(1)In this Indenture and in each other Note Document, unless otherwise specifically indicated, (a) the term “consolidated” with respect to any Person refers to such Person on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that following the consummation of the Reciprocal Exchange Transaction, “consolidated” with respect to the Company shall exclude all variable interest entities; (b) all accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Indenture shall be prepared in conformity with GAAP; (c) any financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Indenture shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number); and (d) the amount of unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents on any date of determination shall refer to the aggregate amount of cash and Cash Equivalents that would not appear as “restricted” on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company in accordance with GAAP (it being understood that for purposes of this determination if there is a change in GAAP after the Issue Date which would adversely change what is considered unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents, then the Company shall be permitted for purposes of determining the Liquidity Covenant in Section 4.16 to continue to apply GAAP for this purpose as in effect as of the Issue Date). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, the financial statements of the Company filed with the Commission shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect in the United States from time to time.

(2)For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test or compliance with any covenant determined by reference to Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Interest Expense, Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (3) of this Section 1.04) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously 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 EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense 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 Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.04, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Interest Expense) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.04; provided that with respect to any pro forma calculations to be made in connection with any acquisition or investment in respect of which financial statements for the relevant target are not available for the same Test Period for which internal financial statements of the Company are available, the Company shall

49


determine such pro forma calculations on the basis of the available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other basis as determined on a commercially reasonable basis by the Company.

(3)Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction or the implementation of an operational initiative or operational change, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the pro forma adjustments described in the definition of “Consolidated Coverage Ratio”, as well as, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies resulting from or relating to any Specified Transaction which is being given pro forma effect that are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken (in the good faith determination of the Company) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period) and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Company, (B) except as set forth in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”, such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken no later than eighteen (18) months after the date of such Specified Transaction or implementation of an operational initiative or operational change, and (C) no amounts shall be added pursuant to this Section 1.04(3) to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period.

(4)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.04 or in any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into, at the election of the Company, no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the Consolidated EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such disposition shall have been consummated.

(5)If at any time any action or transaction meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of exceptions, thresholds or baskets set forth in any section in Article 4 or any definition used in any such section, the Company may divide, classify and/or designate such action or transaction (or any portion thereof), and later (on one or more occasions) may re-divide, re-classify and/or re-designate such action or transaction (or any portion thereof), as consummated in reliance on one or more of such exceptions, thresholds and baskets in such section as the Company may determine in its sole discretion from time to time, including by re-dividing, re-classifying and/or re- designating any action or transaction originally consummated in reliance on one or more fixed exceptions, thresholds or baskets (“fixed baskets”) as consummated in reliance on any available incurrence-based exception, threshold or basket (“incurrence-based baskets”) available at the time of such re-division, re-classification and/or re-designation (for the avoidance of doubt,

50


which determination shall be made without duplication of such applicable action or transaction to be re-divided, re-classified and/or re-designated) and if any ratio or financial test set forth in any applicable incurrence-based basket would be satisfied at any time after consummation of such action or transaction, such re-division, re-classification and/or re- designation shall be deemed to have automatically occurred if not elected by the Company.

(a)The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof.  Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of such Note.  Accrued interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.

(b)The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at the close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date.  The principal amount of any Note (x) in the case of any Physical Note, shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the contiguous United States, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office and (y) in the case of any Global Note, shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.  The Company shall pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, interest (i) on any Physical Notes (A) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of these Notes at their address as it appears in the Note Register and (B) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000, either by check mailed to each Holder or, upon application by such a Holder to the Note Registrar not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Note Registrar to the contrary or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

(c)Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the rate borne by the Notes plus one percent, subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i)The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days

52


after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided.  Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be delivered to each Holder not less than 10 days prior to such special record date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so delivered, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this ‎Section 2.03(c).

(ii)The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.04Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes.  The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary or any of its Executive or Senior Vice Presidents.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 19.10‎), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.  Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

53


In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.

Section 2.05Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary.

(a)The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to ‎Section 4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes.  Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time.  The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.  The Company may appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with ‎Section 4.02.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this ‎Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to ‎Section 4.02.  Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer.

54


None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with ‎Article 15, or (iii) any Notes selected for redemption in accordance with ‎Article 16, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(b)So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of ‎Section 2.05(c) all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

No transfer of any Note required to bear the legend above will be registered by the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been checked.

Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) (i) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become effective or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (ii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, shall, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this ‎Section 2.05, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this ‎Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted CUSIP number.  The Company shall be entitled to instruct the Custodian in writing to so surrender any Global Note as to which any of the conditions set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied, and, upon such instruction, the Custodian shall so surrender such Global Note for exchange; and any new Global Note so exchanged therefor shall not bear the restrictive legend specified in this ‎Section 2.05(c) and shall not be assigned a restricted

56


CUSIP number.  The Company shall notify the Trustee promptly after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Notes or any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act.

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act.  The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note.  Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.

If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.

Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this ‎Section 2.05(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Trustee.  Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.

At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased, redeemed or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased, redeemed or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing

57


procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

58


AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

Any such Common Stock (i) that has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be effective at the time of such transfer or (ii) that has been sold pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, shall, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this ‎Section 2.05(d).

(e)Any Note or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that is repurchased or owned by any Affiliate of the Company (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months immediately preceding) may not be resold by such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144).  The Company shall cause any Note that is repurchased or owned by it to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with ‎Section 2.08.

(f)The Trustee shall not have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of 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.

(g)Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

Section 2.06Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes.  In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate

59


and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen.  In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require.  No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen.  In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase or is about to be converted in accordance with ‎Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.  To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, redemption, conversion or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07Temporary Notes.  Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed).  Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for

60


temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company.  Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Physical Notes.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to ‎Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes.  Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc.  The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.  All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it.  Except for any Notes surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, or as otherwise expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture, no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange for any Notes surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order.

Section 2.09CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.10Additional Notes; Repurchases.

(a)The Company may, with the written consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and notwithstanding ‎Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue Additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Original Notes (other than differences in the issue date, the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $40,000,000; provided that if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Original Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number.  Prior to the issuance of any such Additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate to cover (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, (b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes and (c) such matters, in addition to those required by Section 19.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request.

61


(b)The Original Notes and the Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture.  Holders of the Original Notes and the Additional Notes will vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one class, and none of the Holders of the Original Notes or the Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent.

(c)The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives.  The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with ‎Section 2.08 and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon their repurchase.

Section 4.10Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness.

(a)The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, enter into a Guarantee of or otherwise become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness, and the Company shall not issue any Disqualified Equity Interests, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any preferred stock or preferred interests.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing covenant will not prohibit the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries from incurring Permitted Indebtedness.

(b)The accrual of interest, the accrual of dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, the reclassification of operating leases as Capital Leases due to a change in accounting principles and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock or preferred interests in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock or preferred interests, as applicable, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.  For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred (or, in the case of revolving Indebtedness, on the date such Indebtedness was first committed); provided that if any such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

67


(i)the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(ii)the amount of Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock or preferred interests deemed to be outstanding at any time for purposes of this Indenture will be the maximum amount that the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries may become obligated to pay upon the maturity of (or the liquidation preference if perpetual), or pursuant to any mandatory redemption provisions of, such Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock or preferred interests, exclusive of accrued dividends (other than dividends paid-in-kind);

(iii)the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(iv)in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(1)the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(2)the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing covenant in this Section 4.10 will cease to apply upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof or at such time as less than 10.00% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.

Section 4.11Limitation on Liens.

(a)The Company shall not, nor will it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien to secure Indebtedness on any property, asset or right now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing covenant in this Section 4.11 will cease to apply upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof or at such time as less than 10.00% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.  Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the foregoing covenant shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the earlier of (x) the termination of such Indebtedness and (y) the termination of the foregoing covenant.

Section 4.12Limitation on Restricted Payments.  (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to:

Section 4.13Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

72


(i)the Company (or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), such determination being made as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Capital Stock issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii)at least 75.00% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.  For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash consideration:

(1)any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms contractually subordinated to the Notes) (1) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, has been released or indemnified against further liability or (2) in respect of which neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary following such Asset Sale has any obligation; and

(2)the amount of any securities or notes received by the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries from such transferee that are within 180 days repaid, converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash or Cash Equivalents shall be deemed cash.

(b)If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with an Asset Sale is repaid, converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash or Cash Equivalents, then the date of such repayment, conversion, sale or other disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this covenant.

(c)Asset Sale Offer.

(i)If the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries receive Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales of more than $2,500,000 in excess of the Asset Sale Threshold (such excess Net Cash Proceeds, the “Excess Proceeds” and such initial event and the closing date of each subsequent Asset Sale thereafter, an “Asset Sale Trigger”), the Company will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders to repurchase Notes for an amount of cash equal to 50.00% of such Excess Proceeds (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Net Cash Proceeds previously applied to the repurchase of any Notes pursuant to any preceding Asset Sale Offer) (the “Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount”), on the date (the “Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business Days or more than 35 Business Days following the date of such Asset Sale Trigger, at a repurchase price per Note equal to 100.00% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, plus any remaining amounts that would be owed to, but excluding, the Maturity Date (the “Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price”), unless the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and

73


unpaid interest (to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date) to the Holder of record of such Note as of such Regular Record Date, and the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of such Note to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 4.13(c), plus any remaining amounts that would be owed to, but excluding, the Maturity Date.

(ii)To the extent that the aggregate Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount (such shortfall constituting a “Net Cash Proceeds Deficiency”), the Company may use the Net Cash Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes.

(iii)Repurchases of Notes under this Section 4.13(c) shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(1)delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 5 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date; and

(2)delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the office of the Paying Agent, or book- entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price therefor;

provided, that, with respect to any Asset Sale Offer, if Holders opt to tender for repurchase pursuant to this Section 4.13(c) Notes, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price of which would in the aggregate exceed the Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount, then the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be repurchased shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of Notes for which the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price does not exceed the Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount.  If fewer than all tendered Notes are to be repurchased pursuant to the preceding sentence and (x) the Notes to be repurchased are Global Notes, the Notes to be repurchased shall be selected by the Company in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or (y) the Notes to be repurchased are not Global Notes, the Company shall select the Notes or portions thereof of a Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be repurchased (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to maintain the authorized denominations of the Notes).  If any Note selected for partial repurchase is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for repurchase.

The Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:

74


(A)in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(B)the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be in minimum denominations of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(C)that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice must comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 4.13(c) shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 4.13(c)(vi).

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(iv)On or before the 20th Business Day after the occurrence of the effective date of an Asset Sale Trigger, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (in the case of a paying agent other than the Trustee) a written notice (the “Asset Sale Offer Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Asset Sale Trigger and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof.  In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.  Each Asset Sale Offer Company Notice shall specify:

(1)a brief description of the Asset Sale Trigger;

(2)the effective date of the Asset Sale Trigger;

(3)the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Section 4.13(c);

(4)the Asset Sale Offer Consideration Amount;

(5)the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price;

(6)the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date;

(7)the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;

75


(8)if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate;

(9)that the Notes with respect to which an Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(10)the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.13(c).  Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company will publish such information on its website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

At the Company’s written request, given at least five days prior to the date the Asset Sale Offer Company Notice is to be sent, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Asset Sale Offer Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(v)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders in connection with an Asset Sale Offer if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).  The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

(vi)For purposes of this Section 4.13(c), the Paying Agent may be any agent, depositary, tender agent, Paying Agent or other agent appointed by the Company to accomplish the purposes set forth herein.

(vii)An Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 4.13(c)(vii) at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date, specifying:

(1)the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof,

76


(2)if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(3)the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice of withdrawal must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

(viii)The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04 on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date (subject to extension in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law) an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price.  Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not validly withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions of this Section 4.13(c)) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 4.13(c) by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.  The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the amount necessary to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price.

(ix)If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date, or, if extended in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law, such later date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes on the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date or, if extended in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law, such later date (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes with respect to the Notes will terminate on the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date or, if extended in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law, such later date (other than (x) the right to receive the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and (y) to the extent not included in the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price, accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable).

(1)comply with the provisions of any tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;

(2)file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and

(3)otherwise comply in all material respects with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Section 4.13(c) to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Section 4.13(c) subject to postponement in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable law.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to the Company’s obligations to purchase the Notes upon an Asset Sale Trigger, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of any Surplus Note to one or more third parties shall not be used by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to fund the purchase price for any acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of any other Person or division or line of business of a Person (whether structured through one or more transactions as an asset acquisition, acquisition of the Equity Interests of any Person, merger or consolidation).

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing covenant in this Section 4.13 will cease to apply upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof or at such time as less than 10.00% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.

Section 4.14Further Assurances.

(a)Promptly following (and in any event, within the applicable time periods specified by any Related Collateral Document) the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s acquisition of any assets or property (other than Excluded Property (as defined in the Security Agreement)) after the Issue Date, which in each case constitutes Collateral (“After-Acquired Collateral”), the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such security instruments and financing statements as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a first-priority perfected security interest in such After-Acquired Collateral and to have such After-Acquired Collateral added to the Collateral, in each case, to the extent required by and

78


subject to the limitations under this Indenture (including the limitations set forth in the definition of “Collateral Requirement”), the Related Collateral Documents and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Collateral to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(b)The Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, at its own cost and expense, execute any and all further Related Collateral Documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request (including without limitation, the delivery of Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel), in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and Liens created or intended to be created by the Related Collateral Documents, in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in this Indenture (including the limitations set forth in the definition of “Collateral Requirement”), the Related Collateral Documents and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.  In addition, from time to time, the Company shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor, to reasonably promptly secure the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Related Collateral Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected first-priority security interests in and Liens on the Collateral, in each case, to the extent required and subject to the limitations under this Indenture (including the limitations set forth in the definition of “Collateral Requirement”), the Related Collateral Documents and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.  Such security interests and Liens will be created under the Related Collateral Documents and other security agreements and other instruments and documents.

Section 4.15Additional Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a)On and after the Issue Date, the Company will cause each of the Company’s Subsidiaries that is not an Excluded Subsidiary to promptly (but in any event within 60 calendar days of (i) such Subsidiary that was previously deemed an Excluded Subsidiary ceasing to be an Excluded Subsidiary, or (ii) the acquisition or formation of a Subsidiary which is not an Excluded Subsidiary):

(i)execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, pursuant to which such Subsidiary will agree to be a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and be bound by the terms of this Indenture applicable to Subsidiary Guarantors, including, but not limited to, Article 18provided that, if reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that: (A) such Note Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized by such Subsidiary Guarantor; and (B) such Note Guarantee and joinders to any applicable Related Collateral Documents pursuant to Section 4.13(b) constitute a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law) and other exceptions; and

79


(ii)waive and not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Company or any other Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Subsidiary under its Note Guarantee.

Section 4.16Minimum Liquidity.

(a)The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall maintain Liquidity of at least $25,000,000 as of the last day of each calendar month (the “Liquidity Covenant” and such date, the “Test Date”).

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries fail to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Covenant as of the Test Date, at any time thereafter until the 45th day after such Test Date, the Company shall have the right to issue common Qualified Equity Interests or raise other capital (provided such other capital raises are reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding) for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the Company as cash common Qualified Equity Interests or other permitted capital raises (collectively, the “Cure Right” and such period, the “Cure Period”), and upon the receipt by the Company of the net cash proceeds of such issuance that are not otherwise utilized for any other purpose (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Company of such Cure Right such Liquidity Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.  If, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Liquidity Covenant, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Liquidity Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Liquidity Covenant that would have occurred shall be deemed cured for all purposes under this Indenture and the other Note Documents. If, on the last day of the Cure Period after giving effect to the Cure Right, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are still not in compliance with the requirements of Section 4.16(a), then the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate notifying the Trustee of such failure to comply.

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the term of this Indenture, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than one time.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing covenant in this Section 4.16 will cease to apply upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change described in

80


clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof or at such time as less than 10.00% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding.

Section 4.17Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a)The Company may at any time after the Issue Date designate (a “Designation”) any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after such designation on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no Subsidiary that owns, or which has any Subsidiary which owns, any Qualified Equity Interests or Indebtedness of, or owns or holds any Lien on, any Collateral of, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than solely any Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated) may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, (iii) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for purposes of any Indebtedness other than the Notes, (iv) the Subsidiary to be so designated and its Subsidiaries do not at the time of Designation have and do not thereafter incur any Indebtedness pursuant to which the Holders of such Indebtedness has recourse to any of the assets of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, (v) either (x) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total consolidated assets of $1,000 or less or (y) if such Subsidiary has consolidated assets greater than $1,000, then the Company could make a Restricted Payment at the time of such Designation in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary under Section 4.12 and such amount is thereafter treated as an “Investment” for purposes of calculating the amount of Restricted Payments thereunder, and (vi) other than with respect to Subsidiaries to be so designated that are regulated Subsidiaries or variable interest entities, immediately after giving effect to the designation of such Subsidiary, the total consolidated assets of all other Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not exceed 10.00% of the total consolidated assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.  The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date shall constitute an Investment by the Company therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s (as applicable) investment therein.  The Designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (x) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (y) a return on any Investment by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value at the date of such designation of the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s (as applicable) Investment in such Subsidiary.

(b)The Company may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) only if, immediately after giving effect such Revocation:

(i)the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would not be less than immediately prior to such Revocation, in each case on a pro forma basis taking into account such Revocation;

81


(ii)all Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of this Indenture; and

(iii)no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing after giving effect to such Revocation.

(c)Each Designation and Revocation must be evidenced by promptly delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying compliance with the preceding provisions.  A Revocation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary.

ARTICLE 5

83


(k)(i) any Related Collateral Document or any material provision thereof, after delivery thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or the Related Collateral Documents, shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms hereof and thereof, including as a result of a transaction not prohibited under this Indenture) cease to be in full force and effect with respect to any material portion of the Collateral, (ii) such security interest in a material portion of the Collateral created, or purported to be created, by the Security Agreement shall for any reason cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby, except to the extent that any such perfection or priority is not required pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Collateral Requirement” or the Related Collateral Documents or any loss thereof results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates or possessory collateral actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Related Collateral Documents, or (iii) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under any such Related Collateral Document, in each case, except for a failure that would not be material to the Holders of the Notes and would not materially and adversely affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Default under clauses (f), (k) or (l) of this Section 6.01 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company of such default or the Holders of not less than 25.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee of the Default, and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice; provided that a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken and reported publicly or to holders more than two (2) years prior to such notice of Default.  Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a notice of Default.

Section 6.02Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment.  If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be 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), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in ‎Section 6.01(i) or ‎Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25.00% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may (and the Trustee, at the written request of such Holders, shall) declare 100.00% of the principal of, premium, if any, of and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.  If an Event of Default specified in ‎Section 6.01(i) or ‎Section 6.01(j) with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, 100.00% of the principal of, and

84


accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable.

The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal or interest of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, plus one percent) and amounts due to the Trustee and Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.06, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09 and amounts due to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.06 have been paid, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences and 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 or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Repurchase Price, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes, (ii) a failure to repurchase any Notes when required or (iii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 6.03Additional Interest.  Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in ‎Section 4.06(b) shall, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day following the occurrence of such an Event of Default during which such Event of Default is continuing.  Subject to the second immediately succeeding paragraph, Additional Interest payable pursuant to this ‎Section 6.03 shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any Additional Interest payable pursuant to ‎Section 4.06(d).  If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes.  On the 366th day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to file is not cured or waived prior to such 366th day), the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in ‎Section 6.02.  The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth

85


in ‎‎Section 4.06(b).  In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this ‎Section 6.03 or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in ‎Section 6.02.

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 365 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 365-day period.  Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in ‎Section 6.02.

In no event shall Additional Interest payable at the Company’s election for failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) as set forth in this Section 6.03, together with any Additional Interest that may accrue as a result of the Company’s failure to file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than Current Reports on Form 8-K), pursuant to Section 4.06(d), accrue at a rate in excess of 1.00% per annum pursuant to this Indenture, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.

Section 6.04Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor.  If an Event of Default described in clause ‎(a) or ‎(b) of ‎Section 6.01 shall have occurred, the Company shall, following the demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, plus one percent.  If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith promptly following such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the Collateral of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements

86


and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under ‎Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee and Collateral Agent any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under ‎Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.  To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or to accept or to adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting any of the Note Obligations 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.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to ‎Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to ‎Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.05Application of Monies Collected by Trustee.  Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this ‎Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of

87


the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

(e)no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to ‎Section 6.09;

it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is unduly prejudicial to any other Holder), or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein).  For the protection and enforcement of this ‎Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Repurchase Price, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be.

Section 6.07Proceedings by Trustee.  In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.08Remedies Cumulative and Continuing.  Except as provided in the last paragraph of ‎‎Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this ‎‎Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of

Section 6.10Notice of Defaults.  The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, deliver to all Holders notice of all Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price, the Repurchase Price, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if

90


and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 6.11Undertaking to Pay Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10.00% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with ‎Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price, the Repurchase Price, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note, or receive the consideration due upon conversion, in accordance with the provisions of ‎Article 14.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under applicable law, when the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and agents and any authenticating agent

95


incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in ‎Section 6.01(i) or ‎Section 6.01(j) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Section 7.08Eligibility of Trustee.  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act (as if the Trust Indenture Act were applicable hereto) to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.  If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 7.09Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

(b)In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

96


(i)the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

then, in either case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of ‎Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Indenture) may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee.  Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c)The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, as determined in accordance with ‎Section 8.04, may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in ‎Section 7.09(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

(d)Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this ‎Section 7.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in ‎Section 7.10.

Section 7.10Acceptance by Successor Trustee.  Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of ‎Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act.  Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers.  Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of ‎Section 7.06.

97


No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this ‎Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of ‎Section 7.08.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this ‎Section 7.10, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders.  If the Company fails to deliver such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be delivered at the expense of the Company.

Section 7.11Succession by Merger, Etc.  Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of ‎Section 7.08.

In case at the time such successor 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 or authenticating agent appointed by such 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 or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor 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; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.12Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company.  Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective.  The Trustee shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer that the Company has indicated to the Trustee should receive such application actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 8.01Action by Holders.  Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver

99

Section 8.02Proof of Execution by Holders.  Subject to the provisions of ‎Section 7.01, ‎Section 7.02 and ‎Section 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee.  The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.  The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in ‎Section 9.06.

Section 8.03Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners.  The Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal (including any Redemption Price, any Repurchase Price, any Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of and (subject to ‎Section 2.03) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.  The sole registered holder of a Global Note shall be the Depositary or its nominee.  All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common Stock so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares deliverable upon any such Note.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 8.04Company-Owned Notes Disregarded.  In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned or held by the Company, by any Subsidiary thereof or by any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer knows are so

100


owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this ‎Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Subsidiary thereof or an Affiliate of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof.  In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.  Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to ‎Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 8.05Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound.  At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in ‎Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in ‎Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note.  Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

(c)Section 11.02(a)(i) shall not apply to any transaction in which the Subsidiary Guarantor consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the sole purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Subsidiary Guarantor in another jurisdiction or changing its legal structure to a corporation or other entity.  Section 11.02(a) shall not apply to any transaction in which any Subsidiary Guarantor consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 11.03Successor Corporation to Be Substituted.  In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company (if other than the Company) or a Surviving Guarantor (if not the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor), as applicable, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and/or punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture and the Related Collateral Documents to be performed by the Company or Surviving Guarantor, as applicable, such Successor Company (if not the Company) or Surviving Guarantor, as applicable, shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, shall be substituted for the

110


Company or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall be discharged from its obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Related Collateral Documents (except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).  Such Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.  All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.  In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this ‎Article 11 the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this ‎Article 11) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

Section 11.04Opinion of Counsel to Be Given to Trustee.  No such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease shall be effective unless the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, complies with the provisions of this ‎Article 11, provided that no Opinion of Counsel shall be required for a consolidation, merger or transfer contemplated by Section 11.02(c).

CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 14.01Conversion Privilege.

(a)Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this ‎Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in ‎Section 14.01(b), at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 1, 2028 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in ‎Section 14.01(b), and (ii) regardless of the conditions described in ‎Section 14.01(b), on or after July 1, 2028 and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 39.9956 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this ‎‎Article 14, the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of ‎Section 14.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).

(b)(i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 1, 2028, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time during the five Business Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with this subsection 14.01(b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on each such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day.  The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this subsection 14.01(b)(i) and the definition of “Trading Price” set forth in this Indenture.  The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company pursuant to the definition of “Trading Price”, along with appropriate contact information for each.  The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes) unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes on any Trading Day would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the

112


Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate on such Trading Day, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) to determine, or if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Company shall determine, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate.  If (x) the Company is not acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, and the Company does not instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, or if the Company instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination, or (y) the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent and the Company fails to make such determination when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each Trading Day of such failure.  If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee).  If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98.00% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate for such date, the Company shall so notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee).

(ii)If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 1, 2028, the Company elects to:

(1)issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or

(2)distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Company’s assets, securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10.00% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution,

then, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) (such notification, the “Certain Distributions Notification”) (x) at least 50 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution or (y) at least 15 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution (provided that, if the Company provides the Certain Distributions Notification in accordance with this clause (y) but not in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (x), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 14.02 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Company shall be required to settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date occurring during the period from, and including, the date of such Certain

113


Distributions Notification to, and including, the Record Date for such issuance or distribution (or the date of the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place) using Physical Settlement, and the Company shall so notify the Holders of such required Settlement Method in such Certain Distributions Notification).  Once the Company has delivered the Certain Distributions Notification, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, in each case, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.

(iii)If a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change (as defined in Section 1.01 and determined after giving effect to any exceptions to or exclusions from such definition, but, solely for purposes of this Section 14.01(b)(ii), without regard to the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof) occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 1, 2028, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to ‎Section 15.02, or if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its assets that occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 1, 2028, in each case, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the date that is 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction (or, if later, the earlier of (x) the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such transaction and (y) the actual effective date of such transaction) until 35 Trading Days after the actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.  The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) (x) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction or (y) if the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction at least 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, within one Business Day of the date upon which the Company receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware, of such transaction, but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction.

(iv)Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 1, 2028, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2023 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130.00% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day.  The Company shall determine at the beginning of each calendar quarter commencing after June 30, 2023 whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this clause ‎(iv) and shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this clause (iv).

114


(v)If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption pursuant to ‎Article 16 prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding July 1, 2028, then a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.  After that time, the right to convert on account of the delivery of such Redemption Notice shall expire, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of Notes may convert its Notes until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for.

Section 14.02Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a)Subject to this ‎Section 14.02 and ‎Section 14.07(a), upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection ‎(j) of this ‎Section 14.02 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection ‎(j) of this ‎Section 14.02 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this ‎Section 14.02.

(i)All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the Company’s issuance of a Redemption Notice with respect to the Notes and prior to the related Redemption Date, and all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after July 1, 2028 shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.

(ii)Except for any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the Company’s issuance of a Redemption Notice with respect to the Notes but prior to the related Redemption Date, and any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after July 1, 2028, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions with the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates.

(iii)If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or one of the periods described in the third immediately succeeding set of parentheses, as the case may be), the Company elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company, through the Trustee, shall deliver such Settlement Notice to converting Holders no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs (x) after the date of issuance of a Redemption Notice with respect to the Notes and prior to the related Redemption Date, in such Redemption Notice, or (y) on or after July 1, 2028, no later than July 1, 2028).  If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion

115


Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be equal to $1,000.  Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.  If the Company delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be $1,000.

(iv)The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

(1)if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date;

(2)if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(3)if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 40 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.

(v)The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation Period.  Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional shares of Common Stock.  The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(vi)By notice to Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), the Company may, prior to July 1, 2028, at its option, irrevocably elect to satisfy its Conversion Obligation with respect to the Notes through any Settlement Method that the Company is then permitted to elect for all Conversion Dates occurring subsequent to delivery of such notice.  Concurrently with providing notice to all Holders,

116


the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of an election to irrevocably fix the Settlement Method, the Company shall promptly file with or furnish to the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing, issue a press release announcing or post on the Company’s website an announcement, that the Company has elected to irrevocably fix the Settlement Method (and describing such Settlement Method).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such irrevocable election shall affect any Settlement Method theretofore elected (or deemed to be elected) with respect to any Note pursuant to this Section 14.02. For the avoidance of doubt, such an irrevocable election, if made, shall be effective without the need to amend this Indenture or the Notes, including pursuant to Section 10.01(g).  However, the Company may nonetheless choose to execute such an amendment at its option.

(b)Subject to ‎Section 14.02(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in ‎Section 14.02(h) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in ‎Section 14.02(h).  The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this ‎Article 14 on the Conversion Date for such conversion.  No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, a Repurchase Notice or an Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, Repurchase Notice or Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Notice, as applicable, in accordance with ‎Section 15.03.

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

(c)A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection ‎(b) above.  Except as set forth in ‎‎Section 14.07(a), the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Company elects Physical Settlement, or on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method.  If any shares of Common Stock are due to a converting Holder, the Company

117


shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver (if applicable) to the converting Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled, in book-entry format through the Depositary, in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.

(d)In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion.

(e)If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax.  The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(f)Except as provided in ‎Section 14.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 14.

(g)Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(h)Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below.  The Company’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.  Upon a conversion of Notes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the open of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion.  Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted;

118


provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (4) a Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the second Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date;  or (5) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.  Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date shall receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Regular Record Date.

(i)The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Combination Settlement), as the case may be.  Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.

(j)The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement).  For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

Section 14.03[Intentionally Omitted].

Section 14.04Adjustment of Conversion Rate.  The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this ‎Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(a)If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

119


CR’ = CR0 Î

OS’

OS0

where,

CR0    =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR’    =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date;

OS0    =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, split or combination); and

OS’    =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this ‎Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this ‎Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b)If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR0 Î

OS0 + X

OS0 + Y

where,

CR0    =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

CR’    =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS0    =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

120


X    =

the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y    =

the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any increase made under this ‎Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance.  To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.  If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this ‎Section 14.04(b) and for the purpose of ‎Section 14.01(b)(ii)(1), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c)If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to ‎Section 14.04(a) or ‎Section 14.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in ‎Section 14.04(d) shall apply, (iii) payments in respect of tender or exchange offers as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(e), (iv) distributions of Reference Property upon conversion of, or in exchange for, the Common Stock in a Merger Event, and (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this ‎Section 14.04(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR0 Î

SP0

SP0 – FMV

where,

121


CR0    =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR’    =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP0    =

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV  =

the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this ‎Section 14.04(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.  If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.  If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this ‎Section 14.04(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this ‎Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR0 Î

FMV0 + MP0

MP0

where,

CR0        =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;

CR’        =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

FMV0    =

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of “Last Reported Sale

122


Price” as set forth in ‎Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP0       =

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.

For purposes of this ‎Section 14.04(c) (and subject in all respect to ‎Section 14.11), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this ‎Section 14.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this ‎Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this ‎Section 14.04(c).  If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof).  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this ‎Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case

123


may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of ‎Section 14.04(a), ‎Section 14.04(b) and this ‎Section 14.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this ‎Section 14.04(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:

(A)a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which ‎Section 14.04(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B)a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which ‎Section 14.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this ‎Section 14.04(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this ‎Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by ‎Section 14.04(a) and ‎Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of ‎Section 14.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of ‎Section 14.04(b).

(d)If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR0 Î

SP0

SP0 C

where,

CR0     =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR’     =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP0      =

the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

124


C       =

the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

Any increase pursuant to this ‎Section 14.04(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution.  If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e)If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

CR’ = CR0 Î

AC + (SP’ Î OS’)

OS0 – SP’

where,

CR0     =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR’     =

the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC      =

the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0     =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS’     =

the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of

125


Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

SP’      =

the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under this ‎Section 14.04(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date that such tender or exchange offer expires to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer to, and including, such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.

(f)Notwithstanding this ‎Section 14.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under ‎Section 14.02(i) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this ‎Section 14.04, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting Holder.  Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(g)Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(h)In addition to those adjustments required by clauses ‎(a), ‎(b), ‎(c), (d) and (e) of this ‎Section 14.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest.  In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules

126


of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event.  Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall deliver to the Holder of each Note a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ‎Article 14, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i)upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(ii)upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

(iii)upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause ‎(ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv)solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(v)for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(j)All calculations and other determinations under this ‎Article 14 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.

(k)Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.  Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect.  Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(l)For purposes of this ‎Section 14.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the

127


Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

Section 14.05Adjustments of Prices.  Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, an Observation Period), the Company shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.

Section 14.06Shares to Be Fully Paid.  The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.

Section 14.07Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.

(a)In the case of:

(i)any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

(ii)any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Company,

(iii)any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or

(iv)any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under ‎Section 10.01(h) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes;

128


provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (A) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with ‎Section 14.02 and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with ‎Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with ‎Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such Merger Event and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock.  If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Merger Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date, multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this ‎Article 14.  If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in ‎Article 15.

(b)When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection ‎(a) of this ‎Section 14.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver notice thereof to all Holders.  The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution thereof.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

129


(c)The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this ‎Section 14.07.  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, as set forth in ‎Section 14.01 and ‎Section 14.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event.

(d)The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

Section 14.08Certain Covenants.

(a)The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b)The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c)The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 14.09Responsibility of Trustee.  The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same.  The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to ‎Section 14.07 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such ‎Section 14.07 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of ‎Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be

130


protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.  Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by ‎Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in ‎Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in ‎Section 14.01(b).

Section 14.10Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.  In case of any:

(a)action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to ‎Section 14.04 or ‎Section 14.11;

(b)Merger Event; or

(c)voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 14.11Stockholder Rights Plans.  If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time.  However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock Distributed Property as provided in ‎Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

131


Section 14.12Exchange In Lieu Of Conversion.  (a) When a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Conversion Agent to deliver, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, such Notes to one or more financial institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion.  In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the Designated Financial Institution(s) must agree to timely pay or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Common Stock, at the Company’s election, that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to ‎Section 14.02 (the “Conversion Consideration”).  If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, before the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, notify in writing the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Holder surrendering its Notes for conversion that the Company has made the Exchange Election, and the Company shall notify the Designated Financial Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration.

(b)Any Notes delivered to the Designated Financial Institution(s) shall remain outstanding, subject to applicable procedures of the Depositary.  If the Designated Financial Institution(s) agree(s) to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the related Conversion Consideration, or if such Designated Financial Institution does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company shall pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the relevant Conversion Consideration as, and at the time, required pursuant to this Indenture as if the Company had not made the Exchange Election.

(c)The Company’s designation of any Designated Financial Institution(s) to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require such Designated Financial Institution(s) to accept any Notes.

Section 14.13Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, for so long as the Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, but subject to Section 14.13(f), no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon conversion of any Note, and no Note will be convertible by the Holder thereof, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance, delivery, conversion or convertibility would result in such Holder, or a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) that includes such Holder, beneficially owning in excess of 9.9% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the restrictions set forth in this sentence, the “Ownership Limitation”). For these purposes, beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on the convertibility of any Note pursuant to this Section 14.13 will not, in themselves, cause such Note to cease to be outstanding (and interest will continue to accrue on any portion of a Note that has been tendered for conversion and whose convertibility is suspended pursuant to this Section 14.13), and such limitations will cease to apply if and when such Note’s convertibility and conversion will not violate this Section 14.13. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 14.13 will affect the Company’s ability to elect any Settlement Method in accordance with this Indenture.

132


(b)If any Conversion Consideration otherwise due upon the conversion of any Note is not delivered as a result of the Ownership Limitation, then the Company’s obligation to deliver such Conversion Consideration will not be extinguished, and the Company will deliver such Conversion Consideration as soon as reasonably practicable after the Holder of such Note provides written confirmation to the Company that such delivery will not contravene the Ownership Limitation. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any Note will be void and have no effect to the extent, and only to the extent, that such delivery would contravene the Ownership Limitation.

(c)The satisfaction, by a Holder of any Note, of the requirements set forth in Section 14.02(b) to convert such Note will be deemed to be a representation, by such Holder to the Company, that the settlement of such conversion in full (assuming Physical Settlement), and without regard to this Section 14.13, will not contravene the Ownership Limitation.

(d)By written notice to the Company, a beneficial owner of any Note may from time to time increase or decrease the Ownership Limitation to any other percentage specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) calendar day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such beneficial owner. The provisions of this Section 14.13 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 14.13 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

(e)Upon the occurrence of a Merger Event, (i) the Ownership Limitation and this Section 14.13 will thereafter apply as if each reference to “Common Stock” in this Section 14.13 were instead a reference to the Common Equity (including depositary receipts representing Common Equity), if any, forming part of the Reference Property of such Merger Event; and (ii) if such Reference Property includes no such Common Equity or depositary receipts, then the Ownership Limitation and this Section 14.13 will thereafter cease to apply.

(f)Under no circumstances shall the Trustee or the Conversion Agent have any obligation to monitor the ownership of Common Stock of any Holder or beneficial owner of the Common Stock or identify any beneficial owner of the Notes, or otherwise make any determination, monitor or otherwise take any action with respect to the restrictions set forth in this Section 14.13.

ARTICLE 15

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 15.01Repurchase at Option of Holders.

(a)Each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash on each of September 15, 2027 and March 15, 2028 (each, an “Installment Repurchase Date”), all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, at a repurchase price equal to 100.00% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable

133


Installment Repurchase Date (the “Installment Repurchase Price”), unless the Installment Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Installment Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 15.01(a); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be repurchased on each such Installment Repurchase Date shall not exceed the lesser of (x) $15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, and (y) 5.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on the applicable Company Notice Date (the “Maximum Installment Repurchase Amount”).

(b)If more than $30,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes (the “Retirement Threshold”) remains outstanding on June 14, 2026 after giving effect to any applicable transactions made pursuant to proviso set forth in the first sentence of Section 4.13(c)(i), then each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash on June 15, 2026 (the “Put Repurchase Date”), all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, at a repurchase price equal to 106.5% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Put Repurchase Date (the “Put Repurchase Price”), unless the Put Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date and the Put Repurchase Price shall be equal to 106.5% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this ‎Section 15.01(b).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, subsequent to the provision of a Company Notice that includes a Form of Put Repurchase Notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to each Holder pursuant to Section 15.01(c), the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that less than the Retirement Threshold of Existing Notes will remain outstanding on June 14, 2026, then the Company Notice and Form of Put Repurchase Notice immediately shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and rescinded and of no force or effect, and the Company will be under no obligation to repurchase Notes on the Put Repurchase Date pursuant to this Section 15.01.

(c)Repurchases of Notes under this Section 15.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i)delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Repurchase Notice”) in the forms set forth in Attachment 2 or Attachment 3, as applicable, to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Repurchase Date; and

(ii)delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry

134


transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the applicable Repurchase Price therefor;

provided, that, with respect to any repurchase offer pursuant to Section 15.01(a), if Holders opt to tender (for repurchase pursuant to this Section 15.01) Notes, the Installment Repurchase Price of which would in the aggregate exceed the Maximum Installment Repurchase Amount, then the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be repurchased shall be limited to an aggregate principal amount of Notes for which the Installment Repurchase Price does not exceed the Maximum Installment Repurchase Amount.  If fewer than all tendered Notes are to be repurchased pursuant to the preceding sentence and (x) the Notes to be repurchased are Global Notes, the Notes to be repurchased shall be selected by the Company in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or (y) the Notes to be repurchased are not Global Notes, the Company shall select the Notes or portions thereof of a Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be repurchased (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustment to maintain the authorized denominations of the Notes).  If any Note selected for partial repurchase is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for repurchase.

Each Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased pursuant to a Company Notice shall state:

(1)in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(2)the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(3)that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Repurchase Notice must comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.

Any Holder that does not deliver a Repurchase Notice prior to the Repurchase Expiration Time will be deemed to have elected to not participate in the relevant repurchase.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.01 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 15.03.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(d)Not less than 20 calendar days prior to each Repurchase Date, the Company shall provide written notice (the “Company Notice”) to the Trustee for such purpose, to the Paying

135


Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to each Holder (the date of such Company Notice, the “Company Notice Date”).  Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the information set forth in the Company Notice on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.  The Company Notice shall include the applicable Form of Repurchase Notice to be completed by a holder and shall state:

(i)the last date on which a Holder may exercise its repurchase right pursuant to this Section 15.01 (the “Repurchase Expiration Time”);

(ii)the Repurchase Price;

(iii)the Repurchase Date;

(iv)the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;

(v)if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate;

(vi)that the Notes with respect to which a Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(vii)the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their under this Section 15.01.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.01.

At the Company’s request, given at least five days before such notice is to be sent (or such shorter amount as agreed by the Trustee), the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

No Repurchase Notice with respect to any Notes may be delivered and no Note may be surrendered for repurchase pursuant to this Section 15.01 by a Holder thereof to the extent such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to such Note in accordance with Section 15.02 and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company at the option of the Holders on the Repurchase Date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).  The Trustee will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Repurchase Price with

136


respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 15.02Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a)If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 calendar days or more than 35 calendar days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 105.25% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 105.25% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this ‎Article 15.

(b)Repurchases of Notes under this ‎Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i)delivery to the Paying Agent by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 4 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

(ii)delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:

(i)in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(ii)the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

137


(iii)that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this ‎Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with ‎Section 15.03.

The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(c)On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof.  In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.  Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the information set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.  Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(i)the events causing the Fundamental Change;

(ii)the effective date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii)the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this ‎Article 15;

(iv)the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(vii)if applicable, the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate;

(viii)that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder

138


withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(ix)the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this ‎Section 15.02.

At the Company’s request, given at least five days before such notice is to be sent (or such shorter amount as agreed by the Trustee), the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

No Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to any Notes may be delivered and no Note may be surrendered for repurchase pursuant to this Section 15.02 by a Holder thereof to the extent such Holder has also delivered a Repurchase Notice with respect to such Note in accordance with Section 15.01 and not validly withdrawn such Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes).  The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 15.03Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Repurchase Notice.

(a)A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent in accordance with this ‎Section 15.03 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the second Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, specifying:

(i)the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

139


(ii)if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(iii)the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in minimum denominations of $1,000 or a multiple in excess thereof,

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice of withdrawal must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

Section 15.04Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Repurchase Price.

(a)The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in ‎Section 4.04) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Repurchase Price, as the case may be.  Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or second Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, as applicable) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as applicable (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.01 or ‎Section 15.02, as the case may be) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by ‎Section 15.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.  The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Repurchase Price, as applicable.

(b)If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as applicable, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as applicable, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or the Repurchase Price, as applicable, and, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest).

(c)Upon surrender of a Physical Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to ‎Section 15.01 or Section 15.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate

140

(a)comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act;

(b)file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and

(c)otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this ‎Article 15 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 15.

ARTICLE 16

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

Section 16.01Optional Redemption.  No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.  The Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to October 1, 2024.  On or after October 1, 2024, the Company may redeem (an “Optional Redemption”) for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the first sentence of Section 16.02(d)), at the applicable Redemption Price.

Section 16.02Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes.

(a)In case the Company exercises its Optional Redemption right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any portion of the Notes pursuant to ‎Section 16.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (each, a “Redemption Date”) and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not less than 45 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall deliver or cause to be delivered a notice of such Optional Redemption (a “Redemption Notice”) not less than 50 nor more than 70 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed as a whole or in part; provided, however, that, if the Company shall give such notice, it shall also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent.  The Redemption Date must be a Business Day, and the Company shall not specify a Redemption Date that falls on or after the 41st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The Company shall not, and the Company shall not be permitted to, send a Redemption Notice so long as, as of the date of the Redemption Notice, the Company shall have failed to file all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that it was required to file such reports and materials), after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than Current Reports on Form 8-K.

141


(b)The Redemption Notice, if delivered in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice by mail or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

(c)Each Redemption Notice shall specify:

(i)the Redemption Date;

(ii)the Redemption Price;

(iii)that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(iv)the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

(v)that Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;

(vi)the procedures a converting Holder must follow to convert its Notes and the Settlement Method and Specified Dollar Amount, if applicable;

(vii)the Conversion Rate;

(viii)the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if any, assigned to such Notes; and

(ix)in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.

A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.

(d)If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes, the Company must, in the case of each Optional Redemption, elect to redeem a minimum of $62,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes.  If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are Global Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Depositary in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary.  If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed and the Notes to be redeemed are not Global Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of a Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers to be fair and appropriate.  If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the

142


portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption.

Section 16.03Payment of Notes Called for Redemption.

(a)If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with ‎Section 16.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price.  On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.

(b)Prior to the open of business on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in ‎Section 7.05 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date.

143


(a)Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, and the Trustee hereby (i) consents and agrees to the terms of the Related Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral and authorizing the Collateral Agent to enter into any Related Collateral Document on such Holder’s and Trustee’s behalf) and the Intercreditor Agreements, in each case, as the same may be in effect or may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture and (ii) authorizes and appoints U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as the Collateral Agent, and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Related Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.  The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all rights, privileges, immunities and protections of the Trustee set forth in this Indenture, including but not limited to the right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified under Section 7.06, in the acceptance, execution, delivery and performance of its role as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Related Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements as though fully set forth therein.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or the Company, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Related Collateral Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)The Company consents and agrees to be bound, and, subject to Section 17.05, to cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to consent and agree to be bound by the terms of the Related Collateral Documents, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and agrees to perform its, and to cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to perform their, obligations thereunder in accordance therewith.  The Company will deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Related Collateral Documents, and the Company will, and, subject to Section 17.05, the Company will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be required by, and subject to the limitations set forth in, the provisions of the Related Collateral Documents to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby and thereby, and to create and maintain enforceable and perfected Liens in and to the Collateral as contemplated by the Related Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted (subject to the limitations set forth therein and in the Intercreditor Agreements), in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee, the Holders and the Collateral Agent, and to otherwise comply with the Collateral Requirement.

(c)The Collateral Agent shall not (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Related Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or

144


(ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or any officer or Affiliate thereof, contained in this Indenture, any Related Collateral Document, any Intercreditor Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure of any other party to this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(d)No provision of this Indenture, any Related Collateral Document or any Intercreditor Agreement shall require 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 thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders or the Trustee if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability.  The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

(e)Subject to Section 17.05 hereof, in each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Related Collateral Document or Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.  The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.  Subject to Section 17.05 hereof, if the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal

145


amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(f)The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee, a Holder or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes subject to this Article 17.

(g)Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.  Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in good faith.

(h)Each successor Trustee may become the successor Collateral Agent as and when the successor Trustee becomes the Trustee.

(i)Without limiting the generality of the authority granted to the Collateral Agent under clause (a) above to enter into Intercreditor Agreements, if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (x) incurs any Permitted Junior Indebtedness at any time when neither a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement is in effect or at any time when Permitted Junior Indebtedness that is subject to a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (y) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of such Indebtedness so incurred, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

Section 17.02No Impairment of the Security Interests.  Except as otherwise permitted under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Related Collateral Documents, neither the Company nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will be permitted to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes.

146


Section 17.03Authorization of Actions to Be Taken by the Collateral Agent Under the Related Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and the terms of the Related Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee may (but shall have no obligation to), in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, direct, on behalf of the Holders of Notes, the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

(i)enforce any of the terms of the Related Collateral Document and the Intercreditor Agreements; and

(ii)collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture, the Notes, the Related Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

(b)Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent will have power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, and such suits and proceedings as may be necessary to preserve or protect the interests of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the interests of the Holders of Notes 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 under the Related Collateral Documents or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or of the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent).

Section 17.04Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Collateral Agent under the Related Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.  The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Related Collateral Documents and/or the Intercreditor Agreements, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral.

Section 17.05Termination of Security Interest; Release of Collateral.

(v)in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Related Collateral Documents and/or the Intercreditor Agreements.

(b)Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or liability for determining the Company’s compliance with this Section 17.05, but instead may rely exclusively on any Officers’ Certificates issued by the Company under this Section 17.05.

(d)The release of any Collateral from the terms of the Related Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof or affect the Lien of this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to this Indenture or the Related Collateral Documents or upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.  For the avoidance of doubt, the requirements of Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act shall not apply to any release of the Collateral.

(e)Upon such release or any release of Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Related Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee shall direct the Collateral Agent to and upon such request and direction, the Collateral Agent shall:

(i)assign, transfer and deliver to the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent except as to the fact that the Collateral Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Collateral or any part thereof to be released as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise

149


basis, to each Holder, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and each of their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, Repurchase Price, Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price or Redemption Price, if applicable) of and accrued and unpaid interest on each of the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(a)The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver, amendment or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations (other than yet unasserted Contingent Obligations) contained in the Notes, the Related Collateral Documents and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 18.06.

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

(c)Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Note Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Note Obligations (other than yet unasserted Contingent Obligations) guaranteed hereby.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Note Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Note Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Note Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Note Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.  The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees.

150


(d)Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(b)If required by Section 4.17 the Company shall cause any newly created or acquired Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary, or any Subsidiary previously deemed to be an Excluded Subsidiary that ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, to comply with the provisions of Section 4.17 and this Article 18, to the extent applicable, within 60 calendar days on which such Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary is created or acquired or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary (or such later date agreed to by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion (including by email)).

Section 18.04Subrogation.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 18.01provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing for which notice of Acceleration has been given by the Trustee, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full (other than yet unasserted Contingent Obligations).

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Each Officers’ Certificate provided for, by or on behalf of the Company in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, with respect to compliance with this Indenture (other than the Officers’ Certificates provided for in ‎Section 4.08) shall include (a) a statement that the person signing such certificate is familiar with the requested action and this Indenture; (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statement contained in such certificate is based; (c) a statement that, in the judgment of such person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed judgment as to whether or not such action is permitted by this Indenture and the Related Collateral Documents, if applicable; and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the judgment of such person, such action is permitted by this Indenture and the Related Collateral Documents, if applicable, and that all conditions precedent to such action have been complied with.

Section 19.09Table of Contents, Headings, Etc.  The table of contents and the titles and headings of the articles and sections of this Indenture and in the other Note Documents have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Indenture or any other note Document or the terms or provisions hereof or thereof.

156


Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to ‎Section 7.08.

Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity is otherwise eligible under this Section 19.10‎, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation or other entity.

Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company.  The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Company.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent (which may be the Trustee), shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall deliver notice of such appointment to all Holders.

The Company agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services although the Company may terminate the authenticating agent, if it determines such agent’s fees to be unreasonable.

The provisions of ‎Section 7.02, ‎Section 7.03, ‎Section 7.04, ‎Section 8.03 and this Section 19.10 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

If an authenticating agent is appointed pursuant to this Section 19.10, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

158


conclusively upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification.  The Trustee will forward the Company’s calculations to any Holder of Notes upon the request of that Holder at the sole cost and expense of the Company.

Section 19.17Insurance Laws.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the Note Documents, neither the Trustee nor the Holders, nor any of their agents, will take any action pursuant to any Note Documents that would constitute or result in (i) any violation of Applicable Insurance Laws, or (ii) the acquisition of control of a Regulated Insurance Entity by any Person, within the meaning of any of the Applicable Insurance Laws, if such acquisition of control would require prior notice to, or the prior approval of, an Insurance Regulatory Authority, without first providing such notice or obtaining such approval, as applicable, it being agreed and understood that (x) in no event shall the Company or any Subsidiary take any action, or fail to take any action, that could impede the Holders or the Trustee or any of their assignees from ultimately acquiring control of each Regulated Insurance Entity if the Holders or the Trustee or such assignees so determine to file an application for acquisition of control and (y) the Holders and Trustee or such assignees may at any time exercise any control or other rights to which they are otherwise entitled to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to any limitations arising from the fact that approval of such application has not yet been obtained.  Each of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will cooperate in the preparation and prosecution of such notices or applications as may be necessary to secure approvals or otherwise permit such transfer or assignment or otherwise permit the Holders and the Trustee and such assignees to exercise any of their rights and remedies under the Note Documents, in compliance with Applicable Insurance Laws at such times and in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Note Documents.

In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25.00% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Repurchase Price on any Repurchase Date, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price on any Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Date, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Redemption Price on any Redemption Date and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of such Note.  The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute amended and supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture, the Notes and the other Note Documents as described therein.  It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.


Each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Redemption Price, the Repurchase Price, the Asset Sale Offer Repurchase Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money or shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, herein prescribed.

The Notes shall be redeemable at the Company’s option on or after October 1, 2024, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the Indenture.  No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

Notwithstanding anything in the Notes to the contrary, in the case of any conflict between the Notes and (i) the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control and govern, and (ii) an Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall control and govern.

4

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement also secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by the Grantors, or any of them, to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties or any of them, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Grantor due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding. Further, the Security Interest created hereby encumbers each Grantor’s right, title, and interest in all Collateral, whether now owned by such Grantor or hereafter acquired, obtained, developed, or created by such Grantor and wherever located. Each Grantor acknowledges that value has been given and that the parties hereto have not agreed to postpone the time of attachment of the Security Interest. The Security Interest of each Grantor is intended to attach, as to all of the Collateral, and with respect to any particular item of the Collateral, upon the execution by such Grantor of this Agreement and such Grantor obtaining rights in such item of the Collateral or the power to transfer rights in such item of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent.

4.Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) at all times prior to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly assuming any such duties or obligations in connection with the enforcement of the Security Interest or the exercise of its remedies, each of the Grantors shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, including the Pledged Operating Agreements and the Pledged Partnership Agreements, to perform all of the duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral, except to the extent the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has expressly assumed any such duties or

9


obligations in connection with the enforcement of the Security Interest or the exercise of its remedies, and (c) at all times prior to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly assuming any duties or obligations in connection with the enforcement of the Security Interest or the exercise of its remedies, none of the Secured Parties shall have any obligation or liability under such contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall any of the Secured Parties be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantors thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Until an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Note Document, Grantors shall have the right to possession and enjoyment of the Collateral for the purpose of conducting the ordinary course of their respective businesses, subject to and upon the terms hereof and of the Indenture and the other Note Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that record and beneficial ownership of the Pledged Interests, including all voting, consensual, dividend, and distribution rights relating thereto, shall remain in the applicable Grantor until (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) the Collateral Agent has notified the applicable Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s election to exercise such rights with respect to the Pledged Interests pursuant to Section 15.

(d)[Reserved].

(e)This Agreement creates a valid security interest in the Collateral of each Grantor, to the extent a security interest therein can be created under the UCC, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations. Except to the extent a security interest in the Collateral cannot be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement under the UCC or the delivery of Control Agreements with respect to Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, all filings and other actions necessary to perfect such security interest have been duly taken or will have been taken upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements under the UCC listing each applicable Grantor, as a debtor, and the Collateral Agent, as secured party, in the jurisdictions listed next to such Grantor’s name on Schedule 4 and containing an adequate description of the Collateral, together with the payment of any associated fees or the delivery of Control Agreements with respect to each of the Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts listed on Schedule 5 (other than Excluded Accounts).

This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall terminate automatically upon termination of this Agreement.

11.Collateral Agent May Perform. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors to the extent required to be reimbursed by the Company under Section 21(b) of this Agreement.

12.Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the use of reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is entering this Agreement not in its individual capacity, but solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder and under any Related Collateral Document only in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture and shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities granted to the Collateral Agent under the Indenture, including without limitation those set forth in Articles 7 and 17 thereof, as if such rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities were expressly set forth herein or therein, as the case may be.

13.Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to the Company, the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent’s designee may (but shall not be obligated to) (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable

17


Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the applicable Note Documents, to the extent such costs and expenses are required to be reimbursed by the Company under Section 21(b) of this Agreement.

14.Disposition of Pledged Interests by the Collateral Agent. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the Issue Date are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof are expected to be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, the Collateral Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Interests or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Interests to more than one offeree.

15.Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.

(a)Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Collateral Agent may, at its option, and with three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to any Grantor including details of the Event of Default, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is the Collateral Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if the Collateral Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner the Collateral Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall automatically terminate upon termination of this Agreement.

16.Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a)the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Note Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, the Collateral Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except (x) any notice required by this Agreement or the other Note Documents and (y) a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Collateral, and (ii) without notice except any notice required by

18


this Agreement or the other Note Documents and as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that (A) the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC, and (B) to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, notification by mail of the URL where a sale will occur and the time when a sale will commence at least ten days prior to the sale shall constitute a reasonable notification for purposes of Section 9-611(b) of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable disposition (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC.

(b)the Collateral Agent is hereby granted (to the extent grantable by such Grantor without breaching or violating any agreement) a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property, including but not limited to, any labels, Patents, Trademarks (subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of Trademarks), trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, and advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any Intellectual Property License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

(c)[Reserved].

(d)[Reserved].

(e)Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Collateral Agent.

17.Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Collateral Agent as provided for in this Agreement or in the other Note Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Note Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Collateral Agent of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

18.Application of Proceeds. (a) The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Secured Obligations pursuant to

19


the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.05 of the Indenture.

19.[Reserved].

20.Marshaling. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

21.Indemnity and Expenses. Section 7.06 (Compensation and Expenses of Trustee and Collateral Agent) of the Indenture is hereby incorporated by this reference, mutatis mutandis.

22.Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and each Grantor to which such amendment applies. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. Any waivers, amendments or otherwise occurring under this Agreement must occur in compliance with the Indenture.

23.Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to the Collateral Agent at its address specified in the Indenture, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Indenture, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

(b)The Security Interests securing the Secured Obligations shall be released with respect to any Collateral, in whole or in part, to the extent the release of such Security Interests in such

20


Collateral is provided for, or permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Indenture and any other Note Document (other than this Agreement) governing such Secured Obligations.

(c)At the time of any release pursuant to clause (b) above, all rights to the Collateral released shall revert to the Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto, and the Collateral Agent shall return to the Grantors any such released Collateral in its possession.

(d)No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Indenture or any other Note Document or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to the Collateral Agent nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to any Grantor by the Collateral Agent, nor any other act of the Secured Parties, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release in accordance with this Section 24.

Debt Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Excess Senior Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing or purporting to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Issuer, any Grantor or any other Person or otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed.

SECTION 2.02Nature of Senior Priority Secured Parties Claims.  Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that (a) a portion of the Senior Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently re-borrowed, (b) the terms of the Senior Priority Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (c) the aggregate amount of the Senior Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. The Lien priorities provided for in Section 2.01 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification, or any Refinancing, of either the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations, or any portion thereof. As between the Issuer and the other Grantors, on the one hand, and the Second Priority Secured Parties, on the other hand, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Issuer or any other Grantor contained in any Second Priority Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of additional Senior Obligations.

SECTION 2.03Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  (a) Each of the Second Priority Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Senior Priority Representative or any of the other Senior Priority Secured Parties or any other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Priority Collateral or the allowability of any claims asserted with respect to any Senior Obligations in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) and (b) each Senior Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Priority Secured Party under its Senior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Second Priority Representative or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties in the Second Priority Collateral or the allowability of any claims asserted with respect to any Second Priority Debt Obligations in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior Priority Representative to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided in Section 2.01) or any of the Senior Priority Debt Documents.

SECTION 2.04No New Liens.  The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, (a) none of the Grantors shall grant any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure (x) any  Second Priority Debt Obligation unless it has also granted, or concurrently therewith also grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations or (y) any Senior Obligation unless it has also granted, or concurrently therewith also grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the  Second Priority Debt Obligations; and (b) if any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any  Second Priority Debt Obligations that are not also subject to the Liens securing all Senior Obligations under the Senior Priority Collateral Documents, such Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Secured Party (i) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly also grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Senior Priority Representative as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Designated Senior Representative as security for all Senior Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Priority Secured Parties (but may retain a junior Lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (ii) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each Senior Priority Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Senior Priority Representative and the other Senior Priority Secured Parties as security for the Senior Obligations; provided that this provision will not be violated (i) with respect to any particular series of Additional Senior Priority Debt Obligations if the applicable trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, security agent or similar agent under such Additional Senior Priority Debt Facility that is named as the Representative in respect of such Additional Senior Priority Debt Facility in the applicable Joinder Agreement is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien on any asset or property and such trustee or agent expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property or the Issuer states in writing that the Senior Priority Debt Documents in respect thereof prohibit such agent or trustee from accepting a Lien on such asset or property or (ii) with respect to any particular series of Additional Second Priority Debt Obligations if the applicable trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, security agent or similar agent under such Additional Second Priority Debt Facility that is named as the Representative in respect of such Additional Second Priority Debt Facility in the applicable Joinder Agreement is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien on any asset or property and such trustee or agent expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property.  To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason (i) without limiting any other right or remedy available to any Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Priority Secured Party, each Second Priority Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties for which it has been named the Representative, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Second Priority Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.04 shall be subject to Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 and/or (ii) without limiting any other right or remedy available to any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party, each Senior Priority Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior Priority Secured Parties for which it has been named the Representative, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Senior Priority Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.04 shall be subject to Section 4.01 and Section 4.02.

SECTION 2.05Perfection of Liens.  Except for the limited agreements of the Senior Priority Representatives pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof, none of the Senior Priority Representatives or the Senior Priority Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Secured Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties and shall not impose on the Senior Priority Representatives, the Senior Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives, the Second Priority Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority or any applicable Law.

SECTION 2.06Certain Cash Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any Senior Priority Debt Documents or Second Priority Debt Documents to the contrary, collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure First Lien Indenture Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit or otherwise held by the First Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to the First Lien Indenture shall be applied as specified in the First Lien Indenture and will not constitute Shared Collateral.

18 -


and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Shared Collateral or any other Senior Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party; provided, however, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Issuer or any other Grantor, any Second Priority Representative may file a claim, proof of claim, or statement of interest with respect to the Second Priority Debt Obligations under its Second Priority Debt Facility in a manner that is not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (B) any Second Priority Representative may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations or the rights of the Senior Priority Representatives or the Senior Priority Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Shared Collateral, (C) any Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise their rights and remedies as unsecured creditors, to the extent provided and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 5.04, (D) any Second Priority Representative may exercise the rights and remedies provided for in Section 6.03 and the Second Priority Secured Parties may file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance that is not permitted by this Agreement of the claims or Liens of the Second Priority Secured Parties or the avoidance of any Second Priority Lien to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (E) any Second Priority Secured Party may (subject to the provisions of Section 6.10(b)) vote on any plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation, agreement for composition, or other type of plan of arrangement proposed in or in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding that conforms to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (F) from and after the Second Priority Enforcement Date, the Designated Second Priority Representative (or such other Person, if any, as is so authorized under the applicable Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) may exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Second Priority Debt Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), but only so long as (1) a Senior Priority Representative has not commenced and is not diligently pursuing any enforcement action with respect to a material portion of Shared Collateral or (2) any Grantor which has granted a security interest in any Shared Collateral is not then a debtor under or with respect to (or otherwise subject to) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (G) any Second Priority Representative may bid for or purchase Shared Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon such Shared Collateral initiated by any Senior Priority Secured Party or any sale of Shared Collateral during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Second Priority Debt Obligations unless such credit bid provides for the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Priority Collateral, the Senior Priority Representatives and the Senior Priority Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Priority Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable Law of any applicable jurisdiction and of

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), the sole right of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Shared Collateral in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to the Second Priority Debt Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.

(c)Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), (i) each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Second Priority Representative nor any such Second Priority Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior Priority Representative or any Senior Priority Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Priority Debt Documents, including any Disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Second Priority Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Senior Priority Representatives or the Senior Priority Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Senior Priority Collateral (including any right to object to a First Lien Creditor accepting any Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of First Lien Obligations under Section 9-620 of the UCC), regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Priority Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties.

(d)Each Second Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Second Priority Debt Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Priority Representatives or the Senior Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Priority Debt Documents.

(e)Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), the Designated Senior Representative shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Shared Collateral and shall have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or

20 -


remedy or conducting any proceeding with respect thereto. Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Second Priority Representative (or any Person authorized by it) shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral, and the Designated Second Priority Representative shall have the exclusive right to direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Second Priority Representatives, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Second Priority Collateral Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.01 shall impair the right of any Second Priority Representative or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations as may be otherwise required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Second Priority Secured Parties or the Second Priority Debt Obligations.

SECTION 3.02Cooperation.  Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior Priority Secured Parties and the Senior Priority Representatives upon the request of the Designated Senior Representative) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Shared Collateral under any of the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations.

SECTION 3.03Actions Upon Breach.  Should any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Senior Priority Representative or other Senior Priority Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Issuer or any other Grantor) or the Issuer or any other Grantor may obtain relief against such Second Priority Representative or such Second Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby (i) agrees that the Senior Priority Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Secured Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the Issuer, any other Grantor, any Senior Priority Representative or the other Senior Priority Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action that may be brought by any Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Priority Secured Party.

aggregate principal amount of the Notes  (as such term is defined in the First Lien Indenture) and (y) each other Senior Priority Representative (acting with the consent of the requisite holders of each series of Additional Senior Priority Debt), no such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, waiver, supplement, modification or Refinancing (or successive amendments, restatements, amendment and restatements, waivers, supplements, modifications or Refinancings) shall (1) contravene any provision of this Agreement, (2) directly or indirectly increase the  portion of the applicable interest rates in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations payable in cash (excluding, without limitation, increases in connection with the imposition of a default rate per annum at the stated default rate, and fluctuations in underlying benchmark interest rates (including by giving effect to the higher of any benchmark interest rate floor and the then-applicable benchmark interest rate) by more than 4.0% per annum, (3) change to earlier dates any scheduled dates for payment of principal (including the final stated maturity date) under such Second Priority Debt Document to a date earlier than the maturity date of the First Lien Indenture Obligations, (4) add or modify in a manner adverse to any Grantor or any Senior Priority Secured Party any financial covenant or any Event of Default under the Second Priority Debt Documents (except to the extent necessary to conform to changes made to the Senior Priority Debt Documents and subject to the preservation of a 15.0% cushion to financial covenant levels and dollar amounts consistent with those contained in the Senior Priority Debt Documents in effect prior to such addition or modification), (5) restrict the amendment of the Senior Priority Debt Documents or (6) reduce the capacity to incur Indebtedness for borrowed money constituting Senior Obligations to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of Senior Obligations permitted under the Senior Priority Debt Documents on the day of any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, waiver, supplement, modification or Refinancing. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.03(d) shall not, prior to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Issuer, be construed to override any limitation contained in any Senior Priority Debt Document on the amount of Second Priority Debt Obligations permitted to be incurred.

SECTION 5.04Rights As Unsecured Creditors.  The Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Issuer and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and applicable Law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any express provision or are otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral. In the event any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior Priority Representatives or the Senior Priority Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Priority Collateral.

SECTION 5.05Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a)Each Senior Priority Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Priority Representative, or of agents or bailees of such Person (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), or if it shall at any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or with respect to any Shared Collateral subject to any other arrangement set forth in Section 5.01(d), the applicable Senior Priority Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, on behalf of, and as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for, the relevant Second Priority Representatives (the foregoing being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), 9-104(a)(5) and 9-313(c) of the UCC), in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.

(b)In the event that any Senior Priority Representative (or its agents or bailees), or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations, any Second Priority Representative, has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, such Senior Priority Representative, or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations, such Second Priority Representative, agrees to hold such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representatives and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.

(c)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Priority Representatives and the Senior Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Priority Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(d)The Senior Priority Representatives and the Senior Priority Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Secured Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Priority Representatives (and after the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Second Priority Representatives) under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and

28 -


(b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Second Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Second Priority Representative and delivering the Shared Collateral upon a Discharge of Senior Obligations as set forth in Section 5.05(f).

(e)The Senior Priority Representatives shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party, and each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Priority Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Priority Representatives’ roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.

(f)Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Priority Representative shall, at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Second Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so and as the Designated Second Priority Representative may direct, all Shared Collateral, including all Proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign to the Designated Second Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so and as the Designated Second Priority Representative may direct, its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, (B) if not legally permitted or no direction is given and if prior to discharge of the Second Priority Debt Obligations, deliver such Shared Collateral and assign its rights in respect thereof as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct or (C) if the Second Priority Debt Obligations have been discharged and, following the occurrence of a DIP Cap Election, the Discharge of Excess Senior Obligations has occurred, deliver such Shared Collateral to the Grantors and terminate its rights therein as directed by the Grantors; (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be an additional loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier; and (iii) notify any Governmental Authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Second Priority Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding. The Issuer shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby.  The Senior Priority Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party in contravention of this Agreement.

(g)None of the Senior Priority Representatives nor any of the other Senior Priority Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Issuer or any Subsidiary to any Senior Priority Representative or any Senior Priority Secured Party under the Senior Priority Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any

29 -


particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

(h)Following the occurrence of a DIP Cap Election and the Discharge of Senior Obligations and Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, each Second Priority Representative further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Issuer or any Senior Priority Representative at the expense of the Issuer in connection with the Senior Priority Representatives obtaining a first-priority security interest in the Collateral if any Excess Senior Obligations remain outstanding.

SECTION 5.06When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed To Not Have Occurred.  If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Issuer or any Subsidiary consummates any Refinancing or incurs any Senior Obligations (other than in respect of the payment of indemnities surviving the Discharge of Senior Obligations), then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Priority Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be the Senior Priority Representative for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that such Senior Priority Representative shall have become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.09.  Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Priority Representative), each Second Priority Representative (including the Designated Second Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Issuer), including amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement, as the Issuer or such new Senior Priority Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Priority Representative the rights of a Senior Priority Representative contemplated hereby and (b) deliver to such Senior Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all Proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Second Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign to such Senior Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral.

SECTION 6.01Financing and Sale Issues.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Issuer or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each

30 -


Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that (A) if any Senior Priority Representative shall desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to provide or otherwise consent (or not object) to the Issuer’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except to the extent permitted by the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated to or have the same priority as the Liens securing such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement; provided that, solely at the election of the Issuer (which shall be made by written notice to each Representative and irrevocable once made) (such election, the “DIP Cap Election”), the sum of (a) the maximum aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness that may be outstanding from time to time under such DIP Financing (including any such portion thereof that constitutes rollover of loans and/or letters of credit under the Senior Priority Debt Documents) plus, without duplication, (b) the aggregate principal amount of loans, the aggregate face amount of undrawn letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Senior Priority Debt Documents and the aggregate amount of unreimbursed drawings under letters of credit issued under the Senior Priority Debt Documents (after giving effect to any such portion thereof that was subject to a “roll-up” pursuant to a DIP Financing) as of the petition date of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall not exceed a percentage, as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion (but not less than 115%), of the Senior Debt Cap Amount immediately prior to the time the DIP Financing is entered into (for the avoidance of doubt, before giving effect to any rollover of any loans and/or letters of credit under the Senior Priority Debt Documents into the DIP Financing),  (y) any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Priority Representatives, and (z) all adequate protection liens granted to the Senior Priority Secured Parties, (B) it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest any motion for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations or the Senior Priority Collateral made by any Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Priority Secured Party, (C) it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest any lawful exercise by any Senior Priority Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any foreclosure or other sale of Senior Priority Collateral, including pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or other applicable law, (D) it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Priority Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Priority Collateral, (E) it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest any election made by any Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Priority Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, and (F) it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest or oppose (and will be deemed to have consented pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code) any Disposition (including pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other

31 -


Bankruptcy Law) of assets of any Grantor (including any process or procedures in connection with such Disposition) for or to which any Senior Priority Representative has consented or not objected that provides, to the extent such Disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the Proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Second Priority Secured Parties are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition in accordance with Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under any other applicable Bankruptcy Law), so long as any such credit bid provides for the payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received one (1) Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving any usage of cash or other collateral described in this Section 6.01 or approving any DIP Financing described in this Section 6.01 shall be adequate notice; provided, that, following the occurrence of a DIP Cap Election, the Senior Debt Cap Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such sale or other disposition which are used to pay the principal or face amount of the Senior Obligations.  No Second Priority Party may, directly or indirectly, provide or propose or support any other Person in providing or proposing DIP Financing to a Grantor.

SECTION 6.02Relief from the Automatic Stay.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.

SECTION 6.03Adequate Protection.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall object to, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Priority Representative or any Senior Priority Secured Parties for adequate protection in any form, (b) any objection by any Senior Priority Representative or any Senior Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Priority Representative’s or Senior Priority Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the allowance and/or payment of pre- and/or post-petition interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (as adequate protection or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Priority Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement

32 -


collateral and/or a superpriority claim (as applicable), which Lien and/or superpriority claim (as applicable) is subordinated to the Liens securing, and claims with respect to, all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens or claims granted to the Senior Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection, on the same basis as the other Liens securing, and claims with respect to, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing, and claims with respect to, Senior Obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that each Second Priority Representative shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority administrative expense claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims and (ii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority claim, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Priority Representative shall also be entitled to seek without objection from any Second Priority Secured Party a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security and adequate protection for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing and/or a superpriority claim (as applicable) and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations and/or superpriority claim (as applicable) shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing or providing adequate protection for, and claims with respect to, the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens or claims granted to the Senior Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing, and claims with respect to, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing, and claims with respect to, Senior Obligations under this Agreement.  If any Second Priority Secured Party receives adequate protection in any form and the Senior Priority Secured Parties have not also received adequate protection in such form, such adequate protection shall be turned over to the Designated Senior Representative pursuant to Section 4.02 of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the Senior Priority Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments, then the Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition incurred fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments (as applicable), subject to the right of the Senior Priority Secured Parties to object to the reasonableness of the amounts of fees and expenses or other cash payments so sought by the Second Priority Secured Parties, provided that the same shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Senior Priority Representative, for the benefit of the Senior Priority Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes Senior Priority Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Priority Secured Parties (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable) to be held or applied by the Senior Priority Representative in accordance with the terms of the Senior Priority Debt Documents

33 -


until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred shall have occurred before any of the same may be retained by one or more of the Second Priority Secured Parties

SECTION 6.04Preference Issues.  If any Senior Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of the Issuer or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason (any such amount, a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations and, following the occurrence of a DIP Cap Election, and/or Excess Senior Obligations, as applicable, that are subject to such Recovery shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations and, following the occurrence of a DIP Cap Election, Discharge of Excess Senior Obligations, as applicable,  with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement and the underlying Senior Priority Debt Documents or Second Priority Debt Documents.

SECTION 6.05Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Priority Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation, agreement for composition, or other type of plan of arrangement proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties), the Senior Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts

34 -


distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, and expenses, and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution from the Shared Collateral is made in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations, with each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties).

SECTION 6.06No Waivers of Rights of Senior Priority Secured Parties.  Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Secured Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.

SECTION 6.07Application.  This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and Proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.

SECTION 6.08Other Matters.  To the extent that any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, then, except as otherwise permitted herein, such Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Priority Representative; provided that, if requested by any Senior Priority Representative, such Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Priority Representatives (acting unanimously), including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

SECTION 6.09506(c) Claims.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other

35 -


Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral.

SECTION 6.10Reorganization Securities; Voting.

(a)If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations or equity securities of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation, agreement for composition, or other type of plan of arrangement proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations that constitutes a distribution from or on account of the Shared Collateral, whether such distribution is made in respect of a “secured claim” within the meaning of section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code  or (except as provided below) otherwise, then any such distribution received by a Second Priority Secured Priority prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall be paid over or otherwise transferred to the Senior Priority Representative, on behalf of the Senior Priority Secured Parties, for application in accordance with this Agreement, unless such distribution is made under a plan that is consented to by the affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of the Senior Priority Secured Parties (and such classes do not include the claims of any creditors other than Senior Priority Secured Parties). Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or limits the right of a Second Priority Secured Party to receive and retain any distribution pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in connection with an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any claim classified under such plan as an unsecured claim in accordance with section 506(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 6.11Post-Petition Interest.

(a)Neither any Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or otherwise.

(b)No Senior Priority Representative nor any other Senior Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Priority Debt Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest, fees, or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, so long as the Senior Priority Secured Parties are receiving post-petition interest, fees, or expenses in at least the same form being requested by such Second Priority Representative or such other Second Priority Secured Party and then only to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Priority Representatives on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties on the Shared Collateral (after taking into account the Senior Obligations).

Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Second Priority Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on any Senior Priority Representative or other Senior Priority Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Second Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Second Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 7.01 shall impose any obligation on any Representative to make any credit decisions beyond that which may be required by its applicable debt documents.

SECTION 7.02No Warranties or Liability.  Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that neither any Senior Priority Representative nor any other Senior Priority Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Senior Priority Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Priority Representatives, the Senior Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Second Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 8.01Conflicts.  Subject to Section 8.18, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Priority Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Priority Representatives and the Senior Priority Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Senior Priority Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the Senior Priority Intercreditor Agreements and in the event of any conflict between a Senior Priority Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of such Senior Priority Intercreditor Agreement shall control as to the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Priority Representatives and the Senior Priority Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Senior Priority Collateral, and (b) the relative rights and obligations of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Second Priority Collateral

38 -


shall be governed by the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreements and in the event of any conflict between a Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of such Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control as to the relative rights and obligations of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Second Priority Collateral.

SECTION 8.02Continuing Nature of This Agreement; Severability.  Subject to Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred and, following the occurrence of a DIP Cap Election, the Discharge of Excess Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the Senior Priority Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Issuer or any other Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8.03Amendments; Waivers.

(a)No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 8.03, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)This Agreement may be amended in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility). Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 and, upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and

39 -


the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

SECTION 8.04Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Issuer and the Other Subsidiaries.  The Senior Priority Representatives, the Senior Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Issuer and the other Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations. The Senior Priority Representatives, the Senior Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that any Senior Priority Representative, any Senior Priority Secured Party, any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Priority Representatives, the Senior Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential. Nothing in this Section 8.04 shall impose an obligation on the Senior Priority Representatives or the trustee under the First Lien Indenture to keep itself informed as to the financial condition of the Issuer or its Subsidiaries or the risk of non-payment beyond that which may be required by the First Lien Indenture.

SECTION 8.05Subrogation.  Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees not to assert any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.

SECTION 8.06Application of Payments.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Priority Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Priority Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent with the terms of the Senior Priority Debt Documents.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

SECTION 8.07Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party hereto waives any claim it might have against any Secured Party with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment or negligence, mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of any other party hereto or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Senior Priority Debt Documents or Second Priority Debt Documents, as applicable, or any transaction relating to the Shared Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. None of the Secured Parties, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Shared Collateral or for any delay in doing so or, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, shall be under any obligation to Dispose of any Shared Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any Secured Party or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Shared Collateral or any part thereof.

SECTION 8.08Dealings with Grantors.  Upon any application or demand by the Issuer or any other Grantor to any Representative to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement, upon such Representative’s reasonable request, the Issuer shall furnish to such Representative a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Issuer (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement, as the case may be, relating to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

SECTION 8.09Additional Debt Facilities.

(a)To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the Senior Priority Debt Documents and the Second Priority Debt Documents then in effect, the Issuer or any other Grantor may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Additional Second Priority Debt and one or more series or classes of Additional Senior Priority Debt. Any such additional class or series of Additional Second Priority Debt (the “Second Priority Class Debt”) may be secured by a Lien on Shared Collateral that is junior in priority to any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents for such Second Priority Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Second Priority Class Debt (each, a “Second Priority Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Second Priority Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any Second Priority Class Debt being referred to as the “Second Priority Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying conditions (i) through (iii), as applicable, of the immediately succeeding paragraph, and Section 8.09(b). Any such additional class or series of Senior Priority Debt Facilities (the “Senior Priority Class Debt”; and the Senior Priority Class Debt and Second Priority Class Debt, collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a Lien on Shared Collateral that is senior in priority to any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligations, in each case under and pursuant to the Senior Priority Collateral Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Senior Priority Class Debt (each, a “Senior Priority Class Debt Representative”; and the Senior Priority Class Debt Representatives

(ii)the Issuer shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Second Priority Representative an Officer’s Certificate stating that the conditions set forth in this Section 8.09 are satisfied with respect to such Class Debt and, if requested, true and complete copies of each of the Second Priority Debt Documents or Senior Priority Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer on behalf of the relevant Grantor and identifying the obligations to be designated as Additional Senior Priority Debt or Additional Second Priority Debt, as applicable, and certifying that such obligations are permitted to be incurred and secured by each of the applicable Senior Priority Debt Documents and Second Priority Debt Documents, or to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the incurrence of such Additional Senior Priority Debt or Additional Second Priority Debt under any applicable Senior Priority Debt Documents and Second Priority Debt Documents, the Grantors have obtained the requisite consent; and

(iii)the Second Priority Debt Documents or Senior Priority Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide, or shall be amended on terms and conditions reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative and such Class Debt Representative (each acting at the direction of the requisite holders of each such Class Debt), that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt.

(b)With respect to any Class Debt that is issued or incurred after the Closing Date, the Issuer and each of the other Grantors agrees that the Issuer will take, as applicable, such actions (if any) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by any Senior Priority Representative or any Second Priority Representative (each acting at the direction of the requisite holders of each such Class Debt), and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or

42 -


supplements to the then existing Collateral Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Collateral Documents) as may from time to time be necessary or reasonably requested by such Persons, to ensure that the Class Debt is secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant Collateral Documents relating to such Class Debt, and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes each applicable Senior Priority Representative and each applicable Second Priority Representative, as the case may be, to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Collateral Documents).

SECTION 8.10Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties of the Debt Facility for which it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York City in the borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

The undersigned Senior Priority Class Debt Representative (the “New Representative”) is executing this Representative Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Senior Priority Debt Documents and the Second Priority Debt Documents.

Accordingly, the New Representative agrees as follows:

SECTION 1.In accordance with Section 8.09 of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the New Representative by its signature below becomes a Representative under, and the related Senior Priority Class Debt and Senior Priority Class Debt Parties become subject to and bound by, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if the New Representative had originally been named therein as a Representative, and the New Representative, on behalf of itself and such Senior Priority Class Debt Parties, hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement applicable to it as a Senior Priority Representative and to the Senior Priority Class Debt Parties that it represents as Senior Priority Secured Parties. Each reference to a “Representative” or


Senior Priority Representative” in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Representative. The First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2.The New Representative represents and warrants to the Designated Senior Representative and the other Secured Parties that (i) it has full power and authority to enter into this Representative Supplement, in its capacity as [agent] [trustee] under [describe debt facility], (ii) this Representative Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of such Agreement and (iii) the Senior Priority Debt Documents relating to such Senior Priority Class Debt provide that, upon the New Representative’s entry into this Agreement, the Senior Priority Class Debt Parties in respect of such Senior Priority Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement as Senior Priority Secured Parties.

SECTION 3.This Representative Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing also applies to any amendment, extension or renewal of this agreement.  Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other party/ies that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute this Representative Supplement through electronic means and there are no restrictions for doing so in that party’s constitutive documents.

SECTION 4.Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to


replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
