Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On June 4, 2014, TransDigm Inc. (TransDigm), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated (TD Group), TD Group and certain subsidiaries of TransDigm entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the Amendment and Restatement Agreement) with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the Agent), and the other agents and lenders named therein. Pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, TransDigm amended and restated its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2013 (the Existing Credit Agreement), into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the 2014 Credit Agreement) and amended certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2013, among TransDigm, TD Group, certain subsidiaries of TransDigm and the Agent. The 2014 Credit Agreement permits, among other things, (i) the payment of a special dividend of up to $1.7 billion to the holders of TD Groups common stock, par value $.01 per share, (ii) the issuance of the 2022 Notes and the 2024 Notes (each as defined below), (iii) the incurrence of certain new tranche D term loans (the Tranche D Term Loans) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $825 million, which Tranche D Term Loans were fully drawn on June 4, 2014 and mature on June 4, 2021, (iv) the increase of the total revolving commitments thereunder to $420 million, which includes a sublimit of up to $100 million of multicurrency revolving commitments, and (v) certain changes to certain affirmative and negative covenants and the financial covenant thereunder. The terms and conditions that apply to the Tranche D Term Loans, including pricing, are substantially the same as the terms and conditions that apply to the other term loans under the 2014 Credit Agreement.
The lenders and the agents (and each of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) under the 2014 Credit Agreement have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, cash management, underwriting, lending, commercial banking, trust, leasing services, foreign exchange and other advisory services to, or engage in transactions with, TransDigm and TD Group and their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. These parties have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation from TransDigm and TD Group and their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, for such services.
Issuance of Senior Subordinated Notes; Indentures
On June 4, 2014, TransDigm issued $2.350 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes, consisting of $1.150 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the 2022 Notes) and $1.200 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the 2024 Notes, and, together with the 2022 Notes, the Notes) at an issue price of 100% of the principal amount thereof in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and to persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The 2022 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 4, 2014 (the 2022 Indenture) among TransDigm, as issuer, TD Group and the subsidiaries of TransDigm named therein as guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee and the 2024 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 4, 2014 (the 2024 Indenture, and, together with the 2022 Indenture, the Indentures) among TransDigm, as issuer, TD Group and the subsidiaries of TransDigm named therein as guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
The 2022 Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.000% per annum, which accrues from June 4, 2014 and is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2015. The 2022 Notes mature on July 15, 2022, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2022 Indenture.
TransDigm may redeem some or all of the 2022 Notes at any time after June 4, 2014 at the redemption prices and on the terms specified in the 2022 Indenture. If TD Group or TransDigm experiences specific kinds of changes in control or TD Group or any of its restricted subsidiaries sells certain of its assets, then TransDigm must offer to repurchase the 2022 Notes on the terms set forth in the 2022 Indenture.
The 2024 Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.500% per annum, which accrues from June 4, 2014 and is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2015. The 2024 Notes
mature on July 15, 2024, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased, and are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2024 Indenture.
TransDigm may redeem some or all of the 2024 Notes at any time after June 4, 2014 at the redemption prices and on the terms specified in the 2024 Indenture. If TD Group or TransDigm experiences specific kinds of changes in control or TD Group or any of its restricted subsidiaries sells certain of its assets, then TransDigm must offer to repurchase the 2024 Notes on the terms set forth in the 2024 Indenture.
The Notes are subordinated to all of TransDigms existing and future senior debt, rank equally with all of its existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of its future debt that is expressly subordinated to the Notes. The Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated unsecured basis by TD Group and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries named in the Indentures. The guarantees of the Notes are subordinated to all of the guarantors existing and future senior debt, rank equally with all of their existing and future senior subordinated debt and rank senior to all of their future debt that is expressly subordinated to the guarantees of the Notes. The Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of TD Groups non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The Indentures contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit TD Groups ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, consummate certain assets sales, effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets. The Indentures contain events of default customary for agreements of their type (with customary grace periods, as applicable) and provide that, upon the occurrence of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to TD Group or TransDigm, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other type of event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a particular series may declare all Notes of such series, to be due and payable immediately.
Registration Rights Agreements
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, TransDigm, TD Group, TransDigms subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as representative for the initial purchasers listed therein, entered into registration rights agreements relating to each series of Notes, each dated June 4, 2014 (the Registration Rights Agreements). Under the Registration Rights Agreements, TransDigm and the guarantors agreed, for the benefit of the holders of each series of Notes, that they will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) within 180 days after the date the Notes were issued, and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective, one or more registration statements (collectively, the exchange offer registration statement) relating to an offer to exchange the 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes, as applicable, for an issue of SEC-registered notes (the Exchange Notes) with terms identical to the 2022 Notes or the 2024 Notes, as applicable (except that the Exchange Notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate as described below).
Under certain circumstances, including, if applicable, interpretations of the staff of the SEC, if TransDigm is not permitted to effect the exchange offer, TransDigm and the guarantors will use their reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective one or more shelf registration statements (collectively, the shelf registration statement) relating to resales of the Notes and to keep that shelf registration statement effective until the second anniversary of the date such shelf registration statement becomes effective, or such shorter period that will terminate when all Notes covered by such shelf registration statement have been sold.
If the exchange offer registration statement is not filed by December 1, 2014, the shelf registration statement is not filed within 60 days after the date on which the obligation to file the shelf registration statement arises, the exchange offer registration statement or, if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC by March 2, 2014, the exchange offer is not completed within 40 days after the filing of the exchange offer registration statement (or, if required, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective within 60 days after the filing of the shelf registration statement), or after either the exchange offer registration statement or the shelf registration statement is declared or becomes effective, such registration statement ceases to be effective or usable, TransDigm will pay additional interest at the rate of $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of transfer
restricted Notes for the first 90-day period immediately following, and increasing by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of transfer restricted Notes for each subsequent 90-day period, up to a maximum additional rate of 1.0% per annum thereafter until the exchange offer is completed, the shelf registration statement is declared effective or the obligation to complete the exchange offer and/or file the shelf registration statement terminates, at which time the interest rates will revert to the applicable original interest rates on the date the Notes were originally issued.
The above summaries of the Indentures, the Registration Rights Agreements, the Amendment and Restatement Agreement and the 2014 Credit Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the 2022 Indenture, the 2024 Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the 2022 notes, the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the 2024 Notes and the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1, 4.4, 4.7, 4.8 and 10.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Consolidated Interest Expense means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of, without duplication: (1) the aggregate of all cash and non-cash interest expense (net of interest income) with respect to all outstanding Indebtedness of such Person and its Restricted

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in the Appendix and Exhibits A and B to the Appendix are part of the terms of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication.
Two Officers shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.
A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.
27

Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes or such other information as the Trustee shall reasonably request and, in the case of an issuance of Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.14 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.09.
The Notes shall be issued only in registered form, without coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Registrar or any Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.
In authenticating such Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:
(a) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors in or pursuant to which the terms and form of the Notes were established, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such certificate, and if the terms and form of such Notes are established by an Officers Certificate pursuant to general authorization of the Board of Directors, such Officers Certificate;

(d) an Opinion of Counsel which shall state that the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and, when executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered by the Trustee, will be the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to any conditions and qualifications specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the Registrar ) and an office or agency where Notes
28
may be presented for payment (the Paying Agent ). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their registration of transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more additional paying agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or the Registrar without notice to any Holder.

The agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary incorporated or organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent.

The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists.

29
reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).
SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.

When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, such Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Company 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 taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 9.05 hereof).
(b) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
(c) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(d) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of notice of redemption under Section 3.03 hereof and ending at the close of business on such day, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.
(e) Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent or the person on whose behalf the Global Note is held) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.
(f) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes and for all other
30
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(g) None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the Trustee (including any Paying Agent or Registrar) 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.
(h) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among depositary participants or beneficial owners of interest in any global security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes.
If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity or a security bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionally with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Notes.
Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
31
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding, and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then, on and after that date, such Notes (or portions thereof) shall cease to be outstanding, and interest on them shall cease to accrue.
SECTION 2.09. Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes.
Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare, and the Trustee shall authenticate, Definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.11. Cancellation.

The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures and, if requested in writing, deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee in writing to deliver canceled Notes to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed, paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest.
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest at the applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall
32
fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee ( provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest) and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
SECTION 2.13. CUSIP or ISIN Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar identification numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN or such other similar identification numbers in notices of redemption or repurchase as a convenience to Holders; provided , however , that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or the omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or such other similar identification numbers.
SECTION 2.14. Issuance of Additional Notes.
The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price. The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Notes and all Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.
With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officers Certificate of the Company, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:
(1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, DTC shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, provided for the avoidance of doubt; or, if the Notes are not so listed, by lot or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the depository.

Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in integral multiples of $1,000. The provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.
SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall send to The Depository Trust Company (DTC) in the case of Global Notes, or mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address in the case of certificated notes.
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed, including CUSIP, ISIN or other similar identification numbers, if any, and shall state:
(a) the redemption date;
(b) the redemption price (or manner of calculation if not then known);
(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and
(h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar identification number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.
At the Companys request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Companys name and at its expense; provided , however , that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 5 days prior to the date the Company wishes the notice to be given, an Officers Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.
SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after 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.

SECTION 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, incur) any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness); provided , however , that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), in each case if, on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company would have been greater than 2.0 to 1.0; provided , however , that the amount of Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that may be incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors shall not exceed $100 million at any one time outstanding.
SECTION 4.10. Asset Sales.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company); (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:
48
(a) any liabilities (as shown on the Companys or such Restricted Subsidiarys most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the Companys or such Restricted Subsidiarys balance or the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on the date of such balance sheet, as determined by the Company) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets; (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received); and (c) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) after December 14, 2010 that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $150 million and 5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), shall, in each of (a), (b) and (c) above, be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this provision or for purposes of the second paragraph of this Section 4.10; and
(iii) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 545 days of receipt thereof either
(A) to prepay any Senior Debt or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a corresponding reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility (or effect a permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility regardless of the fact that no prepayment is required in order to do so (in which case no prepayment should be required)),
(B) to reinvest in Productive Assets ( provided that this requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, by the end of such 545-day period, has entered into a binding agreement under which it is contractually committed to reinvest in Productive Assets, and such investment is consummated within 120 days from the date on which such binding agreement is entered into, and, with respect to the amount of such investment, the reference to the 546th day after an Asset Sale in the second following sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the 121st day after the date on which such binding agreement is entered into (but only if such 121st day occurs later than such 546th day)) or
(C) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B).
49
Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in Cash Equivalents. On the 546th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines by Board Resolution not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B) and (iii)(C) of the next preceding sentence (each, a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date ), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B) and (iii)(C) of the next preceding sentence (each a Net Proceeds Offer Amount ) shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the Net Proceeds Offer ) on a date (the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date ) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders and holders of any other Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company requiring the making of such an offer, on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and such other Senior Subordinated Debt that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior Subordinated Debt was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (or, in respect of such other Senior Subordinated Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Subordinated Debt); provided , however , that if at any time any non-cash consideration (including any Designated Non-cash Consideration) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder, and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Net Proceeds Offer Amount is less than $40.0 million, the application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Net Proceeds Offer Amount to a Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until such time as such Net Proceeds Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts arising subsequent to the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date relating to such initial Net Proceeds Offer Amount from all Asset Sales by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries aggregates to at least $40.0 million, at which time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make a Net Proceeds Offer (the first date the aggregate of all such deferred Net Proceeds Offer Amounts is equal to $40.0 million or more shall be deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date).
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such paragraph to the extent that: (i) at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets, cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Marketable Securities; and (ii) such Asset Sale is for fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company); provided that any consideration consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Marketable Securities received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this paragraph shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
50
Notice of each Net Proceeds Offer will be sent to DTC, in the case of Global Notes, or mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders, in the case of certificated notes, within 30 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other Senior Subordinated Debt tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use any remaining Net Proceeds Offer Amount for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of any such Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset at zero.
The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.
SECTION 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates.
(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to occur any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (an Affiliate Transaction) involving aggregate payment or consideration in excess of $20.0 million unless (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arms-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company; and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $30.0 million, a Board Resolution adopted by the majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and an officers certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above.
(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 4.11(a) hereof shall not apply to: (i) reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined in good faith by the Companys Board of Directors or senior management; (ii) transactions between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; (iii) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) or by any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as determined in good faith by the Company; (iv) Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments permitted by this Indenture; (v) transactions effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Transaction; (vi)
51
payments or loans to employees or consultants that are approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; (vii) sales of Qualified Capital Stock; (viii) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided , however , that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (viii) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement taken as a whole are not materially disadvantageous to the Holders; (ix) transactions permitted by, and complying with, the provisions of Article 5 hereof, (x) any issuance of securities or other payments, awards, grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; and (xi) transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives an opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or accounting firm that such Affiliate Transaction is either fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or is on terms not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arms length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company.
SECTION 4.12. Liens.
The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Guarantor to, incur any Secured Debt that is not Senior Debt of such Person unless, contemporaneously therewith, such Person makes effective provision to secure the Notes or the relevant Guarantee, as applicable, equally and ratably with such Secured Debt for so long as such Secured Debt is secured by a Lien (the Initial Lien ). Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien securing the other Secured Debt and that holders of such other Secured Debt may exclusively control the disposition of property subject to the Initial Lien.
SECTION 4.13. Conduct of Business.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any businesses a majority of whose revenues are not derived from businesses that are the same or reasonably similar, ancillary or related to, or a reasonable extension, development or expansion of, the businesses in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged on the Issue Date (which shall include engineered components businesses not within the aerospace industry).
SECTION 4.14. Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance
52
with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
SECTION 4.15. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.
(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holders Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the Change of Control Offer ) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send, in the case of Global Notes, through the facilities of DTC and, in the case of certificated notes, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent or mailed, other than as may be required by law (the Change of Control Payment Date ). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof 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 thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver (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 such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
Prior to the mailing of the notice referred to in Section 4.15(a) above, but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall: (i) repay in full all Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and all other Senior Debt the terms of which require repayment upon a Change of Control; or (ii) obtain the requisite consents under the Credit Facilities and all such other Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided below. The Companys failure to comply with the covenant described in the immediately preceding
53
sentence shall constitute an Event of Default described in clause (c) and not in clause (b) under Section 6.01 hereof.
(c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the Company complies with the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations, the Company shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 hereof and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof prior to the date on which notice of the Change of Control Offer must be sent.
A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control occurring, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.
SECTION 4.16. No Senior Subordinated Debt.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, incur or suffer to exist Indebtedness that is senior in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantors Guarantee, as the case may be, and subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, unsecured Indebtedness is not subordinated or junior to Secured Debt merely because it is unsecured.
SECTION 4.17. Additional Guarantees.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or acquire another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary unless such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary within 20 Business Days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, providing for a senior subordinated guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; provided , however , that such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary need not execute and deliver such a supplemental indenture for so long as such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary is an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; provided further , however , that the Company will cause a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that was an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary but has ceased to qualify as an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, providing for a senior subordinated guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary no later than 20 Business Days after the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company in which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary ceased to be an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; provided further , however , that, if at any time, Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors because they are Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries constitute in the aggregate more than 5% of Total Assets as of the end of the most
54
recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements are available or more than 5% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements are available, then the Company shall cause one or more such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to become Guarantors (notwithstanding that such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries are, individually, Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries), no later than 20 Business Days after the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter in which such requirement was triggered, such that the foregoing condition ceases to be true.
SECTION 4.18. Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.
The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, other than Permitted Subsidiary Preferred Stock. The provisions of this Section 4.18 will not apply to (w) any of the Guarantors, (x) any transaction as a result of which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will own any Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiary whose Preferred Stock is being issued or sold and (y) Preferred Stock that is Disqualified Capital Stock and is issued in compliance with Section 4.09 hereof.
SECTION 4.19. Suspension of Covenants.
(a) During any period of time following the Issue Date that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a Covenant Suspension Event ), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the following provisions of the Indenture:
(1) Section 4.07;
(2) Section 4.08;
(3) Section 4.09;
(4) Section 4.10;
(5) Section 4.11;
(6) Section 4.13;
(7) Section 4.16;
(8) Section 4.17;
(9) Section 4.18; and
(10) clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01
55
(collectively, the Suspended Covenants ). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds with respect to any applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date shall be set at zero at such date (the Suspension Date ). In addition, in the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and, on any subsequent date (the Reversion Date ), one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the Suspension Period . Within 30 days of the Reversion Date, any Restricted Subsidiary that would have been required during the Suspension Period but for the Suspended Covenants by Section 4.17 to execute a supplemental indenture shall execute such supplemental indenture required by such covenant. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).
(b) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09 to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date. To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness. Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been made pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.07.
(c) If (i) a Change of Control occurs that results in either (a) the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person or Group (as defined in the definition of Change of Control) other than an Affiliate (other than a Person that becomes an Affiliate solely as a result of such transaction) of the Company or (b) any Person or Group other than an Affiliate (other than a Person that becomes an Affiliate solely as a result of such transaction) of the Company becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of shares representing 100% of the total ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Company or Holdings and (ii) such Person or Group acquiring control pursuant to clause (i) above is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, then the Company shall not be subject to Section 4.03(a) from that time if and for so long as such Person or Group maintains Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies.
(d) The Company shall give the Trustee prompt (and in any event not later than five Business Days after a Covenant Suspension Event) written notice of any Covenant Suspension Event. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Company shall give the Trustee prompt (and in any event not later than five Business Days after a Covenant Suspension Event) written
56
notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.

ARTICLE VI
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 6.01. Events of Default.
Event of Defaults are:
(a) the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable if the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 hereof);
(b) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to purchase) (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 hereof);
(c) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained herein if the default continues for a period of 60 days (or 180 days in the case of the covenant described under Section 4.03 hereof) after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01 hereof, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);
(d) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Securitization Entity), or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more at any time;
60
(e) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable;
(f) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to, or within the meaning of, Bankruptcy Law:
(i) commences a voluntary case,
(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,
(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or
(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
(g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;
(ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or
(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;
(iv) and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.
SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.
If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a notice of acceleration (the Acceleration Notice ), and the same (i) shall become immediately due and payable or (ii) if there are any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities, shall become immediately due and payable upon the first to occur of an acceleration under the Credit Facilities or five Business Days after receipt by the Company and the Representative under the Credit Facilities of such Acceleration Notice but only if such Event of Default is then continuing. If an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto
61
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) ( provided , however , that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then-outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes 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. However, the Trustee
62
may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.
A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
SECTION 6.07. 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, premium and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal amount of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
63
SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
SECTION 6.10. Priorities.

64
SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance Section
SECTION 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers Certificate, at any time elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.
SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
Upon the Companys exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, Legal Defeasance ). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of, and at the expense of, the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in
71
Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Companys obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Companys obligations in connection therewith, and (d) the provisions of this Article 8 with respect to Legal Defeasance. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.
SECTION 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.
Upon the Companys exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, Covenant Defeasance ), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants but shall continue to be deemed outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Companys exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(d) and 6.01(e) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal amount at maturity of, premium and interest on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;
72
(b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable 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 will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to 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;
(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence and the grant of a Lien to secure such Indebtedness) or, insofar as Section 6.01 (f) or 6.01(g) hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;
(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
(f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may be subject to customary exceptions) to the effect that (A) the trust funds will not be subject to any rights of holders of Senior Debt, including those arising under this Indenture, and (B) after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of the preference provisions of Section 547 of the United States Federal Bankruptcy Code;
(g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;
73
(h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for, or relating to, the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (b) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not therefor delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable or (B) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.
SECTION 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the Trustee ) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company 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 amount, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company shall 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.
Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company 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 firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
SECTION 8.06. Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when (i) either (a) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
74
trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have (i) become due and payable, pursuant to an optional redemption notice or otherwise or (ii) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (ii) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Company; and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.
SECTION 8.07. Repayment to Company.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as a secured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided , however , that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company, cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
SECTION 8.08. Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Companys obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided , however , that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
SECTION 8.09. Survival.
The Trustees rights under this Article 8 shall survive termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

ARTICLE IX
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.
Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes without the consent of any Holder:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
(b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to, or in place of, certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 or the Appendix hereof relating to the form of the Notes (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder;
(c) to provide for the assumption of the Companys, Holdings or a Guarantors obligations to the Holders by a successor to the Company, Holdings or a Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 11 hereof,
(d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;
(e) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;
(f) to provide for the issuance of Notes issued after the Issue Date in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture;
(g) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that any such supplemental indenture and/or Guarantee need only be executed by the Company, such Guarantor and the Trustee;
(h) to provide for the issuance of Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes; or
(i) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the Description of Notes to the extent that such provision in the Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes.
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee
76
shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture (including Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), the Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be outstanding for purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustees own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
77
(b) reduce the principal of, or change or have the effect of changing, the fixed maturity of any Note, or change the date on which any Note may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;
(c) reduce the rate of, or change or have the effect of changing, the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Note;
(d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
(e) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;
(g) after the Companys obligation to purchase Notes arises thereunder, amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto after a Change of Control has occurred;
(h) modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the related definitions affecting the subordination or ranking of the Notes or the Guarantees in a manner which adversely affects the Holders; or
(i) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.
An amendment under this Section may not make any change that adversely affects the rights under Article 10 or 12 hereof or any supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Guarantee of the Notes by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or any holder of Senior Debt of the Company, Holdings or of a Guarantor then outstanding (including any such change of this paragraph of this Section 9.02) unless the holders of such Senior Debt (or their Representative) consent to such change.
SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.
SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion
78
of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
SECTION 9.05. Notation on, or Exchange of, Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company, in exchange for all Notes, may issue, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate, new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be given and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.
ARTICLE X
SUBORDINATION
SECTION 10.01. Agreement to Subordinate.
The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment of all Senior Debt of the Company and that the subordination is for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the holders of such Senior Debt. The Notes shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company, and only Indebtedness of the Company which is Senior Debt of the Company shall rank senior to the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 10 shall be subject to Section 10.12.
SECTION 10.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property:
79
(1) holders of Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment; and
(2) until the Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article 10 shall be made to holders of such Senior Debt as their interests may appear, except that Holders may receive shares of stock and any debt securities that are subordinated to such Senior Debt to at least the same extent as the Notes.
SECTION 10.03. Default on Senior Debt of the Company.
The Company shall not pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or make any deposit pursuant to Section 8.04 and may not purchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Notes (collectively, pay the Notes ) if either of the following (a Payment Default ) occurs: (1) any Designated Senior Debt of the Company is not paid in full in cash when due; or (2) any other default on Designated Senior Debt of the Company occurs, and the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash; provided , however , that the Company shall be entitled to pay the Notes without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of any Designated Senior Debt with respect to which the Payment Default has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of any default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt of the Company pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company shall not pay the Notes for a period (a Payment Blockage Period ) commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee of (with a copy to the Company) written notice (a Blockage Notice ) of such default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter. The Payment Blockage Period shall end earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (1) by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice; (2) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or (3) because such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or repaid in full in cash. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding two sentences (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt, the Company shall be entitled to resume payments on the Notes after termination of such Payment Blockage Period. The Notes shall not be subject to more than one Payment Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Debt of the Company during such period; provided , however , that if any Blockage Notice within such 360-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated Senior Debt of the Company (other than the Bank Indebtedness), the Representative of the Bank Indebtedness shall be entitled to give another Blockage Notice within such period; provided further , however , that in no event shall the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate
80
during any 360-day consecutive period, and there must be 181 days during any 360-day consecutive period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. For purposes of this Section, no default or event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt of the Company initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.
SECTION 10.04. Acceleration of Payment of Notes.
If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Debt of the Company (or their Representatives) of the acceleration.
SECTION 10.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.
If a distribution is made to Holders that, because of this Article 10, should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt of the Company and pay it over to them as their interests may appear. If any Designated Senior Debt of the Company is outstanding, the Company shall not pay the Notes until five Business Days after the Representatives of all the issues of Designated Senior Debt of the Company receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, shall be entitled to pay the Notes only if this Article 10 otherwise permits payment at that time.
SECTION 10.06. Subrogation.
After all Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full, and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to such Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of such Senior Debt which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on such Senior Debt.
SECTION 10.07. Relative Rights.
This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt of the Company. Nothing in this Indenture shall:
(1) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; or
(2) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of the Company to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders.
81
SECTION 10.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.
No right of any holder of Senior Debt of the Company to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.
SECTION 10.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 10, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that under this Article 10 would prohibit the making of any payments to or by the Trustee unless and until, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice satisfactory to it that such payments are prohibited by this Article 10. The Company, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled to give the notice; provided , however , that, if an issue of Senior Debt of the Company has a Representative, only the Representative shall be entitled to give the notice. Prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to presume that no such fact exists. Unless the Trustee shall have received the notice provided for in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such payment and to apply the same to the purpose for which it was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date. The foregoing shall not apply to any Affiliate of the Company acting as Paying Agent.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to hold Senior Debt of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 10 with respect to any Senior Debt of the Company which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 10 to the contrary, all amounts owed to the Trustee (including amounts owed pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof) in each of its capacities hereunder shall not be subordinated to any Senior Debt of the Company or otherwise.
SECTION 10.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative.
Whenever any Person is to make a distribution or give a notice to holders of Senior Debt of the Company, such Person shall be entitled to make such distribution or give such notice to their Representative (if any).
SECTION 10.11. Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Accelerate.
The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Notes by reason of any provision in this Article 10 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 10 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Notes.
82
SECTION 10.12. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust under Article 8 hereof by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Debt of the Company or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 10 if the provisions of this Article 10 were not violated at the time funds were deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to Article 8 hereof, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Debt of the Company or any other creditor of the Company.
SECTION 10.13. Trustee Entitled to Rely.
Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee, subject to Section 7.01, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (1) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.02 hereof are pending, (2) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (3) upon the Representatives of Senior Debt of the Company for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of the Company to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 10, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 10.

Each Holder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to execute such documentation and to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Debt of the Company as provided in this Article 10 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 10.15. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt of the Company.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any
83
holders of Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10 or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
SECTION 10.16. Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt of the Company on Subordination Provisions.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt of the Company, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt, and such holder of such Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.
ARTICLE XI
Guarantees
SECTION 11.01. Guarantees.
Holdings and each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of, and interest on, the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the Guaranteed Obligations ). Holdings and each Guarantor further agree that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from Holdings or such Guarantor and that Holdings and such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.
Holdings and each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Holdings and each Guarantor waive notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Holdings and each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations; or
84
(f) except as set forth in Section 11.07, any change in the ownership of Holdings or such Guarantor.
Holdings and each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each Guarantee is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article 12 hereof, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and each Guarantee is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture.
Except as expressly set forth in Sections 11.02 and 11.07 hereof, the obligations of Holdings and each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Holdings and each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner, or to any extent, vary the risk of such Holdings or such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of Holdings or such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
Holdings and each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against Holdings or any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, Holdings and each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (1) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (3) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.
Holdings and each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full of all Guaranteed
85
Obligations and all obligations to which the Guaranteed Obligations are subordinated as provided in Article 12. Holdings and each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of Holdings or such Guarantors Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Holdings or such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.
Holdings and each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section.
SECTION 11.02. Limitation on Liability.
Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
SECTION 11.03. Successors and Assigns.
This Article 11 shall be binding upon Holdings and each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders, and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to, and be vested in, such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.
SECTION 11.04. No Waiver.
Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 11 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 11 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 11.05. Modification.
No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 11, nor the consent to any departure by Holdings or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to, or demand on, Holdings or any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
86
SECTION 11.06. [Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 11.07. Release of Guarantor.
Upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder of Senior Debt of the Company or of any Guarantor) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor (in each case, other than a sale or disposition to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company), or upon designation of a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article 11 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. If the Guarantor becomes an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or ceases to be a Subsidiary or if the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 hereof, or if its obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Section 8.06 hereof, Holdings and each Guarantor shall be released from all obligations under this Article 11 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 11.07.
SECTION 11.08. Contribution.
Holdings and each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled, upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations, to contribution from Holdings and each Guarantor, as applicable, in an amount equal to Holdings or such Guarantors pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP (for purposes hereof, Holdings net assets shall be those of all its Consolidated Subsidiaries other than the Guarantors).
ARTICLE XII
SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTEES
SECTION 12.01. Agreement to Subordinate.
Holdings and each Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by Holdings or such Guarantors Guarantee (as the case may be) is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 12, to the prior payment of all Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as applicable) and that the subordination is for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the holders of such Senior Debt. The Guaranteed Obligations of Holdings or a Guarantor (as applicable) shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor, and only Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (including Holdings or such Guarantors Guarantee of Senior Debt of the Company) shall rank senior to the Guaranteed Obligations of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
87
SECTION 12.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of Holdings or any Guarantor to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) or its property:
(1) holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to the Guarantee of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be); and
(2) until the Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article 12 shall be made to holders of such Senior Debt as their interests may appear, except that Holders may receive shares of stock and any debt securities of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) that are subordinated to such Senior Debt to at least the same extent as its Guarantee.
SECTION 12.03. Default on Senior Debt of Guarantor.
Neither Holdings nor any Guarantor shall make any payment on its Guarantee or purchase, redeem or otherwise retire or defease any Notes or other Guaranteed Obligations (collectively, pay its Guarantee ) if either of the following (a Payment Default ) occurs (1) any Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) is not paid in full in cash when due; or (2) any other default on Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) occurs, and the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms; unless, in either case, the Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash; provided , however , that Holdings or any Guarantor shall be entitled to pay its Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of any Designated Senior Debt with respect to which the Payment Default has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of any default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall not pay its Guarantee for a period (a Payment Blockage Period ) commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee of (with a copy to Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be)) written notice (a Blockage Notice ) of such default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter. The Payment Blockage Period shall end earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (1) by written notice to the Trustee and Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice; (2) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or (3) because such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or repaid in full in cash. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding
88
two sentences (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Debt giving such Payment Notice or the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt, Holdings or any Guarantor shall be entitled to resume payments pursuant to its Guarantee after termination of such Payment Blockage Period. Neither Holdings nor any Guarantor shall be subject to more than one Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) during such period; provided , however , that if any Blockage Notice within such 360-day period is given by, or on behalf, of any holders of Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) (other than the Bank Indebtedness), the Representative of the Bank Indebtedness shall be entitled to give another Blockage Notice within such period; provided further , however , that in no event shall the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360-day consecutive period, and there must be 181 days during any 360-day consecutive period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. For purposes of this Section, no default or event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.
SECTION 12.04. Demand for Payment.
If a demand for payment is made on Holdings or a Guarantor pursuant to Article 11 hereof, the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) (or their Representatives) of such demand.
SECTION 12.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.
If a distribution is made to Holders that, because of this Article 12, should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or the applicable Guarantor (as the case may be) and pay it over to them or their Representatives as their interests may appear. If any Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or a Guarantor is outstanding, Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall not make a payment on its Guarantee until five Business Days after the Representatives of all the issuers of Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, shall be entitled to pay the Notes only if this Article 12 otherwise permits payment at that time.
SECTION 12.06. Subrogation.
After all Senior Debt of Holdings or a Guarantor is paid in full, and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be). A distribution made under this Article 12 to holders of such Senior Debt which otherwise
89
would have been made to Holders is not, as between Holdings or the relevant Guarantor and Holders, a payment by Holdings or such Guarantor on such Senior Debt.
SECTION 12.07. Relative Rights.
This Article 12 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or a Guarantor. Nothing in this Indenture shall:
(1) impair, as between Holdings or a Guarantor and Holders (as the case may be), the obligation of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be), which is absolute and unconditional, to pay its Guarantee to the extent set forth in Article 11; or
(2) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a default by Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) under its Guarantee, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders.
SECTION 12.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.
No right of any holder of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the Guarantee of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.
SECTION 12.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall continue to make payments on any Guarantee, and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments to or by the Trustee, unless and until, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice satisfactory to it that such payments are prohibited by this Article 12. The Company, Holdings or the relevant Guarantor, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be entitled to give the notice; provided , however , that, if an issue of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor (as the case may be) has a Representative, only the Representative shall be entitled to give the notice. Prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to presume that no such fact exists. Unless the Trustee shall have received the notice provided for in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such payment and to apply the same to the purpose for which it was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date. The foregoing shall not apply to any Affiliate of the Company acting as Paying Agent.
The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, shall be entitled to hold Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such
90
holder. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12 to the contrary, all amounts owed to the Trustee (including amounts owed pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof) in each of its capacities hereunder shall not be subordinated to any Senior Debt of Holdings or a Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 12.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative.
Whenever any Person is to make a distribution or give a notice to holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor, such Person shall be entitled to make such distribution or give such notice to their Representative (if any).
SECTION 12.11. Article 12 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Demand Payment.
The failure to make a payment pursuant to a Guarantee by reason of any provision in this Article 12 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 12 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on Holdings or any Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee.
SECTION 12.12. Trustee Entitled to Rely.
Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (1) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (2) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (3) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior Debt and other indebtedness of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be), the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 12.
SECTION 12.13. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to execute such documentation and to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
91
SECTION 12.14. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt of Guarantor.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of such Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
SECTION 12.15. Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or Guarantors on Subordination Provisions.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt, and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

103
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 Company 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 securities legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

104
reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase,

If no Rule 144A Global Notes or Permanent Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue, and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers Certificate, a new Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

(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 Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
(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 the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Notes, such
105
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 or Regulation S, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

(iii) After a transfer of any Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes pursuant to and during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, all requirements pertaining to legends on such Initial Note or such Private Exchange Note will cease to apply, the requirements requiring any such Initial Note or such Private Exchange Note issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will cease to apply, and a certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange Note or an Initial Note or Private Exchange Note in global form, in each case without restrictive transfer legends, will be available to the transferee of the Holder of such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes upon exchange of such transferring Holders certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange Note or appropriate directions to transfer such Holders interest in the Global Note, as applicable.

(v) Upon the consummation of a Private Exchange with respect to the Initial Notes, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Notes that Initial Notes issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial Notes that do not exchange their Initial Notes, and Private Exchange Notes in global form with the global securities legend and the Restricted Notes Legend set forth in Exhibit A
107
hereto, will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Private Exchange.
(f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. Interest. TransDigm Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture, being herein called the Company ), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.000% per annum from June 4, 2014 until maturity; provided that, if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, additional interest (the Additional Interest ) of $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes will accrue on the Notes for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default (increasing by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00% per annum). The Company shall pay interest and Additional Interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 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 after July 15, 2014 and 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 January 15, 2015. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is equal to the interest rate on the Note then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 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 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 4, 2014 ( Indenture ) among the Company, Holdings, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the Trustee ). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such 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 obligations of the Company.
5. Subordination. The Notes are subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company, as defined in the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior Debt of the Company must be paid before the Notes may be paid. The Company agrees, and each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
6. Optional Redemption.
On and after the date hereof, the Company shall be entitled to redeem the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) at its option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on July 15 of the year set forth below:
Year |
Percentage | |||
2017 |
104.500 | % | ||
2018 |
103.000 | % | ||
2019 |
101.500 | % | ||
2020 and thereafter |
100.000 | % |
In addition, prior to July 15, 2017, the Company shall be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem Notes (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Securities, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings (provided that if the Equity Offering is an offering by Holdings, a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the amount required to redeem any such Notes is contributed to the equity capital of the Company); provided, however, that: (1)
6
at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Notes held, directly or indirectly by the Company or its Affiliates); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days after the date of the related Equity Offering.
Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Companys discretion, be subject to the completion of the related Equity Offering.
Prior to July 15, 2017, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Notice of such redemption shall be sent to The Depository Trust Company (DTC), in the case of Global Notes, or mailed by first-class mail to each Holders registered address in the case of certificated notes (and, to the extent permitted by applicable procedures and regulations, electronically), not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date.
7. Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
8. Repurchase at Option of Holder.
If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holders Notes pursuant to the offer described in the Indenture (the Change of Control Offer ), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send in the case of Global Notes, through the facilities of DTC, and in the case of certificated notes, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the Change of Control Payment Date ). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, under certain circumstances, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders (a Net Proceeds Offer ) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture. The Net Proceeds Offer may also be made to holders of other Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company requiring the making of such an offer. Pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall offer to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and, if it so elects, such other Senior Subordinated Debt that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior
7
Subordinated Debt was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture (or, in respect of such other Senior Subordinated Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Subordinated Debt). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes or such other Senior Subordinated Debt tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or such other Senior Subordinated Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased in accordance with the depositorys procedures (based on amounts tendered). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive a Net Proceeds Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Notes.
9. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be sent to DTC in case of Global Notes and in the case of certificated notes mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 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. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 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 Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer 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 Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on such day or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding 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. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 of the Indenture or the Appendix
8
to the Indenture relating to the form of the Notes (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder, to provide for the assumption of the Companys, Holdings or any Guarantors obligations to Holders by a successor to the Company, Holdings or a Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to provide for the issuance of Notes issued after the Issue Date in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision in the Description of Notes or to the extent that such provision in the Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes.
13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) the failure to pay interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable if the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 of the Indenture); (ii) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to purchase) (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 of the Indenture); (iii) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture if the default continues for a period of 60 days (or 180 days in the case of the covenant described in Section 4.03 of the Indenture) after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement); (iv) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Securitization Entity), or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates to $50.0 million or more at any time; (v) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy affecting the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (vi) above with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
9
Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Additional Interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
14. Guarantee. The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated basis by Holdings and each of the Guarantors.
15. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
16. No Recourse Against Others. A past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Holdings, the Company or any Guarantor (other than the Company, Holdings or any Guarantor), as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of Holdings, the Company or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
17. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
18. 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).
19. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 4, 2014 (the Registration Rights Agreement ), among the Company, Holdings, the Guarantors and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers of the Notes. Each Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, including the obligations of the Holders with
10
respect to a registration and the indemnification of the Company and other named persons to the extent provided therein.

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.

6.000% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2022
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. Interest. TransDigm Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture, being herein called the Company ), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.000% per annum from June 4, 2014 until maturity; provided that, if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, additional interest (the Additional Interest ) of $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes will accrue on the Notes for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default (increasing by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00% per annum). The Company shall pay interest and Additional Interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 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 after July 15, 2014 and 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 January 15, 2015. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is equal to the interest rate on the Note then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 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 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 4, 2014 ( Indenture ) among the Company, Holdings, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the Trustee ). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such 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 obligations of the Company.
5. Subordination. The Notes are subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company, as defined in the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior Debt of the Company must be paid before the Notes may be paid. The Company agrees, and each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
6. Optional Redemption.
On and after the date hereof, the Company shall be entitled to redeem the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) at its option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on July 15 of the year set forth below:
Year |
Percentage | |||
2017 |
104.500 | % | ||
2018 |
103.000 | % | ||
2019 |
101.500 | % | ||
2020 and thereafter |
100.000 | % |
In addition, prior to July 15, 2017, the Company shall be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem Notes (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Securities, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings (provided that if the Equity Offering is an offering by Holdings, a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the amount required to redeem any such Notes is contributed to the equity capital of the Company); provided, however, that: (1)
4
at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Notes held, directly or indirectly by the Company or its Affiliates); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days after the date of the related Equity Offering.
Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Companys discretion, be subject to the completion of the related Equity Offering.
Prior to July 15, 2017, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Notice of such redemption shall be sent to The Depository Trust Company (DTC), in the case of Global Notes, or mailed by first-class mail to each Holders registered address in the case of certificated notes (and, to the extent permitted by applicable procedures and regulations, electronically), not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date.
7. Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
8. Repurchase at Option of Holder.
If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holders Notes pursuant to the offer described in the Indenture (the Change of Control Offer ), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send in the case of Global Notes, through the facilities of DTC, and in the case of certificated notes, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the Change of Control Payment Date ). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, under certain circumstances, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders (a Net Proceeds Offer ) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture. The Net Proceeds Offer may also be made to holders of other Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company requiring the making of such an offer. Pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall offer to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and, if it so elects, such other Senior Subordinated Debt that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior
5
Subordinated Debt was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture (or, in respect of such other Senior Subordinated Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Subordinated Debt). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes or such other Senior Subordinated Debt tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or such other Senior Subordinated Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased in accordance with the depositorys procedures (based on amounts tendered). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive a Net Proceeds Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Notes.
9. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be sent to DTC in case of Global Notes and in the case of certificated notes mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 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. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 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 Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer 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 Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on such day or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding 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. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 of the Indenture or the Appendix
6
to the Indenture relating to the form of the Notes (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder, to provide for the assumption of the Companys, Holdings or any Guarantors obligations to Holders by a successor to the Company, Holdings or a Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to provide for the issuance of Notes issued after the Issue Date in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision in the Description of Notes or to the extent that such provision in the Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes.
13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) the failure to pay interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable if the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 of the Indenture); (ii) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to purchase) (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 of the Indenture); (iii) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture if the default continues for a period of 60 days (or 180 days in the case of the covenant described in Section 4.03 of the Indenture) after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement); (iv) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Securitization Entity), or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates to $50.0 million or more at any time; (v) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy affecting the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (vi) above with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the
7
Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Additional Interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
14. Guarantee. The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated basis by Holdings and each of the Guarantors.
15. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
16. No Recourse Against Others. A past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Holdings, the Company or any Guarantor (other than the Company, Holdings or any Guarantor), as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of Holdings, the Company or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
17. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
18. 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).
19. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 4, 2014, among the Company, Holdings, the Guarantors and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers of the Notes. Each Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, including the obligations of the Holders with respect to a registration and the indemnification of the Company and other named persons to the extent provided therein.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN 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.

Furthermore, in calculating Consolidated Fixed Charges for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: (i) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date; and (ii) notwithstanding clause (i) of this paragraph, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Interest Swap Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreements.

In addition, any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Company, to reflect operating expense reductions reasonably expected to result from any acquisition or merger.
Consolidated Fixed Charges means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of, without duplication: (i) Consolidated Interest Expense; plus (ii) the product of (x) the amount of all cash dividend payments on any series of Preferred Stock of such Person times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the then-current effective consolidated Federal, state and local income tax rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal (as estimated in good faith by the chief financial officer of the Company, which estimate shall be conclusive); plus (iii) the product of (x) the amount of all dividend payments on any series of Permitted Subsidiary Preferred Stock times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the then-current effective consolidated Federal, state and local income tax rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal (as estimated in good faith by the chief financial officer of the Company, which estimate shall be conclusive); provided that, with respect to any series of Preferred Stock that did not pay cash dividends during such period but that is eligible to pay dividends during any period prior to the maturity date of the Notes, cash dividends shall be deemed to have been paid with respect to such series of Preferred Stock during such period for purposes of this clause (iii).
Consolidated Interest Expense means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of, without duplication: (1) the aggregate of all cash and non-cash interest expense (net of interest income) with respect to all outstanding Indebtedness of such Person and its Restricted

Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Registrar or any Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.
In authenticating such Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:
(a) A copy of the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors in or pursuant to which the terms and form of the Notes were established, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, to have been duly adopted by the Board of Directors and to be in full force and effect as of the date of such certificate, and if the terms and form of such Notes are established by an Officers Certificate pursuant to general authorization of the Board of Directors, such Officers Certificate;

When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes, but the Company 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 taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 9.05 hereof).
(b) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

30
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Registrar or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(g) None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the Trustee (including any Paying Agent or Registrar) 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.
(h) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among depositary participants or beneficial owners of interest in any global security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes.
If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity or a security bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionally with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
31
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding, and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then, on and after that date, such Notes (or portions thereof) shall cease to be outstanding, and interest on them shall cease to accrue.
SECTION 2.09. Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes.
Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

The Trustee and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures and, if requested in writing, deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee in writing to deliver canceled Notes to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed, paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest.
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest at the applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall
32
fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee ( provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest) and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar identification numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN or such other similar identification numbers in notices of redemption or repurchase as a convenience to Holders; provided , however , that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or the omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or such other similar identification numbers.
SECTION 2.14. Issuance of Additional Notes.
The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price.

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that a payment or other action meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in clauses (1) through (14) above, or is permitted to be made pursuant to clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this covenant (including by virtue of qualifying as a Permitted Investment), the
46
Company will be permitted to classify such payment or other action on the date of its occurrence in any manner that complies with this covenant. Payments or other actions permitted by this covenant need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such payment or other action but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this covenant permitting such payment or other action (including pursuant to any section of the definition of Permitted Investments).
The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary as specified in the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiary. For purposes of making such determination, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in cash) in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of the designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of this Section 4.07. All of those outstanding Investments shall be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Investments at the time of such designation. Such designation shall only be permitted if the Restricted Payment would be permitted at the time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
SECTION 4.08. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.
The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to: (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on, or in respect of, its Capital Stock; (b) make loans or advances or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any Guarantor; or (c) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Guarantor, except, with respect to clauses (a), (b) and (c), for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (1) applicable law, rule, regulation or order; (2) this Indenture, the Notes, the 2018 Notes, the 2020 Notes, thte 2021 Notes, the 2022 Notes and the Guarantees; (3) non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company entered into in the ordinary course of business; (4) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired; (5) the Credit Facilities as entered into or existing on the Issue Date or any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that any restrictions imposed pursuant to any such amendment, modification; restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing are ordinary and customary with respect to syndicated bank loans (under the relevant circumstances); (6) agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue Date; (7) restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted under this Indenture imposed by the holder of such Lien; (8) restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell assets or Capital Stock permitted under this Indenture to any Person pending the closing of such sale; (9) any agreement or instrument governing Capital Stock of any Person that is acquired; (10) any Purchase Money Note or other Indebtedness or other contractual requirements of a Securitization Entity in connection with a
47
Qualified Securitization Transaction; provided that such restrictions apply only to such Securitization Entity; (11) other Indebtedness or Permitted Subsidiary Preferred Stock outstanding on the Issue Date or permitted to be issued or incurred under this Indenture; provided that any such restrictions are ordinary and customary with respect to the type of Indebtedness being incurred or Preferred Stock being issued (under the relevant circumstances); (12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; (13) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (4) and (6) through (12) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Companys Board of Directors (evidenced by a Board Resolution) whose judgment shall be conclusively binding, not materially more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; (14) customary provisions in joint venture, partnership, asset sale, sale leaseback and other similar agreements; and (15) customary provisions in leases and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business.
SECTION 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, incur) any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness); provided, however , that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), in each case if, on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company would have been greater than 2.0 to 1.0; provided, however , that the amount of Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that may be incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors shall not exceed $100 million at any one time outstanding.
SECTION 4.10. Asset Sales.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company); (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:
(a) any liabilities (as shown on the Companys or such Restricted Subsidiarys most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the Companys or such Restricted Subsidiarys balance or the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on the date of such balance
48
sheet, as determined by the Company) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets; (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received); and (c) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) after December 14, 2010 that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $150 million and 5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), shall, in each of (a), (b) and (c) above, be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this provision or for purposes of the second paragraph of this Section 4.10; and
(iii) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 545 days of receipt thereof either
(A) to prepay any Senior Debt or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a corresponding reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility (or effect a permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility regardless of the fact that no prepayment is required in order to do so (in which case no prepayment should be required)),
(B) to reinvest in Productive Assets ( provided that this requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, by the end of such 545-day period, has entered into a binding agreement under which it is contractually committed to reinvest in Productive Assets, and such investment is consummated within 120 days from the date on which such binding agreement is entered into, and, with respect to the amount of such investment, the reference to the 546th day after an Asset Sale in the second following sentence shall be deemed to be a reference to the 121st day after the date on which such binding agreement is entered into (but only if such 121st day occurs later than such 546th day)) or
(C) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B).
Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in Cash Equivalents. On the 546th day after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines by Board Resolution not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B) and (iii)(C) of the next preceding sentence
49
(each, a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date ), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B) and (iii)(C) of the next preceding sentence (each a Net Proceeds Offer Amount ) shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the Net Proceeds Offer ) on a date (the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date ) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders and holders of any other Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company requiring the making of such an offer, on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and such other Senior Subordinated Debt that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior Subordinated Debt was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (or, in respect of such other Senior Subordinated Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Subordinated Debt); provided , however , that if at any time any non-cash consideration (including any Designated Non-cash Consideration) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder, and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Net Proceeds Offer Amount is less than $40.0 million, the application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Net Proceeds Offer Amount to a Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until such time as such Net Proceeds Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts arising subsequent to the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date relating to such initial Net Proceeds Offer Amount from all Asset Sales by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries aggregates to at least $40.0 million, at which time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make a Net Proceeds Offer (the first date the aggregate of all such deferred Net Proceeds Offer Amounts is equal to $40.0 million or more shall be deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date).
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such paragraph to the extent that: (i) at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets, cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Marketable Securities; and (ii) such Asset Sale is for fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company); provided that any consideration consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Marketable Securities received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this paragraph shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
Notice of each Net Proceeds Offer will be sent to DTC, in the case of Global Notes, or mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders, in the case of certificated notes, within 30 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other Senior Subordinated Debt tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use any
50
remaining Net Proceeds Offer Amount for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of any such Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset at zero.
The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.
SECTION 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates.
(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to occur any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (an Affiliate Transaction) involving aggregate payment or consideration in excess of $20.0 million unless (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arms-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company; and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $30.0 million, a Board Resolution adopted by the majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and an officers certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above.
(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 4.11(a) hereof shall not apply to: (i) reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined in good faith by the Companys Board of Directors or senior management; (ii) transactions between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; (iii) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) or by any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date as determined in good faith by the Company; (iv) Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments permitted by this Indenture; (v) transactions effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Transaction; (vi) payments or loans to employees or consultants that are approved by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; (vii) sales of Qualified Capital Stock; (viii) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided , however , that the existence of, or the performance
51
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (viii) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement taken as a whole are not materially disadvantageous to the Holders; (ix) transactions permitted by, and complying with, the provisions of Article 5 hereof, (x) any issuance of securities or other payments, awards, grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company; and (xi) transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives an opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or accounting firm that such Affiliate Transaction is either fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or is on terms not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arms length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company.
SECTION 4.12. Liens.
The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Guarantor to, incur any Secured Debt that is not Senior Debt of such Person unless, contemporaneously therewith, such Person makes effective provision to secure the Notes or the relevant Guarantee, as applicable, equally and ratably with such Secured Debt for so long as such Secured Debt is secured by a Lien (the Initial Lien ). Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien securing the other Secured Debt and that holders of such other Secured Debt may exclusively control the disposition of property subject to the Initial Lien.
SECTION 4.13. Conduct of Business.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any businesses a majority of whose revenues are not derived from businesses that are the same or reasonably similar, ancillary or related to, or a reasonable extension, development or expansion of, the businesses in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged on the Issue Date (which shall include engineered components businesses not within the aerospace industry).
SECTION 4.14. Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the
52
business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.
SECTION 4.15. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.
(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holders Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the Change of Control Offer ) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send, in the case of Global Notes, through the facilities of DTC and, in the case of certificated notes, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent or mailed, other than as may be required by law (the Change of Control Payment Date ). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof 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 thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver (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 such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
Prior to the mailing of the notice referred to in Section 4.15(a) above, but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall: (i) repay in full all Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and all other Senior Debt the terms of which require repayment upon a Change of Control; or (ii) obtain the requisite consents under the Credit Facilities and all such other Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided below. The Companys failure to comply with the covenant described in the immediately preceding sentence shall constitute an Event of Default described in clause (c) and not in clause (b) under Section 6.01 hereof.
(c) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the Company
53
complies with the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations, the Company shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 hereof and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof prior to the date on which notice of the Change of Control Offer must be sent.
A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control occurring, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Change of Control Offer.
SECTION 4.16. No Senior Subordinated Debt.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, incur or suffer to exist Indebtedness that is senior in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantors Guarantee, as the case may be, and subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, unsecured Indebtedness is not subordinated or junior to Secured Debt merely because it is unsecured.
SECTION 4.17. Additional Guarantees.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or acquire another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary unless such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary within 20 Business Days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, providing for a senior subordinated guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; provided , however , that such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary need not execute and deliver such a supplemental indenture for so long as such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary is an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; provided further, however , that the Company will cause a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that was an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary but has ceased to qualify as an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, providing for a senior subordinated guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary no later than 20 Business Days after the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company in which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary ceased to be an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; provided further, however , that, if at any time, Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors because they are Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries constitute in the aggregate more than 5% of Total Assets as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements are available or more than 5% of Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company for which financial statements are available, then the Company shall cause one or more such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to become Guarantors (notwithstanding that such Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries are, individually, Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries), no later than 20
54
Business Days after the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter in which such requirement was triggered, such that the foregoing condition ceases to be true.
SECTION 4.18. Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.
The Company shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, other than Permitted Subsidiary Preferred Stock. The provisions of this Section 4.18 will not apply to (w) any of the Guarantors, (x) any transaction as a result of which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will own any Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiary whose Preferred Stock is being issued or sold and (y) Preferred Stock that is Disqualified Capital Stock and is issued in compliance with Section 4.09 hereof.
SECTION 4.19. Suspension of Covenants.
(a) During any period of time following the Issue Date that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a Covenant Suspension Event ), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the following provisions of the Indenture:
(1) Section 4.07;
(2) Section 4.08;
(3) Section 4.09;
(4) Section 4.10;
(5) Section 4.11;
(6) Section 4.13;
(7) Section 4.16;
(8) Section 4.17;
(9) Section 4.18; and
(10) clause (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 5.01
(collectively, the Suspended Covenants ). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds with respect to any applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date shall be set at zero at such date (the Suspension Date ). In addition, in the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and, on any subsequent date (the Reversion
55
Date ), one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the Suspension Period . Within 30 days of the Reversion Date, any Restricted Subsidiary that would have been required during the Suspension Period but for the Suspended Covenants by Section 4.17 to execute a supplemental indenture shall execute such supplemental indenture required by such covenant. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).
(b) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09 to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date. To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (b) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness. Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been made pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.07.
(c) If (i) a Change of Control occurs that results in either (a) the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person or Group (as defined in the definition of Change of Control) other than an Affiliate (other than a Person that becomes an Affiliate solely as a result of such transaction) of the Company or (b) any Person or Group other than an Affiliate (other than a Person that becomes an Affiliate solely as a result of such transaction) of the Company becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of shares representing 100% of the total ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Company or Holdings and (ii) such Person or Group acquiring control pursuant to clause (i) above is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, then the Company shall not be subject to Section 4.03(a) from that time if and for so long as such Person or Group maintains Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies.
(d) The Company shall give the Trustee prompt (and in any event not later than five Business Days after a Covenant Suspension Event) written notice of any Covenant Suspension Event. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Company shall give the Trustee prompt (and in any event not later than five Business Days after a Covenant Suspension Event) written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.

ARTICLE VI
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 6.01. Events of Default.
Event of Defaults are:
(a) the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable if the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 hereof);
(b) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to purchase) (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 hereof);
(c) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained herein if the default continues for a period of 60 days (or 180 days in the case of the covenant described under Section 4.03 hereof) after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01 hereof, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);
(d) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Securitization Entity), or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more at any time;
(e) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable;
60
(f) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to, or within the meaning of, Bankruptcy Law:
(i) commences a voluntary case,
(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,
(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or
(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
(g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;
(ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or
(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;
(iv) and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.
SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.
If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a notice of acceleration (the Acceleration Notice ), and the same (i) shall become immediately due and payable or (ii) if there are any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities, shall become immediately due and payable upon the first to occur of an acceleration under the Credit Facilities or five Business Days after receipt by the Company and the Representative under the Credit Facilities of such Acceleration Notice but only if such Event of Default is then continuing. If an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes
61
may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) ( provided , however , that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then-outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes 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. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.
62
SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.
A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:
(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
SECTION 6.07. 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, premium and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal amount of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be
63
entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
SECTION 6.10. Priorities.
Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article, and any other money or property distributable in respect of the Companys obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default, shall be applied in the following order:
First : to the Trustee (including a predecessor Trustee), its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee (including a predecessor Trustee) and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second : to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal amount, premium and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal amount, premium and interest, respectively; and
Third : to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.
SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply
64
to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes.

The Trustee shall notify the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Offer has received notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and are subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Companys obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
Upon the Companys exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, Legal Defeasance ). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of, and at the expense of, the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Companys obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Companys obligations in connection therewith, and (d) the provisions of this Article 8 with respect to Legal Defeasance.

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document, and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Companys exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(d) and 6.01(e) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of

73
SECTION 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the Trustee ) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company 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 amount, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company shall 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.
Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company 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 firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
SECTION 8.06. Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when (i) either (a) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have (i) become due and payable, pursuant to an optional redemption notice or otherwise or (ii) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (ii) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Company; and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

SECTION 8.07. Repayment to Company.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as a secured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided , however , that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company, cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
SECTION 8.08. Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Companys obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided , however , that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
SECTION 8.09. Survival.
The Trustees rights under this Article 8 shall survive termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
ARTICLE IX
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.
Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes without the consent of any Holder:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
(b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to, or in place of, certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 or the Appendix hereof relating to the form of
75
the Notes (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder;
(c) to provide for the assumption of the Companys, Holdings or a Guarantors obligations to the Holders by a successor to the Company, Holdings or a Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 11 hereof,
(d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;
(e) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;
(f) to provide for the issuance of Notes issued after the Issue Date in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture;
(g) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes; provided , however , that any such supplemental indenture and/or Guarantee need only be executed by the Company, such Guarantor and the Trustee;
(h) to provide for the issuance of Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes; or
(i) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the Description of Notes to the extent that such provision in the Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes.
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company, Holdings and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture (including Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), the Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a
76
majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be outstanding for purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustees own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(b) reduce the principal of, or change or have the effect of changing, the fixed maturity of any Note, or change the date on which any Note may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;
(c) reduce the rate of, or change or have the effect of changing, the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Note;
(d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
(e) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
77
(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;
(g) after the Companys obligation to purchase Notes arises thereunder, amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto after a Change of Control has occurred;
(h) modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the related definitions affecting the subordination or ranking of the Notes or the Guarantees in a manner which adversely affects the Holders; or
(i) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.
An amendment under this Section may not make any change that adversely affects the rights under Article 10 or 12 hereof or any supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Guarantee of the Notes by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or any holder of Senior Debt of the Company, Holdings or of a Guarantor then outstanding (including any such change of this paragraph of this Section 9.02) unless the holders of such Senior Debt (or their Representative) consent to such change.
SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.
SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
SECTION 9.05. Notation on, or Exchange of, Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company, in exchange for all Notes, may issue, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate, new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
78
SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be given and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.
ARTICLE X
SUBORDINATION
SECTION 10.01. Agreement to Subordinate.
The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment of all Senior Debt of the Company and that the subordination is for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the holders of such Senior Debt. The Notes shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company, and only Indebtedness of the Company which is Senior Debt of the Company shall rank senior to the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 10 shall be subject to Section 10.12.
SECTION 10.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property:
(1) holders of Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment; and
(2) until the Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article 10 shall be made to holders of such Senior Debt as their interests may appear, except that Holders may receive shares of stock and any debt securities that are subordinated to such Senior Debt to at least the same extent as the Notes.
SECTION 10.03. Default on Senior Debt of the Company.
The Company shall not pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or make any deposit pursuant to Section 8.04 and may not purchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Notes (collectively, pay the Notes ) if either of the following (a Payment Default )
79
occurs: (1) any Designated Senior Debt of the Company is not paid in full in cash when due; or (2) any other default on Designated Senior Debt of the Company occurs, and the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash; provided , however , that the Company shall be entitled to pay the Notes without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of any Designated Senior Debt with respect to which the Payment Default has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of any default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt of the Company pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company shall not pay the Notes for a period (a Payment Blockage Period ) commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee of (with a copy to the Company) written notice (a Blockage Notice ) of such default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter. The Payment Blockage Period shall end earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (1) by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice; (2) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or (3) because such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or repaid in full in cash. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding two sentences (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt, the Company shall be entitled to resume payments on the Notes after termination of such Payment Blockage Period. The Notes shall not be subject to more than one Payment Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Debt of the Company during such period; provided , however , that if any Blockage Notice within such 360-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated Senior Debt of the Company (other than the Bank Indebtedness), the Representative of the Bank Indebtedness shall be entitled to give another Blockage Notice within such period; provided further , however , that in no event shall the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360-day consecutive period, and there must be 181 days during any 360-day consecutive period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. For purposes of this Section, no default or event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt of the Company initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.
SECTION 10.04. Acceleration of Payment of Notes.
If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Debt of the Company (or their Representatives) of the acceleration.
80
SECTION 10.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.
If a distribution is made to Holders that, because of this Article 10, should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt of the Company and pay it over to them as their interests may appear. If any Designated Senior Debt of the Company is outstanding, the Company shall not pay the Notes until five Business Days after the Representatives of all the issues of Designated Senior Debt of the Company receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, shall be entitled to pay the Notes only if this Article 10 otherwise permits payment at that time.
SECTION 10.06. Subrogation.
After all Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full, and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to such Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of such Senior Debt which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on such Senior Debt.
SECTION 10.07. Relative Rights.
This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt of the Company. Nothing in this Indenture shall:
(1) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; or
(2) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of the Company to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders.
SECTION 10.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.
No right of any holder of Senior Debt of the Company to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.
SECTION 10.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 10, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that under this Article 10 would prohibit the making of any payments to or by the Trustee unless and until, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice satisfactory to it that such payments are prohibited by this Article 10. The Company, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled to give the notice; provided , however , that, if an issue of Senior Debt of the Company has a Representative, only the Representative shall be entitled to give the notice. Prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects
81
conclusively to presume that no such fact exists. Unless the Trustee shall have received the notice provided for in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such payment and to apply the same to the purpose for which it was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date. The foregoing shall not apply to any Affiliate of the Company acting as Paying Agent.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to hold Senior Debt of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 10 with respect to any Senior Debt of the Company which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 10 to the contrary, all amounts owed to the Trustee (including amounts owed pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof) in each of its capacities hereunder shall not be subordinated to any Senior Debt of the Company or otherwise.

SECTION 10.12. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust under Article 8 hereof by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Debt of the Company or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 10 if the provisions of this Article 10 were not violated at the time funds were deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to Article 8 hereof, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Debt of the Company or any other creditor of the Company.
SECTION 10.13. Trustee Entitled to Rely.
Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee, subject to Section 7.01, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (1) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.02 hereof are pending, (2) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (3) upon the Representatives of Senior Debt of the Company for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons
82
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of the Company to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 10, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 10.
SECTION 10.14. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
Each Holder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to execute such documentation and to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Debt of the Company as provided in this Article 10 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 10.15. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt of the Company.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10 or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
SECTION 10.16. Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt of the Company on Subordination Provisions.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt of the Company, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt, and such holder of such Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.
83
ARTICLE XI
Guarantees
SECTION 11.01. Guarantees.
Holdings and each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of, and interest on, the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the Guaranteed Obligations ). Holdings and each Guarantor further agree that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from Holdings or such Guarantor and that Holdings and such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.
Holdings and each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Holdings and each Guarantor waive notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Holdings and each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Obligations; or (f) except as set forth in Section 11.07, any change in the ownership of Holdings or such Guarantor.
Holdings and each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Each Guarantee is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article 12 hereof, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and each Guarantee is made subject to such provisions of this Indenture.
Except as expressly set forth in Sections 11.02 and 11.07 hereof, the obligations of Holdings and each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
84
unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Holdings and each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner, or to any extent, vary the risk of such Holdings or such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of Holdings or such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
Holdings and each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against Holdings or any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, Holdings and each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (1) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (3) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.
Holdings and each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and all obligations to which the Guaranteed Obligations are subordinated as provided in Article 12. Holdings and each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of Holdings or such Guarantors Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Holdings or such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.
Holdings and each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section.
SECTION 11.02. Limitation on Liability.
Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not
85
exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
SECTION 11.03. Successors and Assigns.
This Article 11 shall be binding upon Holdings and each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders, and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to, and be vested in, such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.
SECTION 11.04. No Waiver.
Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 11 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 11 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 11.05. Modification.
No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 11, nor the consent to any departure by Holdings or any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to, or demand on, Holdings or any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 11.06. [Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 11.07. Release of Guarantor.
Upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder of Senior Debt of the Company or of any Guarantor) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor (in each case, other than a sale or disposition to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company), or upon designation of a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article 11 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. If the Guarantor becomes an Immaterial Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or ceases to be a Subsidiary or if the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 hereof, or if its obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Section 8.06 hereof, Holdings and each Guarantor shall be released from all obligations under this Article 11 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. At the request of the Company, the Trustee
86
shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing the release of a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 11.07.
SECTION 11.08. Contribution.
Holdings and each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled, upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations, to contribution from Holdings and each Guarantor, as applicable, in an amount equal to Holdings or such Guarantors pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP (for purposes hereof, Holdings net assets shall be those of all its Consolidated Subsidiaries other than the Guarantors).
ARTICLE XII
SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTEES
SECTION 12.01. Agreement to Subordinate.
Holdings and each Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by Holdings or such Guarantors Guarantee (as the case may be) is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 12, to the prior payment of all Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as applicable) and that the subordination is for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the holders of such Senior Debt. The Guaranteed Obligations of Holdings or a Guarantor (as applicable) shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior Subordinated Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor, and only Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (including Holdings or such Guarantors Guarantee of Senior Debt of the Company) shall rank senior to the Guaranteed Obligations of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
SECTION 12.02. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.
Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of Holdings or any Guarantor to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) or its property:
(1) holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to the Guarantee of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be); and
(2) until the Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article 12 shall be made to holders of such Senior Debt as their interests may appear, except that Holders may receive shares of stock and any debt securities of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) that are subordinated to such Senior Debt to at least the same extent as its Guarantee.
87
SECTION 12.03. Default on Senior Debt of Guarantor.
Neither Holdings nor any Guarantor shall make any payment on its Guarantee or purchase, redeem or otherwise retire or defease any Notes or other Guaranteed Obligations (collectively, pay its Guarantee ) if either of the following (a Payment Default ) occurs (1) any Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) is not paid in full in cash when due; or (2) any other default on Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) occurs, and the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms; unless, in either case, the Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash; provided , however , that Holdings or any Guarantor shall be entitled to pay its Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of any Designated Senior Debt with respect to which the Payment Default has occurred and is continuing. During the continuance of any default (other than a Payment Default) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall not pay its Guarantee for a period (a Payment Blockage Period ) commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee of (with a copy to Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be)) written notice (a Blockage Notice ) of such default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter. The Payment Blockage Period shall end earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (1) by written notice to the Trustee and Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice; (2) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or (3) because such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or repaid in full in cash. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding two sentences (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Debt giving such Payment Notice or the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt shall have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt, Holdings or any Guarantor shall be entitled to resume payments pursuant to its Guarantee after termination of such Payment Blockage Period. Neither Holdings nor any Guarantor shall be subject to more than one Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) during such period; provided , however , that if any Blockage Notice within such 360-day period is given by, or on behalf, of any holders of Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) (other than the Bank Indebtedness), the Representative of the Bank Indebtedness shall be entitled to give another Blockage Notice within such period; provided further , however , that in no event shall the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360-day consecutive period, and there must be 181 days during any 360-day consecutive period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. For purposes of this Section, no default or event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of
88
such Designated Senior Debt, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.
SECTION 12.04. Demand for Payment.
If a demand for payment is made on Holdings or a Guarantor pursuant to Article 11 hereof, the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) (or their Representatives) of such demand.
SECTION 12.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.
If a distribution is made to Holders that, because of this Article 12, should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or the applicable Guarantor (as the case may be) and pay it over to them or their Representatives as their interests may appear. If any Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or a Guarantor is outstanding, Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall not make a payment on its Guarantee until five Business Days after the Representatives of all the issuers of Designated Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, shall be entitled to pay the Notes only if this Article 12 otherwise permits payment at that time.
SECTION 12.06. Subrogation.
After all Senior Debt of Holdings or a Guarantor is paid in full, and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be). A distribution made under this Article 12 to holders of such Senior Debt which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between Holdings or the relevant Guarantor and Holders, a payment by Holdings or such Guarantor on such Senior Debt.
SECTION 12.07. Relative Rights.
This Article 12 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or a Guarantor. Nothing in this Indenture shall:
(1) impair, as between Holdings or a Guarantor and Holders (as the case may be), the obligation of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be), which is absolute and unconditional, to pay its Guarantee to the extent set forth in Article 11; or
(2) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a default by Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) under its Guarantee, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders.
89
SECTION 12.08. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.
No right of any holder of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the Guarantee of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.
SECTION 12.09. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall continue to make payments on any Guarantee, and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments to or by the Trustee, unless and until, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice satisfactory to it that such payments are prohibited by this Article 12. The Company, Holdings or the relevant Guarantor, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) shall be entitled to give the notice; provided , however , that, if an issue of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor (as the case may be) has a Representative, only the Representative shall be entitled to give the notice. Prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects conclusively to presume that no such fact exists. Unless the Trustee shall have received the notice provided for in the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such payment and to apply the same to the purpose for which it was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such date. The foregoing shall not apply to any Affiliate of the Company acting as Paying Agent.
The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, shall be entitled to hold Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 12 to the contrary, all amounts owed to the Trustee (including amounts owed pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof) in each of its capacities hereunder shall not be subordinated to any Senior Debt of Holdings or a Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 12.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative.
Whenever any Person is to make a distribution or give a notice to holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor, such Person shall be entitled to make such distribution or give such notice to their Representative (if any).
SECTION 12.11. Article 12 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Demand Payment.
The failure to make a payment pursuant to a Guarantee by reason of any provision in this Article 12 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 12 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on Holdings or any Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee.
90
SECTION 12.12. Trustee Entitled to Rely.
Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (1) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (2) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (3) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior Debt and other indebtedness of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be), the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt of Holdings or such Guarantor (as the case may be) held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 12.
SECTION 12.13. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to execute such documentation and to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 12.14. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt of Guarantor.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of such Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
SECTION 12.15. Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt of Holdings or Guarantors on Subordination Provisions.
Each Holder, by accepting a Note, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each
91
holder of any Senior Debt of Holdings or any Guarantor, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt, and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company 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 securities legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

103
reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase,

A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositorys procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Note. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depository 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.

(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 Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
(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 the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Notes, such
104
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 or Regulation S, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

Each Definitive Note will also bear the following additional legend:
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.
(ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note (including any Transfer Restricted Note represented by a Global Note) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Note for a certificated Note that does not bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Note, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale or transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note).
(iii) After a transfer of any Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes pursuant to and during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, all requirements pertaining to legends on such Initial Note or such Private Exchange Note will cease to apply, the requirements requiring any such Initial Note or such Private Exchange Note issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will cease to apply, and a certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange Note or an Initial Note or Private Exchange Note in global form, in each case without restrictive transfer legends, will be available to the transferee of the Holder of such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes upon exchange of such transferring Holders certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange Note or appropriate directions to transfer such Holders interest in the Global Note, as applicable.
(iv) Upon the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Notes, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Notes that Initial Notes issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial Notes that do not exchange their Initial Notes, and Exchange Notes in certificated or global form, in each case without the restrictive securities legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto, will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Registered Exchange Offer.
(v) Upon the consummation of a Private Exchange with respect to the Initial Notes, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Notes that Initial Notes issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial Notes that do not exchange their Initial Notes, and Private Exchange Notes in global form with the global securities legend and the Restricted Notes Legend set forth in Exhibit A
106
hereto, will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Private Exchange.
(f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced, and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities Custodian) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such reduction.
(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 Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository 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 Depository) 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 Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).

The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

2.4 Certificated Notes.

6.500% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2024
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. Interest. TransDigm Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture, being herein called the Company ), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.500% per annum from June 4, 2014 until maturity; provided that, if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, additional interest (the Additional Interest ) of $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes will accrue on the Notes for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default (increasing by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00% per annum). The Company shall pay interest and Additional Interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 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 after July 15, 2014 and 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 January 15, 2015. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is equal to the interest rate on the Note then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 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 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 4, 2014 ( Indenture ) among the Company, Holdings, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the Trustee ). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such 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 obligations of the Company.
5. Subordination. The Notes are subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company, as defined in the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior Debt of the Company must be paid before the Notes may be paid. The Company agrees, and each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
6. Optional Redemption.
On and after the date hereof, the Company shall be entitled to redeem the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) at its option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on July 15 of the year set forth below:
Year |
Percentage | |||
2019 |
103.250 | % | ||
2020 |
101.625 | % | ||
2021 and thereafter |
100.000 | % |
In addition, prior to July 15, 2017, the Company shall be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem Notes (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Securities, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.500%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings (provided that if the Equity Offering is an offering by Holdings, a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the amount required to redeem any such Notes is contributed to the equity capital of the Company); provided, however, that: (1) at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if
6
any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Notes held, directly or indirectly by the Company or its Affiliates); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days after the date of the related Equity Offering.
Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Companys discretion, be subject to the completion of the related Equity Offering.
Prior to July 15, 2019, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Notice of such redemption shall be sent to The Depository Trust Company (DTC), in the case of Global Notes, or mailed by first-class mail to each Holders registered address in the case of certificated notes (and, to the extent permitted by applicable procedures and regulations, electronically), not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date.
7. Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
8. Repurchase at Option of Holder.
If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holders Notes pursuant to the offer described in the Indenture (the Change of Control Offer ), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send in the case of Global Notes, through the facilities of DTC, and in the case of certificated notes, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the Change of Control Payment Date ). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, under certain circumstances, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders (a Net Proceeds Offer ) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture. The Net Proceeds Offer may also be made to holders of other Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company requiring the making of such an offer. Pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall offer to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and, if it so elects, such other Senior Subordinated Debt that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior Subordinated Debt was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted
7
value thereof) plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture (or, in respect of such other Senior Subordinated Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Subordinated Debt). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes or such other Senior Subordinated Debt tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or such other Senior Subordinated Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased in accordance with the depositorys procedures (based on amounts tendered). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive a Net Proceeds Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Notes.
9. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be sent to DTC in case of Global Notes and in the case of certificated notes mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 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. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 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 Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer 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 Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on such day or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding 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. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 of the Indenture or the Appendix to the Indenture relating to the form of the Notes (including the related definitions) in a manner
8
that does not materially adversely affect any Holder, to provide for the assumption of the Companys, Holdings or any Guarantors obligations to Holders by a successor to the Company, Holdings or a Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to provide for the issuance of Notes issued after the Issue Date in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision in the Description of Notes or to the extent that such provision in the Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes.
13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) the failure to pay interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable if the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 of the Indenture); (ii) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to purchase) (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 of the Indenture); (iii) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture if the default continues for a period of 60 days (or 180 days in the case of the covenant described in Section 4.03 of the Indenture) after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement); (iv) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Securitization Entity), or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates to $50.0 million or more at any time; (v) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy affecting the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (vi) above with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
9
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Additional Interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
14. Guarantee. The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated basis by Holdings and each of the Guarantors.
15. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
16. No Recourse Against Others. A past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Holdings, the Company or any Guarantor (other than the Company, Holdings or any Guarantor), as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of Holdings, the Company or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
17. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
18. 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).
19. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 4, 2014 (the Registration Rights Agreement ), among the Company, Holdings, the Guarantors and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers of the Notes. Each Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, including the obligations of the Holders with respect to a registration and the indemnification of the Company and other named persons to the extent provided therein.

6.500% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2024
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. Interest. TransDigm Inc., a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture, being herein called the Company ), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.500% per annum from June 4, 2014 until maturity; provided that, if a Registration Default (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs, additional interest (the Additional Interest ) of $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes will accrue on the Notes for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default (increasing by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00% per annum). The Company shall pay interest and Additional Interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 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 after July 15, 2014 and 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 January 15, 2015. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is equal to the interest rate on the Note then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the January 1 or July 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 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 4, 2014 ( Indenture ) among the Company, Holdings, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the Trustee ). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such 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 obligations of the Company.
5. Subordination. The Notes are subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company, as defined in the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Senior Debt of the Company must be paid before the Notes may be paid. The Company agrees, and each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture and authorizes the Trustee to give it effect and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
6. Optional Redemption.
On and after the date hereof, the Company shall be entitled to redeem the Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if any) at its option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on July 15 of the year set forth below:
Year |
Percentage | |||
2019 |
103.250 | % | ||
2020 |
101.625 | % | ||
2021 and thereafter |
100.000 | % |
In addition, prior to July 15, 2017, the Company shall be entitled at its option on one or more occasions to redeem Notes (which includes Additional Securities, if any) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (which includes Additional Securities, if any) originally issued at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 106.500%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings (provided that if the Equity Offering is an offering by Holdings, a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof equal to the amount required to redeem any such Notes is contributed to the equity capital of the Company); provided, however, that: (1) at least 65% of such aggregate principal amount of Notes (which includes Additional Notes, if
4
any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (other than Notes held, directly or indirectly by the Company or its Affiliates); and (2) each such redemption occurs within 90 days after the date of the related Equity Offering.
Notice of any redemption upon any Equity Offering may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Companys discretion, be subject to the completion of the related Equity Offering.
Prior to July 15, 2019, the Company shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Notice of such redemption shall be sent to The Depository Trust Company (DTC), in the case of Global Notes, or mailed by first-class mail to each Holders registered address in the case of certificated notes (and, to the extent permitted by applicable procedures and regulations, electronically), not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date.
7. Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
8. Repurchase at Option of Holder.
If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holders Notes pursuant to the offer described in the Indenture (the Change of Control Offer ), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send in the case of Global Notes, through the facilities of DTC, and in the case of certificated notes, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the Change of Control Payment Date ). Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sales, under certain circumstances, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders (a Net Proceeds Offer ) pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture. The Net Proceeds Offer may also be made to holders of other Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company requiring the making of such an offer. Pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall offer to purchase, on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and, if it so elects, such other Senior Subordinated Debt that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount (or, in the event such other Senior Subordinated Debt was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted
5
value thereof) plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture (or, in respect of such other Senior Subordinated Debt, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Subordinated Debt). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes or such other Senior Subordinated Debt tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or such other Senior Subordinated Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased in accordance with the depositorys procedures (based on amounts tendered). Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive a Net Proceeds Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled Option of Holder to Elect Purchase on the reverse of the Notes.
9. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be sent to DTC in case of Global Notes and in the case of certificated notes mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. 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. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 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 Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer 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 Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on such day or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding 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. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2 of the Indenture or the Appendix to the Indenture relating to the form of the Notes (including the related definitions) in a manner
6
that does not materially adversely affect any Holder, to provide for the assumption of the Companys, Holdings or any Guarantors obligations to Holders by a successor to the Company, Holdings or a Guarantor pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to provide for the issuance of Notes issued after the Issue Date in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes to provide for the issuance of exchange notes or private exchange notes, to conform the text of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes to any provision in the Description of Notes or to the extent that such provision in the Description of Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes.
13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) the failure to pay interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable if the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 of the Indenture); (ii) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to purchase) (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 10 or Article 12 of the Indenture); (iii) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture if the default continues for a period of 60 days (or 180 days in the case of the covenant described in Section 4.03 of the Indenture) after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01 of the Indenture, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement); (iv) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Securitization Entity), or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated, aggregates to $50.0 million or more at any time; (v) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million shall have been rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy affecting the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (vi) above with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in
7
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Additional Interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.
14. Guarantee. The payment by the Company of the principal of, and premium and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes is fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated basis by Holdings and each of the Guarantors.
15. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.
16. No Recourse Against Others. A past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of Holdings, the Company or any Guarantor (other than the Company, Holdings or any Guarantor), as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of Holdings, the Company or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.
17. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
18. 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).
19. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 4, 2014, among the Company, Holdings, the Guarantors and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the initial purchasers of the Notes. Each Holder, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, including the obligations of the Holders with respect to a registration and the indemnification of the Company and other named persons to the extent provided therein.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN 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.

Dear Sirs:
TransDigm Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer ), proposes to issue and sell to MS and CS, as representatives of the initial purchasers (set forth on Schedule I hereto (the Initial Purchasers )), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement ), $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the Initial Securities ) to be unconditionally guaranteed (the Guarantees ) by TransDigm Group Incorporated ( TD Group ) and the subsidiaries of the Issuer listed on Schedule II hereto (such subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Company Guarantors ). TD Group and the Company Guarantors are collectively referred to herein as the Guarantors and the Issuer, TD Group and the Company Guarantors are collectively referred to herein as the Company . The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of the date hereof (as supplemented from time to time, the Indenture ), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee ). As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers, the Company agrees with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without limitation, the Initial Purchasers), the Exchange Securities (as defined below) and the Private Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively the Holders ), as follows:
1. Registered Exchange Offer . The Company shall, at its own cost, prepare and, not later than 180 days (or if the 180th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the date of original issue of the Initial Securities (the Issue Date ), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission ) a registration statement (the Exchange Offer Registration Statement ) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ), with respect to a proposed offer (the Registered Exchange Offer ) to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Initial Securities, an equal aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the Exchange Securities ) of the Issuer issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the Initial Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under the Securities Act. The Company shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 270 days (or if the 270th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter)
1
after the Issue Date, (ii) consummate such Registered Exchange Offer not later than 310 days (or if the 310th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue Date and (iii) keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the Exchange Offer Registration Period ).
If the Company effects the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company will be entitled to close the Registered Exchange Offer 30 days after the commencement thereof provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer.
As soon as practicable after the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof) electing to exchange the Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holders business and has no arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United States.
The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commissions staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange Securities (an Exchanging Dealer ), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the Exchange Offer Procedures section and the Purpose of the Exchange Offer section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the Plan of Distribution section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) if the Initial Purchasers elect to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Initial Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Initial Purchasers will be required to deliver a prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or the Initial Purchasers, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 180 days (or such shorter period during which broker-dealers are required by law to deliver such prospectus) after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer.
If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the Private Exchange ) for the Initial Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, an equal principal amount of debt securities of the Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states of the United
2
States, but excluding provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) to the Initial Securities (the Private Exchange Securities ). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the Securities .
In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall:
(a) mail, or cause to be mailed, to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;
(b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders;
(c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee;
(d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and
(e) otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall:
(x) accept for exchange all the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange;
(y) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and
(z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.
The Indenture provides that the Exchange Securities are not subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the Securities vote and consent together on all matters as one class.
Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Initial Securities, from the Issue Date.
Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an affiliate, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.
3
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
2. Shelf Registration . If, (i) because of any applicable interpretations by the staff of the Commission, the Company is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within 310 days of the Issue Date (iii) an Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange and any such Holder so requests, the Company shall take the following actions:
(a) The Company shall, at its cost, as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 60 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 2) file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) a registration statement (the Shelf Registration Statement and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a Registration Statement ) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the Shelf Registration ), it being agreed that in the case the Company is filing a Shelf Registration Statement due to (x) the occurrence of the events specified in clause (i) of this Section 2, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective on or prior to the 270th day after the Issue Date or (y) the occurrence of the events specified in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective on or prior to the 60th day after the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed; provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder.
(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof) and can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitation under clauses (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144. The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law.
4
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
(d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of any Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules, if any, included therein, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (other than those, if any, incorporated by reference).

(h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states of the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified as of the date hereof or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise subject as of the date hereof.
(i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j). During the period during which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will prior to the three-year expiration of that Shelf Registration Statement file, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) within a period that avoids any interruption in the ability of Holders of Securities covered by the expiring Shelf Registration Statement to make registered dispositions, a new registration statement relating to the Securities, which shall be deemed the Shelf Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement.

7
is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Companys first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period.
(m) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner, as required by the rules and regulations of the Commission and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.
(n) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.
(o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any Holder shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.
(p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Companys officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof.
(q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good standing of the Company; the qualification of the Company to transact business as foreign corporations; the due authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the applicable Securities; the absence of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company; the absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the offering and sale of the applicable Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the compliance in all material respects, as to form of such Shelf Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by reference therein and of the Indenture with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and (A) as of the date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the absence, to the knowledge of such counsel, from such Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented, and from any documents incorporated by reference therein and (B) as of an applicable time identified by such Holders or managing underwriters, the
8
absence, to the knowledge of such counsel, from such prospectus taken together with any other documents identified by such Holders or managing underwriters, in the case of (A) and (B), of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act); (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof reasonably requested by any underwriters of the applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for which financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72.

(s) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or cause to be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.
(t) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or by the managing underwriters, if any.
(u) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or assist in the distribution (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the Rules ) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ( FINRA )) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 5121, shall so require, engaging a qualified independent underwriter (as defined in Rule 5121) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules.

5. Indemnification . (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as the Indemnified Parties and individually as an Indemnified Party ) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus, as defined in Commission Rule 433 ( Issuer FWP ), relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered (including through satisfaction of the conditions of Commission Rule 172) by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not conveyed to such person, at or prior to the time of the sale of such Securities to such person, an amended or supplemented prospectus or, if permitted by Section 3(d), an Issuer FWP correcting such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders if requested by such Holders.
(b) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions
10
in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (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; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the exchange of the Securities, pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing 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) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
11
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 Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other Indemnified Party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have 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. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such Indemnified Party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Indemnified Party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
(e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances . (a) Additional interest (the Additional Interest ) with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (v) below a Registration Default ):
(i) on or prior to the 180th day after the date hereof, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission;
(ii) the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of Section 2(a) above, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission on or prior to the 60th day after the date on which the obligation to file such Shelf Registration Statement arises, determined in accordance with the terms of Section 2(a) above;
(iii) on or prior to the 270th day after the date hereof, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor, if required in lieu thereof, the Shelf Registration Statement, is declared effective by the Commission;
(iv) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated on or before the 40th day after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective or, if obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of Section 2 above (other than with respect to clause (i) thereunder), the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 60th day after the date of the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement; or
(v) after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared (or becomes automatically) effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective; or (B) such Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b) immediately below) in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of

(b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(v)(B) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material events with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such material events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured.

As Representatives of the Initial Purchasers,
c/o Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC
1585 Broadway
New York, NY 10036
Dear Sirs:
TransDigm Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer ), proposes to issue and sell to MS and CS, as representatives of the initial purchasers (set forth on Schedule I hereto (the Initial Purchasers )), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement ), $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.500% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the Initial Securities ) to be unconditionally guaranteed (the Guarantees ) by TransDigm Group Incorporated ( TD Group ) and the subsidiaries of the Issuer listed on Schedule II hereto (such subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Company Guarantors ). TD Group and the Company Guarantors are collectively referred to herein as the Guarantors and the Issuer, TD Group and the Company Guarantors are collectively referred to herein as the Company . The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of the date hereof (as supplemented from time to time, the Indenture ), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee ). As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers, the Company agrees with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without limitation, the Initial Purchasers), the Exchange Securities (as defined below) and the Private Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively the Holders ), as follows:
1. Registered Exchange Offer . The Company shall, at its own cost, prepare and, not later than 180 days (or if the 180th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the date of original issue of the Initial Securities (the Issue Date ), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission ) a registration statement (the Exchange Offer Registration Statement ) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ), with respect to a proposed offer (the Registered Exchange Offer ) to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Initial Securities, an equal aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the Exchange Securities ) of the Issuer issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the Initial Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under the Securities Act. The Company shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 270 days (or if the 270th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter)
1
after the Issue Date, (ii) consummate such Registered Exchange Offer not later than 310 days (or if the 310th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue Date and (iii) keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the Exchange Offer Registration Period ).
If the Company effects the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company will be entitled to close the Registered Exchange Offer 30 days after the commencement thereof provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer.
As soon as practicable after the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof) electing to exchange the Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holders business and has no arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United States.
The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commissions staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange Securities (an Exchanging Dealer ), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the Exchange Offer Procedures section and the Purpose of the Exchange Offer section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the Plan of Distribution section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) if the Initial Purchasers elect to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Initial Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Initial Purchasers will be required to deliver a prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or the Initial Purchasers, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 180 days (or such shorter period during which broker-dealers are required by law to deliver such prospectus) after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer.
If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the Private Exchange ) for the Initial Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, an equal principal amount of debt securities of the Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states of the United
2
States, but excluding provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) to the Initial Securities (the Private Exchange Securities ). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the Securities .
In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall:
(a) mail, or cause to be mailed, to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;
(b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders;
(c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee;
(d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and
(e) otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall:
(x) accept for exchange all the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange;
(y) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and
(z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.
The Indenture provides that the Exchange Securities are not subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the Securities vote and consent together on all matters as one class.
Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Initial Securities, from the Issue Date.
Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an affiliate, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.
3
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
2. Shelf Registration . If, (i) because of any applicable interpretations by the staff of the Commission, the Company is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within 310 days of the Issue Date (iii) an Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange and any such Holder so requests, the Company shall take the following actions:
(a) The Company shall, at its cost, as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 60 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 2) file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) a registration statement (the Shelf Registration Statement and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a Registration Statement ) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6(d) hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the Shelf Registration ), it being agreed that in the case the Company is filing a Shelf Registration Statement due to (x) the occurrence of the events specified in clause (i) of this Section 2, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective on or prior to the 270th day after the Issue Date or (y) the occurrence of the events specified in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective on or prior to the 60th day after the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed; provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder.
(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof) and can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitation under clauses (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144. The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law.
4
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
(d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of any Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules, if any, included therein, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (other than those, if any, incorporated by reference).

(h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states of the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified as of the date hereof or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise subject as of the date hereof.
(i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j). During the period during which the Company is required to maintain an effective Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will prior to the three-year expiration of that Shelf Registration Statement file, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) within a period that avoids any interruption in the ability of Holders of Securities covered by the expiring Shelf Registration Statement to make registered dispositions, a new registration statement relating to the Securities, which shall be deemed the Shelf Registration Statement for purposes of this Agreement.

7
is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Companys first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period.
(m) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner, as required by the rules and regulations of the Commission and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.
(n) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.
(o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any Holder shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.
(p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Companys officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof.
(q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good standing of the Company; the qualification of the Company to transact business as foreign corporations; the due authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the applicable Securities; the absence of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company; the absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the offering and sale of the applicable Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the compliance in all material respects, as to form of such Shelf Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by reference therein and of the Indenture with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and (A) as of the date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the absence, to the knowledge of such counsel, from such Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented, and from any documents incorporated by reference therein and (B) as of an applicable time identified by such Holders or managing underwriters, the
8
absence, to the knowledge of such counsel, from such prospectus taken together with any other documents identified by such Holders or managing underwriters, in the case of (A) and (B), of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act); (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof reasonably requested by any underwriters of the applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for which financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72.
(r) In the case of the Registered Exchange Offer, if requested by an Initial Purchaser or any known Participating Broker-Dealer, the Company shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver to the Initial Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer a signed opinion in the form set forth in Section 7(c) of the Purchase Agreement with such changes as are customary in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement and (ii) its independent public accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for which financial information is provided in the Registration Statement to deliver to such Initial Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer a comfort letter, in customary form, meeting the requirements as to the substance thereof as set forth in Section 7(a) of the Purchase Agreement, with appropriate date changes.
(s) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or cause to be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.
(t) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or by the managing underwriters, if any.
(u) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or assist in the distribution (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the Rules ) of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ( FINRA )) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 5121, shall so require, engaging a qualified independent underwriter (as defined in Rule 5121) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules.

5. Indemnification . (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as the Indemnified Parties and individually as an Indemnified Party ) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus, as defined in Commission Rule 433 ( Issuer FWP ), relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered (including through satisfaction of the conditions of Commission Rule 172) by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not conveyed to such person, at or prior to the time of the sale of such Securities to such person, an amended or supplemented prospectus or, if permitted by Section 3(d), an Issuer FWP correcting such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders if requested by such Holders.
(b) Each Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions
10
in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus or Issuer FWP relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (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; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other from the exchange of the Securities, pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing 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) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
11
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 Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other Indemnified Party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have 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. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such Indemnified Party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Indemnified Party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
(e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances . (a) Additional interest (the Additional Interest ) with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (v) below a Registration Default ):
(i) on or prior to the 180th day after the date hereof, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission;
(ii) the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of Section 2(a) above, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission on or prior to the 60th day after the date on which the obligation to file such Shelf Registration Statement arises, determined in accordance with the terms of Section 2(a) above;
(iii) on or prior to the 270th day after the date hereof, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor, if required in lieu thereof, the Shelf Registration Statement, is declared effective by the Commission;
(iv) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated on or before the 40th day after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective or, if obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of Section 2 above (other than with respect to clause (i) thereunder), the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 60th day after the date of the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement; or
(v) after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared (or becomes automatically) effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective; or (B) such Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b) immediately below) in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of
12

SECTION 1.07. Pro Forma Calculations. With respect to any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters during which any Permitted Acquisition or Asset Sale occurs (and for purposes of determining whether an acquisition is a Permitted Acquisition or whether the Borrower may take any actions requiring compliance with a specified ratio), the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Secured Net Debt Ratio shall be calculated with respect to such period on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition or Asset Sale (and any related repayment or incurrence of Indebtedness) (including, without duplication, (a) all pro forma adjustments permitted or required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (b) pro forma adjustments for cost savings and other operating efficiencies (net of continuing associated expenses) to the extent the actions underlying such cost savings and operating efficiencies have been or are reasonably expected to be implemented and such cost savings and operating efficiencies are factually supportable, are expected to have a continuing impact and have been realized or are reasonably expected to be realized within 12 months following such Permitted Acquisition or Asset Sale; provided that all such adjustments shall be set forth in a reasonably detailed certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower), using, for purposes of making such calculations, the historical financial statements of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries which shall
60
be reformulated as if such Permitted Acquisition or Asset Sale, and any other Permitted Acquisitions and Asset Sales that have been consummated during the period, had been consummated on the first day of such period.
SECTION 1.08. Exchange Rates . On each Calculation Date, the Agent shall (a) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date and (b) give notice thereof to the Borrower and to any Lender that shall have requested a copy of such notice (it being understood that a Lender shall not have the right to independently request a determination of the Exchange Rates), in each case, with respect to each applicable Alternative Currency. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on such Calculation Date and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Calculation Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 2.22(f) or any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and Alternative Currencies.

The Credits
SECTION 2.01. Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, (i) to make a Tranche D Term Loan, in Dollars, to the Borrower on the Second Restatement Date, in a principal amount not to exceed its Tranche D Term Loan Commitment, (ii) to make Dollar Revolving Loans to the Borrower, in Dollars, at any time and from time to time on or after the Second Restatement Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Revolving Credit Lenders Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lenders Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans to the Borrower, in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, at any time and from time to time on or after the Second Restatement Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that would not result in such Revolving Credit Lenders Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lenders Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(b) Each Lender having an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Revolving Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lenders Incremental Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lenders Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Incremental Revolving Loans.
61
(c) Each Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lenders failure to make Loans as required. Except for Swingline Loans and Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(e), the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) (A) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing, an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum (except with respect to any Incremental Revolving Credit Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement) or (B) in the case of a Term Loan Borrowing, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than (x) $5,000,000 in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or (y) $1,000,000, in the case of an ABR Borrowing (except, in each case, with respect to any Incremental Term Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement) or (ii) in the case of any Borrowing, equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be maintained in a lesser amount equal to the difference between the aggregate principal amount of all other Borrowings and the total amount of Loans at such time outstanding.
(b) Subject to Section 2.02(e), 2.13 and 2.19, (i) each Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith and (ii) each Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any increase in the Eurocurrency Rate or increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of such Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it otherwise determines would be disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 2.14 shall apply) and (iii) such branch or Affiliate of such Lender would not be included in clause (z) of the first proviso to the definition of the term Eligible Assignee set forth in Section 1.01.
(c) Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten different Interest Periods in effect for Eurocurrency Borrowings at any time outstanding.
62
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or applicable Term Loan Maturity Date, as the case may be.
(e) If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.23(e) within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Agent will promptly notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as applicable, to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan (in the case of a Dollar L/C Disbursement) or a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of a Multicurrency L/C Disbursement), as the case may be, of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure), and the Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.23(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (e); any such amounts received by the Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (x) for amounts denominated in Dollars, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate and (y) for amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency, for the first such day, a rate determined by the Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds in such Alternative Currency (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and for each day thereafter, the Foreign Base Rate applicable to such Alternative Currency.
SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowing. (a) In order to request a Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan or a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(e), as to which this Section 2.03 shall not apply), the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request either in writing by delivery of a Borrowing Request (by hand or facsimile) signed by the Borrower or by telephone (to be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile of written notice) not later than (x) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (A) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, three (3) Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or such later time as shall be acceptable to the Agent) and (B) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four
63
Business Days before a proposed Borrowing (or such later time as shall be acceptable to the Agent) and (y) 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of a proposed Borrowing (or such later time as shall be acceptable to the Agent), in the case of an ABR Borrowing. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:
(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;
(ii) the date of the Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Tranche B Term Borrowing, a Tranche C Term Borrowing, a Tranche D Term Borrowing, an Incremental Term Borrowing, a Dollar Revolving Borrowing, a Multicurrency Revolving Borrowing or an Incremental Revolving Credit Borrowing, and whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;
(iv) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term Interest Period;
(v) in the case of a Multicurrency Revolving Borrowing, the currency in which such Borrowing is to be denominated; and
(vi) the location and number of the Borrowers account to which funds are to be disbursed;
provided , however , that notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02 and Section 2.04.
(b) If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing, if denominated in Dollars, shall be an ABR Borrowing and if denominated in any other currency, shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one months duration. If no currency is specified then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars. Promptly following receipt of the Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lenders Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Except with respect to Swingline Loans and Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(e), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by (i) 12:00 (noon), New York City time, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars or (ii) 9:00 a.m., New York City time, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.
64
(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lenders share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the rate determined by the Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds for the applicable currency and the applicable Daily Rate (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, or the rate applicable to such Loan, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lenders Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Agent or the Borrower or any Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
SECTION 2.05. Type; Interest Elections. (a) Loans shall initially be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of any Borrowing (subject to the minimum amounts for Borrowings of the applicable Type specified in Section 2.02(c)) to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone (i) in the case of an election to convert to or continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, (x) three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion or continuation, in the case of any Borrowing denominated in Dollars or (y) four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed conversion or continuation, in the case of any Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency or (ii) in the case of an election to convert to or continue as an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed conversion or continuation (or such later time as shall be acceptable to the Agent). Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
65
(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term Interest Period.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one months duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lenders portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period (i) any such Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing and (ii) any such Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default of the type set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of Article VII (without giving effect to any grace period set forth therein) has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (x) (A) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (B) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) no Interest Period in excess of one month may be selected for any Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency.
SECTION 2.06. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Tranche D Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Tranche D Term Loans on the Second Restatement Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments (other than Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, which shall automatically terminate as provided in the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement) and the Swingline Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
66
(b) Upon at least three Business Days prior irrevocable written or fax notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by written notice) to the Agent, the Borrower may, without premium or penalty, at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class; provided , however , that (i) each partial reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (ii) the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure at the time, (iii) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure at the time, and (iv) the Borrower may condition a notice of termination of all of the Commitments upon the effectiveness of a replacement financing (or other transaction).
(c) Each reduction in the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Class hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, on the date of termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class, all accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees relating to such Class to but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.
SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a
67
promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

To the extent not previously paid, all Incremental Term Loans shall be due and payable on the applicable Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date and all Incremental Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on the applicable Incremental Revolving Credit Maturity Date, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

70
(d) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be subject to Section 2.15, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
SECTION 2.09. Optional Prepayment of Loans. (a) Upon prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of any Class in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.15 and Section 2.09(d)); provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000, 100,000 or £100,000 and not less than $500,000, 500,000 or £500,000 (or, with respect to any other Alternative Currency, such minimum and multiple amounts as are reasonably specified by the Agent), as applicable.
(b) The Borrower shall notify the Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable (except that any such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of a new financing or other transaction) and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.12; provided , however , that in the case of a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan that is not made in connection with a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on the next scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to such ABR Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan.
(c) Optional prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal in respect of the Class of Term Loans scheduled to be paid as directed by the Borrower.

71
as above) of such Term Loans being prepaid or converted, or (y) a Non-Consenting Lender must assign its Term Loans of such Class pursuant to Section 9.02(e) or otherwise as a result of its failure to consent to an amendment that is passed and reduces the effective interest rate or weighted average yield (taking into account any LIBOR floor) then in effect with respect to such Term Loans, then in each case the aggregate principal amount so prepaid, converted, assigned or repaid will be subject to a fee payable by the Borrower equal to 1% of the principal amount thereof.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.09, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower may repurchase outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:
(i) the Borrower may make one or more offers (each, an Offer ) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans (the Offer Loans ); provided that (A) the Borrower delivers to the Agent (for distribution to such Lenders) a notice of the aggregate principal amount of the Offer Loans that will be subject to such Offer no later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent) in advance of the proposed consummation date of such Offer indicating (1) the last date on which such Offer may be accepted, (2) the maximum principal amount of the Offer Loans the Borrower is willing to repurchase in the Offer, (3) the Class of such Offer Loans, (4) the range of discounts to par at which the Borrower is willing to repurchase the Offer Loans and (5) the instructions, consistent with this Section 2.09(e) with respect to the Offer, that a Term Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Loans repurchased; (B) the maximum dollar amount of each Offer shall be no less than $10,000,000 or whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (C) the Borrower shall hold such Offer open for a minimum period of three Business Days; (D) a Term Lender who elects to participate in the Offer may choose to tender all or part of such Term Lenders Offer Loans; (E) the proceeds of Revolving Loans may not be used to fund any repurchase under this Section 2.09(e); (F) the Offer shall be made to the Term Lenders holding the Offer Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective principal amount of the Offer Loans then due and owing to the applicable Term Lenders; and (G) the Offer shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Agent may reasonably establish; and
(ii) following a repurchase pursuant to this Section 2.09(e) by the Borrower, (A) the Offer Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and all the other Loan Documents and (B) the Borrower will promptly advise the Agent of the total amount of Offer Loans that were repurchased from each Lender who elected to participate in the Offer.
SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class, the Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings of such Class and (solely in the case of a termination of all Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments) all outstanding Swingline Loans, and replace all (or make other arrangements, including providing cash collateral or a supporting letter of credit, acceptable to the Issuing Bank
72
in its sole discretion, with respect thereto) outstanding Letters of Credit issued thereunder. If as a result of any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class, the Aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure or the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure, as applicable, would exceed the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, after giving effect thereto, then the Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings of such Class (or, if applicable, Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof)) and/or replace outstanding (or make such other arrangement with respect to) Letters of Credit issued thereunder in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(b) Upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 545 days (or such lesser number of days that may be applicable to the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale under any agreement governing Specified Secured Indebtedness) of receipt thereof either (i) to prepay Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(g) ( provided that, if at the time of such prepayment, any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds is also required to be used to prepay, or to make an offer to prepay, any Specified Secured Indebtedness, then the Borrower shall only be required to prepay the Term Loans under this Section 2.10(b) with such Net Cash Proceeds equally and ratably with such Specified Secured Indebtedness); or (ii) to reinvest in Productive Assets ( provided that this requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary by the end of such 545-day period has entered into a binding agreement under which it is contractually committed to reinvest in Productive Assets and such investment is consummated within 120 days from the date on which such binding agreement is entered into), or (iii) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii).
(c) If as a result of any fluctuation of Exchange Rates, on any Calculation Date, the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrower shall, within three Business Days following such Calculation Date, repay or prepay Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and/or replace outstanding (or make such other arrangement with respect to) Multicurrency Letters of Credit such that the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment.
(d) No later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2014, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a), the Borrower shall prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(g) in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended, minus Voluntary Prepayments made during such fiscal year; provided (x) that the amount of such prepayment shall be reduced to 25% of such Excess Cash Flow if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year shall be equal to or less than 5.00 to 1.00, but greater than 4.50 to 1.00, and (y) such prepayment shall not be required if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of such fiscal year shall be equal to or less than 4.50 to 1.00.
73
(e) In the event that any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any Loan Party or any subsidiary of a Loan Party (other than Permitted Indebtedness), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by such Loan Party or such subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(g).
(f) With respect to mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement made pursuant to this Section 2.10, each Term Lender may elect, by written notice to the Agent at the time and in the manner specified by the Agent, to decline all (but not less than all) of its pro rata share of such Term Loan prepayment, in which case the amounts so rejected may be retained by the Borrower.
(g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.10, (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three (3) days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.12. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.15, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
(h) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Term Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated ratably among the Tranche B Term Loans, the Tranche C Term Loans, the Tranche D Term Loans and the Other Term Loans, if any, and shall be applied against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans, the Tranche D Term Loans and the Other Term Loans as directed by the Borrower; provided that, if at the time of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10 there shall be Term Borrowings of different Types or Eurodollar Term Borrowings with different Interest Periods, and if some but not all Term Lenders shall have accepted such mandatory prepayment, then the aggregate amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be allocated ratably to each outstanding Term Borrowing of the accepting Term Lenders. If no Term Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.10(f), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15.
SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year and on each date on which any Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a Commitment Fee ) equal to the Applicable Rate per annum in effect from time to time on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender (other than the Swingline Commitment) during the preceding quarter (or other
74
period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated, as applicable). All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as provided herein. For purposes of calculating Commitment Fees only, no portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swingline Loans.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, the agency fees set forth in the Engagement Letter, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, or such agency fees as may otherwise be separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent payable in the amounts and at the times specified therein or as so otherwise agreed upon (the Agent Fees ).
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to each Dollar Revolving Credit and Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender through the Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an L/C Participation Fee ) calculated on such Lenders Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate Dollar L/C Exposure or Multicurrency L/C Exposure, respectively (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the date on which all Letters of Credit issued under the applicable Class have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders of the applicable Class shall have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings of the applicable Class comprised of Eurocurrency Loans pursuant to Section 2.12, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fronting fee at a rate to be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank (which shall equal 0.25% per annum when the Issuing Bank is Credit Suisse AG) on the aggregate outstanding face amount of such Letter of Credit, and the standard issuance and drawing fees specified from time to time by the Issuing Bank (the Issuing Bank Fees ). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error in the calculation of such fees.
SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Dollar Swingline Loan, shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) (i) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing, including each Alternative Currency Swingline Loans, shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
75
(ii) Each Foreign Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in the definition of the term Foreign Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Revolving Loans in effect from time to time.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default referred to in paragraphs (a), (b), (f) and (g) of Article VII, at the written request of the Required Lenders, any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, payable on demand, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.12(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Lender.
(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable to the applicable Lenders, through the Agent, in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment (except in the case of a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan that is not made in connection with a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments) and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and (ii) interest with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Pounds shall, in each case, be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Foreign Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:
(a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that deposits in the applicable currency in the principal amount of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the applicable interbank market;
(b) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
76
(c) the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, with respect to any Eurocurrency Multicurrency Revolving Borrowing, the Required Class Lenders) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the applicable currency pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.05 shall be deemed to be a request for a Daily Rate Borrowing in such currency.
SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);
(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the applicable interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii) subject any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or increase the cost to any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Agent for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lenders or Issuing Banks holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders or the Issuing Banks capital or on the capital of such Lenders or the Issuing Banks holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lenders or the Issuing Banks
77
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.16 (taking into consideration such Lenders or the Issuing Banks policies and the policies of such Lenders or the Issuing Banks holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lenders or the Issuing Banks holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lenders or the Issuing Banks right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lenders or the Issuing Banks intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.14 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) of the United States or foreign financial regulatory authorities, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall not include loss of profit or margin and shall be deemed to be the amount
78
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the basis therefor and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if an applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such tax is an Indemnified Tax or an Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Agent, Lender or the Issuing Bank (as applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. If at any time a Loan Party is required by applicable law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable hereunder, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the relevant Lender, Agent or the Issuing Bank upon becoming aware of the same. In addition, each Lender, Agent or the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify a Loan Party upon becoming aware of any circumstances as a result of which a Loan Party is or would be required to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable hereunder.
(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for, any Other Taxes.
(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender or the Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (other than those incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
79
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, (ii) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), and (iii) any Taxes attributable to such Lenders failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(f) (i) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender or Issuing Bank shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender or Issuing Bank becomes a party hereto, two duly signed, properly completed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) in the case of a Lender or Issuing Bank that is not a Foreign Lender, IRS Form W-9;
(B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the interest article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from U.S. Federal
80
withholding Tax pursuant to the business profits or other income article of such tax treaty;
(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender for whom payments under any Loan Document constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lenders conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;
(D) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (2) a certificate (a U.S. Tax Certificate ) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a 10 percent shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (c) a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;
(E) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Loan Document (including a partnership or a Participant) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D), (F) and (G) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided , however , that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners;
(F) if a payment made to a Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to any withholding Taxes as a result of such Lenders or Issuing Banks failure failure to comply with the requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender or Issuing Bank has or has not complied with such Lenders or Issuing Banks obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment, it being understood that, solely for purposes of this clause (F), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Second Restatement Date; or
81
(G) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.
(iii) Thereafter and from time to time, each Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the Borrower and the Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of forms or certificates described in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) or (G) above (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, and (B) promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
(g) If the Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in good faith in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Agent, such Lender, or the Issuing Bank in good faith in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to such Loan Party or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
82
(h) If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid under this Section 2.16, the relevant Lender, the Agent or the Issuing Bank shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in challenging such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, at the Borrowers expense, if reasonably requested by the Borrower in writing.
(i) For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term applicable law includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder and under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) (i) with respect to payments of amounts denominated in Dollars, prior to 12:00 (noon), New York City time, and (ii) with respect to payments of amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, in each case on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments (other than (i) Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank, and (ii) principal of and interest on Swingline Loans, which shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender except as otherwise provided in Section 2.22(f)) shall be made to the Agent to the applicable account designated to the Borrower by the Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it, except as otherwise provided, for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder in respect of any Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made in such Alternative Currency, and all payments hereunder in respect of any Loan denominated in Dollars shall be made in Dollars. Unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and each applicable Lender with respect to such payment, all other payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Agent to make such payment.
(b) [Intentionally Omitted.]
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or any of its L/C Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon and L/C Disbursements than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and L/C Disbursements of other Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
83
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and L/C Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to Holdings, the Borrower or any subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 2.09(e)). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(a), 2.17(c) or 9.03(c), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lenders obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
(f) Except as otherwise provided herein, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Commitment Fees or the L/C Participation Fees, each reduction of the Term Loan Commitments or the Revolving Credit Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements, as applicable). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lenders portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lenders percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.
SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is
84
required to indemnify or pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or issuing Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or the Issuing Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in any material respect. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) In the event (i) any Lender or the Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) the Borrower is required to indemnify or pay any additional amount to any Lender or the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.16 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or the Issuing Bank and the Agent, replace such Lender or the Issuing Bank by requiring such Lender or the Issuing Bank to assign and delegate (and such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement of the applicable Class to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Disbursements of the applicable Class, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or the Issuing Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.19. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender to Daily Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay
85
accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to it.
SECTION 2.20. [Intentionally Omitted.]
SECTION 2.21. [Intentionally Omitted.]
SECTION 2.22. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Swingline Lender agrees to make loans to the Borrower in Dollars and Alternative Currencies at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans exceeding $25,000,000 (or the Alternative Currency Equivalent thereof) in the aggregate or (ii) the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, exceeding the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000, in the case of a Dollar Swingline Loans, or in such minimum and multiple amounts as the Swingline Lender shall reasonably specify with respect to any Alternative Currency, in the case of an Alternative Currency Swingline Loan. The Swingline Commitment may be terminated or reduced from time to time as provided herein. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.
(b) The Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender by fax, or by telephone (confirmed by fax), not later than (i) 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the day of a proposed Dollar Swingline Loan or (ii) 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Alternative Currency Swingline Loan. Such notice shall be delivered on a Business Day, shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount and currency of such Swingline Loan, the Interest Period for any requested Alternative Currency Swingline Loan and the wire transfer instructions for the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Swingline Loan should be transferred. The Swingline Lender shall promptly make each Swingline Loan by wire transfer to the account specified by the Borrower in such request.
(c) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or fax notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by written notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date of prepayment at the Swingline Lenders address for notices specified in its Administrative Questionnaire. Any payment of a Alternative Currency Swingline Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor shall be subject to Section 2.15.
(d) Each Dollar Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c), shall bear interest at the rate provided for the ABR Revolving
86
Loans as provided in Section 2.12(a). Each Alternative Currency Swingline Loan shall be a Eurocurrency Loan and, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c), shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.12(b); provided that any Alternative Currency Swingline Loan that cannot be made or continued as a Eurocurrency Loan by virtue of Section 2.02(d) shall be a Foreign Base Rate Loan.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any reduction of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments made pursuant to Section 2.06 which reduces the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment to an amount less than the then current amount of the Swingline Commitment shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swingline Commitment such that the amount thereof equals the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, as so reduced, without any further action on the part of the Borrower, the Agent or the Swingline Lender.
(f) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding; provided that any such participations shall be allocated ratably to each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender according to the Pro Rata Percentages of each Revolving Credit Lender. In order to effectuate the foregoing, on the date of such notice, all outstanding Multicurrency Swingline Loans shall be converted to Dollar Swingline Loans at the Exchange Rate in effect on such date. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. The Agent will, promptly upon receipt of such notice, give notice to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Lenders Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lenders Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans in Dollars. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04(a) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.04(a) shall apply, mutatis mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders) and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made in Dollars to the Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent; any such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve
87
the Borrower (or other party liable for obligations of the Borrower) of any default in the payment thereof.
(g) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Revolving Credit Lender, designate one or more Revolving Credit Lenders to act as the swingline lender under the terms of this Agreement. Any Revolving Credit Lender designated as the swingline lender pursuant to this paragraph (g) shall be deemed to be the Swingline Lender (in addition to being a Revolving Credit Lender) in respect of Swingline Loans made or to be made by such Revolving Credit Lender.
SECTION 2.23. Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit for its own account or for the account of any Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the L/C Commitments remain in effect as set forth in Section 2.06(a). Any Dollar Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, and any Multicurrency Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency. This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon (i) the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) Credit Suisse AG or any of its Affiliates to issue documentary or trade Letters of Credit (as opposed to standby Letters of Credit). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, on the Second Restatement Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Dollar Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement as of the Second Restatement Date.
(b) In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax to the Issuing Bank and the Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Dollar Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly (i) notify the Agent in writing of the amount and expiry date of each Letter of Credit issued by it and (ii) provide a copy of each such Letter of Credit (and any amendments, renewals or extensions thereof) to the Agent. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (x) in the case of any Dollar Letter of Credit, (A) the Dollar L/C Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (B) the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) in the case of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit, (A) the Multicurrency L/C Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class of the issuance, amendment, renewal, expiration or termination of any Letter of Credit thereunder and,
88
upon request by any Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class, furnish to such Lender details of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lenders participation therein.
(c) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such later date as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its sole discretion) and the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.
(d) By the issuance of a Dollar Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Dollar Letter of Credit equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Dollar Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Dollar Letter of Credit. By the issuance of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Multicurrency Letter of Credit, payable in the applicable currency, equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Multicurrency Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender and each Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lenders Pro Rata Percentage of each Dollar L/C Disbursement or Multicurrency L/C Disbursement, as applicable, made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower (or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(e). The participations provided for in this Section 2.23(d) and the reimbursements provided for in Section 2.23(e) shall be allocated ratably to each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class according to the Pro Rata Percentages of each such Revolving Credit Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent (or directly to the Issuing Bank, with concurrent notice to the Agent) an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement on or prior to the Business Day following the day on which the Borrower shall have received notice from the Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made.
89
(f) The Borrowers obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;
(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;
(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank, the Agent or any Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;
(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(v) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and
(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers obligations hereunder.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Banks gross negligence or wilful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; it is understood that the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (i) the Issuing Banks exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document
90
presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuing Bank.
(g) The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall as promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement. The Agent shall promptly give each applicable Revolving Credit Lender notice thereof.
(h) If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrower and the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(e), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were a Daily Rate Revolving Loan.
(i) The Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice to the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Borrower by notice to the Issuing Bank, the Agent and the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 2.11(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term Issuing Bank shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
91
(j) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day it receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit) thereof and of the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date; provided , however , that the obligation to deposit such cash shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (f) or (g) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(k) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an Issuing Bank (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Bank and such Lender.
(l) The Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Agent may agree to such additional provisions with respect to Letters of Credit and such provisions shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Section 2.23 so long as such additional provisions are not adverse to any Revolving Credit Lender.
SECTION 2.24. Increase in Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments in amounts not to exceed the Incremental Amount from one or more Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, which may include any existing Lender (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion); provided that each Incremental Term Lender and Incremental Revolving Credit Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the
92
approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent) and (iii) (x) whether such Incremental Term Loan Commitments are to be Commitments to make Term Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Term Loans ( Other Term Loans ) and (y) whether such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are to be Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments, Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments or commitments to make revolving loans with terms different from the Revolving Loans made pursuant to both such Classes ( Other Revolving Loans ).
(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Term Loan Commitments and Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Term Lenders and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, in connection therewith. The Borrower and each Incremental Term Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Incremental Term Lender. The Borrower and each Incremental Revolving Credit Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment of such Incremental Revolving Credit Lender. Each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement shall specify the terms of the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, to be made thereunder; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to any Term Loans and the final maturity date of any Other Revolving Loans shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the average life to maturity of any Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the average life to maturity of any Class of Term Loans; and provided further that, if the initial yield on such Other Term Loans (as determined by the Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Other Term Loans (which shall be increased by the amount that any LIBOR floor applicable to such Other Term Loans on the date such Other Term Loans are made would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate (without giving effect to clause (a) in the definition thereof) that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) and (y) if such Other Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive an upfront fee (other than a customary arrangement or underwriting fee) directly or indirectly from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary (the amount of such discount or upfront fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Term Loans, being referred to herein as OID ), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (x) the average life to maturity of such Other Term Loans and (y) four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points the sum of (A) the margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Term Loans of any Class (other than the Tranche B Term Loans) (which, with respect to the Term Loans of any such Class, shall be the sum of the Applicable
93
Rate then in effect for such Eurocurrency Term Loans of such Class increased by the amount that any LIBOR floor applicable to such Eurocurrency Term Loans of such Class on the date such Other Term Loans are made would exceed the Adjusted LIBO Rate (without giving effect to clause (a) in the definition thereof) that would be in effect for a three-month Interest Period commencing on such date) plus (B) one-quarter of the amount of OID initially paid in respect of the Term Loans of such Class (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the Yield Differential ), then the Applicable Rate then in effect for each such affected Class of Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Term Loans and (b) the Applicable Rate with respect to any Other Revolving Loans shall be equal to the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Loans; provided that the Applicable Rate of the Revolving Loans may be increased to equal the Applicable Rate for such Other Revolving Loans to satisfy the requirements of this clause (b). If the Applicable Rate for the Tranche C Term Loans is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence as a result of the incurrence of Other Term Loans, then the Applicable Rate for the Tranche B Term Loans shall be increased at the same time and by the same number of basis points as applicable to the increase in the Applicable Rate for the Tranche C Term Loans. The other terms of the Incremental Term Loans or the Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, and the Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement or the Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, as applicable, to the extent not consistent with the terms applicable to the Term Loans and Revolving Loans hereunder, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and, to the extent that such Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, as applicable, contains any covenants, events of default, representations or warranties or other rights or provisions that place greater restrictions on Holdings, the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries or are more favorable to the Lenders making such Other Term Loans or Other Revolving Loans, as applicable, the existing Lenders shall be entitled to the benefit of such rights and provisions so long as such Other Term Loans or Other Revolving Loans, as applicable, remain outstanding and such additional rights and provisions shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis , as if fully set forth herein, without any further action required on the part of any Person effective as of the date of such Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, as applicable. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Incremental Revolving Credit Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, evidenced thereby as provided for in Section 9.02. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Agent with the Borrowers consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.24 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, provided that if the proceeds thereof are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, then (x) the condition set
94
forth in paragraph (c) of Section 4.01 shall be required to be satisfied as of the date on which the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into and (y) to the extent agreed by the applicable Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Credit Lenders, (A) the representations and warranties referred to in paragraph (b) of Section 4.01 may be limited to the Specified Representations and (B) the Defaults and Events of Default referred to in paragraph (c) of Section 4.01 may be limited to those under paragraphs (a), (b), (f) and (g) of Article VII, (ii) the Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates and documentation consistent with those delivered on the Second Restatement Date, (iii) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would be no greater than 7.25 to 1.00 and (iv) the Consolidated Secured Net Debt Ratio would be no greater than 4.25 to 1.00, in the case of each of clauses (iii) and (iv), after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans to be made thereunder and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date (and, if such proceeds are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, with such determinations under clauses (iii) and (iv) above solely being made on the date on which the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into).
(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Term Loans (other than Other Term Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis, and the Borrower agrees that Section 2.15 shall apply to any conversion of Eurocurrency Term Loans to ABR Term Loans reasonably required by the Agent to effect the foregoing. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term Loans are not Other Term Loans, the scheduled amortization percentages under Section 2.08(a) shall be deemed to apply to the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans on the date such Loans are made and, in connection therewith, Section 2.08(a) may be amended as necessary to modify the amount of such amortization payments (solely to the extent that such amendment does not decrease the amount of any such payment that any existing Term Lender would have received prior to giving effect to such amendment) in order to provide for the appropriate ratable distribution of such amortization payments among the existing Term Lenders of the applicable Class and the Incremental Term Lenders of such Incremental Term Loans of such Class.
SECTION 2.25. Loan Modification Offers. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a Loan Modification Offer ) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans and/or Commitments (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, an Affected Class ) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders of the Affected Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the Accepting Lenders ) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lenders Loans and/or Commitments of such Affected Class as to which such Lenders acceptance has been made.
95
(b) The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class (including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders of the Affected Class as a new Class of loans and/or commitments hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless the Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and customary officers certificates reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(c) Permitted Amendments shall be (i) an extension of the final maturity date and/or a reduction or elimination of the scheduled amortization applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) (A) an increase in the Applicable Rate and/or Commitment Fee with respect to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or (B) the payment of additional fees or other compensation to the Accepting Lenders, (iii) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new Class of loans and/or commitments resulting therefrom and (iv) additional amendments to the terms of this Agreement applicable to the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders that are less favorable to such Accepting Lenders than the terms of this Agreement prior to giving effect to such Permitted Amendments and that are reasonably acceptable to the Agent; provided that if any such Permitted Amendment shall create a new Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan as between the commitments of such new Class and the Commitments of the then existing Revolving Credit Lenders of the Affected Class shall be made on a ratable basis as between the commitments of such new Class and the Commitments of the then existing Revolving Credit Lenders of such Affected Class and (B) the L/C Commitment and Swingline Commitment may not be extended without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable.
SECTION 2.26. Refinancing Facilities . (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request the establishment hereunder of (i) a new Class of revolving commitments (the Refinancing Revolving Commitments ) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a Refinancing Revolving Lender ), which may include any existing Lender (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion), will make revolving loans to the Borrower ( Refinancing Revolving Loans ) and acquire participations in the Letters of Credit and the Swingline Loans and (ii) one or more additional Classes of term loan commitments (the Refinancing Term Loan Commitments ), pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a Refinancing Term Lender ) will make term loans to the Borrower (the Refinancing Term Loans ); provided that (A) each Refinancing Revolving Lender and each Refinancing Term Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee
96
and shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (B) each Refinancing Revolving Lender shall be subject to the approval of each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), in each case, to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under the definition of Eligible Assignee for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Refinancing Revolving Lender and such Refinancing Term Lender, as applicable.
(b) The Borrower and each Refinancing Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent a Refinancing Facility Agreement and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Refinancing Commitments of each Refinancing Lender. Such Refinancing Facility Agreement shall set forth, with respect to the Refinancing Commitments established thereby and the Refinancing Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder, to the extent applicable: (i) the designation of such Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new Class of loans and/or commitments hereunder, (ii) the stated termination and maturity dates applicable to the Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class; provided that such stated termination and maturity dates shall not be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date then in effect with respect to Revolving Credit Commitments (in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans) or the Latest Maturity Date then in effect with respect to any outstanding Term Loans (in the case of Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans), (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any amortization applicable thereto and the effect thereon of any prepayment of such Refinancing Term Loans, (iv) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Loans of such Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Loans of such Class, (vi) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any original issue discount applicable thereto, (vii) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to Refinancing Loans of such Class, (viii) any voluntary or mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment requirements applicable to Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class (which prepayment requirements, in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, may provide that such Refinancing Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis with the Term Loans, but may not provide for prepayment requirements that are more favorable to the Lenders holding such Refinancing Term Loans than to the Lenders holding Term Loans) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory reductions or prepayments of Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class and (ix) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, the Alternative Currencies, if any, available thereunder. Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the terms of the Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder shall be substantially the same as the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder, and the terms of the Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans shall be substantially the same as the terms of the Tranche C Term Loan Commitments and the Tranche C Term Loans. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Facility Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Facility Agreement (including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the as a new Class of loans and/or commitments hereunder).
97
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Refinancing Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.26 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 4.01 shall be satisfied and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates consistent with those delivered on the Second Restatement Date, (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, all the Revolving Credit Commitments of a Class then in effect shall be terminated, and all the Revolving Loans then outstanding thereunder, together with all interest thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders of such Class, shall be repaid or paid (it being understood, however, that, with the written consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank may continue to be outstanding hereunder), and the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments does not exceeded the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so terminated and (iv) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loan Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the Borrower shall obtain Refinancing Term Loans thereunder and shall repay or prepay then outstanding Term Borrowings of any Class in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Loan Commitments (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding Term Borrowings and any reasonable fees, premium and expenses relating to such refinancing) (and any such prepayment of Term Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.08 on a pro rata basis).
SECTION 2.27. [Intentionally Omitted] .
SECTION 2.28. Defaulting Lenders . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) the Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);
(b) the Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or Required Class Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided , that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender affected thereby if such amendment, waiver or modification would adversely affect such Defaulting Lender compared to other similarly affected Lenders; provided further that no amendment, waiver or modification that would require the consent of a Defaulting Lender under clause (A), (B) or (C) of the second proviso of Section 9.02(b) may be made without the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(c) if any Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
98
(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure or Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure, as applicable, plus such Defaulting Lenders Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure in respect of the applicable Class does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting Lender after giving effect to such reallocation does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender;
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of each applicable Issuing Bank only the Borrowers obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lenders L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lenders L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lenders L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lenders L/C Exposure is cash collateralized except to the extent of such fees that became due and payable by the Borrower prior to the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any cash collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.28(c) shall be released promptly following the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender);
(iv) if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section Section 2.11(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders Pro Rata Percentages; and
(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lenders L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 2.11(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lenders L/C Exposure shall be payable to each applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) if such Lender is a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit under the applicable Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lenders then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders of such Class and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with
99
Section 2.28(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among such non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.28(c) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
In the event that the Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other applicable Lenders (other than Swingline Loans), if any, as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage, and such Lender shall then cease to be a Defaulting Lender with respect to subsequent periods unless such Lender shall thereafter become a Defaulting Lender.

The Agent
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder.
The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except, subject to the last paragraph of this Article VIII, discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent
129
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that (i) during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, no consent of the Borrower shall be required and (ii) any successor that shall also be the named secured party under any Collateral Document shall also be subject to the approval requirements, if any, of such Collateral Document. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agents resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (so long as no Event of Default exists), a successor administrative agent and/or collateral agent, as the case may be. Any such resignation by such Agent hereunder shall also constitute, to the extent applicable, its resignation as an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, in which case such resigning Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Agents resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
130
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

In the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by such Secured Party. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions. The provisions of this paragraph are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.
The Joint Lead Arrangers and joint bookrunners shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

134
rate of interest, or to waive any obligations of the Borrower to pay interest at such default rate, (D) change Sections 2.09(c), 2.10(g), 2.17(c) or 2.17(f) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (F) release any material Guarantor from its obligation under its Guarantee (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (G) except as provided in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.

Upon the request of the Borrower, the Agent shall enter into such amendments (and may do so without the consent of any Lender, other agent, or the Issuing Bank) to the Collateral Documents (or enter into additional Collateral Documents or intercreditor agreements) to secure on a pari passu basis or junior basis, as the case may be, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Agent all obligations (including obligations comparable in scope to the Obligations) of all Specified Secured Indebtedness having the same lien priority as, or a junior lien priority to, the Obligations permitted to be incurred under Section 6.01 and secured by Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 6.06 on all or a portion of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the consent of Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Lenders, this Agreement (including Sections 2.09(c), 2.10(g), 2.17(c) and 2.17(f)) may be amended (x) to allow the Borrower to prepay Loans of a Class on a non-pro rata basis in connection with offers made to all the Lenders of such Class pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent and (y) to allow the Borrower to make loan modification offers to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of Loans that, if accepted, would (A) allow the maturity and scheduled amortization of the Loans of the accepting Lenders to be extended, (B) increase the Applicable Rates and/or Fees payable with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the accepting Lenders and (C) treat the modified Loans and Commitments of the accepting Lenders as a new Class of Loans and Commitments for all purposes under this Agreement.
(c) The Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the termination of the Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of the property constituting such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from
135
its obligations under its Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral to the extent required under the provisions of the Loan Documents.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Foreign Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Agent and may be amended and waived with the consent of the Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of each Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a Non-Consenting Lender ), then (x) the Agent may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of (1) any affected Class of such Lenders Commitments, the corresponding Loans owing to it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of such affected Class or (2) such Lenders Commitments, the Loans owing to it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, provided that the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such purchase all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.16 and an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such purchase under Section 2.15 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the Agent or (y) the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement by the Borrower, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, (ii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.16, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.15 had the
136
Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be, exercises its option hereunder, it shall promptly execute and deliver all agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment as set forth in Section 9.04. The Agent or the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such agreement and documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender and any such agreement and/or documentation so executed by the Agent or the Borrower shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.04.
(f) The Agent, Holdings and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender; provided , however , that no such amendment shall become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders, and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing thereto within such five Business Day period.
SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the financial institutions identified as the Joint Bookrunners on the cover of this Agreement, and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation of the Loan Documents and related documentation, (ii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside legal counsel to the Agent, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (iii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders, including the reasonable documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent and for one law firm retained by the Lenders (and one local counsel for both the Agent and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel per group of affected parties), in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or related negotiations in respect of such Loans, and (iv) subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, of the Loan Documents or of any separate agreement entered into by the Borrower and the Agent with respect thereto, all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in the administration of the Loan Documents. Expenses reimbursable by the Borrower under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any other applicable provision of any Loan Document, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with:
(i) lien and title searches and title insurance; and
137
(ii) Taxes, fees and other charges for recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Agents Liens.
Other than to the extent required to be paid on the Restatement Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an Indemnitee ) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, but excluding Taxes (other than Taxes referred to in Section 9.03(a)) which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.16 above, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby (including the use of proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit), (ii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such Lenders pro rata share (based upon its share of the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, Term Loans and unused Commitments, determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Related Party thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any Indemnitee from seeking to recover the preceding types of damages from the Borrower to the extent (a) otherwise required to be paid by Borrower to such Indemnitee under Section 9.02(b) and (b) specifically payable by such Indemnitee to any third party.
138
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be paid promptly after written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A) the Borrower (such consent being deemed given with respect to the assignment of Term Loans only unless the Borrower shall have objected to such assignment by written notice to the Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required (1) for an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (2) if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (b), (f) or (g) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee and provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment during the primary syndication of the Loans to Persons identified by the Agent to the Borrower on or prior to the Second Restatement Date and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower;
(B) the Agent; and
(C) the Swingline Lender, in the case of any assignment of a Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, and the Issuing Bank, in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenders Commitment or Loans, the
139
amount of the Commitment or the principal amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds (as defined below)) shall be in a minimum amount of at least $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans and in a minimum amount of at least of $1,000,000 in the case of Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent;
(B) each partial assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment or Revolving Loan shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Credit Exposure;
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent, manually) and, in each case, shall pay to the Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Agent); and
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver on or prior to the effective date of such assignment, to the Agent (1) an Administrative Questionnaire and (2) if applicable, an appropriate Internal Revenue Service form or other documentation (such as Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form adopted by the relevant United States taxing authority) as required by applicable law and to the extent a Lender would be required to provide such form or other documentation under Section 2.16(f) supporting such assignees position that no withholding by any Borrower or the Agent for United States income tax payable by such assignee in respect of amounts received by it hereunder is required.
The term Related Funds means with respect to any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any other Approved Fund that is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to
140
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 (subject to the requirements of Section 2.16) and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, or principal amount of, and any interest on, the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Register ). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignees completed Administrative Questionnaire and tax certifications required by Section 9.04(b)(ii)(D)(2) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(a), 2.17(b) or 9.03(c), the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.04.
(vi) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any
141
other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a Participant ) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrower, the Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) no such Participant shall be a creditor as defined in Regulation T or a foreign branch of a broker-dealer within the meaning of Regulation X. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(b) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Participant and the principal amounts of, and stated interest on, each participants interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the Participant Register ); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to the Borrower, the Agent or any other Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participants interest in the Commitments, Loans or other Obligations) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitments, Loans or other Obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
142
Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a Granting Lender ) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an SPC ), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) no SPC shall be a creditor as defined in Regulation T or a foreign branch of a broker-dealer within the meaning of Regulation X. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Agent and without
143
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06. Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Engagement Letter and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective as provided for in the Amendment and Restatement Agreement.
SECTION 9.07. Severability. To the extent permitted by law, any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or
144
any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT ANY TIME THAT ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LENDERS LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LENDERS REQUIRED BY SECTION 9.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE PARTIES AS REQUIRED ABOVE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS.
SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.

Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. The Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees (and each Lender agrees to cause its SPC, if any) to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory (including self-regulatory), governmental or administrative authority, (c) to the extent required by law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any SPC, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d) or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit

facilities hereunder and to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. For the purposes of this Section, Information means all information received from any Loan Party relating to the Loan Parties or their businesses, or the Transactions other than any such information that is available to the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that (a) it is not relying on or looking to any Margin Stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein and acknowledges that the Collateral shall not include any Margin Stock and (b) it is not and will not become a creditor as defined in Regulation T or a foreign branch of a broker-dealer within the meaning of Regulation X. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any Requirement of Law.
SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 9.15. Disclosure. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates. In addition, each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges that an Affiliate of the Agent was an initial purchaser of the Senior Subordinated Notes.
SECTION 9.16. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agents request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Agents instructions.
SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively, the
147
Charges ), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the Maximum Rate ) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.18. Effect of Restatement . This Agreement shall, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, supersede the First Restated Credit Agreement from and after the Second Restatement Date with respect to the transactions hereunder and with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding under the First Restated Credit Agreement as of the Second Restatement Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that (a) this Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the Obligations under the First Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Second Restatement Date, (b) such Obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the liens and security interests in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing payment of such Obligations are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Obligations and (d) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement.
SECTION 9.19. Conversion of Currencies . (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
(b) The obligations of each party in respect of any sum due to any other party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the Applicable Creditor ) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the Judgment Currency ) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the Agreement Currency ), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 9.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
148
SECTION 9.20. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship . Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, is intended to be or has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, have an arms-length business relationship that does not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do any of the Loan Parties rely on, any advisory or fiduciary duty on the part of the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, (c) it is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) it has been advised that each of the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates is engaged in a broad range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from the interests of the Loan Parties and that none of the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates has any obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to any of the Loan Parties by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship, and (e) none of the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank has any obligation to the Loan Parties or their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, except those obligations expressly set forth therein or in any other express writing executed and delivered by the Agent, such Joint Lead Arranger, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, on the one hand, and such Loan Party or such Affiliate, on the other hand.

Mandatory Cost
1. | The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority and/or the Prudential Regulation Authority (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank. |
2. | On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as practicable thereafter) the Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the Additional Cost Rate ) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Borrowing) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. |
3. | The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Agent. This percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lenders participation in all Loans made from such lending office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Loans made from that lending office. |
4. | The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows: |
(a) | in relation to any Loan denominated in Pounds: |
AB + C ( B D ) + E x 0.01 |
per cent. per annum
|
|
100 ( A + C ) |
(b) | in relation to any Loan denominated in any currency other than Pounds: |
E x 0.01 |
per cent. per annum.
|
|
300 |
Where:
A | is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements. |
B |
is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate and the Mandatory Cost and, in the case of a defaulted amount, any additional rate of |
interest specified in Section 2.12(c)) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan. |
C | is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England. |
D | is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits. |
E | is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in Pounds per £1,000,000. |
5. | For the purposes of this Schedule: |
(a) | Eligible Liabilities and Special Deposits have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; |
(b) | Fees Rules means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Conduct Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits; |
(c) | Fee Tariffs means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); |
(d) | Participating Member State means any member state of the European Communities that adopts or has adopted the Euro as its lawful currency in accordance with legislation of the European Union relating to Economic and Monetary Union; |
(e) | Reference Banks means, in relation to LIBOR and Mandatory Cost the principal London office of Credit Suisse AG or such other banks as may be appointed by the Agent; and |
(f) | Tariff Base has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules. |
6. | In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e., 5 percent will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places. |
7. |
If requested by the Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Conduct Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the |
2

Exhibit 99.1
TransDigm Group Announces Successful Completion of Incremental Term Loan and Notes Offering; a Special Cash Dividend of $25.00 Per Share; and the Purchase of a Portion of its 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018
Cleveland, Ohio, June 5, 2014/PRNewswire / TransDigm Group Incorporated (TransDigm Group) (NYSE: TDG) announced today that on June 4, 2014, its wholly-owned subsidiary, TransDigm Inc. (the Company), received the funding of an additional incremental term loan of $825 million at a current interest rate of approximately 3.8% and that it has successfully completed its previously announced private offering of $2.350 billion (the Offering) aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes, consisting of $1.150 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the 2022 Notes) and $1.200 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (together with the 2022 Notes, the Notes).
TransDigm Group also announced that its board of directors has authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $25.00 on each outstanding share of common stock and cash dividend equivalent payments under certain of its stock option plans. The record date for the special dividend is June 16, 2014, and the payment date for the dividend is June 26, 2014.
W. Nicholas Howley, TransDigm Groups Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, Our regularly stated goal is to give our shareholders returns similar to well performing private equity funds while providing the liquidity of a public market. This special dividend is part of our ongoing efforts to actively manage our balance sheet as part of our program to meet that goal. We believe the credit market conditions are quite favorable and provide us with an unusually good opportunity to again accelerate returns to our shareholders. Additionally, due to these strong market conditions, we were able to reduce our overall average interest rate, increase our revolver, extend maturities and make other favorable revisions to our credit agreement. The combination of current cash on hand of approximately $750 million, net of expected dividend related payments and refinancing fees; an undrawn revolver of approximately $410; additional capacity under our amended credit agreement; and our typically strong quarterly cash generation, should allow us adequate financial capacity to meet our likely range of operating and acquisition needs.
The Company also announced it has accepted for purchase approximately $1.209 billion aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the 2018 Notes) representing all that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on May 22, 2014 (the Consent Expiration) pursuant to the Companys previously announced cash offers to purchase and consent solicitations (the Tender Offer) for any and all of its outstanding 2018 Notes.
The Company used approximately $1.35 billion of the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the purchase of the 2018 Notes and the related consent payments. The Company expects to use a portion of the remaining net proceeds of the Offering to fund the purchase price of any additional 2018 Notes that are validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and to redeem any and all of the 2018 Notes that remain outstanding following the consummation of the Tender Offer. On June 4, 2014, the Company issued a notice of redemption with respect to any and all of its 2018 Notes that remain outstanding following the expiration of the Tender Offer.
The Company also received sufficient consents to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 2018 Notes (the Indenture) that, among other modifications, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default in the Indenture. The Company and the trustee of the 2018 Notes have entered into a supplemental indenture implementing these amendments, which became operative on June 4, 2014.
The Tender Offer remains open and expires at 9:00 a.m. New York City time, on June 9, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, (the Expiration Time). Holders who validly tender, and do not validly withdraw, their 2018 Notes after the Consent Expiration and prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration of $1,046.69 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Notes, but will not receive the consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Notes.
