of such Series). Section 2.09 and 2.10 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.
 
Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, Intercreditor Agreement or Security Document and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes of a Series as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, Intercreditor Agreement or Security Document unless such amended or supplemental indenture, Intercreditor Agreement or Security Document directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, Intercreditor Agreement or Security Document.
 
However, without the consent of each Holder of Notes of the applicable Series affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver (including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04) under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes of any Series held by a non-consenting Holder):
 
(1)          reduce the principal amount of Notes of such Series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
 
-91-

(2)          reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note of such Series or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes of such Series (except with respect to notice periods for redemption and provisions relating to Section 4.08 hereof);
 
(3)          reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note of such Series;
 
(4)          waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes of such Series (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes of such Series by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
 
(5)          make any Note of such Series payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
 
(6)          make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes of such Series;
 
(7)          waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note of such Series (other than a payment required by Section 4.08 hereof);
 
(8)          release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee of the Notes of such Series or this Indenture with respect to such Series, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or
 
(9)          make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66⅔% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a series then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may make any change in any Security Document, the Intercreditor Agreement or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral with the effect of releasing the Liens securing the Obligations in respect of the Notes of such Series on all or substantially all of the Collateral.
 
It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes of a Series under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Series of Notes made with the consent of Holders of such Series of Notes, shall be made with respect to that Series of Notes only, and not any other Series of Notes, unless the Holders of such other Series of Notes consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver to such other Series of Notes.
 
-92-

For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants under ARTICLE IV, or action taken in compliance with the covenants in effect at the time of such action, shall be deemed to impair or affect any legal rights of any Holders of any Series of Notes to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of such Series to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holders’ Notes of any Series.
 
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will send or cause to be sent to the Holders of Notes of a Series affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a Series then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture with respect to such Series or the Notes of such Series or the related Note Guarantees.
 
Section 9.03         Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
 
Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes of one or more Series will be set forth in a Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate, or amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect, to the extent the Trust Indenture Act is then applicable hereto.
 
Section 9.04         Revocation and Effect of Consents.
 
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before 11:59 p.m. New York City Time on the Business Day immediately prior to the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder of each Series affected.
 
Section 9.05         Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
 
The Issuer may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for Notes of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate new Notes of that Series that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
 
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
 
-93-

Section 9.06         Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
 
The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this ARTICLE IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent with respect thereto have been satisfied.
 
ARTICLE X
NOTE GUARANTEES
 
Section 10.01       Note Guarantees.
 
(a)          Notwithstanding any provision of this ARTICLE X to the contrary, the provisions of this ARTICLE X will be applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Notes of any Series designated, pursuant to Section 2.02(r), as entitled to the benefits of the Note Guarantee of each Guarantor identified in such designation.
 
(b)          Subject to this ARTICLE X, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to the Holders of each Series of Notes 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:
 
(1)          the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such Series will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on such Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
 
(2)          in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any such Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will 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, redemption or otherwise.
 
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
 
(a)          The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.
 
-94-

(b)          If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
 
(c)          Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in ARTICLE VI hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in ARTICLE VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.
 
Section 10.02       Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
 
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this ARTICLE X, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
 
-95-

Section 10.03       Execution and Delivery.
 
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor shall execute the supplemental indenture substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A or such other supplemental indenture to this Indenture (including substantially in the form of the supplemental indenture set forth in Exhibit A). Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, each Guarantor who executes such supplemental indenture agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.
 
If an Officer whose signature is on such a supplemental indenture to this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
 
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
 
Section 10.04       Releases.
 
(a)          The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released in respect of the Notes of any Series:

(3)          only in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, if for any reason such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer; provided, that any Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to constitute a Subsidiary Guarantor or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary solely by virtue of no longer being a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (a “Partially Disposed Subsidiary”) shall only be released from its Note Guarantee to the extent that the other person taking an equity interest in such Partially Disposed Subsidiary is not an Affiliate of the Issuer that is controlled by Parent, Deutsche Telekom or any of their respective subsidiaries or an employee of any of the foregoing;
 
(4)          upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in ARTICLES VIII and XI hereof;

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

(1)          either:
 
(A)          all Notes of such Series that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
 
(B)          all Notes of such Series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the sending of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee or its designee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders of such Series of Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes of such Series not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of a premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the redemption date only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the redemption date;
 
-97-

(2)          the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture in respect of such Series; and
 
(3)          the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes of such Series at Maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.
 
In addition, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee (a) an Officer’s Certificate, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in the Indenture have been satisfied, and (b) an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent set forth in the Indenture have been satisfied.
 
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Notes of any Series, if money has been deposited with the Trustee for any Series pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of any Series of Notes under this Indenture.
 
Section 11.02       Application of Trust Money.
 
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
 
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:
 
(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and
 
(ii) if such Definitive Notes are required to bear a restricted notes legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) below or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:
 
(A) if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or
 
(B) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Issuer, a certification to that effect; or
 
(C) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (1) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) and (2) if the Issuer so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i).

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Definitive Note is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A (B) being transferred to a Person in reliance on Regulation S, or (C) being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such security in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such security in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note; and
 
Appendix A-4

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Notes Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)) or Regulation S Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B) or (b)(i)(C)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Notes Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Notes or Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon Company Order in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, a new Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Note. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.
 
(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.
 
Appendix A-5

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
 
(iv) In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or prior to or following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement with respect to such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer.

Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Note shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Note to the effect that such transfer is being made to a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A.

(iv) After or in connection with a transfer of any Initial Notes pursuant to and during the period of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement with respect to such Initial Notes to a person who is not the Issuer or an Affiliate thereof, all requirements pertaining to legends on such Initial Note will cease to apply, and a certificated Note or a Note in global form, in each case without restrictive transfer legends, will be available to the transferee of the Holder of such Initial Notes upon exchange of such transferring Holder’s certificated Initial Note or directions to transfer such Holder’s interest in the Global Note, as applicable.

Appendix A-9

(g) No Obligation of the Trustee.
 
(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the 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 or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).

In the event that such Definitive Notes are not issued, the Issuer expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture, the right of any beneficial owner of Notes to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such beneficial owner’s Notes as if such Definitive Notes had been issued.

[Form of Reverse Side of Initial Note]
 
3.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”)
 
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
 

(1)
INTEREST.
 
Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) shall accrue on the principal amount of this Note from and including April 9, 2020 until maturity at a rate per annum equal to 3.500%.
 
The Issuer promises to pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2020.  If an Interest Payment Date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
 

(2)
METHOD OF PAYMENT.
 
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the books and records of the Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent.  Such payment will be in such money of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. [The Holder of a Definitive Note is not required to surrender such Definitive Note to the Trustee in order to receive payment of principal at maturity.  Such Definitive Note, after payment has been made, shall be cancelled without the requirement of presentation.]3

Exhibit A-7


(3)
PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.
 
Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
 

(4)
INDENTURE.

The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and, following the qualification of the Base Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and, to the extent so included in the Indenture, to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer.  The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents, by each of the Secured Guarantors and on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Unsecured Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

 
(5)
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
 
Prior to March 15, 2025, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
 
•          100% of the principal amount thereof; or
 
•          the sum, as calculated by the Issuer, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (assuming that such Notes matured on March 15, 2025), exclusive of interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately preceding bullet point, the “Make-Whole Premium”).
 
On or after March 15, 2025, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof.
 
Exhibit A-8

We will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.
 
Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Bank as having a constant maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on March 15, 2025) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on March 15, 2025).
 
Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Bank obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer appoints to act as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.
 
Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case we will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer selects.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Bank, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Bank by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, calculated as the average of the five most recent daily rates published in the statistical release(s) designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after March 15, 2025, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if the release referred to above (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain the yields referred to above, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term “business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Exhibit A-9

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.

Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.


(6)
MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
 
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
 

(7)
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
 
Notice of redemption will be sent at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption of Notes, any such notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, state that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering, issuance of Indebtedness or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date (whether the original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed).
 
Exhibit A-10


(8)
REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
 
If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date for periods prior to such repurchase date pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Base Indenture. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions and identifying the Rating Event that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent and setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
 

(9)
REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
 
The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, including with respect to Additional Interest, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors are obligated to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer, whereby the Exchange Notes, having terms identical in all material respects to the Notes (except that the Exchange Note will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or Additional Interest) will be offered in exchange for surrender of the Notes.
 

(10) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
 
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
 

(11)
PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(12)        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended, supplemented or waived as provided in Article IX of the Base Indenture and in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents where applicable.
 
Exhibit A-11

(13)        DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable; provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to or as a result of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to such declaration. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. The requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.
 
(14)        TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
 
(15)        NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No past, present or future director, officer, member, manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
 
(16)        AUTHENTICATION.  This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
 
(17)        ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
 
(18)        CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. No redemption will be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) shall accrue on the principal amount of this Note from and including April 9, 2020 until maturity at a rate per annum equal to 3.750%.

(2)
METHOD OF PAYMENT.

•          100% of the principal amount thereof; or
 
•          the sum, as calculated by the Issuer, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (assuming that such Notes matured on February 15, 2027), exclusive of interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately preceding bullet point, the “Make-Whole Premium”).
 
On or after February 15, 2027, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof.
 
Exhibit A-8

We will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.
 
Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Bank as having a constant maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on February 15, 2027) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on February 15, 2027).
 
Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Bank obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer appoints to act as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.
 
Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case we will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer selects.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Bank, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Bank by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, calculated as the average of the five most recent daily rates published in the statistical release(s) designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after February 15, 2027, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if the release referred to above (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain the yields referred to above, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term “business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Exhibit A-9

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.

Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.


(6)
MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
 
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
 

(7)
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
 
Notice of redemption will be sent at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption of Notes, any such notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, state that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering, issuance of Indebtedness or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date (whether the original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed).
 
Exhibit A-10


(8)
REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
 
If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date for periods prior to such repurchase date pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Base Indenture. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions and identifying the Rating Event that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent and setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
 

(9)
REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, including with respect to Additional Interest, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors are obligated to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer, whereby the Exchange Notes, having terms identical in all material respects to the Notes (except that the Exchange Note will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or Additional Interest) will be offered in exchange for surrender of the Notes.
 

(10)
DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
 
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.

The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
 
(11)        PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
 
(12)        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended, supplemented or waived as provided in Article IX of the Base Indenture and in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents where applicable.
 
Exhibit A-11

(13)        DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable; provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to or as a result of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to such declaration. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. The requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.
 
(14)        TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
 
(15)        NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No past, present or future director, officer, member, manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
 
(16)         AUTHENTICATION.  This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
 
(17)        ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
 
(18)        CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. No redemption will be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

Exhibit A-5

[Form of Reverse Side of Initial Note]
 
3.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”)
 
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
 
(1)          INTEREST.
 
Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) shall accrue on the principal amount of this Note from and including April 9, 2020 until maturity at a rate per annum equal to 3.875%.
 
The Issuer promises to pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2020.  If an Interest Payment Date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
 
(2)          METHOD OF PAYMENT.
 
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the books and records of the Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent.  Such payment will be in such money of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. [The Holder of a Definitive Note is not required to surrender such Definitive Note to the Trustee in order to receive payment of principal at maturity.  Such Definitive Note, after payment has been made, shall be cancelled without the requirement of presentation.]3
 

3 Insert in Definitive Notes only.

Exhibit A-6

(3)          PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.
 
Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
 
(4)          INDENTURE.
 
The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and, following the qualification of the Base Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and, to the extent so included in the Indenture, to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer.  The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents, by each of the Secured Guarantors and on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Unsecured Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

(5)          OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
 
Prior to January 15, 2030, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
 
•             100% of the principal amount thereof; or
 
•             the sum, as calculated by the Issuer, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (assuming that such Notes matured on January 15, 2030), exclusive of interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately preceding bullet point, the “Make-Whole Premium”).
 
On or after January 15, 2030, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof.
 
Exhibit A-7

We will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.
 
Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Bank as having a constant maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on January 15, 2030) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on January 15, 2030).
 
Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Bank obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer appoints to act as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.
 
Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case we will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer selects.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Bank, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Bank by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, calculated as the average of the five most recent daily rates published in the statistical release(s) designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after January 15, 2030, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if the release referred to above (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain the yields referred to above, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term “business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Exhibit A-8

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.

Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.

(6)          MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
 
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
 
(7)          NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
 
Notice of redemption will be sent at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption of Notes, any such notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, state that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering, issuance of Indebtedness or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date (whether the original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed).
 
Exhibit A-9

(8)          REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
 
If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date for periods prior to such repurchase date pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Base Indenture. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions and identifying the Rating Event that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent and setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
 
(9)          REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
 
The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, including with respect to Additional Interest, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors are obligated to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer, whereby the Exchange Notes, having terms identical in all material respects to the Notes (except that the Exchange Note will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or Additional Interest) will be offered in exchange for surrender of the Notes.
 
(10)        DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
 
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
 
(11)        PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
 
(12)        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended, supplemented or waived as provided in Article IX of the Base Indenture and in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents where applicable.
 
Exhibit A-10

(13)        DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable; provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to or as a result of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to such declaration. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. The requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.
 
(14)        TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
 
(15)        NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No past, present or future director, officer, member, manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
 
(16)        AUTHENTICATION.  This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
 
(17)        ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
 
(18)        CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. No redemption will be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
 
(19)        GOVERNING LAW.  THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 2.01          Creation of the Notes; Designations.
 
In accordance with Section 2.01 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer hereby creates a Series of Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture.  The Notes of this Series shall be known and designated as the “4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2040” of the Issuer.  The Notes of this Series shall be entitled to the benefits of the Note Guarantee of each Guarantor signatory hereto, or that may hereafter execute a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 4.09 of the Base Indenture, each such Note Guarantee to be governed by Article X of the Base Indenture (including, without limitation, the provisions for release of such Note Guarantee in respect of the Notes of this Series pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Base Indenture).
 
Section 2.02          Forms Generally.
 
(a)          General.  The Notes of this Series and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.  The Notes of this Series may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.  Each Note of this Series will be dated the date of its authentication.  The Notes of this Series shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.
 
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes of this Series will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any such Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
 
(b)          Global Notes.  Notes of this Series issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).  Notes of this Series issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A 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 will represent such of the outstanding Notes of this Series as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of this Series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of this Series 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 of this Series represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof.
 
Section 2.03          Title and Terms of Notes.

(a)          The Notes of this Series issued on the Series Issue Date will be issued at an issue price of 98.025% of the principal amount thereof.

[Form of Reverse Side of Initial Note]
 
4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2040 (the “Notes”)
 
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
 
(1)          INTEREST.
 
Interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months) shall accrue on the principal amount of this Note from and including April 9, 2020 until maturity at a rate per annum equal to 4.375%.
 
The Issuer promises to pay interest and Additional Interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2020.  If an Interest Payment Date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.
 
(2)          METHOD OF PAYMENT.
 
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the books and records of the Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent.  Such payment will be in such money of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. [The Holder of a Definitive Note is not required to surrender such Definitive Note to the Trustee in order to receive payment of principal at maturity.  Such Definitive Note, after payment has been made, shall be cancelled without the requirement of presentation.]3

Exhibit A-6

(3)          PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.
 
Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
 
(4)          INDENTURE.
 
The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and, following the qualification of the Base Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and, to the extent so included in the Indenture, to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer.  The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents, by each of the Secured Guarantors and on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Unsecured Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

(5)          OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
 
Prior to October 15, 2039, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
 
•            100% of the principal amount thereof; or
 
•             the sum, as calculated by the Issuer, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (assuming that such Notes matured on October 15, 2039), exclusive of interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately preceding bullet point, the “Make-Whole Premium”).
 
On or after October 15, 2039, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof.

Exhibit A-7

We will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.
 
Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Bank as having a constant maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on October 15, 2039) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on October 15, 2039).
 
Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Bank obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer appoints to act as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.
 
Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case we will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer selects.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Bank, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Bank by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, calculated as the average of the five most recent daily rates published in the statistical release(s) designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after October 15, 2039, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if the release referred to above (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain the yields referred to above, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term “business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Exhibit A-8

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.

Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.

(6)          MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
 
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
 
(7)          NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
 
Notice of redemption will be sent at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption of Notes, any such notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, state that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering, issuance of Indebtedness or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date (whether the original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed).
 
Exhibit A-9

(8)          REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
 
If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date for periods prior to such repurchase date pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Base Indenture. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions and identifying the Rating Event that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent and setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.
 
(9)          REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
 
The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, including with respect to Additional Interest, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors are obligated to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer, whereby the Exchange Notes, having terms identical in all material respects to the Notes (except that the Exchange Note will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or Additional Interest) will be offered in exchange for surrender of the Notes.
 
(10)        DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
 
The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.
 
(11)        PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
 
(12)        AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  The Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended, supplemented or waived as provided in Article IX of the Base Indenture and in the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents where applicable.
 
Exhibit A-10

(13)          DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable; provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to or as a result of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to such declaration. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. The requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.
 
(14)       TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
 
(15)        NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No past, present or future director, officer, member, manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
 
(16)        AUTHENTICATION.  This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
 
(17)    ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
 
(18)        CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. No redemption will be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
 
(19)        GOVERNING LAW.  THIS NOTE WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 9, 2020 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and, following the qualification of the Base Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and, to the extent so included in the Indenture, to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer.  The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents, by each of the Secured Guarantors and on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Unsecured Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

(5)          OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
 
Prior to October 15, 2049, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
 
•          100% of the principal amount thereof; or
 
•          the sum, as calculated by the Issuer, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed (assuming that such Notes matured on October 15, 2049), exclusive of interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately preceding bullet point, the “Make-Whole Premium”).
 
On or after October 15, 2049, the Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, at any time or from time to time, on at least 15 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof.
 
Exhibit A-8

We will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but not including, the redemption date.
 
Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Bank as having a constant maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on October 15, 2049) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes (assuming that the Notes matured on October 15, 2049).
 
Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Bank obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
 
Independent Investment Bank” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers that the Issuer appoints to act as the Independent Investment Bank from time to time.
 
Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and their respective successors, unless any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case we will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer(s) the Issuer selects.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Bank, of the bid and asked prices for the applicable Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Bank by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, calculated as the average of the five most recent daily rates published in the statistical release(s) designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after October 15, 2049, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month); or (ii) if the release referred to above (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain the yields referred to above, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury Rate will be calculated at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third business day preceding such redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term “business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

Exhibit A-9

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.

Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.

(6)          MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
 
The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
 
(7)          NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
 
Notice of redemption will be sent at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption of Notes, any such notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, state that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, other offering, issuance of Indebtedness or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such notice of redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), 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 (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date (whether the original redemption date or the redemption date so delayed).

Exhibit A-10

(8)          REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.
 
If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will be required to make a Change of Control Offer to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date for periods prior to such repurchase date pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Base Indenture. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will send a notice to each Holder and the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions and identifying the Rating Event that together constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent and setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(13)        DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  If an Event of Default occurs (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, in each case, by notice to the Issuer, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable; provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to or as a result of any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of Notes, more than two years prior to such declaration. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences. The requirement to pay any Make-Whole Premium shall not arise in connection with any recovery of amounts due as a result of any breach of any covenant contained in the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture or the applicable Notes except where the transaction resulting in such breach was consummated with the intent to breach such covenant.
 
(14)        TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

The Issuer and the Guarantors shall commence the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer not later than 60 days after such effective date.
 
The Issuer and the Guarantors shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing or delivering the related Prospectus and other accompanying documents, if any, in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary holding the Securities stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law, substantially the following:
 
(i)
that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange;
 
(ii)
the Exchange Offer shall remain available for tenders by the Holders of Registrable Securities for a period of at least 20 Business Days from the date the Exchange Offer is commenced (or longer if required by applicable law including in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act) (the “Exchange Date”);
 
(iii)
that any Registrable Security not tendered by the Exchange Date will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not retain any rights under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly specified herein;
 
(iv)
that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to (A) surrender such Registrable Security to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and in the manner specified in the notice, or (B) effect such exchange otherwise in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for such Registrable Security, in each case prior to the close of business on the Exchange Date; and
 
(v)
that any Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election, not later than the close of business on the Exchange Date, by (A) delivering to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities exchanged or (B) effecting such withdrawal in compliance with the applicable procedures of the depositary for the Registrable Securities.

6

As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required to represent to the Issuer and the Guarantors that (i) any Exchange Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or if it is such an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then such Holder will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities, (v) such Holder holds all right, title and interest in and to the Registrable Securities to be exchanged, (vi) such Holder transfers all right, title and interest in the Registrable Securities to the Issuer in exchange for the Exchange Securities free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, or rights or interests of third parties, and (vii) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a public distribution of Exchange Securities.
 
As soon as practicable after the Exchange Date, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall:
 
(i)
accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and
 
(ii)
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Issuer and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities tendered by such Holder.
 
The Issuer and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer.  The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than (a) that the Exchange Offer does not violate in any material respect any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff and (b) as expressly set forth herein, including the making of the representations and warranties referred to in the second preceding paragraph and compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the third preceding paragraph.
 
7

(b)        In the event that (i) the Issuer and the Guarantors determine that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) hereof is not available or may not be completed as soon as practicable after the Exchange Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff or (ii) after the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the SEC, upon receipt of a written request (a “Shelf Request”) within 20 Business Days after the consummation of the Exchange Offer (x) from any Initial Purchaser or Holder representing that it holds Registrable Securities but is prohibited by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (y) from any Initial Purchaser or Holder that participates in the Exchange Offer, which represents that it received Exchange Securities that may be sold with only Securities Act restrictions (for the avoidance of doubt, other than restrictions resulting solely by reason of the status of such Initial Purchaser or Holder as an affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor) on transfer or (z) from any Initial Purchaser with respect to Registrable Securities that have, or that are reasonably likely to be determined to have, the status of unsold allotments in the original distribution of the Registrable Securities, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to Section 2(f), use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable, but in any event within 60 days, after such determination date or Shelf Request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement (which, if permitted, may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective promptly; provided that no Holder will be entitled to have any Registrable Securities included in any Shelf Registration Statement, or entitled to use the prospectus forming a part of such Shelf Registration Statement until such Holder shall have delivered a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire and provided such other information regarding such Holder to the Issuer as is contemplated by Section 3(b) hereof.
 
In the event that the Issuer and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (i) of the directly preceding paragraph, the filing of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement in compliance with Section 2(a) above shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to the preceding paragraph, provided that in such event the Issuer and the Guarantors shall remain obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective.  In the event that the Issuer and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (ii) of the directly preceding paragraph, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file and have become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Securities held by Participating Holders after completion of the Exchange Offer.
 
The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, subject to Sections 2(f) and 3(d), until the earlier of (x) the date that is 210 calendar days following the due date for Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the first year in which Sprint and its subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated results of Parent for at least nine months, (y) the date that the Securities cease to be Registrable Securities, and (z) the date on which the Securities covered by the Shelf Request have been transferred by all Holders (in the case of any Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(b)(i)) or all of the Participating Holder(s) making such Shelf Request (in the case of any Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(b)(ii)) (the period from the effective date thereof to such date, the “Shelf Effectiveness Period”).  The Issuer and the Guarantors further agree, subject to Section 2(f), to use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Issuer and the Guarantors for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if reasonably requested in writing pursuant to the notice provision hereof by a Participating Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to information relating to such Holder prior to the end of the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable.  The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Participating Holders copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.
 
8

(c)        The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof.  Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions, its own attorney fees (except as such fees may be covered by clause (vii) of the definition of Registration Expenses) and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.
 
(d)        An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or otherwise becomes effective pursuant to SEC rules.  A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC or is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act or otherwise becomes effective pursuant to SEC rules.
 
If a Registration Default occurs, the interest rate on the applicable Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period beginning on and including the day such Registration Default occurred and (ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to the subsequent 90-day period in which such Registration Default continues, in each case until and excluding the date such Registration Default ends, up to a maximum increase for all Registration Defaults in the aggregate of 0.50% per annum (collectively, the “Additional Interest”).  A Registration Default ends, and Additional Interest on account thereof shall cease to accrue, when the Securities cease to be Registrable Securities or, if earlier, (1) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (i) of the definition thereof, when the Exchange Offer is completed, (2) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (ii) or clause (iii) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective or (3) in the case of a Registration Default under clause (iv) of the definition thereof, when the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be required to pay Additional Interest in excess of the amount described above because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is pending, (ii) a Holder of Registrable Securities who is not entitled to the benefits of a Shelf Registration Statement shall not be entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default that pertains to such Shelf Registration Statement, (iii) a Holder of Registrable Securities who does not make a Shelf Request shall not be entitled to Additional Interest in respect of a Registration Default pertaining to a Shelf Registration Statement related to such Shelf Request, and (iv) a Holder who cannot take advantage of the Exchange Offer shall not be entitled to Additional Interest in respect of a Registration Default relating to the Exchange Offer.
 
9

(e)         Any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2(d) above shall be computed ratably on the basis of twelve 30-day months and shall be paid in cash semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first date an interest payment is made pursuant to the Indenture following the date of such Registration Default.
 
(f)         Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence or existence of a possible acquisition or business combination or other transaction, business development or event involving the Issuer or the Guarantors that may require disclosure in a Registration Statement, if the Issuer determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment (and not for the purpose of avoidance of its obligations hereunder) that such disclosure is not in the best interests of the Issuer and its stockholders, the Issuer and the Guarantors may delay the filing or the effectiveness, or may suspend the effectiveness, of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement and shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness thereof or amend or supplement the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement for one or more periods not to exceed an aggregate of 120 days during any 12-month period. Any such delay period will not defer the obligations of the Issuer to pay Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default.
 
(g)        The Issuer and the Guarantors covenant that they (including their agents and representatives) will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any Free Writing Prospectus.

(xvi)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (to the extent requested by the Participating Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (1) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Participating Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect to the business of the Issuer and its subsidiaries and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers similar to the Issuer to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested, (2) obtain customary opinions of counsel to the Issuer and the Guarantors (which opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Participating Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each requesting Participating Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (3) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “comfort” letters from the independent registered public accountants of the Issuer and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other independent registered public accountant of any subsidiary of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or of any business acquired by the Issuer or any Guarantor for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each Participating Holder (to the extent permitted by applicable professional standards) and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings, including but not limited to financial information contained in any preliminary prospectus or Prospectus and (4) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Participating Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in underwritten offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Issuer and the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (1) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement; it being agreed that the representations and warranties, opinions of counsel and comfort letters delivered in connection with the initial offering of the Securities are customary; and
 
14

(xvii)    so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, cause each Additional Guarantor upon the creation or acquisition by the Issuer of such Additional Guarantor, to execute a counterpart to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A and to deliver such counterpart to the Initial Purchasers no later than five Business Days following such Additional Guarantor executing its guarantee under the Indenture.
 
(b)        In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Issuer such information regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Issuer and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably request in writing; provided that if a Holder fails to provide the requested information within 10 Business Days after receiving such request, the Issuer or any Guarantor may exclude such Holder's Registrable Securities from such Shelf Registration Statement; provided further that any failure to provide such information shall not require the Issuer or the Guarantors to pay Additional Interest.
 
(c)        Each Participating Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(v)(2), Section 3(a)(v)(3), Section 3(a)(v)(4), Section 3(a)(v)(5), Section 3(a)(v)(6) or Section 3(a)(v)(7) hereof, such Person will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Person’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(a)(ix) hereof and, if so directed by the Issuer and the Guarantors, such Person will deliver to the Issuer and the Guarantors all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Person’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice.
 
(d)        If the Issuer and the Guarantors shall give any notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(f), Section 3(a)(v)(2), Section 3(a)(v)(3), Section 3(a)(v)(4), Section 3(a)(v)(5), Section 3(a)(v)(6) or Section 3(a)(v)(7) that results in suspension of disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(c), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the period of such suspension, and shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement on a day-by-day basis by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions.
 
15

(e)        The Participating Holders who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering.  In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment bank or investment banks and manager or managers (each an “Underwriter”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in such offering, subject to the approval of the Issuer and the Guarantors, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All fees, costs and expenses of the Underwriters, except for Registration Expenses, shall be borne solely by the Holders of Registrable Securities.
 
4.          Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer.  (a) The Staff has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.
 
The parties hereto understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act.
 
(b)        In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a period of up to 90 days after the Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof), in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above.  The Issuer and the Guarantors further agree that, subject to Section 3(c), Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4.
 
16

5.          Indemnification and Contribution.  (a) The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable and actual out-of-pocket legal fees and other actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or (2) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus used in violation of this Agreement or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or information relating to any Holder furnished to the Issuer in writing by the Representatives, any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, respectively, expressly for use therein.  In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus used in violation of this Agreement or any Issuer Information.
 
(b)        Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders, the directors and officers of the Issuer and the Guarantors and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus.  Any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, shall include provisions whereby each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders, the directors and officers of the Issuer and the Guarantors and each Person, if any, who controls the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and any selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Issuer in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus.
 
17

(c)        If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above.  If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall assume and control the defense of such action and shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 5(a) and 5(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 5(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder).  In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded upon advice of counsel that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, in which case for clauses (i)-(iv), the Indemnifying Person’s obligations shall be only for reasonable and actual outside counsel fees and expenses.  It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, (y) for any other Holder, its directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders (other than any Initial Purchaser) and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Issuer.  The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
 
18

(d)        If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and the Guarantors from the offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Issuer and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
(e)        The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above.  The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5 are several and not joint.
 
(f)         The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
 
19

(g)        The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Guarantors or the officers or directors of or any Person controlling the Issuer or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.
 
6.          General.
 
(a)        No Inconsistent Agreements.  The Issuer and the Guarantors represent, warrant and agree that (i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Issuer or any Guarantor under any other agreement in effect as of the date hereof and (ii) neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
 
(b)        Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuer and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent (excluding Registrable Securities held by the Issuer, the Guarantors and their affiliates); provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder.  Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Registrable Securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose Registrable Securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Registrable Securities being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer.
 
(c)        Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telecopier/facsimile, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Issuer by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Issuer and the Guarantors, initially at the Issuer’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other persons at their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c).  All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied/faxed; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.  Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.

20

(d)        Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture.  If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.  The Initial Purchasers (solely in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Issuer or the Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.
 
(e)        Third Party Beneficiaries.  Each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder, in each case subject to Section 6(j) hereof.
 
(f)         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
 
(g)        Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
 
(h)        Governing Law.  This Agreement, and any claims, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof that would require the application of any other law.
 
(i)         Entire Agreement; Severability.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
 
21

(j)         Exclusive Remedy.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof) or in the Indenture to the contrary, the payment of Additional Interest shall be the only remedy available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Securities for any Registration Default or other failure to comply with this Agreement.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the harm caused by a Registration Default would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate as of the date hereof, and that the Additional Interest is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from a Registration Default.

Exhibit 99.1

T-Mobile Agrees to Sell $19 Billion of Senior Secured Notes

April 03, 2020

Bellevue, Washington – April 3, 2020 – T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMUS) (“T-Mobile”) announced today that T-Mobile USA, Inc. (“T-Mobile USA”), its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, has agreed to sell $3,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2025, $4,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027, $7,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2030, $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2040 and $3,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2050 (collectively, the “Notes”) in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering of the Notes is scheduled to close on April 9, 2020, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.  T-Mobile USA intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay amounts borrowed under the bridge credit agreement it incurred in connection with T-Mobile’s business combination with Sprint Corporation and liabilities under related interest rate protection agreements.

The Notes and related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, the guarantees or any other securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains certain forward-looking statements concerning T-Mobile. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, including information concerning future results and performance, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the expected closing of the offering of the Notes and difficulties in executing the offering of the Notes, as well as statements regarding the benefits of the business combination with Sprint Corporation (“Sprint”), including anticipated future financial and operating results, synergies, accretion and growth rates, and T-Mobile’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. There are several factors that could cause actual plans and results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, adverse economic, political or market conditions in the U.S. and international markets and other factors such as natural disasters, pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments, such as the coronavirus (“COVID-19”); the risk that the conditions imposed in connection with the regulatory approvals for the business combination, including the divestiture of Sprint’s Boost Mobile and Sprint prepaid wireless brands and certain other assets to DISH Network Corporation and ongoing commercial and transition services arrangements to be entered into in connection with such divestiture, could adversely affect T-Mobile and/or the expected benefits of the business combination; the ability of T-Mobile to make payments on debt or to repay existing or future indebtedness when due or to comply with the covenants contained therein; adverse changes in the ratings of T-Mobile’s debt securities or adverse conditions in the credit markets; negative effects of the business combination on the market price of T-Mobile’s common stock and on T-Mobile’s operating results, including as a result of changes in key customer, supplier, employee or other business relationships; the incurrence of significant costs and/or assumption of significant liabilities in connection with the business combination; failure to realize the expected benefits and synergies of the business combination in the expected timeframes or at all; costs or difficulties related to the integration of Sprint’s network, operations and financial reporting and internal controls into T-Mobile, including the effects of any material weakness in Sprint’s internal control over financial reporting; the risk of litigation or regulatory actions, including litigation or actions that may arise from T-Mobile’s consummation of the business combination during the pendency of the California Public Utility Commission’s review of the business combination; the inability of T-Mobile to retain and hire key personnel; effects of changes in the regulatory environment in which T-Mobile operates; changes in global, political, economic, business, competitive and market conditions; changes in tax and other laws and regulations; challenges in implementing T-Mobile’s business strategies or funding its operations; breaches of T-Mobile’s and/or its third-party vendors’ networks, information technology and data security, resulting in unauthorized access to customer confidential information; natural disasters, pandemics or public health crises, including the impact of COVID-19, terrorist attacks or similar incidents; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in T-Mobile’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and in its subsequent reports on Form 10-Q, including in the sections thereof captioned “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” as well as in its subsequent reports on Form 8-K, all of which are filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov and www.t-mobile.com.
