Section 1.05 Measuring Compliance.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.05.

(b) For purposes of calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, Specified Transactions identified by the Issuer, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, any successor entity of any of the foregoing or a third party (the “Testing Party”) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to, simultaneously with or in connection with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction identified by the Testing Party that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.05, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated to give Pro Forma Effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.05.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Testing Party and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, synergies, additional net income and profit projected by the Testing Party in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, synergies, additional net income and profit had been realized on the first day of such Test Period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, synergies, additional net income and profit were realized during the entirety of such period) relating to such Specified Transaction, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions (such cost savings, operating expense reductions, synergies, additional income and profit, “Specified Transaction Adjustments”); provided that (i) such Specified Transaction Adjustments are reasonably identifiable and quantifiable in the good faith judgment of the Testing Party, (ii) such actions are taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken no later than 24 months after the date of such Specified Transaction and (iii) no amounts shall be included pursuant to this paragraph to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise included in calculating Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to any Test Period.

(d) In the event that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio, as the case may be (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to, simultaneously with or in connection with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period with respect to leverage ratios or the first day of such Test Period with respect to the Interest Coverage Ratio.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, (i) the Testing Party may rely on more than one basket or exception hereunder (including both ratio-based and non-ratio based baskets and exceptions, and including partial reliance on different baskets that, collectively, permit the entire proposed transaction) at the

time of any proposed transaction, and the Testing Party may, in its sole discretion, at any later time divide, classify or reclassify such transaction (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with the available baskets and exceptions hereunder at such later time (provided that with respect to reclassification of Indebtedness and Liens, any such reclassification shall be subject to Section 4.03 and Section 4.12 herein), as applicable, (ii) unless the Testing Party elects otherwise, if the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any transaction or series of such related transaction (A) Incurs Indebtedness, issues Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, creates Liens, makes Asset Sales, makes Investments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, repays any Indebtedness, makes any Restricted Payment or takes any other action under or as permitted by a ratio-based basket and (B) Incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes Asset Sales, makes Investments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, makes any Restricted Payment or repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under a non-ratio-based basket, then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the applicable ratio-based basket without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket made in connection with such transaction or series of related transactions, (iii) if the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into any revolving, delayed draw or other committed debt facility, the Testing Party may elect to determine compliance of such debt facility (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens from time to time in connection therewith) with this Indenture on the date commitments with respect thereto are first received, assuming the full amount of such facility is incurred (and any applicable Liens are granted) on such date, in which case such committed amount may thereafter be borrowed or reborrowed, in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with such applicable ratio-based basket hereunder, in lieu of determining such compliance on any subsequent date (including any date on which Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to such facility); provided that, in each case, any future calculation of such ratio-based basket shall only include the amount borrowed and outstanding as of the date of determination, and (iv) if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurs Indebtedness under a ratio-based basket, such ratio-based basket (together with any other ratio-based basket utilized in connection therewith, including in respect of other Indebtedness, Liens, Asset Sales, Investments, Restricted Payments or payments in respect of Subordinated Indebtedness) will be calculated excluding the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness for netting purposes (i.e., such cash proceeds shall not reduce the Issuer’s Consolidated Net Debt pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of such term); provided that the actual application of such proceeds may reduce Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with any such applicable ratio. For example, if the Issuer Incurs Indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount on the same date that it Incurs Indebtedness under the Ratio Incremental Debt, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio and any other applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under the Ratio Incremental Debt without regard to any incurrence of Indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount or any other non-ratio based basket. Unless the Testing Party elects otherwise, such Indebtedness shall be deemed incurred first under the Ratio Incremental Debt to the extent permitted (and calculated prior to giving effect to any substantially simultaneous Incurrence of any Indebtedness based on a basket or exception that is not based on a financial ratio, including under the Fixed Incremental Amount or clauses (a) and (b) of Section 4.03(2)), with any balance incurred under any other clause of Section 4.03(2), including the Fixed Incremental Amount, or as Ratio Debt. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.03, in the event that any Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of Ratio Incremental Debt or Fixed Incremental Amount, the Testing Party may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with Section 4.03 on the date of classification or reclassification, as applicable. The Issuer hereby elects that on the Issue Date, the entire committed amount of the revolving portion of the ABL Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been incurred under Section 4.03(2)(b) and not under any ratio-based basket.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, when (i) calculating any applicable basket, ratio or financial metric in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness, the creation of Liens, the making of any Asset Sale, the making of an Investment, the making of a Restricted Payment, the designation of a Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted, the repayment of Indebtedness or for any other purpose, (ii) determining whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from any action, or (iii) determining compliance with any other condition precedent to any action or transaction, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii) in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, the date of determination of such basket, ratio or financial metric, whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, or the satisfaction of any other condition precedent shall, at the option of the Testing Party (the Testing Party’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, a

“Transaction Election”), be deemed to be the date of declaration of such Restricted Payment or the date that the definitive agreement for such Restricted Payment, Investment, acquisition, Asset Sale or repayment, repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is entered into, the date a public announcement of an intention to make an offer in respect of the target of such acquisition or Investment or the date of such notice, which may be conditional, of such repayment, repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is given to the holders of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (any such date, the “Transaction Test Date”). If on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Specified Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) such baskets, ratios, financial metrics, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent and other provisions are calculated as if such Specified Transaction or other transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the Transaction Test Date for which internal financial statements are available, the Testing Party could have taken such action on the relevant Transaction Test Date in compliance with the applicable baskets, ratios, financial metrics or other provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if any of such baskets, ratios, financial metrics, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such baskets, ratios and financial metrics (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of the Testing Party or any target company), a change in facts and circumstances or other provisions at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Specified Transaction, such baskets, ratios, financial metrics, absence of defaults, satisfaction of conditions precedent and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded, breached, or otherwise failed as a result of such fluctuations or changed circumstances solely for purposes of determining whether the Specified Transaction and any related transactions is permitted hereunder and (ii) such baskets, ratios, financial metrics and compliance with such conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions except as contemplated in clause (a) of the immediately succeeding proviso; provided, however, that (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Testing Party may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine all such baskets, ratios and financial metrics on the basis of such financial statements, in which case such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable Transaction Test Date for purposes of such baskets, ratios and financial metrics and (b) if any ratios or financial metrics improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios, financial metrics or baskets may be utilized. If the Testing Party has made a Transaction Election for any Limited Condition Transaction or Specified Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, financial metric or basket availability with respect to any other Limited Condition Transaction or Specified Transaction or otherwise on or following the relevant Transaction Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, financial metric or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. For purposes of any calculation pursuant to this paragraph of the Interest Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest Expense may be calculated using an assumed interest rate for the Indebtedness to be incurred in connection with such Specified Transaction based on the indicative interest margin (giving effect to any step-ups or margin caps, but without giving effect to any increases as a result of market “flex”) contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Testing Party in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Testing Party has exercised its option pursuant to the foregoing and any Default, Specified Event of Default or Event of Default occurs following the Transaction Test Date (including any new Transaction Test Date) for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction or Specified Transaction and prior to or on the date of the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or Specified Transaction, any such Default, Specified Event of Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction or Specified Transaction is permitted under this Indenture.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in connection with a Testing Party’s election to use a Transaction Test Date in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction or Specified Transaction, any reference to “date

of incurrence” or “time of incurrence” or other similar phrases with respect to the date or time an action is taken herein will mean the Transaction Test Date.

(h) For purposes of determining the maturity date of any Indebtedness, customary bridge loans that are subject to customary conditions (as determined by the Issuer in good faith, including conditions requiring no payment or bankruptcy event of default) that would either automatically be extended as, converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent refinancing shall be deemed to have the maturity date as so extended, converted or exchanged.

Article II
THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date is $600,000,000.

The Issuer may from time to time after the Issue Date issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, so long as (i) the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Additional Notes is at such time permitted by Section 4.03 and (ii) such Additional Notes are issued in compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 3.08 or Appendix A), there shall be (a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes:

(1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture;

(2) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest on such Additional Notes shall accrue; and

(3) if applicable, that such Additional Notes shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes and, in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Notes, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global Notes in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Exhibit A hereto and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.2 of Appendix A in which any such Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Notes registered, or any transfer of such Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by an Officer of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or an indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes.

The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes may, at the Issuer’s option, be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number, if applicable.

Section 2.02 Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Notes (including Additional Notes) are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The

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

Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Issuer signed by one Officer of the Issuer (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein. Such order shall specify the amount of separate Note certificates to be authenticated, the principal amount of each of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes, the registered holder of each of the Notes and delivery instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required for the Trustee to authenticate and make available for delivery the Initial Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or Appendix A, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronic signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless so long as such Officer held such office at the time of his or her execution thereof.

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

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent.

(1) The Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and the Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

(2) The Issuer may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. Such agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuer or any of its domestically organized Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(3) The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however, that

the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.

Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. On or prior to each due date of the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, any Note, the Issuer shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Issuer or a Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium (if any) and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on, the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon a bankruptcy of the Issuer, the Trustee shall automatically become the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

Section 2.06 Holder 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 holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of holders.

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge will be made for any registration, transfer or exchange of the Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.07. The Issuer shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or between a Record Date and the relevant Interest Payment Date.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

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 DTC participants or beneficial owners of interests 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 if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

None of the Trustee, Registrar or Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the DTC.

Section 2.08 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order, authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the holder (a) satisfies the Issuer and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer and the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Issuer and the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee, with respect to the Trustee, and the Issuer, with respect to the Issuer, to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar, as applicable, from any loss or liability that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

Section 2.09 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 and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 14.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.

If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium (if any) and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.10 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable

satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly send or cause to be sent to each affected holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, Etc. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of any change in any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

Section 2.13 Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 14.06 of this Indenture.

Article III
REDEMPTION

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 5 of the Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

Section 3.02 Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the election of the Issuer or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article III.

Section 3.03 Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, at least two Business Days for Global Notes and 10 days for Definitive Notes (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) before a notice of redemption is required to be mailed or otherwise delivered pursuant to Section 3.05, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth: (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price, if then ascertainable. The Issuer may also include a request in such Officer’s Certificate that the Trustee give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.05. Any such notice may be canceled if written notice from the Issuer of such cancellation is actually received by the Trustee on the Business Day immediately prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any holder or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the DTC and shall thereby be void and of no effect. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.04.

Section 3.04 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed (and the Issuer shall notify the Trustee of any such listing), or if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and, in such manner that complies with the requirements of the DTC, if applicable); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to

Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

Section 3.05 Notice of Optional Redemption.

At least 10 but not more than 60 days before a redemption date pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Note, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the procedures of the DTC, a notice of redemption to each holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), except that redemption notices may be mailed or otherwise sent more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if (a) the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII or (b) in case of a redemption that is subject to one or more conditions precedent, the date of redemption is extended as permitted in this Indenture.

Any such notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof, and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date;

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

(4) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

(5) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

(6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date (whether or not a Business Day);

(7) the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed;

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

(9) if the redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice thereof shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s sole discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), and/or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be modified or rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, and/or that such notice may be modified or rescinded at any time by the Issuer if the Issuer determines in its sole discretion that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied (or waived); and

(10) at the Issuer’s option, that the payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Notice of any redemption upon any transaction or event (including any Equity Offering, Incurrence of Indebtedness, Change of Control or other transaction) may be given prior to the completion thereof. In addition, any redemption or notice thereof may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a transaction or other event. For the avoidance of doubt, if any redemption date shall be delayed as contemplated by this Section 3.05 and the terms of the applicable notice of redemption, such redemption date as so delayed may occur at any time after the original redemption date set forth in the applicable notice of redemption and after the satisfaction (or waiver) of any applicable conditions precedent, including, without

limitation, on a date that is less than 10 days after the original redemption date or more than 60 days after the date of the applicable notice of redemption. To the extent that the redemption date will occur on a date other than the original redemption date set forth in the applicable notice of redemption, the Issuer shall notify the holders and the Trustee of the final redemption date prior to such date; provided that the failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of any redemption under this Article III.

Section 3.06 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with Section 3.05, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date (as such date may be extended or delayed) and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final paragraph of Paragraph 5 of the Note or in Section 3.05. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant Record Date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other holder. On or after the redemption date (whether or not a Business Day), interest shall cease to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, pursuant to Section 3.07.

Section 3.07 Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Notes, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed or purchased. On and after the redemption date (whether or not a Business Day), interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed.

Section 3.08 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender and cancellation of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and cancelled (or if the Note is a Global Note, an adjustment shall be made to the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note” attached thereto in accordance with the applicable procedures of the DTC).

Section 3.09 Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes under Section 4.06 and Section 4.08. The Issuer or its Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes. Any such purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as well as with such consideration as the Issuer or any such Affiliates may determine.

Section 4.01 Payment of Notes. The Issuer will promptly pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, if any, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture.

(4) [reserved].

(b) The Issuer shall conduct quarterly conference calls with management of the Issuer and the holders of the Notes and securities analysts (to the extent providing analysis of investment in the Notes) (which conference calls may be combined with any conference calls for the holders of the Issuer’s other securities), and in each case, subject to the requirements of this Section 4.02, to discuss the financial performance of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended fiscal year or fiscal quarter, as the case may be, for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to clauses (a)(1) or (2) of this Section 4.02.

provide such information to the Trustee to the Issuer’s website (or the website of any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, including the Reporting Entity) or on IntraLinks or any comparable password protected online data system or website. If at any time the Issuer has made a good faith determination to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an Equity Offering of such entity’s Capital Stock, the Issuer will not be required to disclose any information or take any actions that, in the good faith view of the Issuer, would violate the securities laws or the SEC’s “gun jumping” rules or otherwise have an adverse effect on such Equity Offering.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) neither the Issuer nor another Reporting Entity will be required to deliver any information, certificates or reports that would otherwise be required by (i) Section 302, Section 404 or Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 or 308 of Regulation S-K, or (ii) Regulation G or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC with respect to any non-generally accepted accounting principles financial measures contained therein, (b) such reports will not be required to contain financial information required by Rule 3-05, Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X or include any exhibits or certifications required by Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K (or any successor or comparable forms) or related rules under Regulation S-K, (c) such reports shall be subject to exceptions, exclusions and other differences consistent with the presentation of financial and other information in the Offering Memorandum and shall not be required to present compensation or beneficial ownership information, (d) no such report will be required to include as an exhibit, or to include a summary of the terms of, any employment or compensatory arrangement agreement, plan or understanding between the Issuer (or any Subsidiary) and any director, manager or executive officer of the Issuer (or any Subsidiary), (e) trade secrets and other proprietary information may be excluded from any disclosures and (f) such information will not be required to contain any “segment reporting”.

(e) The financial statements, information and other documents required to be provided pursuant to this Section 4.02 may be those of (i) the Issuer, (ii) any Parent Entity or (iii) any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer that, together with its Subsidiaries, constitutes substantially all the assets and liabilities of the Issuer and its consolidated Subsidiaries (any such entity described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Reporting Entity”), so long as in the case of clause (ii) either (1) such Parent Entity shall not conduct, transact or otherwise engage, or commit to conduct, transact or otherwise engage, in any material business or operations other than its direct or indirect ownership of all of the Equity Interests in, and its management, of the Issuer, (2) such Parent Entity is or elects to become a Guarantor or (3) if otherwise, the financial information so delivered shall be accompanied by (or available on a password protected online data system or website) a reasonably detailed description of the material quantitative differences (the “Reconciliation”) between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand but only to the extent there are quantitative material differences (which for the avoidance of doubt need not be audited or reviewed by the auditors or included in the financial statements).

(f) The Issuer has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when neither it nor another Reporting Entity is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, it will furnish to the holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(g) For so long as the Issuer has designated certain of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then, in connection with the quarterly and annual financial information required by this Section 4.02, the Issuer will provide information reasonably sufficient to identify the Indebtedness and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA attributable to such Unrestricted Subsidiaries (which need not be audited or reviewed by the auditors).

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will be deemed to have delivered such reports and information referred to above to the holders, bona fide prospective investors, market makers affiliated with any initial purchasers of the Notes, bona fide securities analysts and the Trustee for all purposes of this Indenture if the Issuer or another Reporting Entity has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor system) and such reports are publicly available. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Reporting Entity files such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system (or any successor system), a Reconciliation is only required to be provided to the Trustee, the holders, bona fide prospective investors, market makers

affiliated with any initial purchasers of the Notes and bona fide analysts of the Notes if a Reconciliation is required pursuant to Section 4.02(e), and any such Reconciliation will accompany the applicable report so filed (or be made available on a password protected online data system or website) and such Reconciliation need not be audited or reviewed by the auditors or included in the financial statements. In addition, the requirements of this Section 4.02 will be deemed satisfied and the Issuer will be deemed to have delivered such reports and information referred to above to the Trustee, holders, bona fide prospective investors, market makers affiliated with any initial purchasers of the Notes and bona fide securities analysts for all purposes of this Indenture by the posting of reports and information that would be required to be provided on the Issuer’s website (or that of any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries, including the Reporting Entity). If any financial statements that have been previously delivered are required to be restated, such financial statements shall still be deemed to have been delivered on the initial date of delivery while any such restatement is ongoing.

(i) Any person who requests or accesses such financial information or to attend any conference calls required by this Section 4.02 may be required to provide its email address, employer name and other information reasonably requested by the Issuer and represent to the Issuer (to the Issuer’s reasonable good faith satisfaction) that:

(1) it is a holder of the Notes, a beneficial owner of the Notes, a bona fide prospective investor in the Notes, a market maker in the Notes affiliated with any initial purchaser of the Notes or a bona fide securities analyst providing an analysis of investment in the Notes;

(2) it will not use the information in violation of applicable securities laws or regulations;

(3) it will keep such provided information confidential and will not communicate the information to any Person; and

(4) it (a) will not use such information in any manner intended to compete with the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and (b) is not a Person (which includes such Person’s Affiliates) that (i) is principally engaged in a Similar Business or (ii) derives a significant portion of its revenues from operating or owning a Similar Business.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any failure to comply with this Section 4.02 shall be automatically cured when the Issuer, as the case may be, provides all required reports to the noteholders or files all required reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system.

Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.02 is for informational purposes only and the information and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee shall have no duty to review or analyze reports delivered to it or monitor whether any such reports have been filed with the SEC or the Issuer’s website. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining whether a Reconciliation is required to be given.

In the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the baskets described in clauses (a) through (ee) of Section 4.03(2) (or any portion thereof), or is entitled to be Incurred or issued as Ratio Debt, then the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such later time), such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03; provided that (x) all Indebtedness created pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement on the Issue

Date shall be Incurred under clause (a) of Section 4.03(2) and may not be reclassified, (y) all Indebtedness created pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement on the Issue Date shall be Incurred under clause (b) of Section 4.03(2) and may not be reclassified and (z) the Notes and the Guarantees outstanding on the Issue Date shall be Incurred under clause (aa) of Section 4.03(2) and may not be reclassified.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, amortization of original issue discount or deferred financing costs, the accretion of original issue discount or deferred financing costs or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (c) of the definition of “Indebtedness” will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Issuer dated such dated prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction (or restriction based on a percentage of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, if greater) on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt. However, if the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency, and the refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction (or restriction based on a percentage of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, if greater) to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, the U.S. dollar-denominated restriction (or restriction based on a percentage of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, if greater) will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced plus any Additional Refinancing Amount (if applicable).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of the refinancing.

The amount of any Restricted Payment at any time shall be the amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of other property subject to the Restricted Payment at the date of determination or the time such Restricted Payment is made. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, (A) a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Restricted Payments (or any portion thereof) or Permitted Investments (or any portion thereof) described in the above clauses of this Section 4.04 or the definitions thereof but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Restricted Payment (or any portion thereof) or Permitted Investment (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Restricted Payments (or any portion thereof) or Permitted Investments (or any portion thereof) described in the above clauses of this Section 4.04 or the definitions thereof, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such permitted Restricted Payment (or

any portion thereof) or Permitted Investment (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.04 and at the time of division, classification or reclassification will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such Restricted Payment (or any portion thereof) or Permitted Investment (or any portion thereof) in one of the categories of permitted Restricted Payments (or any portion thereof) or Permitted Investments (or any portion thereof) described in the above clauses of this Section 4.04 or the definition of “Permitted Investment”.

The amount set forth in Section 4.04(2)(n)(A) may, in lieu of Restricted Payments described in Section 4.04(1)(a) and Section 4.04(1)(b), be utilized by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to make any other Restricted Payment described in Section 4.04(1)(c) or Section 4.04(1)(d) and the amount set forth in Section 4.04(2)(n)(B) may, in lieu of Restricted Payments described in Section 4.04(1)(c), be utilized by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to make Restricted Investments.

As of the Issue Date, all of the Subsidiaries of the Issuer will be Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to become an Unrestricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”. For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated on such date of designation will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments”. Such designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (a) consummate any disposition of any material intellectual property to any Unrestricted Subsidiary , (b) contribute or otherwise make any Investment of any material intellectual property to or in any Unrestricted Subsidiary or (c) designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if such Subsidiary owns any material intellectual property; provided that the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c) shall not apply to transactions that have a bona fide business purpose so long as such transactions are not undertaken to facilitate a financing (including a debtor in possession financing) or a Restricted Payment or undertaken in connection with a liability management transaction.

(20) [reserved];

(21) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary which was in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate such acquisition other than in connection with the Incurrence of Indebtedness of the type contemplated by Section 4.03(2)(e)), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired;

Section 4.06 Asset Sales.

A. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless (x) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of (or if not for Fair Market Value, the shortfall is permitted as an Investment by Section 4.04 herein) and (y) with respect to any disposition for a purchase price in excess of the greater of (A) 10% of Closing Date EBITDA and (B) 10% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the date of the disposition, at least 75% of the

consideration for such Asset Sale, together with all other Asset Sales since the Issue Date (on a cumulative basis), received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(a) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet that are available or in the footnotes thereto or, if incurred or increased subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or increase had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined by the Issuer) of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the payment of the Notes and the Guarantee that are assumed by the transferee with respect to the applicable Asset Sale (or a third party in connection with such transfer) or that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee;

(b) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days of the receipt thereof;

(c) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Issuer and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with the Asset Sale;

(d) Consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the Issue Date from Persons who are not the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; and

(e) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received in respect of such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer), taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (e) that is at that time outstanding, not in excess of the greater of (I) 20% of Closing Date EBITDA and (II) 20% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the applicable date of determination, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall in each case be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06.

B. Within 540 days after the Issuer’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at their option:

(1) to repay (i) Indebtedness constituting Priority Lien Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (ii) if the assets or property disposed of in the Asset Sale were not Collateral, Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, (iii) Notes Obligations or (iv) other Parity Lien Indebtedness and, if the assets or property disposed of in the Asset Sale were not Collateral, Pari Passu Indebtedness (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) (provided that if the Issuer or any Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness under this clause (iv) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include Indebtedness described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) even if such Indebtedness may also constitute Parity Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness), the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Notes Obligations either, as the Issuer shall elect in its sole discretion, as provided under Section 3.03 herein, through open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders to purchase a pro rata principal amount of Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any);

(2) to make an investment in any one or more businesses, assets, or property or capital expenditures, including restructuring or similar charges incurred to implement any such investment, in each case (a) used or useful in a Similar Business or (b) that replace the business, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or, in each case, to reimburse the cost of any of the foregoing incurred on or after the date on which the Asset Sale giving rise to such Net Proceeds was contractually committed or on or after the date 540 days prior to the consummation of such Asset Sale; or

(3) any combination of the foregoing;

provided that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clause (2) of this Section 4.06(B) if and to the extent that, within 540 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to make an investment in compliance with the provision described in clause (2) of this Section 4.06(B), and that investment is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 540-day period.

Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility or otherwise use such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture and the Security Documents. If the Issuer has not elected to apply any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale as provided and within the time period set forth in the two immediately preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.06, then, in lieu of applying such Net Proceeds in such manner, such Net Proceeds (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (1) above, shall be deemed to have been so applied whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that, (i) if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than the Closing Date First Lien Net Leverage Ratio less 0.50 to 1.00 after giving Pro Forma Effect to such Asset Sale, the amount of any such Net Proceeds (prior to any application or investment of Net Proceeds as provided above) from an Asset Sale shall be reduced by 50% and (ii) if the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than the Closing Date First Lien Net Leverage Ratio less 1.00 to 1.00 after giving Pro Forma Effect to such Asset Sale, the amount of any such Net Proceeds (prior to any application or investment of Net Proceeds as provided above) from an Asset Sale shall be reduced by 100% (the percentage of Net Proceeds that constitutes Excess Proceeds shall be the “Excess Proceeds Applicable Percentage”).

If the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of (i) 2.50% of Closing Date EBITDA and (ii) 2.50% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the applicable date of determination, the Issuer shall make an offer to all holders of Notes (and, at the option of the Issuer, to holders of any Parity Lien Indebtedness, and if the asset or property disposed of in the Asset Sale was not Collateral, Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such other Parity Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness), that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event the Notes, such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or such Pari Passu Indebtedness were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of (i) 2.50% of Closing Date EBITDA and (ii) 2.50% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the applicable date of determination by mailing, or delivering electronically if held by the DTC, the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuer may, at its option, satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 540 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds equal to or less than the greater of (i) 2.50% of Closing Date EBITDA and (ii) 2.50% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the applicable date of determination (it being understood that such Net Proceeds used to make an Asset Sale Offer shall satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to Net Proceeds whether or not such offer is accepted). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or such Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds

(any such amount, “Retained Declined Proceeds”) for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture and shall not be required to use them for any other purpose. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or such Pari Passu Indebtedness) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described below. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that (x) any of or all of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sales by a Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States or (y) repatriation to the United States of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax audit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.06, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, provided that (1) clause (x) of this paragraph shall apply to such amounts for so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Issuer hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law and is not subject to clause (y) of this paragraph, then such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly applied in compliance with this Section 4.06, and (2) in the case of where clause (y) applies and clause (x) does not apply, on or before the date on which any Net Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to prepayment or reinvestments, the Issuer applies an amount equal to such Net Proceeds to such prepayments or reinvestments as if such Net Proceeds had been received by the Issuer rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount (the “Netted Tax Amount”) of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Proceeds had been repatriated to the United States by such Foreign Subsidiary; provided that, if at such a time within 12 months of the applicable prepayment or reinvestment event and not after such 12-month period, the repatriation of any Net Proceeds from such Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have material adverse tax consequences, such Foreign Subsidiary shall promptly repatriate an amount equal to the Netted Tax Amount, which amount shall be applied to the pro rata prepayment of Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Net Proceeds shall be applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary.

The time periods set forth in this Section 4.06 shall not start until such time as the Net Proceeds may be repatriated.

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

If more Notes (and such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or such Pari Passu Indebtedness) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuer is required to purchase, the Issuer shall select the Notes (and such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or such Pari Passu Indebtedness) to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based on the amounts tendered or required to be purchased (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000). Selection of such other Parity Lien Indebtedness and such Pari Passu Indebtedness will be made pursuant to the terms of such other Parity Lien Indebtedness or such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable.

Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be provided as described under Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 herein. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

The Issuer and the Guarantors will not enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than as permitted by this Indenture, the Notes the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

Section 4.07 Transactions with Affiliates.

A. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of their properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of (A) 10% of Closing Date EBITDA and (B) 10% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the applicable date of determination, unless such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable, when taken as a whole, to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person.

B. The foregoing provisions of clause (A) above will not apply to the following:

Section 4.08 Change of Control.

(1) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control after the Issue Date, each holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), except to the extent the Issuer has previously or concurrently elected to redeem Notes as described in Article III of this Indenture.

(2) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem the Notes by delivery of a notice of redemption as described in Article III of this Indenture, the Issuer shall mail to each holder’s registered address, or deliver electronically if held by the DTC, with a copy to the Trustee a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) stating:

closing of the transaction that is expected to result in the Change of Control and which may be tolled until the closing of such transaction)); and

(iv) the instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.08, that a holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

(3) A Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control.

(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (ii) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Issuer (or any Affiliate of the Issuer) or a third party has made an offer to purchase, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer (an “Alternate Offer”), any and all notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer, or (iii) the Issuer has previously issued a notice of a full redemption pursuant to Section 3.01.

(5) Notes repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuer.

(7) At the time the Issuer delivers Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuer shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08.

(8) The Issuer’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control, including the definition of “Change of Control,” may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 4.09 Compliance Certificate.

(a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year ending January 30, 2027), an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knew of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period (and, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer or Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto) and that to his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuer or Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days of any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default (unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived during such 30-day period), an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of

Default, its status and what action the Issuer or the Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.10 [Reserved].

Section 4.11 Future Guarantors. The Issuer will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary and that guarantees or becomes an Issuer under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any other Parity Lien Indebtedness to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto within 20 Business Days of the date of providing such guarantee under the Term Loan Credit Agreement pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes and the other Obligations under the Notes Documents. Each Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, preference, transfer at undervalue or similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Each Person that becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date shall also become a party to the applicable Security Documents and shall as promptly as practicable execute and deliver such security instruments and financing statements (in substantially the same form as those executed and delivered with respect to the Collateral on the Issue Date or on the date first delivered in the case of Collateral that this Indenture provides may be delivered after the Issue Date (to the extent, and substantially in the form, delivered on the Issue Date or the date first delivered, as applicable (but no greater scope))) as may be necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in properties and assets that constitute Fixed Asset Collateral and a perfected second-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in properties and assets that constitute Current Asset Collateral, in either case, as security for such Guarantor’s Guarantee and as may be necessary to have such property or asset added to the Collateral as required under the Security Documents and this Indenture, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such properties and assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

Each Guarantor’s Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02.

Section 4.12 Liens.

(a) Prior to a Covenant Suspension Event, following any Reversion Date and during any Suspension Period when there is no election by the Issuer pursuant to clause (b) below, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) on any asset or property of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary securing Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary unless solely with respect to any assets or property that are not at such time Collateral, if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary creates any Lien upon any property or assets that are not at such time Collateral to secure any Priority Lien Indebtedness or Parity Lien Indebtedness, it must concurrently grant a first-priority Lien upon such property or assets that would constitute Fixed Asset Collateral or a second-priority Lien upon such property or assets that would constitute Current Asset Collateral as security for the Notes or the applicable Guarantee, such that the property or assets subject to such Lien will constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents, subject, in each case, to local law limitations and Permitted Liens until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien.

(b) Following a Covenant Suspension Event, the Issuer may elect by written notice to the Trustee to be subject to an alternative covenant with respect to the limitation on Liens in lieu of the preceding paragraph (the date such notice is delivered, the “Liens Covenant Election Date”). Under this alternative covenant, from and after a Liens Covenant Election Date and until a Reversion Date, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Issuer’s Principal Property Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur any Lien of any kind upon any (1) Restricted Property or (2) shares of Capital Stock or evidence of Indebtedness for borrowed money issued by any Principal Property Subsidiary, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, without making effective provision, and the Issuer in such case will make or cause to be made effective provision, whereby the Notes and the applicable Guarantees shall be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with any and all other Indebtedness or obligations thereby secured, so long as such Indebtedness or obligations shall be so secured; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the following:

(1) Liens that exist on the date of the Covenant Suspension Event;

(2) Liens on property, shares of Capital Stock or evidence of Indebtedness of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Guarantor;

(3) Liens in favor of the Issuer or any Guarantor;

(4) Liens in favor of governmental bodies to secure progress, advance or other payments pursuant to contract or statute or Indebtedness incurred to finance all or a part of construction of or improvements to property subject to such Liens;

(5) Liens (i) on property, shares of Capital Stock or evidences of Indebtedness for borrowed money existing at the time of acquisition thereof (including acquisition through merger, amalgamation or consolidation), and construction and improvement Liens that are entered into within one year from the date of such construction or improvement; provided that in the case of construction or improvement the Lien shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor except substantially unimproved real property on which the property so constructed or the improvement is located and (ii) for the acquisition of any real property, which Liens are created within 270 days after the completion of such acquisition to secure or provide for the payment of the purchase price of the real property acquired; provided that with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), any such Liens do not extend to any other property of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (whether such property is then owned or thereafter acquired);

(6) mechanics’, landlords’ and similar Liens arising in the ordinary course of business in respect of obligations not due or being contested in good faith;

(7) Liens for taxes, assessments, or governmental charges or levies that are not delinquent or are being contested in good faith;

(8) Liens arising from any legal proceedings that are being contested in good faith;

(9) any Liens that (i) are incidental to the ordinary conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties and assets, including Liens incurred in connection with workmen’s compensation, unemployment insurance or other forms of governmental insurance or benefits, or to secure performance of tenders, statutory obligations, leases and contracts, (ii) were not incurred in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit and (iii) do not in the aggregate materially detract from the value of the property of the Issuer or any Guarantor or materially impair the use thereof in the operation of its business; and

(10) Liens for the sole purpose of extending, renewing or replacing in whole or in part any of the foregoing,

provided that, notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (b), during any Suspension Period, if the Liens Covenant Election Date has occurred, the Issuer or any Subsidiary may, without equally and ratably securing the Notes and the Guarantees, create or assume Liens that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions if at the time of such creation or assumption, and after giving effect thereto, Exempted Indebtedness does not exceed 10% of Total Assets.

(c) Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes or any Guarantee under the preceding paragraph shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes or such Guarantee.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to paragraph (a) above but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens (or

any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if Incurred at such later time), such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.12 and at the time of classification or reclassification will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien (or any portion thereof) in one of the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to paragraph (a) above and, in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) will be treated as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only such clause or clauses (or any portion thereof) or pursuant to the first paragraph hereof without giving Pro Forma Effect to such item (or any portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) that may be Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph (or any portion thereof) at such time; provided that, all Liens created pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement, in each case on the Issue Date, will be deemed to have been Incurred in reliance on the exceptions in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, respectively, and will not be permitted to be reclassified pursuant to this paragraph. In addition, with respect to any revolving loan Indebtedness or commitment relating to the Incurrence of Indebtedness that is designated to be incurred on any date pursuant to clause (c) of Section 4.03(2) herein, any Lien that does or that shall secure such Indebtedness may also be designated by the Issuer to be Incurred on such date and, in such event, any related subsequent actual Incurrence of such Lien shall be deemed for all purposes under this Indenture to be Incurred on such prior date, including for purposes of calculating usage of any “Permitted Lien” until such time as the related Indebtedness is no longer deemed outstanding pursuant to clause (c) of Section 4.03(2) herein or the Issuer shall later divide, classify or reclassify such Lien in any other manner that complies with this Section 4.12. See also Section 1.05 herein.

(11) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount or deferred financing costs, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Issuer, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or deferred financing costs or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (c) of the definition of “Indebtedness”.

Section 4.13 [Reserved].

Section 4.14 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

(a) The Issuer will maintain in the United States, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or fails 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 as set forth in Section 13.02; provided that no service of legal process against the Issuer or any Guarantors may be made at any 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 will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the United States for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c) The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04 herein.

Section 4.15 Covenant Suspension.

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from at least two of the Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture then, beginning on that day (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), then, beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter and subject to the provisions of the succeeding paragraph, Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06 (but only to the extent related to properties or assets of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries that do not constitute Collateral), 4.07, 4.11, upon the making of the election described under Section 4.12(b), Section 4.12(a) and 5.01(a)(iv) herein (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) will not be applicable to the Notes.

(b) If and while the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants, the Notes will be entitled to substantially less covenant protection. In the event that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) there is a withdrawal of an Investment Grade Rating or downgrade of the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating such that, as a result, the Notes no longer have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The Guarantees of the Guarantors will be automatically released during the Suspension Period pursuant to Section 12.02 (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to reinstatement to the extent required by clause (e) below).

(c) The Issuer will provide the Trustee with notice of each Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date within five Business Days of the occurrence thereof. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes or the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date or provide notice to the holders of the Notes of any such Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

(d) On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(2)(c). Except as described in this paragraph, calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 hereof will be made as though Section 4.04 hereof had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 hereof, except as described in the immediately succeeding sentence. No Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during the Suspension Period, unless such designation would have complied with Section 4.04 hereof when made as if such covenant were in effect during such period; provided that, calculation of amounts available to be made as Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof on and after the Reversion Date shall take into account and deduct any amounts used for such designation during the Suspension Period as if such covenant were in effect throughout the Suspension Period. Any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.07(B)(17), and for purposes of Section 4.05 hereof, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been entered pursuant to clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 4.05 hereof.

(e) As described above, however, no Default or Event of Default (as defined below) will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period and the Issuer and any Subsidiary of the Issuer will be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any of the Suspended Covenants (notwithstanding the reinstatement thereof) under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that, to the extent any such commitment or obligation results in

the making of a Restricted Payment, such Restricted Payment shall be made using the amount available under Section 4.04(1)(iii) hereof, and if not permitted by such clause, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed permitted thereunder and shall be deducted for purposes of calculating the amount available pursuant to such clause (which may not be less than zero). The Issuer shall be required to comply and cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with Section 4.11 hereof after the Reversion Date with respect to any guarantee entered into by such Subsidiary during the Suspension Period to the extent required by Section 4.11 hereof.

(f) For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

(a) the Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving following any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up or conversion, the Division Successor surviving any Division (if other than such Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (the Issuer or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”);

(b) (x) the Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents pursuant to supplemental indentures or other applicable documents or instruments or (y) in the case of a Division where the Issuer is the Dividing Person, the Division Successor shall remain or become a co-issuer of the Notes;

(c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(d) immediately after giving Pro Forma Effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), the Successor Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness as Ratio Debt;

(e) if the Issuer is not the Successor Company, each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, and that the Security Documents shall continue to be in effect and such Guarantor shall cause such amendments, supplements or other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable Law to preserve and protect the Lien on the Collateral owned by such Guarantor;

(f) to the extent any property or assets of the Successor Company, or the Person that is merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Successor Company, are property or assets of the type that would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, the Successor Company will take such action as may be reasonably necessary or required to cause such property and assets to be made subject to a Lien securing the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements

in the manner and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or Intercreditor Agreements and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected, preserved and protected to the extent required by this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements;

(g) Collateral owned by or sold, assigned, conveyed, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of to the Successor Company shall (a) continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents, (b) be subject to the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes and (c) not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens or other Liens as permitted under Section 4.12;

(h) the Successor Company shall become a party to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement by joinder or supplement; and (i) the Successor Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures (if any) comply with this Indenture.

The Successor Company (if other than the Issuer) will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and in such event the Issuer will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

This Section 5.01 will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Qualified Securitization Financings.

(2) Subject to certain provisions in this Indenture governing release of a Guarantee upon the sale or disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Guarantor and other release provisions, no Guarantor will, and the Issuer will not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into, consummate a Division as the Dividing Person (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person unless:

(a) either (i) such Guarantor is the surviving or continuing Person or the Person formed by or surviving or continuing following any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, the Division Successor surviving any Division (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a company, corporation, partnership or limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Guarantor”) and the Successor Guarantor (if other than such Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture, the Guarantee, and the Security Documents, as applicable, pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other applicable documents or instruments, or (ii) such sale or disposition or consolidation, amalgamation or merger is not in violation of Section 4.06;

(b) to the extent any property or assets of the Successor Guarantor, or the Person that is merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Successor Guarantor, are property or assets of the type that would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, the Successor Guarantor will take such action as may be reasonably necessary or required to cause such property and assets to be made subject to a Lien securing the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements in the manner and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or Intercreditor

Agreements, and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected, preserved and protected to the extent required by this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements;

(c) the Collateral owned by or sold, assigned, conveyed, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of to the Successor Guarantor shall (a) continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, (b) be subject to the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes and (c) not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens or other Liens as permitted under Section 4.12;

(d) the Successor Guarantor shall become a party to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement by joinder or supplement; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Guarantor in a Permitted Jurisdiction or may convert into a limited liability company, corporation, partnership or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of any Permitted Jurisdiction so long as the amount of Indebtedness of such Guarantor is not increased thereby, (2) a Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, (3) any Guarantor may convert into a corporation, partnership or limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof and (4) any Guarantor may change its name.

Article VI
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to Notes if:

(1) there is a default in any payment of interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days;

(2) there is a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise;

(3) there is failure by the Issuer for 120 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (with a copy to the Trustee) to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements contained in Section 4.02;

(4) there is a failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary for 90 days after written notice given by the Trustee or the holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (with a copy to the Trustee) to comply with its other obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above) contained in the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents;

(5) there is a failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (other than any Securitization Subsidiary) (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, other than any Securitization

Subsidiary) to pay any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness owing to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or any Qualified Securitization Financing) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds the greater of (I) 25% of Closing Date EBITDA and (II) 25% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the applicable date of determination, or, in each case, its foreign currency equivalent;

(6) the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary (other than any Securitization Subsidiary) (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, other than any Securitization Subsidiary) pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

a) commences a voluntary case;

b) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

c) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or

d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

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

a) is for relief against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

b) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or

c) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary;

d) or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

(8) there is a failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (other than any Securitization Subsidiary) (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, other than any Securitization Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of the greater of (x) 25% of Closing Date EBITDA and (y) 25% of TTM Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as of the applicable date of determination or, in each case, its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(9) the Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) with respect to the Notes ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of the Notes or in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) or the Issuer or any Guarantor that qualifies as a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under this Indenture or any Guarantee with respect to the Notes (except as contemplated by the terms of the Notes or in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) and such Default continues for ten days;

(10) (x) any material provision of any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the Notes, at any time, (a) ceases to be in full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or (b) is declared invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) the Issuer or any Guarantor contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement or (z) the Issuer or any Guarantor denies in writing that it has any further liability under this Indenture or any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement or gives written notice to revoke or rescind any Security Document or the perfected first-priority or second-priority Liens, as applicable, created thereby with respect to such series of

notes, other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements; or

(11) any Security Document covering a material portion of the Collateral for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms of the Notes or in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) ceases to create a valid and perfected first-priority or second-priority Lien, as applicable, on and security interest in any material Collateral covered thereby with respect to the Notes, subject to Permitted Liens, except to the extent that any such perfection or priority is not required pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents or results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Security Documents.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

However, a default under clauses (3) or (4) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Issuer or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes notify the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, of the default and the Issuer does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (3) or (4) hereof after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Trust Officer or the written notice thereof is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, the Trustee must mail, or deliver electronically if held by the DTC, to each holder of the Notes notice of the Default within the later of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee (unless such Default has been cured or waived during such time). Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the noteholders.

Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 a Regulated Bank) (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such holder delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, that such holder is not (or, in the case such holder is the DTC or its nominee, that such holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such noteholder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the holder is the DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of the DTC or its nominee, and the DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee.

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer has initiated litigation in 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 Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy 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 Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that

resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such holder, the percentage of 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 (except for any indemnity which may have been provided to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent), with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have received the Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the foregoing paragraphs shall not apply to any holder that is a Regulated Bank and (ii) the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to 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. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability to the Issuer, any holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction.

The Issuer is also required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after an Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default (unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived during such 30-day period), written notice of such event and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. The Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Defaults or Events of Default unless written notice of an event, which is in fact a Default, has been delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the notice provisions of this Indenture;

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, corporate arrangement or reorganization of the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (5) of Section 6.01, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon

an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes, waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture if such waiver, rescission or cancellation would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than such nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due as a result of such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with Law or this Indenture or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent has a duty to determine whether such actions are prejudicial to any holder). Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee and Collateral Agent will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to them in each of their sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent indemnity or security satisfactory to each of them against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (subject to the Intercreditor Agreements) unless:

(1) such holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing,

(2) holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy,

(3) such holders have offered, and if requested, provided the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense,

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and

(5) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period.

A holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another holder.

Section 6.07 Contractual Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Note held by

such holder, on or after the respective due dates thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim, statements of interest and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Guarantors, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each holder to make 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities. Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI and any other money or property distributable in respect of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, their agents and attorneys for amounts due hereunder;

SECOND: to the holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

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 Article VI does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes.

Section 6.12 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or

impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Article VII

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

(2) The Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default for which a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and, at all times, the Collateral Agent:

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any duty to make any investigation as to any statement contained in any such instance, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions. However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall examine the form of certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(3) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent may be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act (or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, grossly negligent action or its own grossly negligent failure to act) or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (2) of this Section 7.01;

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have

If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail, or deliver electronically if held by the DTC, to each holder of the Notes notice of the Default within the later of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee (unless such Default has been cured or waived during such time). Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may (without obligation) withhold notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the noteholders.

Section 7.06 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time compensation as is agreed to from time to time by the Issuer, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in writing for the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s acceptance of this Indenture and its services hereunder. Neither the Trustee’s nor the Collateral Agent’s compensation shall be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable out-of-pocket compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any predecessor Collateral Agent and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent)) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements, including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, Guarantee, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents against the Issuer or any Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor, any holder or any other Person). Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or any Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuer and such Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no actual or potential conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor needs to pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer need not reimburse any compensation and expense or indemnify against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense Incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under applicable law, when the Trustee or the Collateral Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its reasonable satisfaction.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee or Collateral Agent.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee or the Collateral Agent by so notifying the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the Issuer upon 30 days advance written notice and may appoint a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

(3) A successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall become effective, and the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee or Collateral Agent under this Indenture. The successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent shall send a notice of its succession to the holders. The retiring Trustee or the retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Collateral Agent to the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

(4) If a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, the Issuer or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding

Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent.

(5) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(6) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent.

Section 7.09 Successor by Merger. If the Trustee or the Collateral Agent consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent, as applicable.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

(a) either (A) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by or on behalf of the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (B) all of the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, (2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (3) if redeemable at the option of the Issuer, are to be called for 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, and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable) or to the date of maturity or redemption, as applicable, together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable

Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of the redemption;

(b) the Issuer and/or the Guarantors have paid all other sums due and payable under this Indenture; and

Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 and the rights and immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under this Indenture shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by the immediately preceding sentence with respect to a legal defeasance need not be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity 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; and

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

In addition, without the consent of the holders of at least 662⁄3% 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, the Notes), no amendment, supplement or waiver may (1) have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements) or changing or altering the priority of the security interests of the holders of the Notes in the Collateral under the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, (2) make any change in the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with the application of proceeds of the Collateral that would adversely affect the holders of the Notes or (3) modify the Security Documents or the provisions of this Indenture dealing with Collateral in any manner adverse to the holders of the Notes in any material respect other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements; provided that (x) if any such amendment, supplement or waiver will only affect one series of notes (or less than all series of notes) then outstanding under this Indenture, then only the consent of the holders of at least 662⁄3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such series of the Notes) shall be required.

The consent of the noteholders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

In addition, the holders will be deemed to have consented for purposes of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements (and, if applicable, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) to any of the following amendments and other modifications to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements (or, if applicable, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and the entry into a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement:

(1) (a) to add other parties (or any authorized agent thereof or trustee therefor) holding Parity Lien Indebtedness that is incurred in compliance with the ABL Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Credit Agreement, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and (b) to establish that the Liens on any Collateral securing such Parity Lien Indebtedness shall be pari passu under the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement with the Liens on such Collateral securing the Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, all on the terms provided for in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement in effect immediately prior to such amendment or other modification;

(2) to establish that the Liens on any Collateral securing any Indebtedness replacing the Term Loan Credit Agreement permitted to be incurred under this Indenture shall be pari passu to the Liens on such Collateral securing any Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, all on the terms provided for in the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement in effect immediately prior to such amendment or other modification;

(3) to establish that the Liens on any Current Asset Collateral securing any Indebtedness replacing the ABL Credit Agreement permitted to be incurred under this Indenture shall be senior to the Liens on such Current Asset Collateral securing any Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, and that the Liens on any Fixed Asset Collateral securing any such Indebtedness shall be junior to the Liens on such Fixed Asset Collateral securing any Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, all on the terms provided for in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement in effect immediately prior to such amendment and other modification;

(4) upon any cancellation or termination of the ABL Credit Agreement without a replacement thereof, to establish that the Current Asset Collateral (in addition to the Fixed Asset Collateral) shall secure the Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees on a first-priority basis, subject to the terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement in effect immediately prior to such amendment or other modification; and

(5) to secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors holding Indebtedness secured on a contractually junior basis on the Collateral to the Notes so long as such Indebtedness is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture and to enter into or amend the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

The Trustee and/or Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to enter into the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. Each holder (a) authorizes and instructs the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent to enter

into the Intercreditor Agreements and to subject the Liens on the Trustee and/or the Collateral to the provisions thereof and (b) without any further consent of the holders, authorizes and instructs the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements, any other intercreditor agreement or any amendment (or amendment and restatement) to the Security Documents or an Intercreditor Agreement contemplated by this Indenture. In connection with any such amendment of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Issuer shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent stating that such amendment complies with and/or is permitted by this Indenture, on which the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely without any investigation. In addition, each holder authorizes and directs the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent to enter into any amendments to the Intercreditor Agreements.

No Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee or Collateral Agent to execute any amendment or supplement entered into in connection with adding or releasing a Guarantor or adding or releasing Collateral; provided, that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate in executing such amendment or supplement or delivering such release.

For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment, waiver, modification or deletion of the provisions described under any of the covenants described under Article IV shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of holders of the Notes to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to, or to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes.

Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.

(1) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a holder of a Note shall bind the holder and every subsequent holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such holder or subsequent holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuer or the Trustee of consents by the holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee.

(2) The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer may require the holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determine, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and, upon written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer, the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05 Trustee and Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments. The Trustee, and as applicable, the Collateral Agent, shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. If it does, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, (i) an Officer’s Certificate and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or

permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legally valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required for the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to execute any supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture or releasing a Guarantor pursuant to Section 12.02 or adding or releasing Collateral.

Article XII
GUARANTEE

Section 12.01 Guarantee.

(1) Subject to this Article XII, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior secured basis, to each holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture, the Notes, and the other Notes Documents, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from any Guarantor, and that each Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(2) Each Guarantor waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guaranteed Obligations will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by: (i) the failure of any holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension, acceleration or renewal of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or any increase in the amount of Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent for the Guaranteed Obligations or each Guarantor; (v) the failure of any holder, Trustee or the Collateral Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of each Guarantor, except as provided in Section 12.02(b). Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed.

(3) Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuer be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor.

(4) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a continuing guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection).

(5) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and 12.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(6) Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

(7) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Section 12.01. Each Guarantor will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the holders under the Guaranteed Obligations.

(8) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01.

(9) Upon request of the Trustee, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 12.02 Limitation on Liability.

(1) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by each Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by the applicable Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee or this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or transfer at undervalue or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or capital maintenance or corporate benefit rules applicable to guarantees for obligations of affiliates.

(2) A Guarantee as to any Restricted Subsidiary that is (or becomes) a party hereto on the date hereof or that executes a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 4.11 hereof and provides a guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantee shall be deemed to be automatically and unconditionally released upon any of the following:

(b) (i) the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” or (ii) the occurrence of any other event following which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary in a manner not in violation of this Indenture; provided that, no such release will occur if such Subsidiary continues to be a guarantor under the Term Loan Credit Agreement;

(c) the release or discharge of the guarantee by, or direct obligation of, such Guarantor of the Obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any other Parity Lien Indebtedness which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes, including a release or discharge by or as a result of payment in connection with an enforcement of remedies under such guarantee or direct obligation, but other than a release or discharge by or as a result of payment under or the termination or repayment of the Term Loan Credit Agreement or such other Parity Lien Indebtedness;

(d) the Issuer’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under Article VIII or if the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged (including pursuant to a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or through redemption or repurchase of all of the Notes or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(e) such Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest securing Indebtedness or other exercise of remedies in respect thereof in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements;

(f) upon the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of such Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor or upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor, in each case, in a manner not in violation of this Indenture;

(g) as described under Article IX: and

(h) (i) such Guarantor becoming an Immaterial Subsidiary or (ii) such Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary (other than pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof as a result of a transfer of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary to an Affiliate of the Issuer); provided that, no such release will occur if such Subsidiary continues to be a guarantor under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

(3) To the extent the Issuer requests evidence of release of a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 12.02 or authorization from the Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee with respect to such release.

Section 12.04 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 12.05 No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 12.06 Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XII, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance

and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 12.07 Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Guarantor of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Article XII and shall guarantee the Notes. No Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C for the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture.

Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the holders in the Collateral (including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the holders or the Trustee).

Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in their 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. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in their possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which they accord their 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 Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in good faith.
