Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Secured Notes Offering

On April 8, 2025 (the “Closing Date”) Bausch Health Companies Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) completed its previously announced private offering (the “Offering”) of $4.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 10.000% senior secured notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, 1261229 B.C. Ltd. (the “Issuer”), a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada.

The Notes were offered in the United States and sold only to (i) persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act that are also qualified purchasers within the meaning of Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and (ii) non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Issuer intends to loan the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with funds borrowed under the Term Loan Facility (as defined below), to the Company pursuant to an intercompany loan (the “Intercompany Loan”). The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering, together with proceeds of the Term Loan Facility (i) to repay in full and terminate the Company’s existing credit agreement, (ii) to redeem all of its 5.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2025, 9.000% Senior Notes due 2025, 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2027, 5.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 and its indirect subsidiary’s 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2028, (iii) to pay related fees, premiums and expenses and (iv) for general corporate purposes.

The Notes Indenture

The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 8, 2025 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Company, the other guarantors named therein, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and the notes collateral agents party thereto.

Interest and Maturity

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes will mature on April 15, 2032. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 2025.

Guarantees

The Notes are (i) secured, subject to customary limitations, by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of the Issuer and the NumberCo Note Guarantors (as defined below), including a pledge of the Issuer’s 52.5% equity interest in Bausch + Lomb Corporation (“Bausch + Lomb,” and such shares, the “NumberCo Collateral”) and (ii) jointly and severally guaranteed by (x) the Company and subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Company’s existing senior notes (the “BHC Existing Note Guarantors”), with such guarantees secured by the assets of such guarantors, subject to customary limitations, by a first-priority lien that ranks pari passu with the liens securing the Company’s existing first-lien senior secured notes and the new senior secured credit facilities and (y) certain subsidiaries of the Company that do not guarantee the Company’s existing senior notes (the “NumberCo Note Guarantors” and, together with the BHC Existing Note Guarantors, the “Note Guarantors”), with such guarantees secured by the assets of such guarantors, subject to customary limitations, by a first-priority lien that ranks pari passu with the liens securing the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

Optional Redemption

The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2028, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture. Prior to April 15, 2028, the Issuer may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption, plus a “make-whole” premium.

Mandatory Redemption

The Notes are subject to mandatory redemption upon (i) the receipt of net cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Bausch + Lomb that constitute NumberCo Collateral, (ii) the receipt of any dividends, distributions or other amounts on account of such Bausch + Lomb shares that constitute NumberCo Collateral in excess of $50 million or (iii) the receipt of funds from any repayment of principal on certain intercompany obligations.

The Issuer will be required to redeem, on a pro rata basis with obligations under the Credit Agreement, the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be redeemed (or mandatorily prepaid under the Credit Agreement) out of such proceeds or amounts. The redemption price for the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to such a mandatory redemption is the lower of (i) 105.000% of the principal amount thereof and (ii) the redemption price that would be applicable had the Issuer elected to optionally redeem the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

Offers to Purchase

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders of Notes may require the Issuer to repurchase such holder’s Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the purchase date applicable to the Notes.

After the payment in full of all indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (other than revolving credit indebtedness), within 10 business days of the date on which the aggregate amount of interest paid by the Company on the Intercompany Loan, net of tax, that has not been applied by the Issuer to repay principal or pay interest expense of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement (other than revolving credit indebtedness) or in respect of the Notes or certain incremental debt or permitted refinancing debt that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Notes and that is not reasonably projected by the Issuer to be applied to pay interest expense of the Issuer or the Note Guarantors in respect of indebtedness under the Notes or certain incremental debt or permitted refinancing debt that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Notes within the next six months of such date (the “Intercompany Loan Excess Cash”) exceeds $50 million, the Issuer will make an offer to all holders of Notes and to all holders of certain incremental debt and permitted refinancing debt that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Notes containing similar offers to pay, repurchase or redeem Intercompany Loan Excess Cash, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes, such incremental debt and such permitted refinancing debt that may be purchased out of the Intercompany Loan Excess Cash. The offer price in any such offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash.

Certain Covenants

The Indenture contains covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, that limit the ability of the Company and any of its restricted subsidiaries, to, among other things:

•

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

•

pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, equity interests and make other restricted payments;

•

make certain investments and other restricted payments;

•

create liens;

•

enter into transactions with affiliates;

•

engage in mergers, consolidations or amalgamations; and

•

transfer and sell assets.

The Indenture contains additional covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, specific to the Issuer and the NumberCo Note Guarantors, including a covenant that will prohibit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries from taking any action that would result in the Issuer or any NumberCo Note Guarantors no longer constituting non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries with respect to the indentures governing the Company’s existing notes. In addition, the Indenture contains certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer to take certain actions with respect to (i) common shares of Bausch + Lomb that constitute NumberCo Collateral and (ii) its rights and obligations under certain intercompany obligations.

Events of Default

The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.

The foregoing summary of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the Indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, the Issuer entered into a new senior secured credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other certain financial institutions, as agents and/or lenders (the “Credit Agreement”), which will include (i) a $3,000 million 5.5-year senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a 5-year senior secured revolving credit facility that will provide for borrowings in an initial commitment amount of $500 million, including a sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and a sublimit for swingline loans (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Issuer is the borrower under each of the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, and each facility is guaranteed by each of the Note Guarantors. In addition, each of the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the same collateral that secures the Notes and related guarantees under the Indenture.

Term Loan Facility

Maturity, Amortization and Prepayments

The Term Loan Facility has an initial five-and-one-half year maturity. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the initial principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, commencing September 30, 2025, with the balance payable on the maturity date.

The Issuer is permitted to voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Term Loan Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as set forth in the next paragraph), subject to customary “breakage” costs. The Term Loan Facility includes a 100% net cash proceeds sweep, on a pro rata basis with obligations under the Notes, in connection with (i) the receipt of net cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Bausch + Lomb that constitute NumberCo Collateral (the “BLCO Share Collateral”), (ii) the receipt of any dividends, distributions or other amounts on account of such BLCO Share Collateral in excess of $50 million, (iii) prepayment of certain intercompany obligations, (iv) asset sales or other dispositions of any property of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or any casualty or condemnation event (subject to reinvestment rights and with any prepayments to be shared ratably with the BHC Existing First Lien Notes due 2028 and the Notes) and (v) cash of the borrower from payments under certain intercompany obligations after funding principal and interest payments (including for the next six months) under the Credit Agreement and the Notes.

In the case of any of the following prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date: (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan Facility with the proceeds of any new or replacement broadly syndicated pari passu secured U.S. dollar denominated floating rate term “b” loan facilities that have a lower effective yield than the Term Loan Facility or (ii) any repricing amendment of the Term Loan Facility reducing the all-in yield of the Term Loan Facility, the Issuer expects to pay a 1% prepayment fee with respect to the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility so prepaid or amended.

Interest Rate

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, with respect to U.S. Dollar borrowings, based on our election of either (1) an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate (each subject to a 0.00% floor), plus 0.500% and (iii) the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for a one-month interest period, plus 1.000%, subject to a 1.000% floor, plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (2) the Term SOFR Rate for the applicable interest period, subject to a 0% floor, plus the Applicable Margin.

The Applicable Margin in connection with a borrowing under the Term Loan Facility is 5.25% for alternate base rate borrowings and 6.25% for Term SOFR Rate borrowings.

Revolving Credit Facility

Maturity and Prepayments

The Revolving Credit Facility has an initial maturity of the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the Closing Date and (ii) the date that is 91 calendar days prior to the scheduled maturity date of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or the Issuer in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $1,000 million.

The Issuer is permitted to voluntarily repay outstanding loans and reduce commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, but subject to customary “breakage” costs.

Interest Rate and Fees

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, with respect to U.S. Dollar borrowings, based on our election of either (1) an alternate base rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate (each subject to a 0.00% floor), plus 0.500% and (iii) the Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period, plus 1.000% , subject to a 1.000% floor, plus the Applicable Margin or (2) the Term SOFR Rate for the applicable interest period plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.100%, subject to a 0% floor, plus the Applicable Margin. All swingline loans are priced as alternate base rate loans.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, with respect to Canadian Dollar borrowings, based on our election of either (1) Term CORRA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.29547% for a one month interest period or 0.32138% for a three-month interest period, subject to a 0% floor, plus the Applicable Margin or (2) a rate equal to the highest of (i) the Canadian prime rate then in effect and (ii) the annual rate of interest equal to the sum of the (x) Term CORRA rate plus 0.29547% for a one month interest period and (y) 1.00%, subject to a 0% floor, plus the Applicable Margin.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, with respect to Euro borrowings, based on the adjusted EURIBOR Screen Rate, subject to a 0% floor, for any applicable interest period plus the Applicable Margin.

The Applicable Margin in connection with alternate base rate borrowings, Canadian prime rate loans and swingline loans is 3.25% and in connection with adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans, adjusted EURIBOR rate loans and adjusted Term CORRA rate loans is 4.25%; provided that, in each case, the Applicable Margin is subject to two 0.250% step-downs subject to compliance with a Blended First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 2.6:1.00 and 2.1:1.00, respectively. In addition, we are required to pay commitment fees of 0.50% per annum in respect of the commitments (whether utilized or unutilized) under the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears, subject to two 0.125% step-downs subject to compliance with a Blended First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of 2.6:1.00 and 2.1:1.00, respectively. We are also required to pay letter of credit fees on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all outstanding letters of credit in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin in connection with adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans, adjusted EURIBOR rate loans and adjusted Term CORRA rate loans under the Revolving Credit Facility on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears, as well as customary fronting fees for the issuance of letters of credit and agency fees.

Additional Terms

Incremental Term Loan Facilities

The Credit Agreement provides for an accordion feature that allows the Issuer, on one or more occasions prior to December 31, 2025, to increase the size of the Term Loan Facility, add one or more incremental term loan facilities or incur incremental equivalent debt in the form of broadly syndicated U.S. dollar denominated floating rate term “b” loan facilities, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,600 million less the amount of any Drop Down Debt (as defined below) originally incurred (whether or not such Drop Down Debt remains outstanding at the time of such incurrence of incremental term loan facilities or incremental equivalent debt), secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility. The incurrence of such incremental term loan facilities or incremental equivalent debt is subject to customary conditions, including that a specified amount of BLCO Share Collateral is added to the Collateral based on the amount of such incremental term loan facilities or incremental equivalent debt incurred.

Guarantees and Security

The obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Note Guarantors, subject to certain customary exceptions. Such obligations and the related guarantees are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible assets owned by us or by any guarantor, in each case subject to permitted liens (including that the liens on the Collateral securing such obligations will be pari passu with the liens on the Collateral securing the Notes) and certain customary exceptions.

Covenants and Events of Default

The Credit Agreement includes covenants limiting, with certain exceptions (1) incurrence of indebtedness, (2) liens, (3) negative pledges, (4) dividends or other distributions on account of capital stock, (5) prepayments of junior indebtedness, (6) investments and acquisitions, (7) fundamental changes and dispositions of assets, (8) sale and leaseback transactions, (9) establishment of a defined benefit plan, (10) transactions with affiliates, (11) amendments or waivers of junior indebtedness, (12) activities of the borrower and (13) modifications of certain intercompany obligations; provided that the foregoing covenants allow up to an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,600 million of indebtedness, which amount is subject to reduction on a dollar-for-dollar basis in the event that the Issuer exercises its option to incur indebtedness under certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement (the “Drop Down Debt”), of the Issuer and the Notes Guarantors secured by an equal and ratable lien on the Collateral, other than the BLCO Share Collateral, such that after giving effect to such incurrence, on a pro forma basis, the Blended First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed 4.25:1.00.

The Credit Agreement requires in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility that (i) we maintain a Blended First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) not to exceed 4.25:1.00 (or on and after the last day of the first full fiscal quarter in which the Company no longer has meaningful exclusivity protection via patents or no longer has regulatory exclusivity rights for Xifaxan (the “Covenant Step-Up Date”), 5.75:1.00) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2025 and (ii) on and after the Covenant Step-Up Date, we maintain minimum Liquidity (the sum of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility) on the last day of each fiscal quarter of $400 million.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. If an event of default, as specified in the Credit Agreement, shall occur and be continuing, the Issuer may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility

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

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

The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Notes for original issue in an initial aggregate principal amount of $4,400,000,000 and Additional Notes as contemplated by Section 2.1(c) hereof, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (a “Company Order”).

The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the applicable amounts in the foregoing sentence, except as provided in Sections 2.1(c) and 2.7 hereof.

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

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $200,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

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

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

The Issuer hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Notes custodian, and the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be the office located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10286) as one such office or agency of the Issuer for each of the aforesaid purposes.

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

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

SECTION 2.5 Noteholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each interest payment date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders.

SECTION 2.6 Transfer and Exchange.

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

Neither the Issuer, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Notes or portions thereof in respect of which a Change of Control Purchase Notice, a notice in connection with an Intercompany Loan Excess Cash Offer or a notice in connection with an Asset Sale Offer has been delivered and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Note in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased). In addition, neither the Issuer, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Notes or portions thereof for a period of 15 days before a selection of such Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed or selected for redemption.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.9 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any notice, direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes or by any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor shall be disregarded, except that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such notice, direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which

a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is neither the Issuer nor any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.

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

SECTION 2.11 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee or its agent any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel, in accordance with its standard procedures, all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation and shall deliver the canceled Notes to the Issuer. The Issuer may not hold or resell such Notes or issue any new Notes to replace any Notes delivered for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12 Legend; Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements.

(a) The Initial Notes, any Additional Notes and any Notes issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes shall bear the legends set forth on the form of Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Legend”); provided that (i) Definitive Notes shall not bear the Global Note Legend.

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

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

(d) [Reserved.]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(vii) The Issuer shall have the right to compel any beneficial owner of a Rule 144A Note (or any interest therein) to provide proof that it is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser at any time. If, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer contained in this Indenture, the Issuer determines that any beneficial owner of a Rule 144A Note (or any interest therein) is not both a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, then the Issuer may require, by notice to such beneficial owner, that such beneficial owner sell all of its rights, title and interest to such Rule 144A Note (or interest therein) to a person that is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, with such sale to be effected within 30 days after notice of such sale requirement is given. If such beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, the Issuer shall have the right (1) to compel such Holder to sell its interest in the Rule 144A Notes, (2) to assign to such Rule 144A Notes a separate CUSIP number or numbers, or (3) without further notice to such Holder, to sell such Rule 144A Notes or interest in such Rule 144A Notes, as applicable, to a purchaser selected by the Issuer on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes, and selling such interest to the highest such bidder; provided, however, that the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion. Each Holder of a Note and each owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Note (and each other person in the chain of title), as applicable, by their acceptance of an interest in the applicable Notes agree to cooperate with the Issuer and any other party to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to such Holder. The terms and conditions of any such sale shall be determined in the Issuer’s sole discretion, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable to any person having an interest in the Rule 144A Notes sold as a result of any sale pursuant to this Section 2.12(f)(vii) or the exercise of such discretion.

(g) Section 3(c)(7) Procedures.

(i) The Issuer shall send on at least an annual basis, a notice from the Issuer to the Depositary (the “Important Section 3(c)(7) Notice”), with a request that the Depositary forward each such notice to the relevant Depository participants for further delivery to beneficial owners of Notes. Each Important Section 3(c)(7) Notice will state that (i) each holder of the Notes must be able to make the acknowledgements and representations set forth in Section 2.13 hereof (the “Representations”), (ii) the Notes (or any interests in the Notes) are transferable only to purchasers deemed to have made the Representations and to have satisfied the other transfer restrictions applicable to the Notes, (iii) in the case of the Rule 144A Notes, the Issuer shall have the right to refuse to honor any transfer to a person who is not determined to be a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser and to treat any purchase by a person who is not determined to be a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser as null and void and to require such purchaser to sell its Rule 144A Notes (or any interests in the Rule 144A Notes) to a transferee designated by the Issuer and (iv) the Rule 144A Notes (or any interests in the Rule 144A Notes) can only be transferred to a person who is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser in compliance with Rule 144A.

(ii) The Issuer shall take the following steps with respect to the 144A Notes, in each case, to the extent permitted by the procedures of the Depositary at such time, and such other steps as it deems necessary or advisable in addition to and/or in lieu of the procedures outlined in this Section 2.12(g) to ensure that the Issuer may continue to rely on the exemption from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act in connection with the Notes:

(A) The Issuer shall direct the Depositary to include the “144A” and “3c7” marker in the appropriate descriptors for the 144A Global Notes in order to indicate that sales are limited to QIBs that are Qualified Purchasers.

(B) The Issuer shall direct the Depositary to cause each physical Depositary deliver order ticket delivered by the Depositary to purchasers of 144A Global Notes to contain the appropriate descriptors; and shall direct the Depositary to cause each Depositary deliver order ticket delivered by the Depositary to purchasers of 144A Global Notes in electronic form to contain the “3c7” indicator and a related user manual for participants, which shall contain a description of the relevant restrictions.

(C) The Issuer shall instruct the Depositary, on or prior to the Issue Date, to send an Important Section 3(c)(7) Notice to all Depositary participants in connection with the initial offering of the Notes.

(D) The Issuer shall advise the Depositary that it is a Section 3(c)(7) issuer and shall request that the Depositary include the 144A Global Notes in the Depositary’s “Reference Directory” of Section 3(c)(7) offerings and provide its participants with an Important Section 3(c)(7) Notice.

(E) The Issuer shall from time to time request the Depositary to deliver to the Issuer a list of all Depositary participants holding an interest in the 144A Global Notes.

(iii) The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to request third-party vendors (including, without limitation, Bloomberg, L.P.) that provide information regarding the Notes to include on screens maintained by such vendors customary and appropriate legends regarding Rule 144A and Section 3(c)(7) restrictions of the Rule 144A Notes.

(iv) The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the “CUSIP” number obtained for the Rule 144A Notes to have an attached “fixed field” that contains “3c7” and “144A” indications.

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

SECTION 2.13 Holder Representations and Warranties. Each Person who becomes a Holder of Notes shall be deemed to acknowledge, represent, warrant and agree on the date such Person acquires any interest in any Note the following:

(a) It is purchasing the Notes as a principal for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is either (A) a QIB that is also a Qualified Purchaser, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) a non-U.S. purchaser that is outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S.

(b) It acknowledges that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or qualified for sale to the public by prospectus under applicable Canadian Securities Laws and may not be offered or sold except as set forth below. Further, each purchaser of the Notes will be deemed to have represented and agreed that it is: (i) an “accredited investor” (as defined in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, such instrument implemented in Québec as Regulation 45-106 respecting Prospectus Exemptions, together “NI 45-106”) or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), as applicable; (ii) a “permitted client” (as such term is defined in National Instrument 31-103 – Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations); (iii) not a person created or used solely to purchase or hold the Notes as an “accredited investor” as described in paragraph (m) of the definition of “accredited investor” in section 1.1 of NI 45 106; and (iv) purchasing as principal (or deemed to be purchasing as principal under applicable Canadian Securities Laws), in a manner exempt from the prospectus requirements under applicable Canadian Securities Laws in reliance on one or more the exemptions from the prospectus requirements under subsection 2.4(2) of NI 45-106 or subsection 73.4(2) of the Securities Act (Ontario), as applicable.

(c) It shall not resell or otherwise transfer any of such Notes, except (A) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) inside the United States to a QIB that is also a Qualified Purchaser in a transaction complying with Rule 144A, (C) outside the United States in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (D) to a Qualified Purchaser pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act (if available), or (E) to a Qualified Purchaser pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. Further, it shall not resell or otherwise transfer any of such Notes except pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements of Canadian Securities Laws, or in a transaction that otherwise complies with or is not subject to the prospectus requirements of Canadian Securities Laws.

(d) It agrees that it will give to each person to whom it transfers the Notes notice of any restrictions on transfer of such Notes.

(e) It acknowledges that prior to any proposed transfer of Notes in certificated form or of beneficial interests in a Global Note (in each case other than pursuant to an effective registration statement) the holder of Notes or the holder of beneficial interests in a Global Note, as the case may be, may be required to provide certifications and other documentation relating to the manner of such transfer and submit such certifications and other documentation as provided in this Indenture.

(f) It understands and acknowledges that this Indenture provides that if, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer contained herein, the Issuer determines that any beneficial owner of a Rule 144A Note is not both a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, then the Issuer may require, by notice to such beneficial owner, that such beneficial owner sell all of its rights, title and interest to such Rule 144A Note (or interest therein) to a person that is a QIB and a Qualified Purchaser, with such sale to be effected within 30 days after notice of such sale requirement is given. If such beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, the Issuer shall have the right (1) to compel such Holder to sell its interest in the Rule 144A Notes, (2) to assign to such Rule 144A Notes a separate CUSIP number or numbers, or (3) without further notice to such Holder, to sell such Rule 144A Notes or interest in such Rule 144A Notes, as applicable, to a purchaser selected by the Issuer on such terms as the Issuer may choose. The Issuer may select the purchaser by soliciting one or more bids from one or more brokers or other market professionals that regularly deal in securities similar to the Notes, and selling such interest to the highest such bidder; provided, however, that the Issuer may select a purchaser by any other means determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion. Each Holder of a Rule 144A Note and each owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Note (and each other person in the chain of title), as applicable, by their acceptance of an interest in the applicable Rule 144A Notes agree to cooperate with the Issuer and any other party to effect such transfers. The proceeds of such sale, net of any commissions, expenses and taxes due in connection with such sale shall be remitted to such Holder. The terms and conditions of any such sale shall be determined in the Issuer’s sole discretion, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be liable to any person having an interest in the Rule 144A Notes sold as a result of any such sale or the exercise of such discretion.

(g) It understands that all of the Notes will bear the Legend unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer and the holder thereof.

(h) Either (a) no portion of the assets used by it to acquire and hold the Notes, or any interest therein, constitutes assets of any (i) employee benefit plan subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), (ii) plan, account or other arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (iii) entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such employee benefit plan, plan, account or other arrangement or (iv) governmental, church or non-U.S. plan that is not subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code but may be subject to other laws or regulations that are substantially similar to those provisions (“Similar Laws”) or (b) the purchase, holding and subsequent disposition of the Notes by it will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or violate any Similar Law, and none of the Company, the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) is acting as its fiduciary and nothing contained in the Offering Memorandum was relied on as investment advice in connection with its transactions with the Transaction Parties contemplated hereby.

(i) It acknowledges that the Issuer and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the acknowledgements, representations and agreements contained in this Section 2.13 and agrees that if any of the acknowledgements, representations or agreements deemed to have been made by its purchase of the Notes are no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Issuer. If it is acquiring the Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, it represents that it has sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and it has full power to make the foregoing acknowledgments, representations and agreements on behalf of each such account.

(j) It acknowledges that the Issuer is not, and has no intention of becoming, a “reporting issuer,” as such term is defined under Canadian Securities Laws, in any province or territory of Canada. Under no circumstances will the Issuer be required to file a prospectus or similar document with any securities regulator in Canada qualifying the resale of the Notes to the public. Accordingly, the resale provisions of section 2.6(3) of National Instrument 45-102 - Resale of Securities will not be available to holders of the Notes.

SECTION 2.14 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers in notices of purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers applicable to the Notes.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES

SECTION 3.1 Right to Redeem. The Issuer, at its option, may redeem the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.7 hereof.

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

SECTION 3.2 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If the Issuer elects to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes, the Notes will be selected for redemption as follows:

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

The Notes and portions of the Notes selected for redemption will be in amounts of $200,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. No Notes of $200,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

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

Redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 8.3 or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1.

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

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

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

SECTION 3.7 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to April 15, 2028, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The Issuer shall calculate the redemption price, including any Applicable Premium.

(b) The Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of the years set forth below:


Year	Percentage
2028		105.000	%
2029		102.500	%
2030 and thereafter		100.000	%

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3.7, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes (including any Change of Control Offer), in the event that holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuer purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders in such tender offer, within 30 days of such purchase, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the price offered to each holder in such tender offer (excluding any early tender or similar incentive fee), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

(d) In connection with any optional redemption of Notes, any such redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent. If a redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the applicable redemption notice shall describe such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, without the requirement of an additional notice period to the Holders, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.

(e) If the Issuer or any Note Guarantor becomes obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount will be payable with respect to the Notes, any Additional Amounts as a result of (i) any amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined in Section 4.21 herein), which amendment or change is publicly announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date) or (ii) any amendment to, or change in, an official written interpretation or application of such laws or regulations (including by virtue of a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction) which amendment or change is publicly announced and becomes effective after the Issue Date (or, if the applicable Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction became a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, after such later date) (each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a “Change in Tax Law”) and the Issuer or the applicable Note Guarantor cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it (including making payment through a paying agent located in another jurisdiction, but not including the substitution of an obligor if the Issuer would be required to pay Additional Amounts), the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes then outstanding, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that if such right to redeem is triggered by the obligation of a Note Guarantor to pay Additional Amounts, such right to redeem will apply only if the payment giving rise to such obligation cannot be made by the Issuer or another Note Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts. Notice of the Issuer’s intent to redeem the Notes shall not be given until the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an opinion of tax counsel to the effect that there has been such Change in Tax Law which would entitle the Issuer to redeem the Notes hereunder and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Issuer or the applicable Note Guarantor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Person to the Issuer or the applicable Note Guarantor, after such successor Person becomes a party to this Indenture, with respect to a Change in Tax Law that is publicly announced and becomes effective after such successor Person becomes a party to this Indenture.

(f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof. If any redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the relevant interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Issuer.

(g) In connection with any redemption under this Section 3.7, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent in this Indenture to the redemption have been complied with. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each redemption or distribution in respect of the principal amount of the Notes after acceleration thereof under Section 6.2 hereof (including automatically pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof), shall be accompanied by, and there shall become due and payable automatically upon acceleration, a payment premium payable in cash on the principal amount so redeemed or distributed or on the principal amount that has become or is declared accelerated, in an amount equal to the Applicable Premium or the Redemption Price Premium, as applicable, calculated on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so redeemed, distributed or accelerated, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes. If the Applicable Premium or the Redemption Price Premium, as applicable, becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of the Notes, and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Notes (including the Applicable Premium or the Redemption Price Premium, as applicable) from and after the applicable triggering event.

SECTION 3.8 Purchase of Notes at Option of the Holder Upon Change of Control.

(a) If at any time that Notes remain outstanding there shall occur a Change of Control, the Notes shall be purchased by the Issuer at the option of the Holders, on the Change of Control Purchase Date, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Change of Control Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”), subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of any Holder of the requirements set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 3.8.

(b) Within 30 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control with respect to the Notes, the Issuer shall transmit a written notice (“Company Notice”) of the Change of Control to the Trustee and to each Holder of Notes (and to Beneficial Owners as required by applicable law) pursuant to which the Company shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $200,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at the Change of Control Purchase Price. The notice shall include the form of a Change of Control Purchase Notice to be completed by the Holder, shall describe the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and shall state:

(v) the Holder’s right to require the Issuer to purchase the Notes;

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

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

The Issuer shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.8, a portion of a Note if the principal amount of such portion is $200,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Note pursuant to Sections 3.8 through 3.13 also apply to the purchase of such portion of such Note.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to a Paying Agent the Change of Control Purchase Notice contemplated by this subsection (c) shall have the right to withdraw such Change of Control Purchase Notice in whole or with respect to a portion thereof that is in a principal amount of $200,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof.

A Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of the receipt by it of any Change of Control Purchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of Global Notes, any Change of Control Purchase Notice may be delivered or withdrawn and such Notes may be surrendered or delivered for purchase in accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

(d) The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control with respect to the Notes if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer set forth in subsection (b) of this Section 3.8 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption with respect to all of the Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. In addition, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of launching the Change of Control Offer.

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

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

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

A Change of Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand delivery, electronic submission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Notes, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary’s customary procedures) of withdrawal delivered by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date, specifying the principal amount of the Note or portion thereof (which must be a principal amount of $200,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted.

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

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

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

(ii) when the aggregate amount of any dividends, distributions or other amounts received on account of the Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral (other than pursuant to clause (i) above) received by the Issuer exceeds $50.0 million; and

(iii) upon the receipt of any funds from any prepayments of any Intercompany Loan.

(b) On the fifth Business Day following any Mandatory Redemption Event (such Business Day, a “Mandatory Redemption Date”), the Issuer will redeem the Notes and, if and to the extent required by the terms of any New First Priority Obligations, such New First Priority Obligations containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Section 3.16 with respect to mandatory prepayments or redemptions to mandatorily prepay or redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes, net of any taxes paid or payable by the Issuer in connection with such redemption or repayment, and such New First Priority Obligations that may be mandatorily prepaid or redeemed upon such Mandatory Redemption Event. The redemption price for the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to such Mandatory Redemption Event will be equal to the lower of (i) 105.000% of the principal amount thereof and (ii) the redemption price set forth in Section 3.7(b) hereof that would be applicable had the Issuer elected to optionally redeem the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Mandatory Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and New First Priority Obligations to be redeemed or mandatorily prepaid exceeds the amount of proceeds or other amounts received by the Issuer in respect of such Mandatory Redemption Event, the Issuer will determine the amount of the Notes and such First Lien Obligations to be redeemed or mandatorily prepaid on a pro rata basis or as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures) on a pro rata pass-through distribution of principal basis, and if the Notes are in definitive registered form, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased by lot. In the case of Global Notes, interests in such Global Notes will be selected for redemption by DTC in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

(c) Any notices of mandatory redemption will be mailed by first class mail to holders of certificated Notes (or otherwise transmitted to registered holders of Global Notes in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) at least three Business Days before the Mandatory Redemption Date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that note will state the portion of the principal amount of that note that is to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original note. In the case of a Global Note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. No Note of $200,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

(d) On and after the Mandatory Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

(e) In connection with any redemption under this Section 3.16, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent in this Indenture to the redemption have been complied with. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price.

COVENANTS

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

The Issuer will make payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder of the Global Note. The Issuer will make all payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to Definitive Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders of the Definitive Notes, in the case of a Holder holding an aggregate principal amount of Notes of $1,000,000 or

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

SECTION 4.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

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

(b) The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the United States of America, for such purposes. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c) The Issuer hereby designates the offices of the Trustee set forth in Section 2.3 hereof as one such office or agency of the Issuer.

SECTION 4.3 Reports.

(a) Whether or not required by the SEC’s rules and regulations, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall furnish (to the extent not publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system) to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes and post on the Company’s website (in a format that is accessible to Holders of Notes as well as prospective Holders of Notes), within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations:

(i) all quarterly and annual reports that the Company would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such reports; and

(ii) all current reports that the Company would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

All such reports shall be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (other than consolidating financial information required by Rule 3-10, 13-01 or 13-02 of Regulation S-X or any comparable provision so long as the Company complies with Section 4.3(d)). Each annual report on Form 10-K shall include a report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements by the Company’s independent registered public accountants. In addition, the Company shall file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations applicable to such reports (unless the SEC will not accept such a filing or the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

(b) If, at any time, the Company is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, and regardless of whether it continues to file reports with the SEC, the Company shall nevertheless continue making the reports specified in Section 4.3(a) hereof available to the Holders of the Notes, prospective investors and securities analysts by posting such information on its website. While the Company remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company agrees that it shall not take any action for the purpose of causing the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Company’s filings for any reason, the Company shall post the reports referred to in Section 4.3(a) hereof on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Company were required to file those reports with the SEC.

(c) The Company further agrees that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, at any time it is not required to file the reports required by Section 4.3(a) or (b) hereof with the SEC, it shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(d) The quarterly and annual financial information required by Sections 4.3(a) and (b) hereof for all fiscal periods ending after the Issue Date shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed presentation of (to the extent not publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system):

(i) the total assets, liabilities, revenues and income from operations of Subsidiaries of the Company that do not Guarantee the Notes and

(ii) after the incurrence of any Drop Down Debt, the Consolidated Cash Flow of 153 NumberCo and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such quarterly fiscal period and the Issuer Group First Lien Secured Debt and Total Consolidated Indebtedness of 153 NumberCo and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the end of such quarterly fiscal period.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether this Section 4.3(d) has been satisfied, nor shall it have any liability in connection therewith.

(e) As long as the Notes are secured by Liens on any Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral, the Issuer will furnish (to the extent not publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system) to the holders of Notes:

(i) within 90 days of each fiscal year, annual audited financial statements of Bausch + Lomb prepared in accordance with GAAP; and

(ii) within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, quarterly unaudited financial statements of Bausch + Lomb prepared in accordance with GAAP;

provided that, if Bausch + Lomb ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company, the Issuer will have no obligation to deliver any such financial statements for any period if it does not receive such financial statements of Bausch + Lomb for such period from Bausch + Lomb.

(f) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Company or the Issuer fails to comply with its obligation to file or provide such information, documents and reports as required by this Section 4.3, the Company or the Issuer will be deemed to have cured such Default with respect to the Notes for purposes of Section 6.1(d) upon the filing or provision of all such information, documents and reports required hereunder prior to the expiration of 90 days after written notice to the Issuer of such failure from the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee from the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of the Notes.

SECTION 4.4 Compliance Certificates. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025), an Officer’s Certificate as to the signer’s knowledge of the Issuer’s compliance with all conditions and covenants on their part contained in this Indenture and stating whether or not the signer knows of any Default or Event of Default. If such signer knows of such a Default or Event of Default, the Officer’s Certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default and the efforts to remedy the same. For the purposes of this Section 4.4, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.5 Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.6 Maintenance of Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate existence of the Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve the corporate existence of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) if (a) the Board of Directors or management of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes, (b) if a Subsidiary is to be dissolved or merged or consolidated in compliance with this Indenture or (c) such Subsidiary has no assets.

SECTION 4.7 [Reserved].

SECTION 4.8 Restricted Payments.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

SECTION 4.9 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur”), with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided, however, that the Issuer or any Note Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and any Subsidiary Guarantor may issue preferred stock if (x) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period or (y) the Total Leverage Ratio on the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been no higher than 6.5 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), giving effect to the incurrence of the additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock.

(b) Section 4.9(a) shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(i) the incurrence by the Issuer and the Note Guarantors of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (i) not to exceed $3,700.0 million less the aggregate principal amount of all principal repayments required to be made in respect of term loans under the Credit Agreement with the proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral;

(v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace, Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.9(a) hereof or clauses (ii), (iii) or (xi) of this Section 4.9(b) or this clause (v);

(vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(A) if the Issuer or a Note Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the obligee is not the Issuer or another Note Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated (without regard to security interest) to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes; and

(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that is not permitted by this clause (vi);

(vii) (i) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are incurred and not for speculative purposes and (ii) the incurrence by a Securitization Special Purpose Entity of Indebtedness in a Qualified Securitization Transaction that is without recourse to the Company or to any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or their assets (other than Standard Securitization Undertakings);

(viii) the Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred under this Section 4.9 (other than the Note Guarantees); provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes or any Note Guarantee, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed (without regard to security interest);

(ix) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.9; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued;

(x) obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds and completion guarantees or similar obligations provided by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in each case in the normal course of business (whether or not consistent with past practice);

(xx) the incurrence by the Issuer and the Note Guarantors of Drop Down Debt in an aggregate amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xx), not to exceed $1,600.0 million less the aggregate amount of any Incremental Debt originally incurred prior to such incurrence (whether or not such Incremental Debt remains outstanding at the time of such incurrence of Drop Down Debt); provided that, at the time of such incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Blended First Lien Net Leverage Ratio would be no greater than 4.25 to 1.00.

(c) None of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or having a junior lien priority.

(e) In connection with the entry into or increase of any commitment relating to the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness under this (including revolving credit Indebtedness) and the granting of any Lien to secure such Indebtedness, the Issuer may designate such incurrence and the granting of any Lien securing the same as having occurred on the date such commitment was entered into or increased (such date, the “Deemed Date”) and, if the incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness pursuant to such commitment and the granting of any Lien securing the same would be permitted under this Section 4.09 and Section 4.11, as applicable, as of such Deemed

Date in reliance on a financial ratio-based exception or basket, such committed amount may thereafter be incurred (and, in the case of commitments of a revolving nature, reborrowed) or issued, in whole or in part, from time to time, and such Liens may be granted without any further testing of such financial ratio or basket; provided that all calculations under this Indenture on and after the Deemed Date until the termination of such commitment shall be made on a pro forma basis to give effect to the deemed incurrence or issuance of the full amount of such commitment and the granting of any such Lien, as applicable.

(ii) this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents;

(iii) applicable law, rule, regulation or order, approval, license, permit or similar restriction, including under contracts with foreign governments or agencies thereof entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(viii) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(ix) Permitted Liens securing Indebtedness that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(x) customary provisions in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into with the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company or otherwise in the ordinary course of business;

(xi) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xiv) any agreement or instrument governing Indebtedness or preferred stock permitted to be incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof which encumbrances or restrictions (x) are not, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in this Indenture or (y) will not, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, affect the ability of the Issuer to make anticipated payments of principal, interest or premium on the Notes.

SECTION 4.13 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $100.0 million, unless:

(i) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person, as determined by the Issuer in good faith; and

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $500.0 million, such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b) The following items shall be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.13(a) hereof:

(i) any employment agreement or benefit or similar plan entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

(ii) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(iii) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(vi) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof and Permitted Investments;

(viii) transactions with a Permitted Joint Venture in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary holds or acquires an ownership interest (whether by way of Capital Stock or otherwise) so long as the terms of any such transactions, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than they are to other joint venture partners;

(ix) any agreement that grants registration and other customary rights in connection therewith or otherwise to the direct or indirect security holders of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and the performance of such agreements);

(x) transactions with Affiliates solely in their capacity as Holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, where such Affiliates receive the same consideration as non-Affiliates in such transactions;

(xii) transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a copy of a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing addressed to the Company stating that such transaction meets the requirements of Section 4.13(a)(i).

SECTION 4.14 Asset Sales.

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

(i) the Company (or its Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (determined, for purposes of this clause (i), by the Issuer or, in the case of any asset(s) valued in excess of $500.0 million, by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes and the Note Guarantees) (i) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability or (ii) that are discharged by the transferee in a transaction pursuant to which neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any liability following such Asset Sale;

(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 after the consummation of the applicable Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(C) any Designated Noncash Consideration having an aggregate Fair Market Value that, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration previously received and then outstanding, does not exceed at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) the greater of $500.0 million or 20.0% of LTM Consolidated Cash Flow; and

(D) future payments to be made in cash or Cash Equivalents owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in the form of licensing, royalty, earnout or Milestone Payment (or similar deferred cash payments).

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than the sale or other disposition of any Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral, which shall be subject to Section 3.16), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply an amount equal to those Net Proceeds:

(i) to repay (x) Indebtedness and other Obligations under the Credit Agreement and, if the Indebtedness repaid under the Credit Agreement is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, (y) Indebtedness and other Obligations under the Notes or any Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness (other than the Credit Agreement) and, if the Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness being repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto (provided that if such Net Proceeds are applied to repay such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness under this clause (y), the Company shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes in accordance with Section 3.7 hereof, through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases (in each case, provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof), or by making an offer (in accordance with Section 4.14(c)) to all Holders to purchase the pro rata principal amount of Notes, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the date of purchase) or (z) other Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, so long as the relevant assets were assets of such Subsidiary and such Indebtedness is not owed to or held by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary;

(ii) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business (provided that any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale of Collateral shall be used to acquire such assets or Voting Stock that constitute Collateral);

(iii) to make payments with respect to the acquisition or license of intellectual property rights that are used in a Permitted Business or the minority interest of any Permitted Business;

(iv) to make a capital expenditure in or that is useful in a Permitted Business;

(v) to retire Notes (x) pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof, (y) through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases (in each case, provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or (z) by making an offer to purchase Notes in accordance with Section 4.14(c) to all holders to purchase, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase; or

(vi) to acquire other assets (other than cash and Cash Equivalents) that are used or useful in a Permitted Business (provided that any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale of Collateral shall be used to acquire assets that constitute Collateral);

provided that (1) a binding commitment to apply any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (vi) of this Section 4.14(b) shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of the end of such 365-day period (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection

therewith, then the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to apply the Net Proceeds in any manner set forth above before the expiration of such 180-day period and, in the event the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary fails to do so, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds and (2) in the case any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale are applied pursuant to clauses (x) or (y) of Section 4.14(b)(i) or Section 4.14(b)(v) hereof, to the extent the assets subject to such Asset Sale constitute assets that secure only certain Series of Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness (but not all Series of Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness), such Net Proceeds shall only be applied to the repayment of the Series of Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness that were secured by such assets (but not to the repayment of any other Series of Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.14 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to apply any amount that would otherwise be required to be applied pursuant to this Section 4.14 to the extent that the Asset Sale (x) is consummated by any non-Canadian Foreign Subsidiary for so long as the Company determines in good faith that the repatriation to the Company of any such amount would be prohibited or delayed (beyond the time period during which such application is otherwise required to be made pursuant hereto) under any requirement of law or conflict with the fiduciary duties of such non-Canadian Foreign Subsidiary’s directors, or result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such non-Canadian Foreign Subsidiary (including on account of financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance or similar considerations); it being understood and agreed that (i) solely within 365 days following the event giving rise to the relevant Net Proceeds, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions required by applicable requirements of law to permit such repatriation and, to the extent applicable, would no longer conflict with the fiduciary duties of such director, or result in, or be reasonably expected to result in, a material risk of personal or criminal liability for the Persons described above, in either case, and (ii) if such repatriation is permitted or would no longer so conflict, within 365 days following the event giving rise to the relevant Net Proceeds, the relevant non-Canadian Foreign Subsidiary will promptly repatriate the relevant Net Proceeds, and the repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against such Net Proceeds, as a result thereof, in each case by the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries, and any Affiliates or indirect or direct equity owners of the foregoing) as required above, or (y) generates Net Proceeds that are received by any joint venture for so long as the Company determines in good faith that the distribution of such Net Proceeds would be prohibited under the organizational documents (or any relevant shareholders’ or similar agreement) governing such joint venture, it being understood that if the relevant prohibition ceases to exist within the 365-day period following the event giving rise to the relevant Net Proceeds, the relevant joint venture will promptly distribute the Net Proceeds, as the case may be, and the Net Proceeds, as the case may be, will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten Business Days after such distribution) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) as set forth above. In addition, if the Company determines in good faith that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) to the Company of any amounts required to be applied as set forth above would result in material and adverse tax consequences for the Company or any of its subsidiaries, Affiliates or indirect or direct equity owners, taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation (such amount, a “Restricted Amount”), as determined by the Company in good faith, the amount the Company shall be required to apply as

set forth above shall be reduced by the Restricted Amount; provided that to the extent that the repatriation (or other intercompany distribution) of any Net Proceeds from the relevant non-Canadian Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have a material and adverse tax consequence within the 365-day period following the event giving rise to the Net Proceeds, an amount equal to the Net Proceeds not previously applied pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be so applied.

Pending application of an amount equal to Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.14, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.14(b) hereof shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Within five (5) Business Days of the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of (i) $100.0 million and (ii) 4.0% of LTM Consolidated Cash Flow, the Company shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Section 4.14 to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the amount of such Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes (or, in the case of any Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, the repayment, offer or redemption price due under the agreements governing such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness) plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use the amount of such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company shall select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. No Note of $200,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

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

SECTION 4.15 Additional Note Guarantees. If any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Note Guarantor becomes a borrower, issuer or other obligor under, or provides a Guarantee of, any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Note Guarantor under any syndicated Credit Facility or Capital Markets Indebtedness, then such Restricted Subsidiary shall promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and a notation of Note Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or, in the case that such Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is a Canadian Note Guarantor, a Canadian Note Guarantee, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally Guarantee, on a senior secured basis, all of the Issuer’s obligations under the

Notes and this Indenture on the terms set forth in this Indenture and, if applicable, the Canadian Note Guarantee, and (ii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture and notation of Note Guarantee or, if applicable, Canadian Note Guarantee, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that no Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to Guarantee the Notes if any such Note Guarantee would be illegal or unenforceable under relevant law (after taking into account the limitations set forth in the next succeeding paragraph), as determined in good faith by the Issuer. Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Note Guarantor for all purposes under this Indenture and the Notes until such Note Guarantee is released in accordance herewith.

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

SECTION 4.16 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company’s Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than BHA, 153 NumberCo, the Issuer or any other Subsidiary of 153 NumberCo) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. Any designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (including as a result of being named in the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”) will be deemed to be a designation of each of such entity’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Following the Issue Date, if a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments (calculated after giving effect to such designation and any concurrent transactions) owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.8 hereof or under one or more of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Issuer. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Company’s Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default; provided that such redesignation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness and, if applicable, an incurrence of any related Liens by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness and, if applicable, any related Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such redesignation will only be permitted if such Indebtedness and, if applicable, such related Liens are permitted under Section 4.9 hereof and, if applicable, Section 4.11 hereof (other than clauses (3) and (4) under the definition of “Permitted Liens”), calculated, if applicable, on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period.

(b) Any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and any redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company as Restricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the board resolution giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted under this Indenture. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements set forth in the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture, and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date, and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.9 hereof, the Company will be in default of such covenant.

(c) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, (i) the Company’s Board of Directors shall not designate any Subsidiary of the Company that owns, or holds an exclusive license to, any Material Intellectual Property or any Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (ii) the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of (including pursuant to an Investment) any Material Intellectual Property that is owned by, or exclusively licensed to, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral to any Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit a transfer of Material Intellectual Property in the form of a non-exclusive license in the ordinary course of business.

SECTION 4.17 Business and Other Activities.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) The Issuer shall not engage in any business or operations other than (i) the issuance of the Notes and the performance of the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture, (ii) the borrowing of the loans and requesting the issuance of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and the performance of the obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement, (iii) the incurrence of any Incremental Debt and any Drop Down Debt (provided that the Issuer shall not directly hold any Drop Down Assets or Other Drop Down Assets) and the performance of the obligations of the Issuer as required by the definitive documentation in respect thereof, (iv) the lending of the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and funds borrowed under the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date to the Company pursuant to the Issue Date Intercompany Loan, (v) the lending of the proceeds of any Incremental Debt to the Company pursuant to an Incremental Debt Intercompany Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to the initial principal amount of the Incremental Debt, (vi) the ownership of the Capital Stock of Bausch + Lomb, (vii) the granting of any Permitted Liens under this Indenture, (viii) holding cash and Cash Equivalents and distributions of cash and Cash Equivalents to Note Guarantors, including the Company, in accordance with this Indenture, (ix) actions required by law to maintain its existence, (x) the payment of operating and business expenses and taxes incidental to its ownership of Capital Stock of Bausch + Lomb, (xi) the performance of obligations under and compliance with its certificate of incorporation and by-laws or similar documents, or any applicable law, ordinance, regulation, rule, order, judgment, decree or permit,

including, without limitation, as a result of or in connection with the activities of the Issuer, and (xii) activities incidental to the foregoing. The Issuer will not have any assets other than cash and Cash Equivalents, its claims under the Intercompany Loan Agreement and Capital Stock of Bausch + Lomb, will not have any direct Subsidiaries other than Bausch + Lomb, and will not have any Indebtedness other than its Obligations in respect of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, Incremental Debt or Drop Down Debt. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer will not (i) sell or otherwise transfer any Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral other than to one or more Persons that are not Affiliates and for cash consideration (provided that the Issuer may effect a Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral Repurchase) or (ii) pay any dividends or make any other distributions or payments or other transfers to the Company or any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries out of funds received in the form of any dividends or other distributions received with respect to, or any proceeds from sales of, any Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral.

(c) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, take any action that would cause the Issuer, 153 NumberCo or the Subsidiary Guarantors that are Subsidiaries of 153 NumberCo to no longer constitute non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries under any Existing Indebtedness.

(d) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) amend or otherwise modify the terms of the Intercompany Loan Agreement (or any other documentation governing any Intercompany Loan) if the effect of such amendment or modification, taken as a whole together with all other amendments or modifications made, is materially adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes; provided that any (1) assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations with respect to any Intercompany Loan by the Company or the Issuer to any other Person, (2) reduction or forgiveness of the principal amount of any Intercompany Loan, (3) reduction of the interest rate applicable to any Intercompany Loan, (4) extension of any interest payment date in respect of any Intercompany Loan beyond any grace periods set forth therein and (5) amendment to the call protection of any Intercompany Loan, in each case, shall be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes; provided further that no amendment to the Intercompany Loan Agreement to (x) increase the principal amount thereof in connection with an intercompany loan made with the net proceeds (or in the initial principal amount) of any Incremental Debt or (y) reduce the interest rate on any tranche of the Intercompany Loan to align with a repricing of the initial related Indebtedness shall, in either case, be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes, or (ii) accelerate any of the loans provided for under the Intercompany Loan Agreement.

(f) If any Drop Down Debt is incurred, none of 153 NumberCo or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall sell, convey, transfer, exclusively license or exclusively sublicense or otherwise dispose (including by way of an Investment) any Drop Down Assets or Other Drop Down Assets (in each case, other than transfers of cash or Cash Equivalents otherwise in accordance with this Indenture) to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries other than 153 NumberCo or a Restricted Subsidiary of 153 NumberCo.

SECTION 4.18 [Reserved].

SECTION 4.19 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenant that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SECTION 4.20 Notice of Default. In the event that any Default or Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof shall occur, the Issuer shall give prompt written notice of such Default or Event of Default to the Trustee, after it becomes aware of the same.

SECTION 4.21 Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer under or with respect to the Notes, or by or on behalf of any Note Guarantor under or with respect to any Note Guarantee (each such Person, a “Payor”) will be made free and clear of any withholding or deduction for or on account of any tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge of whatever nature (collectively, “Tax”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction in which such Payor is organized, resident or carrying on business for tax purposes or from or through which such Payor makes any payment on the Notes or its Note Guarantee or any department or political subdivision of any of the foregoing (each, a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Payor (or an applicable withholding agent) is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law. If the Payor (or an applicable withholding agent) is required by law to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to any Notes or Note Guarantee, the Payor, subject to the exceptions listed below, will pay additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by each Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Notes after such withholding or deduction (including withholding or deduction attributable to Additional Amounts payable hereunder) will not be less than the amount the Holder or Beneficial Owner would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be so withheld or deducted.

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

Holder or Beneficial Owner is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than any connection resulting solely from the acquisition, ownership, holding or disposition of Notes, the receipt of payments thereunder or under any Note Guarantee and/or the exercise or enforcement of rights under any Notes or any Note Guarantee);

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

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

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

(v) to the extent the Taxes giving rise to such Additional Amounts would not have been imposed but for the Holder or Beneficial Owner (x) not dealing at arm’s length, within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), with such Payor, or (y) being a person who is a “specified entity” (as defined in proposed subsection 18.4(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) contained in proposals to amend such Act released on April 29, 2022) in respect of such Payor to the extent that the applicable payment would be subject to withholding tax under such Act as a consequence of such proposals;

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

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

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

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

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

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

(e) Prior to the date on which the payment of any Additional Amounts are due, the Payor will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable on the applicable payment date, and setting forth the amounts so payable, and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee (or applicable paying agent) to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Any such Officer’s Certificate

will be delivered at least two Business Days in advance of when the payments in question are required to be made (unless a shorter period of time is acceptable to the Trustee in its reasonable discretion). The Payor will promptly publish a notice in accordance with Section 11.2 hereof stating that such Additional Amounts will be payable and describing the obligation to pay such amounts.

(f) The Payors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Holders or Beneficial Owners of Notes, upon written request of such Holder or Beneficial Owner of Notes and certified proof of payment for the amount of (i) any Taxes levied or imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and payable by such Holder or Beneficial Owner in connection with payments made under or with respect to the Notes or any Note Guarantee; and (ii) any Taxes levied or imposed with respect to any reimbursement under the foregoing clause (i) or this clause (ii), so that the net amount received by such Holder or Beneficial Owner after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount such Holder or Beneficial Owner would have received if the Taxes giving rise to the reimbursement described in clauses (i) and/or (ii) had not been imposed; provided, however, that the indemnification obligation provided for in this Section 4.21(f) shall not extend to Taxes imposed for which the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the Notes would not have been eligible to receive payment of Additional Amounts hereunder by virtue of clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 4.21(b) hereof, or to the extent such Holder or Beneficial Owner received Additional Amounts with respect to such payments.

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

(h) The obligations described under this Section 4.21 will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any successor Person, to any Payor and to any jurisdiction in which such successor is organized, carrying on business or is otherwise resident for Tax purposes or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by such successor or its respective agents.

(i) Whenever this Indenture refers to, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Note or under any Note Guarantee, such reference includes the payment of Additional Amounts or other payments that would be payable pursuant to this Section 4.21, if applicable.

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

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

101

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

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

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

SECTION 4.23 Additional Material Real Estate Assets. In the event that the Issuer or any Note Guarantor acquires a Material Real Estate Asset or a Real Estate Asset owned or leased on the Issue Date becomes a Material Real Estate Asset and such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in favor of any Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Notes Secured Parties, then the Issuer or such Note Guarantor shall, subject to the Applicable Collateral Limitations, promptly take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such mortgages, documents, instruments and agreements necessary to make such Lien a valid and perfected first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such Material Real Estate Asset and deliver such Opinions of Counsel and certificates as are customary in such jurisdictions.

SECTION 4.24 No Impairment of the Security Interests. Except as otherwise permitted under this Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted by this Indenture), the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, none of the Issuer nor any of the Note Guarantors shall be permitted to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties.

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates the greater of (i) $250.0 million and (ii) 10.0% of Consolidated Cash Flows or more;

(f) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of the greater of (i) $250.0 million and (ii) 10.0% of Consolidated Cash Flows, which judgments are not paid, discharged, stayed or subject to insurance for a period of 60 days after becoming final;

(g) the Note Guarantee of the Company or any Note Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, when taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (in each case, as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company) ceases to be in full force and effect in all material respects (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company denies or disaffirms the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture or any Note Guarantee;

(h) unless such Liens have been released in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, Liens with respect to a substantial portion of the Collateral cease to be valid or enforceable, or the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that Liens with respect to a substantial portion of the Collateral are invalid or unenforceable and the Company or such Note Guarantor fails to rescind such assertions within 10 days;

(i) the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (in each case, as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company), pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

106

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

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

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

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (in each case, as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company) or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (in each case, as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company); or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (in each case, as of the latest audited financial statements of the Company);

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

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

SECTION 6.2 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.1 hereof with respect to the Company or the Issuer) with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, declare all unpaid principal (including, without limitation, any premium then outstanding and any premium set forth in the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 6.2), and accrued interest, if any, to the date of acceleration on the Notes then outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be due and payable upon any such declaration, and

107

the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.1 hereof with respect to the Company or the Issuer occurs, all unpaid principal (including, without limitation, any premium then outstanding and any premium set forth in the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 6.2), and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if (a) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Notes which has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (c) all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof in respect of the Notes have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.1 (including the acceleration of any portion of the Obligations evidenced by the Notes by operation of law)), then the additional amount that shall then be due and payable shall be equal to: (a) (i) one hundred percent (100.00%) of the principal amount of such Notes, plus the Applicable Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration or (ii) the applicable redemption price in effect on the date of such acceleration (as set forth in Section 3.7(b)), as applicable (the “Redemption Price”), plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of such acceleration, in each case, as if such acceleration gave rise to an optional redemption of the Notes so accelerated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to, an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.1 above (including the acceleration of any portion of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes by operation of law)), the amount by which the Applicable Premium or the applicable Redemption Price exceeds the principal amount of the Notes (the “Redemption Price Premium”), as applicable, with respect to an optional redemption of the Notes shall be due and payable as though the Notes had been optionally redeemed on the date of such acceleration and shall constitute part of the Obligations with respect to the Notes in view of the impracticability and difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of lost profits of each of the Holders of such Notes as a result thereof. If the Applicable Premium or the Redemption Price Premium, as applicable, becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of the Notes, and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Notes (including the Applicable Premium or the Redemption Price Premium, as applicable) from and after the applicable triggering event, including in connection with an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.1 above. Any premium payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be presumed to be liquidated damages sustained by each Holder as the result of the acceleration of the Notes, and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The premium shall also be payable in the event the Notes or this Indenture are satisfied, released

108

or discharged through foreclosure, whether by judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. EACH OF THE ISSUER, THE COMPANY AND EACH OTHER NOTE GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the Issuer, the Company and each other Note Guarantor expressly agrees (to the fullest extent they may lawfully do so) that: (A) the premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business entities ably represented by counsel; (B) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the holders and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the premium; and (D) the Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Issuer expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the premium to the holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to purchase the Notes.

The Company shall determine the Applicable Premium, the Redemption Price and the Redemption Price Premium.

Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (other than any Holder that is a Regulated Bank) (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to the Issuer and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that, to such Holder’s knowledge, such Holder is being instructed solely by Beneficial Owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the Beneficial Owner of such Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee, and such Holder shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering any direction to the Trustee. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to the acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder providing such Noteholder Direction was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee evidence that the Issuer has filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its

109

Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation (as confirmed by a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction) shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of the Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank; provided that if a Regulated Bank is a Directing Holder or a Beneficial Owner directing DTC, it shall provide a written representation to the Issuer that it is a Regulated Bank.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely without liability on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise and shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action or staying any remedy. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction or taking no action in good faith with respect thereto, or for determining whether any Holder has delivered a Position Representation, such Position Representation conforms with the requirements of this Indenture or any other agreement or any Holder is a Regulated Bank.

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

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

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

110

SECTION 6.5 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy or power available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines, in consultation with its counsel conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder of Notes or the Trustee, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

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

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

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

(c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable 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 of indemnity; and

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

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

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

111

SECTION 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (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 Issuer (or any other obligor on the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof, and to the extent that such payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other property which the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or, on behalf of any Holder, to authorize, accept or adopt any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, including upon realization of the Collateral, but subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First, to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7 hereof;

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

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

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

SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit made by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

112

SECTION 7.3 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

SECTION 7.6 [Reserved].

115

SECTION 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation (as agreed to from time to time by the Issuer and the Trustee in writing) for its services (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust). The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it. Such expenses may include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

Each of the Issuer and each Note Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture or any action or failure to act as authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon the Trustee hereunder or thereunder including the reasonable costs and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel in defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or thereunder.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a senior claim to that of the Notes and to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except such money or property held in trust to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

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

SECTION 7.8 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

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

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

116

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

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

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

A retiring Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Trustee after its succession.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.9 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets (including the administration of this Indenture) to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, without any further act, shall be the successor Trustee; provided such transferee corporation shall qualify and be eligible under Section 7.10 hereof. Such successor Trustee shall promptly mail notice of its succession to the Issuer and each affected Holder.

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall always satisfy the requirements of paragraphs (1), (2) and (5) of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee (or its parent holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to satisfy any such requirements, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article 7. The Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(b) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (based on a ruling received from or published by the United States Internal Revenue Service or a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law since the date of this Indenture) in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that the Beneficial Owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

120

(f) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance have been complied with.

After any such irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations in the first paragraph of this Section 8.2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 8.2(b) hereof with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) shall become due and payable upon maturity or redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer.

(b) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that the Beneficial Owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(c) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee either (i) an Opinion of Counsel in Canada reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, to the effect that, based upon Canadian, provincial or territorial law, as applicable, then in effect and having regard to any applicable proposed amendments thereto which have been publicly announced prior to the date of such defeasance, the Beneficial Owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for

121

Canadian federal, provincial or territorial or other tax purposes, as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Canadian taxes on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred or (ii) a ruling directed to the Trustee received from tax authorities of Canada (including any province or territory thereof) to the same effect as the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (i) above;

(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 borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

(e) the Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; and

(f) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, then the obligations of the Issuer and the Note Guarantors under this Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 8.3(b) hereof with respect to a Covenant Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) shall become due and payable upon maturity or redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer.

SECTION 8.4 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.5 hereof, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, all money deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 hereof and shall apply the deposited money in accordance with this Indenture and the Notes to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes.

SECTION 8.5 Repayment to the Issuer. The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request any excess money (i) deposited with them pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 hereof and (ii) held by them at any time.

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after a right to such money has matured; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be mailed to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

122

SECTION 8.6 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 8.5 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof; provided, however, that if the Issuer has made any payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive any such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 9.1 Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agents (as applicable) may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreements or the other Collateral Documents with respect to the Notes without notice to or consent of any Holder of Notes:

(d) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder of Notes;

(e) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(f) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Collateral Documents to any provision of the section of the Offering Memorandum captioned “Description of the Notes”;

In addition, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agents may (i) amend either Intercreditor Agreement and the other Collateral Documents to provide for the addition of any creditors or obligations to such agreements to the extent a first priority lien or junior priority lien, as applicable, for the benefit of such creditor is permitted by the terms of this Indenture and (ii) may enter into an intercreditor agreement with creditors for whom a junior lien on the Collateral is to be granted; provided the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the applicable Notes Collateral Agents certifying that the terms thereof are customary and that the Trustee and such Notes Collateral Agents are authorized to enter into an intercreditor agreement. Upon delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agents may request an Opinion of Counsel stating that they are authorized to enter into an intercreditor agreement.

SECTION 9.2 With Consent of Holders. Except as set forth in this Section 9.2, the Company, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agents (as applicable) may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Collateral Documents with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Except as set forth in this Section 9.2, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture, such Notes, such Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Collateral Documents without notice to any Holder (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 9.4 hereof, without the written consent of each Holder of Notes affected thereby, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any such Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, provisions relating to Sections 3.8, 3.14, 3.15 and 4.14 hereof);

124

(d) make any such Note payable in money other than U.S. dollars;

(e) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of such Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes;

(f) waive a redemption payment with respect to any such Note (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a payment required by Sections 3.8, 3.14, 3.15 and 4.14 hereof);

(g) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Notes;

(h) modify the Note Guarantees with respect to such Notes in any manner adverse to the Holders of such Notes; or

(i) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions with respect to the Notes;

provided that the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall be required.

In addition, except as set forth in Section 10.5 hereof, without the consent of Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes), (i) no amendment or supplement may release all or substantially all of the value of the Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes, (ii) no amendment or supplement may modify any Collateral Document or Intercreditor Agreement or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Collateral Documents to the extent that such amendment or supplement would have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents) and (iii) no amendment or supplement may modify or change any provision that adversely affects the ranking as to right of payment, Lien priority or payment priority of any Note.

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

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

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

125

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a) through (i) of Section 9.2 hereof. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.

SECTION 9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

SECTION 9.6 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, but need not sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with and, subject to Section 7.1 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate stating that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and all conditions precedent in this Indenture to such execution have been complied with. The Issuer may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until its Board of Directors or other applicable governing body approves it in writing.

SECTION 9.7 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 9, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

SECTION 10.1 Note Guarantees.

(a) Each of the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally Guarantees (and subject in each case to the Agreed Guarantee Principles set forth in any notation of Note Guarantee, supplemental indenture, or as contemplated by Section 4.15 hereof) to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder that: (i) the due and punctual payment of principal of, premium and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether

126

at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, (ii) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or any Note shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and (iii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Note Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Note Guarantor shall agree that this is a Guarantee of payment and not a Guarantee of collection.

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

127

agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the obligations under the Note Guarantees or any agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit to the Issuer and any right to consent to any thereof; (vii) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of any “One Action” rule; and (viii) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Note Guarantees. Except as set forth in Section 10.5 hereof, each Note Guarantor covenants that its Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in its Note Guarantee and this Indenture.

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

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

SECTION 10.2 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantees. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, each Note Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (as modified to reflect Agreed Guarantee Principles to the extent contemplated by Section 4.15 hereof) or, in the case of a Note Guarantor organized under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof, a Canadian Note Guarantee, shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Note Guarantor, which notation shall be applicable to each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Note Guarantor by any of its Officers. Each of the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.1 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse a notation of such Note Guarantee. If an officer or Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee of a Note Guarantor no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates a Note, the Note Guarantee of such Note Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantees set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Note Guarantors, regardless of whether a notation of a Note Guarantee by any Note Guarantor appears on such Note.

128

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

SECTION 10.4 Merger and Consolidation of Note Guarantors.

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

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

SECTION 10.5 Release.

(a) (i) In the case of a Note Guarantee issued by a Subsidiary Guarantor, in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor then held by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in each case so long as such sale or other disposition is permitted by this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.14 hereof, (ii) in the case of a Note Guarantee issued by a Subsidiary Guarantor, if such Subsidiary Guarantor is

129

designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or otherwise ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.14 hereof, upon effectiveness of such designation or when it first ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, respectively, (iii) in the case of a Note Guarantee issued by a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Issue Date (or required but issued thereafter pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof), upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Credit Agreement, and, in any other case, upon the release or discharge of all of its obligations as borrower, issuer or guarantor in respect of other Indebtedness that resulted in the issuance after the Issue Date of the Note Guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor if such Subsidiary Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to Guarantee the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, except a release or discharge by or as a result of payment under the Credit Agreement or such other Indebtedness; provided that, in the case of the release or discharge of such Guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Credit Agreement, any release or series of releases that would have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the value of the Note Guarantees with respect to the Notes will require the prior consent of holders of at least 66 2/3% in outstanding principal amount of Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes); or (iv) in the case of a Note Guarantee issued by any Note Guarantor, if the Issuer discharges the Notes and its Obligations under this Indenture under Section 8.1 hereof or exercises its legal or covenant defeasance options under Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, respectively, with respect to the Notes, then in each such case set forth in clauses (i) through (iv), such Note Guarantor shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee without any further action being required by the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Sections 4.8 and 4.14 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Note Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(c) Any Note Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Note Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication to a Holder is mailed in the manner provided above, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”), given pursuant to this Indenture and related documents and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Issuer whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Issuer understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Issuer shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Issuer and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from their reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Issuer; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: e-mail, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Trustee, or another method or system specified by the Trustee as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

(D) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with;

provided, however, that with respect to matters of fact an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate or certificates of public officials.

133

SECTION 11.5 Record Date for Vote or Consent of Holders. The Issuer (or, in the event deposits have been made pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, the Trustee) may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture, which record date shall not be more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the commencement of solicitation of such action. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, if a record date is fixed, those persons who were Holders of Notes at the close of business on such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to take such action with respect to the Notes by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders of Notes after such record date.

SECTION 11.6 Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules (not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture) for action by or at a meeting of Holders. Any Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for its functions.

If a payment date, including any Redemption Date, Purchase Date, Change of Control Purchase Date, Asset Sale Purchase Date, Intercompany Loan Excess Cash Purchase Date and Final Maturity Date, is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period on such payment. If an interest record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected.

SECTION 11.8 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Unless specifically noted herein, this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The Issuer and each Note Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Without prejudice to the foregoing, exclusively for purposes of the submission to jurisdiction by the Mexican Note Guarantor, and in relation to actions brought against the Mexican Note Guarantor, each of the parties hereto submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and each party waives the right to any other jurisdiction to which it may be entitled by reason of present or future domicile or place of residence or for any other reason.

(c) ALL PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

134

SECTION 11.12 Multiple Counterparts; Execution. The parties may sign multiple counterparts of this Indenture. Each signed counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Indenture or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Indenture shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

SECTION 11.13 Separability. In case any provisions in this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.15 Calculations in Respect of the Notes.

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

135

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including in connection with any calculation made on a pro forma basis), if the terms of this Indenture require (1) compliance with any financial ratio or financial test (including, without limitation, any Total Leverage Ratio test and/or any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Cash Flow, (2) the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of default or event of default) or (3) compliance with any basket or other condition, as a condition to (a) the consummation of any transaction (including in connection with any acquisition or similar Investment or the assumption or incurrence of Indebtedness), and/or (b) the making of any Restricted Payment, the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the election of the Issuer, (i) in the case of any acquisition or similar Investment or any Asset Sale and any transaction related thereto, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended four quarter period available at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition, Investment or Asset Sale (or, solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 Announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer) or (y) the consummation of such acquisition, Investment or Asset Sale or (ii) in the case of any Restricted Payment, at the time of (or on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended four quarter period available at the time of) (x) the declaration of such Restricted Payment or (y) the making of such Restricted Payment, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant acquisition or similar Investment and/or Restricted Payment or other transaction on a pro forma basis (including, in each case, giving effect to the relevant transaction, any relevant Indebtedness (including the intended use of proceeds thereof) and, at the election of the Issuer, giving pro forma effect to other prospective “limited conditionality” acquisitions or similar Investments for which definitive agreements have been executed), and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of an adverse change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such election is made (but any subsequent improvement in the applicable financial ratio or test may be utilized by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has elected the option set forth in this paragraph in respect of any transaction, then the Company or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall be permitted to consummate such transaction even if any applicable test or condition shall cease to be satisfied subsequent to the Issuer’s election of such option.

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

136

SECTION 11.16 Agent for Service and Waiver of Immunities. By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer and each Note Guarantor that is domiciled outside the United States does, and with respect to any entity that becomes a Note Guarantor after the date hereof and is domiciled outside the United States, within 10 days of becoming a Note Guarantor, as applicable, will (i) designate and appoint Bausch Health US, LLC, 400 Somerset Corporate Boulevard, Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807, or another Person satisfactory to the Trustee (the “Authorized Agent”), as their authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes that may be instituted in any federal or state court in the State of New York or brought under federal or state securities laws, and acknowledge that the Authorized Agent has accepted such designation, (ii) submit to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit or proceeding, and (iii) agree that service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of said service to the Issuer or the Note Guarantor that is domiciled outside of the United States, as applicable, in accordance with Section 11.2 hereof shall be deemed effective service of process in any such suit or proceeding. The Issuer and each Note Guarantor that is domiciled outside of the United States further agrees to take any reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of the Authorized Agent in full force and effect so long as any of the Notes shall be outstanding; provided, however, that the Issuer and each Note Guarantor that is domiciled outside of the United States, as applicable, may, by written notice to the Trustee, designate such additional or alternative agent for service of process under this Section 11.16 that (i) maintains an office located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in the State of New York, (ii) is either (x) counsel for the Issuer or such Note Guarantor, as applicable or (y) a corporate service company which acts as agent for service of process for other persons in the ordinary course of its business and (iii) agrees to act as agent for service of process in accordance with this Section 11.16. Such written notice shall identify the name of such agent for process and the address of the office of such agent for process in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York. Upon the written request of any Holder, the Trustee shall deliver a copy of such notice to such Holder.

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

137

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

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

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

SECTION 11.21 Tax Matters. Each of the parties hereto agree to cooperate and to provide the other with such information as each may have in its possession to enable the determination of whether any payments pursuant to this Indenture are subject to the withholding requirements described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations, or agreements thereunder or

138

official interpretations thereof (“Applicable Law”). The Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as obligating the Trustee to make any “gross up” payment or similar reimbursement in connection with a payment in respect of which amounts are so withheld or deducted or affecting a Payor’s obligation to make any payments of Additional Amount pursuant to Section 4.21 of this Indenture. The terms of this Section 11.21 shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

Subject to the Applicable Collateral Limitations, the Company shall, and shall cause the Subsidiaries of the Company to, take any and all actions and make all filings (including the filing of UCC or PPSA financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto (or analogous procedures under the applicable laws in the relevant Covered Jurisdiction)) required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Issuer and the Note Guarantors to the Notes Secured Parties under the Notes Documents, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents), in favor of the Notes Collateral Agents for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

(b) To the extent any assets owned by the Issuer or any Note Guarantor on the Issue Date (other than Excluded Assets) are not subject to a valid Lien in favor of a Notes Collateral Agent on or prior to the Issue Date or subject to a Lien in favor of a Notes Collateral Agent that is not perfected on or prior to the Issue Date, the Issuer and the Note Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into Collateral Documents to create such Liens (including all Collateral Documents governed by the laws of each Covered Jurisdiction, except where pursuant to laws governing such assets or local practice applicable to such assets, such assets that were pledged to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent are not capable of being pledged to a Notes Collateral Agent at the same time) and have all such Liens and any Liens created but not perfected (including by appropriate filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office) on or prior to the Issue Date perfected, subject to any limitations set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, including the Applicable Collateral Limitations, within 150 days after the Issue Date (or such later date as the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement may agree); provided that, (i) control (within the meaning of the Securities Transfer Act (British Columbia)) of the Bausch + Lomb Share Collateral will be required to be granted in favor of the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreements within 15 days of the Issue Date and (ii) with respect to Collateral consisting of United States patent and trademark registrations and applications, intellectual property security agreements shall be filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office within 90 days of the Issue Date and, with respect to Collateral consisting of United States copyright registrations and exclusive licenses of United States copyright registrations, filings in the United States Copyright Office shall be made within 30 days of the Issue Date.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the provisions of this Article 12 are qualified in their entirety by the Applicable Collateral Limitations, and neither the Issuer nor any Note Guarantor shall be required pursuant to this Indenture or any Collateral Document to take any action limited by the Applicable Collateral Limitations.

SECTION 12.2 Release of Collateral.

(a) The Liens securing the Notes will be automatically released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time and from time to time as provided by this Section 12.2. Upon such release, subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, all rights in the released Collateral securing Obligations under the Notes Documents shall revert to the Issuer and the Note Guarantors, as applicable. The Collateral shall be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents and the Trustee (subject to its receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as provided below) shall execute documents evidencing such release, and confirm to the applicable Notes Collateral Agent to execute, as applicable, the same at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, under one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) in whole upon:

140

(A) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on, the Notes and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Documents (for the avoidance of doubt, other than contingent Obligations in respect of which no claims have been made) that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid;

(B) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes as set forth under Section 8.1; or

(C) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of this Indenture with respect to the Notes as set forth under Sections 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as applicable;

(ii) in whole or in part, with the consent of Holders of the Notes in accordance with Article 9 of this Indenture;

(iii) in part, as to any asset:

(A) (I) constituting Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or any of the Note Guarantors to any Person that is not the Issuer or any of the Note Guarantors in a transaction permitted by this Indenture (to the extent of the interest sold or disposed of), or

(II) constituting Shared Collateral, in accordance with the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements,

(B) that is held by a Subsidiary Guarantor that ceases to be a Note Guarantor in accordance with this Indenture,

(C) that becomes an Excluded Asset, including so long as the Credit Agreement is outstanding, any asset that is not pledged to secure obligations arising in respect of the Credit Agreement (whether pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement (and any related documents) or as a result of any determination made thereunder, or by amendment, waiver or otherwise), or

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

provided that, (i) in the case of clause (iii)(A)(II), the proceeds of such Shared Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements and (ii) in the case of clause (iii)(C), (x) any release or series of releases as a result of any amendment, waiver or other similar action under the terms of the Credit Agreement (and any related documents) that would have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees (except as in accordance with, and as expressly provided for by the terms of, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents) will require the prior consent of Holders of at least 66 2/3% in outstanding principal amount of Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer

141

for, such Notes) and (y) any release or series of releases as a result of any amendment, waiver or other similar action under the terms of the Credit Agreement (and any related documents) that would have the effect of releasing a substantial portion of the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees (except as in accordance with, and as expressly provided for by the terms of, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents) will require the prior consent of Holders of at least a majority in outstanding principal amount of Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes).

(b) With respect to any release of Collateral or release from the Liens securing the Notes, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or a Notes Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Issuer in connection with such release, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the Issuer, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the applicable Notes Collateral Agent to, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Issuer’s expense) such instruments or releases (whether electronically or in writing) to evidence, and shall do or cause to be done all other acts reasonably necessary to effect, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable, the release, without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind, and discharge of any Collateral or any Notes permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements. Neither the Trustee nor any Notes Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Collateral Document or in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements to the contrary, but without limiting any automatic release provided hereunder or under any Collateral Document, the Trustee and each Notes Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

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

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

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

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

142

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

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

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

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

143

SECTION 12.8 Notes Collateral Agents.

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

(b) Each Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates, (a “Related Person”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. No Notes Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith.

144

(c) No Notes Collateral Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, or any other Notes Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the applicable Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Notes Collateral Agent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.

(d) Each Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled (in the absence of bad faith) to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Grantor), independent accountants and/or other experts and advisors selected by such Notes Collateral Agent. No Notes Collateral Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. Unless otherwise expressly required hereunder or pursuant to any Collateral Document, each Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements unless it shall first receive such written advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected from claims by any Holders in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e) No Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Trust Officer of such Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Such Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.8).

145

(f) Each Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If any Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of such Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) such Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agents” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as a Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.8 (and Section 7.7) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(g) The Issuer and each of the Holders by its acceptance of the Notes, and each Beneficial Owner of an interest in a Note, hereby authorizes (i) the Trustee and each Notes Collateral Agent, respectively, to appoint co-Notes Collateral Agents, sub-agents and other additional Notes Collateral Agents (and, in each case, appointment of such person shall be reflected in documentation, which the Trustee and each Notes Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to enter into) and (ii) TMF to perform its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder and in connection with the Collateral by or through the TMF Sub-Agents acting under the applicable Collateral Documents. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, no Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. Each Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither any Notes Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

146

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

(i) [Reserved].

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

(k) No Notes Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that such Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agents pursuant to this Indenture, any Collateral Document or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, no Notes Collateral Agent shall have any other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder or any other Notes Collateral Agent as to any of the foregoing.

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

147

(m) [reserved].

(n) No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Collateral Document shall require any Notes Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of a Notes Collateral Agent) unless it shall have first received indemnity satisfactory to the applicable Notes Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by such Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Collateral Documents, in the event any Notes Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, such Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if such Notes Collateral Agent has determined that such Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless such Notes Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to such Notes Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting such Notes Collateral Agent from all such liability. Each Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this paragraph (n) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

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

(p) No Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither any Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

148

(q) No Notes Collateral Agent assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents. No Notes Collateral Agent shall be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Notes Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Collateral Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreements and any Collateral Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents. No Notes Collateral Agent shall have any obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Credit Agreement or the Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Collateral Documents. No Notes Collateral Agent shall be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting its obligations as expressly set forth herein, each Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Notes Documents.

(r) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Notes Collateral Agents shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, a Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of such Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by such Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. However, if the Notes Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset pursuant to this Indenture which in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion may cause the Notes Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any equivalent federal, state or local law, the Notes Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Notes Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the

149

asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither any Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuer, the Note Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of a Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary, in connection with an exercise of remedies, for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including any Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuer or the Note Guarantors, a majority in interest of Holders shall direct the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.

(s) Upon the receipt by the applicable Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral Document to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel shall (i) state that it is being delivered to such Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12.8(s), and (ii) instruct such Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document. Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to such Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent (if any) to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct each Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.

(t) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that each Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements or a joinder thereto, as applicable, and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto (including any releases permitted hereunder), and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agents shall not be required to exercise discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Collateral Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or in any Collateral Document.

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

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

150

(w) Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, in each case that a Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Notes Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Notes Document, the Notes Collateral Agents may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Each Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, if a Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, such Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until such Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and such Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

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

(y) Before a Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer, the Note Guarantors, or the Trustee, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 11.4 hereof. Each Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(z) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Notes Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and/or the Trustee solely with respect to the Collateral Documents and the Collateral.

(aa) The Issuer shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and indemnify each Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.7 hereof. Accordingly, the reference to the “Trustee” in Section 6.10, Section 7.7 and Section 7.8 hereof shall be deemed to include the reference to the Notes Collateral Agents and Section 7.7 of this Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Notes Collateral Agents in their capacity as such, provided that for the purposes of this Section 12.8(aa), any reference to the negligence of the Trustee in 7.7 shall be deemed to be references to the gross negligence of the Notes Collateral Agents.

151

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

(cc) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither any Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Any Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Notes Collateral Agent in good faith.

(dd) Neither any Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Notes Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the applicable Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

ARTICLE 13

PARALLEL DEBT

SECTION 13.1 Purpose; Governing Law. This Article 13 is included in this Indenture solely for the purpose of ensuring the validity and effect of certain security rights governed by the laws of the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland, granted pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not limit the rights and remedies provided to the Notes Secured Parties by the other provisions hereof and of any of the other Notes Documents. Moreover, the provisions of Section 13.3 hereof shall be governed by the laws of Hungary.

SECTION 13.2 Parallel Debt (The Netherlands and Poland).

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and for the purpose of the security rights granted and to be granted under or pursuant to the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of The Netherlands and the laws of Poland (the “Foreign Security Agreements”), the Issuer and each Note Guarantor that is a party to the Foreign Security Agreements undertake to pay to any Notes Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity as creditor in its own right and not as agent, representative or trustee, as a

152

separate independent obligation to such Notes Collateral Agent, the amount of its Parallel Debt. Moreover, the security rights contemplated by the applicable Foreign Security Agreements are granted in favor of the applicable Notes Collateral Agent in its individual capacity and not as agent, representative or trustee of the Holders of the Notes, as security for its claims under the Parallel Debt and consequently such Notes Collateral Agent becoming the sole security beneficiary of such security rights.

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

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

SECTION 13.3 Parallel Debt (Hungary). The Trustee and each Notes Secured Party (other than the Notes Collateral Agents) hereby authorizes and appoints the applicable Notes Collateral Agent to accept, register in its name (but for the benefit of each Notes Secured Party) manage and enforce, as its collateral representative (in Hungarian: “zálogjogosulti bizományos”) within the meaning of Section 5:96 of Act V of 2013 on the Hungarian civil code (the “Hungarian Civil Code”), any charge based Collateral granted to such Notes Collateral Agent in relation to this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and to act and execute on its behalf in such capacity, subject to the terms of the Guarantee entered into by a Note Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Hungary, amendments or releases of, accessions and alterations to, and to carry out similar dealings with regard to this Indenture or any Collateral Document governed by the laws of Hungary or entered into by a Note Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Hungary. For the purposes of the Hungarian Civil Code, (i) this provision constitutes the agreement of all Notes Secured Parties regarding the authorization and appointment of the applicable Notes Collateral Agent as “zálogjogosulti bizományos” for enforcing, managing and administering any charge based Collateral entered into by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Hungary (for the purposes of, and as envisaged by, Article 5:96.§ (1) of the Hungarian Civil Code); (ii) in case there are discrepancies (including inter alia matters pertaining to sharing, settlement, flow of funds and rights of Notes Collateral Agents) not expressly regulated by Hungarian law between the regulations of Article 5:96.§ (1) of the Hungarian Civil Code and this Indenture, the terms of this Indenture shall prevail to the extent permitted by law; (iii) the liability of each Notes Secured Party for the actions of the applicable Notes Collateral Agent acting as its collateral representative (“zálogjogosulti bizományos”) shall be considered as limited for the purposes of 5:96. § (6) of the Hungarian Civil Code, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture governing such liability; and (iv) as permitted by Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of 17 June 2008, this Section 13.3 shall be governed by Hungarian law. Each Notes Collateral Agent hereby accepts and the Note Guarantors hereby acknowledge such appointment as of the date hereof.

153

SECTION 13.4 Parallel Debt (Switzerland). For the purpose of any Collateral Document or Lien governed by the laws of Switzerland (the “Swiss Security Documents”) and all security interests created thereunder:

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Issuer and each Note Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the applicable Notes Collateral Agent, as creditor in its own right and not as representative of the other Notes Secured Parties, amounts equal to and in the currency of each Payable Amount as and when that Payable Amount falls due for payment under this Indenture, the Notes or the relevant Collateral Document (the “Swiss Parallel Debt”). For the purpose of this Section 13.4, “Payable Amount” means in relation to the Issuer or a Note Guarantor, any amount payable by the Issuer or such Note Guarantor to each of the Notes Secured Parties under this Indenture, the Notes and each of the Collateral Documents, but excluding any amounts of parallel debt payable by the Issuer or such Note Guarantor pursuant to this Article 13.

(b) The Issuer and each Note Guarantor and each Notes Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of the Issuer and each Note Guarantor under paragraph (a) above are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of the Issuer or that Note Guarantor, as applicable, to any Notes Secured Party under this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document (as used in this Section 13.4, its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which the Issuer and each Note Guarantor is liable under the Swiss Parallel Debt be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt; provided that:

(i) the Swiss Parallel Debt of the Issuer and of each Note Guarantor shall be decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged;

(ii) the Corresponding Debt of the Issuer and of each Note Guarantor shall be decreased to the extent that its Swiss Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and

(iii) the amount of the Swiss Parallel Debt of the Issuer or, respectively, a Note Guarantor shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Corresponding Debt.

(c) All monies received or recovered by any Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 13.4, and all amounts received or recovered by any Notes Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Collateral granted under the Swiss Security Documents, shall be applied in accordance with this Indenture.

(d) For the purpose of any vote taken under this Indenture, the Notes or any Collateral Document, no Notes Collateral Agent shall be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has, if any, in its capacity as a Holder.

154

SECTION 13.5 Additional Parallel Debt Provisions. In the case of any Note Guarantor that becomes a Note Guarantor after the Issue Date and is located in a jurisdiction where Parallel Debt provisions are customary or required, the Issuer, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee are hereby authorized to provide for Parallel Debt, in customary form (as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion) in the supplemental indenture with respect to such Guarantor’s guarantee. The Trustee and the Issuer, without the consent of any Holder, may also incorporate into this Indenture additional Parallel Debt provisions as necessary to address After-Acquired Property in any jurisdiction where no assets are pledged by a guarantor organized therein on the Issue Date.
